RURAL, FREE DELIVERY A FEA TURE. The continued and rapid growth of the poetal service Is a sure index of the great and Increasing business activity of tho country. Its most striking ttw develop ment Is the extension of rural free de- livery. This has come almost wholly f within the last year. At the beginning ttt the fiscal year lfcf-ifc0 the number of 1 route In operation waa only 3tl and most H these ha a been running Uis man itweiv months. On the 16th of November. i 1m, the- number had increased to 2.S14. reaching intu forty-four states and ter- morie. and serving a population of . t.wi.lM. The number of applications now fr nas tended to allay the apprehension lhat It would be so expensive as to for- i Ud Its general adoption or to make it a port of I he post- master general, which, with Its recom mendations, is recommended to the on ' narmu-n of the congress. The full de ; elopement of ihl special service, how : f vtr. requires such a large outlay of , m-ney that it should be undertaken only afirr a careful study and thorough un '. terstandlng- of all that it involves.

Below are given the pieces and mat ing solution of a problem. The solv er's task is to reconstruct the position or to construct another which will fulfill all the conditions given. Black may have no other moves than those given in mating solution. Each dif ferent setting of any piece will count as a new position, but white may have no dual key-moves, continuations, or mate3 other than those noted in mat ing solution.

If Q Kt moves; Q Q R mate. Two points for each correct position. One point for author's name. UNIVERSAL NOTATION. Last week we quoted Mr. Uede mann's comments in the Chicago Times on a wholly numerical notation. The pieces are numbered K 1, Q 2, R 3, B 4, Kt 5, P 6. The board Is numbered thus: BLACK. 18 28 38 48 58 68 78 88 : 87 : 86 : 85 : 17 27 37 47 67 67 77 16 26 36 46 56 66 15 25 35 45 55 65 14 24 34 44 54 64 74 84 13 23 33 43 53 63 73 83 : 82 : 12 22 32 42 52 62 72 : 11 21 31 41 51 61 71 81 : WHITE. The opening moves of a Ruy Lopez, Berlin defense, would be noted as fol lows: 1. 5254, 5755. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 7163, 2836. 6125, 7866. 7100, 6654. 4244, 6857. 4152, 5446. 2536, 2736. 4455, 4627. 2133, 7800. 6151, 6858. 3153, 4745. Try playing this over, and note how simple it is. Notice that the ranks number from white's side of the board toward black's and that the files are numbered from Q R to K R. That the diagonals running "northeast" increase by 11 each square; those running "north west" decrease by 9 each square. White's K B stands originally on 61; the sum of these digits is 7, an odd number. Now, no matter where this B may go, the sum of the digits in each square will be odd. His major diag onal is a line of sevens, 61, 52, 43, 34, 25 and 16. Black's Q B stands at 38;. his major diagonal is a. row of elev ens. In fact, the sum of the digits in any white colored square will be an odd number. And the other bishops run on black squares, having an even "excess" of nines for adding the di gits of any number Is the shortest method of casting out the nines. White's Q B major diagonal is 31, 42, 53, 64, 75 and 86, or an "excess" of 4, 6, 8, etc. The obliques (the knight's move) are easily remembered: whenever he moves "northeast" the square is just 12 greater than the one he left. If "northwest," 8 less; if "southeast," 8 greater, and if "southwest," 12 less. In a general way (from White's view point) a knight's move forward and toward the right hand increases by 12; and toward the left hand, decreases by 8. By casting out the nines, it will be found that the knight changes from odd to even, and vice versa, with each move. Pawns advance by an increase or de crease of 1, and capture by an in crease or decrease of 11 or 9. Knight's advance or capture by an increase- or decrease of 12 or 8. . Bishops advance or capture by an increase or decrease of 11 or 9 or some multiple thereof. Rooks advance or capture by an in crease or decrease of 1 or 10 or some multiple thereof. The queen, of course, combines the powers of B and R. The king combines the powers of B and R, limited to one square at a time. Castles is written by annexxing 00 to the number of square to which the king goes. Pawn promotion is written thus: 67782, which means that a white pawn captures an adverse piece at K Kt 8 and becomes a queen. Or 17185, a white pawn reaches Q R 8 and becomes a knight. Positions are written" with the piece number and square number combined: White, 345 is R at Q 5; 218, Q at Q R 8, and so on. Let us hear from our players.

Our letter box is full and our stenographer taking a vacation. But we must stop the press to say that Dr. F. B. Van.Nuys has retired from his chess labors on the Tiffin (O.) Tri bune and the chess world will miss his bright comment and excellent problems and games. However, he has an able successor in Mr. Julius C. Ep pens and Tribune readers will hot lack for the good things of chess. ATTENTION, NEBRASKA! Nebraska chess players have either had too much chess or have fallen asleep. Several games in the Missis-, sippi match are dragging along and the southern players have been obliged to make complaint. Wake up! And either play chess on time, or resign good haturedly. By the way, both Ohio and Iowa want a match with Nebraska. We want 15 or more players who know the value of promptness, and how to push pawns, to play in both matches. Spak up, boys; who will volunteer? en weeks for ten cents!
