wishes emphasized and that is
that all packages have to be taken to
the post office by the sender, ami this
doesn't mean the numbered substations

Such a step is considered unnecessary j
at present. The postoffiee department ]
lias been 'working overtime since las:
July, when congress passed the law. i
' preparing for the inauguration of the
new service. Twenty thousand of the i
most delicate and intricate scales have j
been ordered for delivery before Jan. 1. |
A most elaborate system of maps
lias been completed, inaugurating a j
zone system. There are eight differ- !

WIRELESS PHONE A SUCCESS.
Harvard
Professor Sends So^.od of
Voice Thirty-five Miles.
Assistant Professor G. \Y. Pierce of
the department of pky?ios at Harvard j
has devised a new wireless telephone j
instrument which may eventually revolutionize
the methods of lone: distance
communication. The new instrument
lias already received the hearty indorsement
of John Hays Hammond, .Jr.
Professor Pierce was the jjuest of Mr.
Hammond at his Gloucester laboratory
at Fresh Water Cove recently, whert

the elub members for a space covering
fifteen minutes.

books or printed matter.
A special series of stamps has been
