RlNEAARr's INDIAN PICTURES,

In the summer OF 1898 the Govern
ment Indian Bureau invited all tribes
Of Indians in this country to send dele
gates to an Indian Congress, and they
gathered from far and near with their
ponies and tepees and gaudiest trap
pings in the Exposition Grounds at
Omaha. Never before had there been
and never again will there be such a
gathering. There were about five hun
dred of them, some partly civilized, but
the greater portion picturesque in
original savagery. Strange as 1t may
seem at this late day many OF the In
dians declared that before coming to
Omaha they had no idea what multi
tudes OF white men there were or how
hopeless It was 10 try to stand against
them. This was probably the last time
that so complete and spectacular a
view of the North American Indian
will be possible and these who had the
privilege OF witnessing II are to be
counted fortunate. At the time OF the
Indian Congress prominent pho
tographer obtained psrmlss.S. to take

chiefs present and succeeded IN obtain

Farnum advised me to remain an old

Amphibious Automobiles,

A Swedish engineer, Mr.. Magrelem,
has lately built tramway boat that is
really an amphibious means OF loco
motion. for 1t moves along quite as
easily on the water as on q railway
track. The tramway boat was devised
to ply across two lakes north Of Copen-
hagen. divided by neck of land about
800 meters Wide. II had been nearly
decided to dig canal across the 18th
mus In order to connect the two sheets
Of water by a continuous channel. W hen
Mr.. Ma&relam offered his plan. Tho
amphibious steamboat. as described by
the Automobile Magazine. Is 1t meters
long by four meters beam; she weighs
II tons when empty and Is tons with
her maximum load. The engine Is 25
horse power. and its action Is trans
to the propeller or to the trimmed
wheels. She can carry 20 passengers.
In passing from the liquid medium to
the solid road the boat enters a small
canal having a slightly inclined bottom
and two grooves, where the front
wheels are engaged and then meet tho
rails. with which they keep In contact
by the action OF some pins or spikes.
As soon ~ contact is secured the whole
power Of the engine is brought to boar
on the front wheels. which easily pull
the tramway boat up the incline to the
dry land and make her travel on tho
rails like m ordinary car. On reach
ing the other sIdc OF the isthmus she
launches herself by the same process.
