Being Replaced BY Mounted Riflmsn
All Over fha World.


All Over the World.
The statistics Of the medical and
surgical history Of the civil war show
very small percentage of sabre
wounds or Of bayonet wounds, which
shows that the infantry seldom came
into contact close enough to permit the
use Of the bayonet. and that when the
cavalry did come into close contact
the revolver, rather than the sabre,
was the weapon on both sides. Eu-
rope, that refused to be taught by the
lesson, of our civil war that cavalry
was obsolete; Europe that persisted In
charging as Murat charged infantry
with cavalry, has at last been cen
verted by the Boer war to a clear an
derstandng not only that cavalry
must be replaced by mounted ridemen
but that mounted rlhemen must com
/ pose the larger part Of an army oper-
/ atlng in the open field.
AS for the use Of automobiles, bi.
cycles, and motorcycles in war to re-
place the use Of the horse, Il may be
/ practicable in a very old country like
Europe, but in new country like the
| United States there Is a vast deal Of
territory where neither the bicycle
nor the automobile could take the
place OF the mounted man. There Is
some territory which a mounted man
could not traverse as swiftly and safe
ly as a man on foot, but over this ter
ritory a bicycle could not go, and
there are a good many brldlepaths
over which a bicycle OF an automobile
could not pass, In a very rough coun-
try, II the bicycle and automobile be-
came badly shattered at a critical
time, It would be awkward for the
army that trusted to their speed as
transmlttsrs Of intelligence and as a
means OF transportation. OF course,
IN an old level country traversed by
fine roads, as are Germany and
France, great use could be made Of
bicycles and automobiles, but in a
rough, new country like the United
States they could hardly be made to
replace the horse-Portland Oregon

southport has produced novelty In
the way of trans. The last penny-in-
the-slot invention is a tramcar. which
will commence shortly to run a regu-
lar service between Southport and
Birkdale Lancashire and Yorkshire
Railway station. 1t is named a "one-
man" car because It can be worked
by the driver unassisted. Passengers
enter by the front platform and place
a penny in the slot. when the
driver lifts up brass bar and
allows the person to pass through.
This action temporarily cuts off the
electric current and stops the car,
which Is reversible. The demi-car is
the first Of its kind that has been pro-
duced In this or any other country. 1t
carries half the load at half the cost
of an ordinary car. One man is able
to fulfil the duties Of both driver and
conductor with perfect safety to the
public. By an ingenious arrangement
Of the electrical gear the car can be
controlled and stopped without the
application of the brake. There is &C.
eommodation for fourteen passengers
in the body Of the car. while six seats
are provided for smokers-three at
each end. The cost OF working Is esti-
mated at 2 lid. per mile, which will
show a profit with only four pas
sengers.--St. James's Gazette.
