Ono way Of cheaponing the present
heavy expense Of travel and transporta-
ton In this country Of long distances
may DO the adoption Of the single track
railway. Il is claimed for this that is
cars can be placed on any Of tho present
railway trucks without change. thus on
abling two trains TO pass each other on
the tracks now used for one train. and
Transforming double track road into
one Of four tracks. II Is claimed. too,
that only fifteenth rs much coal Is
used as the ordinary engine consumes
More than this. With the economy Of
weight and the lesaening Of friction by
cutting down tho number Of tracks and
wheels one half, the speed OF u trim may
be greatly augmented, reaching even rs
high rs ninety or n hundred miles an
hour. Ninety miles an hour has been
attained In tho experimental roads de-
vised to Illustrate the invention. When
the single track trains are put upon the
ordinary two track road they pass each
other with width between them Of
eleven inches.
The principle OF the balancing Of a
single train Is partly that Of tho bicycle,
which holds itself upright and steady
under rapid motion. The invention is
indeed called the bicycle railroad. But
this Is not sufficient for safety, and there
fore the train runs along steadied by nm
overhead support, which consists In part
Of a guide wheel. II would DO strange
II 10 apparently simple nm invention as
tho single track railroad would ut last
solve all the problems Of cheap travel and
transportation. which is the real indus.
trial problem Of the present day.

I, could hardly have happened outside
Of Texas. and II was an incident strange
enough TO be PIT into novel In fact,
years ago Oliver Wendell Holmes makes
n similar incident the basis for thrill
ing episode In hig novel "Elsic vcnner."
A huge negro was wanted ut Eagle
Lake for burglary An officer who
knew him saw him at San Antonio. I'm
mediately . deputy sheriff started In
pursuit. The burglar saw din and
made dash for freedom. lie ran eight
blocks and then. breathless. jumped
into the river lie waded into the water
considerable distance. The deputy
was on horseback. lilo threatened 10
shoot the negro IL he did not come out.
Mt the same time presenting q pistol
But he declined to surrender.
Then came the part OF the story that
could not have happened outside Of
America. except perhaps in Australia
The deputy had apparently served his
apprenticeship as u COW boy, and be-
como an adept in the use Of the lasso.
Ho had lariat at his saddle bow, wild
horseman fashion. Hc hurled Il at the
negro, and endcavorcd TO rope him M he
would have dono Texas steer But tho
thief was gamo. Each time the long
rope came hurting through tho air he
dIcl,cd his head under water like duck,
and thus escaped the moose. He could
have got on very well this way. but un-
fortunately there was the necessity Of
breathing. In n desperate moment his
black, shiny pate twinkled one instant
above the surface Of the water The
instant was fatal. The whirling rope
settled around his neck, and he was
dragged In triuuSh to shore amid tho
admiring hurrahs Of 500 excited specta.
