Only Road of Its Kind on the Ameri-

In the town Of Caborca, in the Altar
district OF Sonora, Mexico, construction
has been commenced on what will be,
when completed, the first and only one
rail tramway or railway In operation
on the American continent. This novel
railway will run from San Salinas to
Caborca, distance Of twenty-five
miles. 1t Is most effective on long
hauls through mountainous countries
where the grade is irregular.
The tramway Is n French invention,
owned by the Monorail Portaif Nj
veau du Sol, or Single-Rail Portable
Tramway Company of Paris. NJ. A..
l.. Callleet of Paris, who Is one of the
engineers of the company, is superin-
tending the construction Of the rail
way at Caborca. According to NJ. Call

only about five years ago. He states

have the strongest and soundest lungs.
The average German takes into his
lungs 5000 cubic centimeters of air at
a breath, while professional singers
take In 1000 to 5000. The tenor GUM
was able to fill his lungs at one gasp
with air enough to suffice for the sing
ing of the whole of Schumann's song,
'The Rose, the Lily" and one of the
old Italian sopranists was able to thrill
up and down the chromatic scale two
octaves in one breath.
The singer not only supplies his lungs
with more vitalizing oxygen than other
persons do, but he subjects the muscles
Of his breathing apparatus Tor several
hours n day to a course Of most bene-
fetal gymnastics. almost all the mus
cles of the neck and chest are directly
or Indirectly invoived in these gymnas-
tics. The habit of deep breathing cul-
tivated by singers enlarges the chest
capacity, and gives to singers that erect
and imposing attitude, which Is so de-
sirable and so much admired. The ribs,
too, are rendered more elastic, and
singers do not in old age suffer from
the breathing difficulties to which 9TH
ers are so much subject. BY exercis-
ing so many muscles singing further
more improves the appetite, most vo-
calists being noted for their inclination
to good meals. The nose of n singer
Is kept in n healthy condition by being
imperatively and constantly needed for
breathing purposes, the injurious
mouth breathing so much INDUCED In
by others being impossible in this case.
That the ear, too, is cultivated, need
not be added. In short. there is hardly
any kind of gymnastics that exercises
and beneAts so many organs as singing
