SINGLE PHASE ELECTRIC R4ILW4T.

From The Electrical World and Engineer.
At the recent meeting at Great Darlington of the
feature of the sessions was the announcement by
b j. Arnold of entirely original system OF SIN

every promise of commercial success We have
the pleasure of announcing that the Nesting-
house company has contracted for the equipment
of an important long interurban road with alter
mating currents. More than this 1t has developed
and will here install complete traction system Tor
BILE speed motors Heretofore in this country alter
mating poyphase currents have been used for trac-
converters. gaining thereby the power to use stan

safe TO say that they have been worked out in

4 LEGEND OF MARYLAND.
HOW INDIAN MA1DENs GRAVE Is MARKED on
EASTERN SHORE.

From The Sussex Countan-
a recent sale land in ''Indiantown.' across
the Pocomoke River from Snow lin. has brought
light a legend and accompanying superstition
which have been handed down from generation 10
generation OF the dweIIers in that neighborhood.
Where the road leading from Snow nm 70 SANS
bury is Joined by another which leads into the
depths of pine woods. stands what would seem
to d casual observer only an ordinary hruSh heap-
is a small mound, and beneath the mound lie the
whitened bones of the Indian maiden W aneIna.
who died by the hand OF her lover NaSpasSou
son of Waspa sson, the great hunter. OF the tribe
Of which WeatOmOtonles was queeIl-tle Neatotli-
onIes. who owned vast tracts of land from the Ind
ian River southwark and from the PocOmoke west
ward. The suitors for the hand or Wahema, II Is
said were many, and WaSpaSson, the son OF was
passon the friend of WeatOmOtoHleS was the one
TO whom the heart Of Wahema had gone forth;
but as has been the way OF maidens. both before
and since the day Of Wahema in pubic her race
was ayerted and in anger she named his name
dav as he stood In the twilight an arrow from
an unseen bow pierced her heart railing she
grasped a twig which broke in her hand With
strength that sometimes comes to the dying, she
pulled the arrow from the wound and the tWlg
fell across It, Thus she found They buried
her where she fell and the twtg that was across
by one the young and maidens OF the tribe
broke a twig and threw IL on the heap me Gus
tom was kept up by several generations OF Indians
until il became a superstition that to omit the
simple ceremony in passing meant lallurt !i
whatever might next be attempted, while faithful!
attention augured success. The legend ana the
superstition were handed down TO the white set
tiers and the custom has been kept by them and
their descendants to this day and thereby Ima G

to go down is attested by the fact that IN the

The continued fall and incurable huc-

last forced the government OF Mexico
to consider seriously the substitution of
the gold for the silver standard. There
are necessarily many practical Difficult
ties; but they are far less than those
involved in maintaining the single sill

the gold standard will greatly facilitate
international exchanges. and particu-
larry those between the United States
and Mexico.
