servers as obviously true, owing to the
height of the position, though at some
points it might lack gun platform to re-
sist artillery fire from the two extended
sides. 1t is not likely. that General
Warren will let go anything he holds,
and news of further success is calmly
awaited. The military authorities rec
ognize, of course, that in the 10 or 10
miles between Spionkop and Ladysmith
there are continuous defensive positions
and rugged hills and ravines which far
outrange Spionkop, but they are sure
that the troops who have turned the
Beers out Of difficult places can do it
again. The military expert of the
Times says: "It is exceedingly difficult
to arrive at any exact estimate Of the
advantage gained A definite tactical
object has been attained and definite
steps have been taken in the fulfillment
of the strategy plan. It is necessary
to await further information before at
taching much Importance to successes
attained. At least there has been steady
progress"

Beyond this it is not publicly known
here how heavily General Butler has
been reinforced, but those holding GER
tain connections with the war Office

as many more men as he will need to

SHANGHAI, Jan. 26.-The North China

last night by Emperor Kwangsu, ap-
pointing as emperor in his place Put
sing, the 9-year old son of Prince Tuan.
ON Jan. 81.
LONDON, jan ga special dispatch
from Shanghai says: The father Of the
new emperor is the head of the great
secret societies known as sThe Great
Sword" and "The Boxers extending
over the provinces of Chi, Shantung and
Ho Nan, which were responsible for the
murder of Mr.. Broolkes, the missionary.
Various edicts have been issued with
a view of assuaging public anxiety, and
the rumors respecting the fate of the
ex-emperor are spreading rapidly. 1t is
expected that his dethronement was de-
cided upon at council convened by the
empress dowager on Tuesday. The
Manchu clan favors the change, but the
! Chinese proper oppose it and predict a
tremendous upheaval.
1t is believed that Russian and French
legations were notified of the impend-
ing changes and that they will support
the new regime. 1t is reported that
/ French naval force has already reached
Pekin.
The British and United States lega
tions, who have been favorable to, Kwang

departure, but it is asserted that Il

4 SINGULAR RAILWAY.
ELECTRIC CARS SUSPENDED FROM A SOL
ITARY RAIL

The recent completion OF a portion of new local
railway in Germany directs attention afresh to
various attempts which have been made TO run
cars on a single rail- One of the first experiments
in this direction made at Coney Island nearly
quite twenty years ago. In what was known
as the "Boynton bicycle railway the weight OF the
train was borne by cai laid on the surface OF the
ground. light structure erected beside the track
afforded means for steadying the cars and keeping
them from falling sdewise. A somewhat diff
ferent system has been tried in England. The rail
is laid a framework whose cross section is
A-shaped. and which stands about two and one
half or three feet high corresponding recess is
formed in the lower part of the car which rides
astride. This system invented by q man named
Behr and ne calls it the ''monoraiL" 1t has given
such excellent results on a small scale that ii is
now proposed TO build long line the same prin-
ciple. Boynton used steam locomotive. Behr
relies upon electric motors.
The line under construction between Barmen and
Vohwinkel. Germany, and passing through Elber-
field and Sonnborn is suspension road. That is to
say. the cars hans from a single rail that is
tained at elevation CT twenty-six feet from the
ground The rail is supported by arches of peculiar
form. and composed of sheet iron II is hardly
necessary To say that the enterprise involves
highly original engineering designs. The road has
over eight miles long. There are TO be twenty sta
tions. The central section of the line. in and
near Elberfeld was officially opened a fortnight
so ago in the presence of the German Emperor. The
Rohwinkel end viii be finished next year. and the
Barmen end in 1902
The cars on this road run in trains by electric
power. An overhead wire is suspended from the
arches on one side of the rail Each car hangs
by TWO wheels or turntables" and these are
caused to rotate by electric motors. In principle
the system closely resembles the trolley. The
mOtorman controls the whole train from the front
platform Thus the multiple unt system. devised
by Sprague and developed by others. has here
fresh application. The equipped with both
electric and pneumatic brakes, and lighted with
electric lamps.
One Of the great advantages possessed by any
single ran road is that it can turn sharper curves
trains go around some curves of scarcely 300 feet
radius. and II under good headway swing out side
wise at an angle of fifteen degrees This gives the
passengers an experience like that OF yachtsmen in
a brisk beam wind
u The Inventor of the system here described
Herr Eugen LANCER who died in 1895, the year in
which the towns along the line finally decided to
build this novel road. Construction was not under
taken, however, until 1898

''Dockerty's Advantages shows how much the law
OF compensation may level and soften the inequall-
ties Of exterior iife and moreover IT discreits in
a simple but effective and pleasant way, the
Populistic and other recent endeavors to make pO-

So too. the narrative Of the result the be-
reaved mother in "A Thanksgiving Baby" is on a
similar line, while at the time 1t does not
ceal the anguish that must overcome the other
mother whom grinding poverty compels to give up
the child Of her flesh and her affections. and 1t
does suggest to the wealthy philanthropist the
establishment and maintenance OF institutions TO
aid in preventing such dire necessity.
"Sr Arthur and the Duke has of course, an
advantage over the others in possessing the added
dignity of biography and history in relation to
OF the most fascinating Of the fine arts. but that
narrative also-and stil more because IL IS not hc
