A ROLLING ROADWAY
NEW DEVICE NOW IN OPERA
TON IN CLEVELAND.
The Novel Invention Is an Endless
Belt by Which People and Teams
Are Carried Up Steep
Grades.

Cleveland, Ga novel and important
tnvention-the first rolling roadway
ever bui1t-has recently been completed
and placed in operation in Cleveland.
BY means of it teams with heavy loads
are carried up a 20 per cent. grade-for
ward 420 feet and upward IS feet in four
minutes or less. Numerous representa-
tives from other cities and even from
Europe, interested in the various prob
lens of transportation, have watched
its operations with interest.
In Cleveland, as in many other cities.
the wagon route for a large volume Of
heavy traffic is necessarily up several
steep grades. The city proper is on an
elevation and the docks and several Of
the principal railroad depots are at the
foot OF long inclines, over which several
streets lead. On Factory street the site
of the first roadway, the incline for
raany years has been traversed by heay-
i,y laden teams which climbed the
grade at a snail's pace and with great
difficulty At the same time it has never
heen possible to haul nearly as heavy
loads up this incline as could be hauled
were the, start made from the top of the
hill
Under the new regime the team draws
it's load to the foot Of the rolling road
way AMI is carried to the top without
any effort on the part Of the horses. IN
addition to the saving Of labor on the
part Of the horses and the saving Of time
to the owner of the vehicle it is believed
that there viii be a noticeable saving in
blacksaiths' bills. The loads hauled in
this manner are fully equal to those
possible upon level road. Horses soon
become used to this Invention, in fact
few OF them frighten even on the first
trip.
The rolling roadway is a great end

He Went to st. Petersburg in August,
1899, to return the visit of Count Mura-

Russian capital was to strengthen the

ANTHRAX FROM HORSE HAIR
Worker in This Line Contracts This
Disease While sorting-Conta-

Philadelphia. Pa.-Suffering from
anthrax, deadly disease common
among animals, Isaac Goldberg Of SCI
Race street was admitted to the Jew
ish hospital
Goldberg had been under treatment
for several days by his physician who
failed to discover the nature Of the
malady. He suspected it might be af
a contagious character and sent the
man to the Jewish hospital, where
there is an isolation ward. If. Max

Goldberg is employed to sort horse
hair and, it is believed. contracted the
disease at work. Anthrax is usually

beings that its treatment is a matter

tons. It is the invention Of Gel. Isaac
d. Smead Of Cincinnati. who worked
nearly three years On the drawings be-
fore they were even seen by others. The
rolling roadway is considered a Won
derful piece of engineering. About four
months are required to build such a
roadway.
At the top Of the hill there is a small
tower. It is from this point that the
electric power is applied. When the
wagons have been cIamped to the road
way at the start. the man in the tower IS
notified by means Of an electric signal.
and the roadway begins to move at the
rate of some four miles an hour Once
at the top of the hill and upon the level,
the machinery stops and the clamps
holding the wagons are. loosened. Ten
vehicles can be placed upon the roadway
at one time, The daily capacity is about
600 vehicles. A toll Of from 10 to %
cents is charged, dependent upon the
weight Of the load. For loot passengers
two cents toll is charged.
Since the completion of this roadway,
the railroads in the vicinity have be-
gun the erection Of large warehouse.
and are planning to put in additional
team tracks. The activities in that
locality have more than doubled.
Another roadway Of this kind is to be
built in the same city, at Mandrake
street, at a cost OF 100000. While the
first one is built along the grade of the
hill, this one will be suspended in the
air The street will be extended by the
building of an iron bridge and the roll
ing roadway will be at q right angle to
this extension. There will be substan-
tial iron supports 66 feet high and II
feet apart under the viaduet, and the
supports Of the roadway will be the
same distance apart.

ECONOMICAL MARKETING.

there is quick and constant renewing

few which do not deteriorate by keep

The Illinois Monthly Magazine, corr

1880. has this to say Of the bell:
During the last month the town Oh
Vandalia received a valuable aequisi-

The bell was presented to the Presby-
terrain congregation of Vandalia BIZ

Miss Illinois Riggs This bell was
hung November 5, 1880, and announced
its own arrival in joyous tone. This
event is interesting. inasmuch as it il
the first public bell introduced into the
state by American Inhabitants. The
French had one or more bells in thei1
villages on the Mississippi. but the
public buildings erected by the Ameri-
can settlers have been entirely desti.

For several years the bell has been
used by the Fall Methodist church OF

tire confidence of the leading Chinese
officials. Mr. Rockhill will enter upon
his work under the most advantageous
conditions.
The new minister is charged with
the duty of interpreting to President
Roosevelt and Secretary Hay the poll
cies of China and the European powers
and also of explaining to China the
attitude of our nation. Most important
of all is his task of promoting the COM
mercial interests of the United States
in that country and in advising China
of the path she must follow in order
to recover Manchuria from either Rus
STA or Japan and maintain her terri
tory intact.
Mr. Rockhi11's interest in oriental
countries and their affairs began in
1884, when he became second seere-
tary Of the Picking legation. He re-
NAMED in Picking until 1885, when he
became charge d'affaires in Korea. Be-
tween 1883 and 1892 he made two
journeys OF exploration in China, Mon
golia and Thibet. President Mckinley
recognized his expert knowledge IN
1900 when he appointed him special
commissioner to China. While away
from the orient as assistant secretary
of state at Washington. minister to
Greece and director of the bureau of
American republics, he has continued
adding to his store of knowledge OF
the orient, and has written number
of books and many magazine articles
on various branches of his fayorite

poison our blood. It has often been said
that evil thoughts are poisonous, the
meaning being that they corrupt other
people, but the real fact is that they poi

of ourselves and indulging IN anger, b5

pose, has been dubbed the gold plant
by the native planters, because it il
one OF the chief sources of wealth OF
the peninsula. 1t grows Iuxuriantly
under the most adverse circumstances
and thrives in a marvellous way WheI
given the assistance of modern cult1-
walton. It is a plant that was Wor-
SHIPPED as divine by the ignoran:
natives there many generations ago
because it was able to grow in soil
where no other vegetation would thrive
and often was found solidly established
and thriving on a pile of stones O..
gravel. To the ignorant mind of the
original native, the development of tbs
towering plant from a pile of stone was
proof positive of its divine origin, and
even now there are many henequin
worshipers there.
The plant is a cousin to the aloe Oh
century plant. It grows. large num-
Der of thick, broad and heavy leaves
which are mass of stout fbers laid
parallel, like the fiber in a stalk OF
celery, only much closer, much longer
and stronger. The profit from the
plant is made by extracting these
fbers, drying them and manufacturing
them into Irvine, this production
taking the place Of manila hemp in
the manufacture Of everything in the
twlne class, from the ordinary Irvine
used on the American harvesters to
the stout hawser on board the harbor
tugs and the ocean liners. No other
plant yet found produces such large
quantities Of the fiber.
The cultivation of the plant is hot a

being imported to this country as far
back as 1860. In that year the i'm
portation amounted to 1888 bales. The
demand for Irvine and eordage ana

stimulus to the importation and the
records Of the revenue Office show that
