ships. We We're about seven miles

Spanish sailor swimming nearly five
miles from shore. having probably
jumped overheard from one of the
ships. Although it seemed cruel, we
could not stop our ship to pick him
up. but as our vessel swept along one
of our gunners grabbed the desk which
we had been using at our Sunday SER

and shouted to him to cling to 1t and
he would be saved. Whether the man

the incident shows how quick our men
were to try to save the lives of those
who had been lighting against us"

Two Ways of Looking at it.

A Western philosopher argues that
the brown jug ought not to be con-
demned, because a fisherman who fell
from his boat into the Missouri river
would have been drowned, but for an
empty jug, to the handle of which he
clmg until help arrived. We admit
that this is a strong argument in favor
of the jug, says the Chicago Times
Herald, but there is another way OF
looking at it. If the fisherman hadn't
had the jug perhaps he wouldn't have
fallen into the river.

slNaLE-RAIL MOTOR CAR.
A Novel Type of Vehicle Bui't for
Service in India.

Novel Type of Vehicle Bui1t for
Service in India.
The single-rail railroad has fornd an
extensive field for usefulness in various
parts Of South America, and also pretty
generally In India. In both countries
the system Is a form of the well-known
Decauville system, in which the bulk
Of the weight is carried on two wheels
aligned in the same longitudinal plane
beneath the car, while the balancing Is
performed by a cross beam or outrig-
ger, to which is harnessed the horse or
mule which draws the load, or, if man
power Is used, the boom is steadied by
an attendant. This is the plan which
Is more generally followed in South
tomary to place a wheel at the end of
the outrigger and so distribute the
weight In loading the car that the bulk
OF the load is carried by the rail wheels,
only a small fraction of the weight
being borne by the road wheels. These
trucks are, as a rule, drawn by oxen.
The truck, which is herewith illus
trated, is being specially constructed
for service in India; and, while it Is
built on the general lines of the OK
drawn vehicle, it differs from it in that
the motive power is derived from stOr-
age batteries carried on the platform
of the car. The motor is placed be-
tween the two wheels, and carries on
its spindle double pulley which is
