MT. F. B. Behr, a European engineer or note. It does away with the two-rall track and substitutes for it single elevated track. The center of gravity of the train is brought beneath the point of suspension. The monorail it. self is a stout metal, borne at the apex of transverse A standards, upon which the wheels sit. On each side of the standards run supplementary guide rails, which engage corresponding rollers on the car frame. Thus the ve- hicle is kept upright and prevented from swaying unpleasantly when go- inc around curves. The standards are bolted down to sleepers of the or dinary pattern so that the permanent way is one long, low metallic viaduct.
 The monorail has passed successful ly through the experimental stage. A short English line, known as the Bally- bunion 6 Listowel Light railway, has been ina successful operation for some time, and longer line has been oper- ated in Belgium, carrying both freight and passengers.

 In 1894 a new company was formed to purchase the old one and complete the work. It began operations at once and just about one-half of the total distance of 46.2 miles is now completed. The new company has rejected the sea level plan, advocated by De Lesseps, and substituted a sys- tenn of locks by which vessels are to be raised over Culebra hill. The Chagres river is to be utilized for filling the locks of the canal above the sea level (550 feet), and this will be done by creating two reservoirs or lakes, one across the valley of the Chagres at Bohio, the other at Ala jueldo. These lakes are to be large enough to hold any ordinary flood, but in case of their being flooded the waters can be carried off by other channels than the canal.

Tonight the members of the Pequot club will hold one of their regular monthly dances in the clubs pavilion. Everything is in readiness for the event and the committee extends a cordial invitation to friends of the or ganization to attend and a good time is assured.

Several times in the past threatened raids upon the railway have been prevented by American marines and guns, and the commercial nations of the world have always looked to the United States to keep the road open for traffic. The only compensation we have received for exercising such ex- pensive paternal care over Colombia is the guarantee that vessels flying our flag shall receive the same priv ileges in the ports of the isthmus as those allowed the vessels of Colon bia.

 By monorail express one could travel from Chicago to New York in eight hours; from Chicago to Milwau- lxee in 45 minutes; from Chicago to St. Louis in three hours. And what is quite as imporant, cars could be run at frequent intervals. An electric road has to have power distributed along it's entire line, and it would be nearly as cheap to run AS trains of one car each per day as 12 trains of four cars each. The only extra ex- pense would be the wages of a few extra motormen and conductors, a mere trifie in the operation of first class railroad.
 The monorail idea is based on cor rect principles, and that is why it will survive all attacks from interested sources, and monorail electric passen- ger service is an improvement that is bound to come, sooner rather than later.

 Feet Long" Under the Gaslight''
 will Be Presented Local Notes.
 Snake stories as told by some of the local experts in '.yarnism" are quite the thing. If any one has a new snake story they generally spring it and then duck for cover. The biggest story of the season is one told in Brides pool parlors last night concerning a knife maker who went berry picking along the Waterville mountains. This man, so the story goes. found on the rocks an immense snake skin some twenty-one feet in length supposed to have been shed by a mammoth reptile which has often terrorized the residents of Nova Scotia hill Bethlehem and Thomaston. The story sounds .sfishy' and when the lone berry picker un- dertook to carry the snake skin home to prove his statements he said that it fell to pieces owing to the heat of the sun. Next!
 Under the Gaslight" will be put on by the local dramatic association some time this winter.

Wa Ia Q mo foIIV. a and those who have. .inclinations toward the stage shouldn't hide their light under bushel. especially in their own town and among friends. Three or four amateur productions here this winter by local talent would meet with liberal patronage, and consequently financial success. Besides this it serves to make the winter months pass quicker, lessening the dullness and all around monotony.

Should the English line prove a success, however and there is no scientific reason why it should not-the world would have to adopt the monorail system for rapid passenger service, in spite of the croakings of the hidebound conserva- tives.

Just at present the two little South American states of Co., lombia and Venezuela happen to be in state bordering both on warfare and rebellion, and the government at Washington has dispatched several war vessels to the scene of the threat ened conflict for the purpose of pro- tecting the Panama railway and pre- venting any interruption of traffic. The United States is bound to per form police duty of this sort by the treaty of 1s4S, which not only pro- vides protection of the railway, but also protection oe the sovereignty of Colombia and neutrality of the isthmus.
