R17ssIA's NEW 1-wHEEL CART
\ Useful Light Pack Vehicle for the
 Roadless Parts of Siberia.

at the present moment, when our ex- tended military operations in China and South Africa give weight to the prob lem of transport, a new system which has lately been successfully introduced into the Russian army might be of con- siderable value It is intended for use in roadless districts in Siberia in which as in some parts of South Africa, trans port by ordinary military wagons is extremely difficult and labori1us. A single wheel is placed within a light wooden frame. The shafts are attach ed to this, one on each side, just be- low the axle. being united in an iron socket a few inches in front of the fixed frame. The mules and ponies are harnessed, not in front, but on each side Of the frame, which is less than a foot in thickness. A single short shaft with a fixed transverse bar at the end which hooks onto the two collars, screws into the iron socket. and can thus be made the length required. The load is placed upon a double pack sad dle, which rests upon the center of the frame. It weight, of course. thus pres scss almost entirely upon the central wheel. the two sides balancing each other and resting only very slightly up- on the backs of the animals. which are able to employ nearly all their strength in drawing the load. And the possibility of tipping backward or for ward is prevented by the leverage of the shaft attached to the collar. just as it is in two-wheeled cart, The saddle ts woven of ozier. and strengthened by a solid frame work of bent wood The lower part of this frame work is made to slip over the frame containing the single wheel. which it exactly fits. and tO which it is fastened when placed on the backs of the mules standing on each side, The traces are hooked onto
 the saddle (which now forms part of the cart itself), and the transverse bar at the end of the shaft being hooked on
 tc the collar. the whole occupation does not occupy more than a few moments. The load is generally placed in a kind of hOWdah (korzina), fitted on and at
 tached to the saddle. This is also made
 of oZier and hard wood, and varies in
 form. according to the nature of the wood, ammunition, forage, etc. It has l been found that far more than a dOu- ble load can thus be conveyed by pair of mules for longer distances and with
 much less fatigue. than when loaded singly. Resides serving for the rapid transport of ammunition and military stores. the same system is adopted for ! the conveyance of light mountain guns which are thus often brought into po- sitions which they could not otherwise reach without great delay.-London News.

JUMPED FOR HIGHEST WAGER

Tn the History of the West Branch Valley Mr. Meginness tells the story of Marcus Rulings famous jump.
 Huling was walking along the river bank when he suddenly became aware that he was pursued by Indians. Real izing that his only hope lay in flight, he ran with all speed toward the preci- pice at Blue Hill, but N;he Indians rap idly gained on him.
 Driven to the edge of the frightful prGcipice with the savages yelling in lis rear, he determined to jump, pre- ferring to die in this manner than to fall beneath the tomahawk.
 Seizing a large overhanging branch of a. tree, he leap5d over the brink and landed some 9 feet below on a shelf of rock, unhurt! From this point lie jumped 40 feet farther into the riven and escaped with only a dislocation of his shoulder.
 The savages were obliged to run round for a mile, and Huling had time to make his escape. It is supposed that the branch broke his fall and saved ais life. Huling, on being asked about it, replied:
 T jumped for a great wager. I jumped for my life!"
