SrSeLE-xML TRMwAYs. - Expert
ments are being made In India In
reference to a new form OF single-rail
tramway. The cars In addition to the
ordinary description Of wheels, have n
pair OF Hanged weels, running one be-
hind the other ona single rail laid in
the centre of the track. These Hanged
wheels are so adjusted by a screw as
70 relieve the ordinary wheels of the
weight, without lifting them much
above the roadway. On this plan an
experimental tramway, with an in
clination Of one in forty, has been laid
for a short distance, and along this
track two bullocks will, 1t Is stated
easily draw n load Of three tons. The
advantages claimed by this system are
diminution OF the cost Of construction
70 the extent of n half below the
expenses Of the ordinary tramway, and
also a reduction Of the power required
for hauling.

HUMAN NATURE N THE RoUaH.-A-
general and sometimes ludicrous fea-
ture Of human nature (says a CORES
respondent writing from Fort Brldger)
appears In Its passion for localizing the
individual. a few days since, while
lettering on a station platform Of the
Central Pacific, the passengers Of our
train, chiefy tourists, were stifled with
heat, full of prlckly sensations from
alkali dust, and their eyes tortured
with the glare Of clay-colored, sage
sprinkled plains. Surely, more un-
favorable conditions seldom offer for q
display Of curiosity, and yet even the
Indians grouped about the car windows
praying for "mucamuc," with faces
of good-natured Incidence, and not one
word of Anglo-Saxon on their tongues,
were piled with questions rs to their
place Of residence-now by the Eng
lishman, with his chow-chow basket,
and baggage labelled "Marseilles to

legged Princes from Japan. whose feet

A SINGULAR discussion recently took
place in England in reference to the
shape OF the planet we inhabit, n Of
the disputants eontending that the
earth was perfectly flat, while the
other, contended that 1t was round.
This difference led toa wager Of : 1880,
and to certain experiments which re-
suited in the world being formally
pronounced round, and in the loss OF
the wager by the advocate Of the fiat
theory. The latter gentleman, how
over, was dis satisfied with the decision,
and was so overcome BY his feelings
on this purely philosophical question
as to write a threatening letter to his
opponent menacing his life. After
hearing the evidence, the magistrate
ordered the advocate Of the fiat theory
70 find security In the Sum Of $500 to
eept the peace, but the snaged phiios-
opher refused to give the required
bail, and was consequently sent to
prison.

IMPoRTANTD EcrsroN An important
decision, says the Carson Register, has
been rendered by the Supreme Court
IN the case Of Aaron D. Treadway,
plaintiff and respondent, VS.. William
Sharon ct ais, defendants and appel
lants. The opinion is by Justice Gar
Der, Chief Justice Lewis concurring-
Justice Whitman dissenting. The suit
was for compensatory damages, for
the removal Of n steam sawmill by
Sharon ct al. from land purchased from
the State by Treadway, amounting to
about SO, 600. The Court below held
that the mill or machinery was San
nexed to the freehold" and therefore
became a part of the realty, and award
cd damages for its removal according
". The Judgment and order of the
Court below Is affirmed. The Supreme
Court holds that the boiler and engine
In controversy were actually and firm
" annexed to the soil, solo infexo, In
the strlctest sense of the term, and that
the other articles, II not actually, were
constructively annexed, and follow the
nature Of the principal portion Of the
machinery n essential parts Of one en-
tire construction. Appellants set up
the defense that the mill was erected
for q temporary purpose, and that the
intention was to remove 1t whenever
the timber In the vicinity become ex-
hausted. The Court holds that 1t Is the
annextion to the soil, and not the in
tentlon, which controls In such cases,
as shown by the law as to young trees
temporarily set out in a nursery and
intended for transportation and sale ;
such trees, by the act of annexation,

committed Of It /; but not even growing
corn Is the subject Of such felony, be-
cause 1t Is "annexed to the freehold"
At the time the mill was erected, and
for more than a year thereafter. con-
tinues the Court, the land described In
the complaint was public land Of the
United States, and consequently during
all that time the parties erecting and
running the mill were naked trespass-
ers. The Court holds that the mill
passed to the State Of Nevada, with the
land, on the Sd day Of July, 1883, and
Of course It passed to Mr.. Treadway
when that gentleman purchased the
land from the State. The decision will
have an important bearing on the mat
ter Of the taxation of superstructures
upon public lands, and will tend to
lessen tho disposition manifested In
this State to trespass upon such lands.
