BURGESS severi tons of mail matter would be five | minutes in coming in this manner from | Baltimore to this city—that is, seven | tons would travel at the rate of 700 feet | in a second. “In answer to your correspondent “Iago,’ who inquires ‘if seven tons of mailable matter move at the rate of 700 feet per second, how is it possible to stop it when it arrives at Washington?’ I would say,” declares Mr. Richardson, “that the air contained in the last mile of the tube, at the Washington end, will be employed as an elastic buffer to resist and overcome the momentum of the load. This compressed air will be allowed to escape, however, through a safety valve, under a weight of 40| pounds per square inch, which amount of resistance against the plunger will very nearly overcome the said momen- tum, and after the load has passed the safety valve (which will be located a few feet from the end) the escape of air will be restricted to a small aper- ture, by which arrangement the ve- locity will be arbitrarily reduced to & gentle motion. The bell will announce the arrival of the mails which are thus safely landed in the Post Office at ashington.” Mr. Richardson hopes that the Gov- ernment will try out his invention. He says he is prepared to answer any other objections to it that may present them- selves to the minds of any persons in- terested in the device. The inventor’s proposal has aroused considerable public interest, but thus far there is no indication at the Capi- tol that Congress is ready to authorize the construction of such a mail tube for experimental purposes, either between Washington and Baltimore or in any other part of the country. Mr. Richard- son, however, is not discouraged and in- tends to keep on trying to get recogni- tion for his invention. “IF YOU WILL BUT USE YOUR INFLUENCE SHE SAID, “HE W! Louis XVI, {Marie Antoinette and the Dauphin_reached Varonne, in North- eastern France, at midnight of June 22,1791, They' were 150 miles from Paris. If luck held good, they would yet reach the frontier—and safety from their rebellious gsubjects. They drove to\the post-house. “Fresh horses at once,” said the King's outriders. “We must proceed without delay.” “There are no thorses ready,” was the reply. “Have you your passports?” An officer presented the passports. They were taken to M. Sausse, a store- keeper, who hapriened to be public of- ficer of the town. He cast his eyes over the papers. They were made out in' the name of Baron Korf. The man who now waited so anxiously in the carriage was described as the baron’s valets de chambre. But M. Sausse suspected that this midnight arrival was no valet de chambre. A half-hour before he had been roused from his slumber by young Drouet, son of the postmaster at St. Menehould. The boy had seen Louis as her left St. Menehould and had rid- den hard through the night to tell the officials of Varenne that Louis XVI and his family were fleeing France in dis- | guise. M. Sausse was timid and hesitant. Truth to say, he had ‘no feeling agains his monarch. For a moment the fate of the King and Queen and Dauphin hung in the balance.

A group of armed men had gathered by now at Sausse’s door. “We know you,” they told Louis as he entered. “If you recognize him,” said Marie Antoinette,” speak to him with the re- spect you owe your King."” In Sausse’s shop Louls made no fur- ther attempts at concealment. He or- dered with an assurance he did not feel. that fresh horses be put to his carriage a: once. Nobody moved to obey. The members of the royal family were pris- oners in the shop of a little prpvin merchant. Marje Antoinette forgot her dignity to make a tearful plea to Mme. Sausse, whom she had recognized to be the rea: head of the house. “If you will but use your influence with your husband,” she sald, “he will :leue_ us and we can go on to Mont- e “No,” said the woman. She looked shrewdly at this royal beauty who had become, 5o suddenly, a suppliant to her. “You are thlnklxa f the King” she said, “while I am ing of M.
