A 0ne.legged Railroad.

The "one-legged" railway now build
ing in the Bradford Pa.) oil region is
attracting a good deal of attention. The
construction of the road is simple, rapid
and easy. On the hard ground logs six
feet long, and from a foot and half to
two feet in diameter are placed at right
angles to the line, and from twelve to
fifteen feet apart, the distance varying.
In these logs vertical sawed posts, four
teen by fifteen and one-half inches, are
dovetailed and wedged. These verticals
vary in height, and by theirllength the
grade of the road is regulated. On the
top of these verticals the horizontal
pieces to which the rails are spiked are
laid, with their ends squarely against
one another. These sleepers are ten
inches by fifteen and one half in thick
ness. By proper arrangement of YER
tical and horizontal pieces of timber, the
timbers on which the rails are laid are
kept firmly in position, and two wooden
rails, three feet and a half below the
top of the iron rail, and twenty-five
inches apart, are spiked to the vertical
posts. Across streams and the swampy
ground piles are driven. On this one
rail a saddle-shaped car is mounted and
supported by two wheels, double langes.
The gondola car now mounted on the
portion of the road completed is twenty
two feet long, nine feet wide, and weighs
over 1000 pounds. The car is a double
decker, there being room for freight in
the body of the car and on each side of
the saddle. Twenty-Five inches below
plane tangent to the upper wheels, at
the lowest point of their circumference,
four smaller wheels are placed in hor-
izontal position, and in the same plane,
their circumferences being twenty-five
inches apart. These run against the
wooden guide-rails, and keep the car
in position. The wheels are attached to
standards connected with the iron frame
work of the car.

For a long time there have been re-
ports of the failing health Of Pope Plus
TX; and his death, which is announced
as having taken place on Thursday,
February Z, at Rome, has not
been unexpected. His life and
his reign have both been prolonged, the
latter beyond precedent. Giovanni
Maria Mastai Ferretti was born May ID,
1892, in Sinigaglia. His parents intended
him for the military profession. In lSO2
he attended the college at Yattena, and
in 1903 began at Rome his theological
studies. In 1918, at the age of 20, he
was ordained a. priest, and in 1928 he
accompanied the Papal Legate to the
newly formed Republic of Chill, and for
years resided in Santiago. In 1925, on
his return to Rome, he was appointed
President of hospital, and two years
later was appointed Archbishop of Spo-
letto. He was then but 80 years age.
During the political disturbances of
1S30-'31, he was Civil Administrator of
the provinces of Spoletto and Perugia,
displaying great ability in his civil
duties. In 1882, he was translated to
the See of Imola, and in December,
1889, was appointed Cardinal-Priest
by Pope Gregory XVI. That Pope died
in 1916, and on June 16 the College,
by an unanimous vote, elected Cardinal
Ferretti Pope. He was crowned Pope
June 2l, 1916, by the title of Plus TX.
He has survived all those who partici-
pated in his election, and the present
College of Cardinals is exclusively of
his own appointment. In this respect
we suppose his reign is an exception.
Though men holding the office of Pope
have died at a more advanced age, there
has been no other who had such a long
reign, or who filled the days of Peter
that is, served as Pope % years. At the
time of his death he lacked three
months of being sc years old; had been
a priest 60, Bishop 81, Cardinal SO,
and Pope 81 years and Z months. Of
the long list Of 257 Popes, there have
been but nine who served over 20 years.
One of these, Plus VI, was Pope "a
years and 6 months. Twenty-Five years
is the term attributed to Peter, and no
other Pope, except Plus TX, has served
a term of that length Chicago Trib-
