THE UNiCYCLE RAILWAY.
A Slnglo-Rail Track Road DcSlgnel
High Speed Tranlc.

A Singlo-Rail Track Road Dcsignel for
High Speed Tranic.
During several weeks last summer
there were in regular and continuous
operation, in railway passenger service,
the locomotive and cars shown in she
lower view herewith presented, the
service being between Gravcsend and
Coney Island, on an abandoned section
Of an old standard gauge track of the
Sea Beach & Brighton railroad. The
locomotive weighs nine tons, and has
two 10 by 12-inch cylinders, the piston
rods Of both being connected w:sh
cranks on each side the single six-fnpt
driving wheel, and the front Of the 10
comotive being also supported by two
3S-inch pony wheels, one behind the
other. These wheels have double
flanges, to contact with either side Of
the track rail, as also have similarly ar
ranged pairs of 3S-inch wheels arranged
under and housed in the floors near each
end Of the cars.
In the upper view Is shown an i'm
proved locomotive especially designed
for this method Of traction, and built
for use on q street railway of western
city. Il weighs 16 tons and has
pair Of five-foot drivers. Tho crank il
only seven inches in length, and the en-
CINE is designed to readily make GOO
revolutions . minute, and maintain
speed Of 100 miles m hour with . full
train Of passenger cars. The first Boyn-
ton locomotive, described in September,
1850, had an eight-foot driving wheel
and weighed % tons. It proved too
heavy for use on the old Coney Island
road, although it was undoubtedly cap
able Of making very high speed and
easily drawing heavy train OF single
wheel cars on a properly arranged
track.
In q true line with. and fifteen feet
directly above the face Of the track
rail is the lower face Of guide rail,
supported from posts arranged along
the side of the track, and on the sides
Of this guide rail run pairs Of rubber
faced trolley wheels attached to the
top OF the locomotive and the cars. The
guide rail is simple stringer Of yellow
pine, 4Axs inches in section, and the
standards on which the trolley wheels
arc journaled are placed far enough
apart to allow a space of inches be-
tween the contiguous faces Of each pair
Of wheels, thus affording ~ inches for
lateral play, or sidewise movement
toward or from the guard rail, it being
designed that the guide rail shall be
arranged in the exact line Of the true
center Of gravity Of the cars and
locomotive. The standards are boltcd
to 6-inch wide strap iron attached tc
and extending across the top of the car.

markably simple. In addition to an or

TN WOMAN'S BEHALF.
A WORD 70 o,f.ls.5

Every Young Woman should Strive For
Thorough Training In the Classics and
Mathematics.
Although so much has been written
and said on this subject want to add
my little might to the general fund, and
perhaps it will help or interest some
one who has not noticed more wise and
practical discussion.
Girls, your heads are all right, You
have plenty Of brains. plenty Of splen-
did and dormant qualities that, il you
knew how to bring out and develop
them, would add greatly to the general
good and your happiness and success.
The trouble is you don't know how
to use your minds, the best part Of
them. You are like workmen with
many and great tools who do not know
the use Of them, and so they lie useless
and get rusty as time goes on.
How wish could make each one Of
you feel that unquenchable fire for
knowledge that would not let you rest
until you had obtained first-class col
lege education: until your minds were
trained so that You could use the tools

character and of the character of those
to come.
Do you ever think that it is your duty
to so train and cultivate yourself, es-
pecially it you contemplate marriage,
which of course all we'll balanced young
women do? You have no right to hand
down an indolent half-dcvelopcd mind
any more than half developed body.
II you can not possibly 60 to college,
read and study alone and you will be
surprised at the ease with which you
grasp subjects, before out Of your reach
Every girl ought to have q thorough
training In the classics and mathe-
matics; then they would be ready to
dive into their chosen study or business
and bring up something worth the time
and labor.
Education makes the moral nature
more sensitive to the true, the beauti-
ful, the perfect As for more practical
things, an educated business woman
becomes twice as bright; domestic
woman twice as quick; society woman
more fascinating; lover more lovable.
II you arc not yet out Of your teens and
think your school days over, let me i'm
plore you to start this very day, to
study and work with renewed energy.
Don't marry. don't think yourself pre-.
pared for any great work unless you
feel that you have a mind trained to
keep you from the quicksands of ignor-
ance and doubt-Jean Rollins, in Chica-

WOMEN AS PHYSICIANS.

A Likely Possibility That Before Many
Years They Will Have Become Import
ant and Popular Members or Every
Community.
The graduation of nine women a.
from the New York Medical
College for Women quickly succeeded
the graduation Of the fourteen women
lawyers from the university of the city
of New York. All the reasons which
support the fitness of women for the
bar can be urged in favor of their
entrance on the field of medicine. The
kecnness and quickncss Of an educated
woman's mental processes, the ability
in which she far surpasscs men in intu-
itivcly grasping truths. her hatred Of
wrong and her prompt sympathy for
every kind of suffering, all point to her
for both the great professions
of law and medicine But in addition
to this there is most important argu-
ment to be urged in favor of women
physicians. Hy far the greater portion
of medical patients In the United States
are women. And in medicine, as in
most other things, no one can minister
SO naturally and effectively to the needs
OF women as women themselves. The
experiment is not new one. Women
have already achieved certain measure.
of success as physicians. They have
been greatly hampered by inadequate
educational facilities and the force of
conservatism, which is nowhere more.
potent than among the feminine sex.
But in all directions the paths Of educa-
ton are being opened to women who
have the intelligence and energy to
take advantage of them, and the preju-
dice against women's work outside the
home circle is lessening very rapidly.
1t would be rash to prophesy, but it
does not seem impossible that before
the noon of the twentieth century Is
reached women may have established
themselves, beyond all question, as
skilled and generally popular phySi-
clans of their own sex.--N. Y. Press

A Girls Best Friend.

Remember that the best friend, the
best confidante, is your mother. Have
no friend with whom she is not ac-,
quainted. Make her interested in what
you are doing, and if the trials of her
life are many. just remember that to-
gain sympathy you must give it. Make;
yourself your mothers companion and,
friend, and then she will be yours. Do
nothing that you conceal from her, and
never believe for minute that when
you have really made her understand.
she will not care for what interests you.
Mother isn't SO very much older than.
you after all-it hasn't been such long
time since she enjoyed just what you
do. since life seemed a, full of bright
ness as does yours. since she made as
many inquiries and tried to think out
as many problems as you do, AID once
you two can meet on this common,
ground, be sure that you will have ao-
body who will as Thoroughly sympathixS
with you as does your mother. r.-Ladies'

education of the sexes. For one reason
when there is any thing like separation
in the matter of education, it induces a
certain sectional feeling, as of one party
arrayed against another; and again
there should be no such thing as a
monopoly of knowledge on the part of
one sex over that of the other, and un-
less our young men and women are
trained together there will be parts Of
the education of each more or less
neglected. Girls who are educated in
converts are never broadly educated.
Neither are girls in any kind of schools
which separate them from the other
sex broadly or generously educated.
They each need the other. 1t needs
the contact of the masculine mind with
the feminine mind to stimulate mental
activity to the highest point, and to
draw out the best there is in each
There is no use in saying that lsnowl-
edge Of certain class belongs to wom-
en- because they are women, aud knowl-
edge of certain superior class belongs
to men because they are men. 1t is
not sex but ability which should gov
ern.
In making up of families those which
are the most harmonious and kindly
and happy are those in which there are
both brothers and sisters, and there is
no reason why any portion of the hu
man family should be isolated during
school life or thereafter. When girls
are brought in contact with boys in
competition for class standing or prizes
they look upon them as they are, fel
low human beings, instead of trying
simply to make an impression upor
them and to win from them admira
ton. The men and the women who ar.
the best educated morally, mentally
and physicaly are those which hav,
