The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of SOS 900 for the
installation OF the most modern and Ell
hcient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t il known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. The line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, distance Of 81
miles, is to be equipped at once. For
the first 80 miles, the signals viii be put
two-thirds of mile apart; for the rest
of the distance, about one and one-third
miles apart 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
Will be located at Rutherford Junction,
Ridgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is a tower. with signals operated by a
towerman, has been used as block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install! an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will be
extended over the entire line in the future

A SPEEDY MoNocYcLE.
Wheel Nine Feet in Diameter Which
Is the Invention of an Fastener
Great Things Claimed for It.

A motor monocycle of strange de-
sign and for which great things are
claimed has been invented by Oswald
Jensen, of New York.
In appearance this travelling ma
chine is unlike any other vehicle in
use to-day. Within huge wheel with
pneumatic tire is suspended seat on
which the driver rides. The machine
is not a loop-the-loop affair, as one
viewing the pictures Of it might sup
pose, the rider being always in an up
right position.
The advantages claimed for this
queer motor carriage by its inventor
are many. 1t offers not only a new
and easy method of rapid speeding
overland, but it opens avenues of trav-
ell that are closed to all other styles
of vehicles in it's ability to move over
rough, sandy and rocky country. 1T
bounds over rocks and other obsta-
cles," declares it's inventor, with as
much ease as horse trained to jump
1t requires neither road nor rail- but
travels crOSs-cOuntry, over fields and
meadows climbing hills and bounding
over bitches and other irregularities
of the land formerly considered insur-
mountable barriers even to the speed
capacity of an express train-a mile a
minute. ,
In addition to the one large wheel
upon which it travels, the monocycle
has two auxiliary wheels, which can
be extended to the ground or drawn
within the large wheel, as may be
desired
The main wheel is nine feet in di-
rim five inches wide, fitted with a
pneumatic tire.
The rider sits within this wheel
upon a movable seat, which, in being
operated toward either side, causes
the wheel to be steered and balanced.
The upright position of the motor
and rider is maintained by means of
eight small wheels which travel upon
tracks fixed upon the>inner side of the
main rim. While these wheels rem
der the position of the motor, frame
and seat Independent of the rotary
movement of the rim the seat also
retains a vertical position independent
Of the frame. To produce this effect
the seat is suspended between two
standards, which in turn slide lateral
| Iy across the motor casing.
| When travelling at, leisure along
country roads the rider extends the
auxiliary wheels toward the rear on
each side of the main wheel, thus con-
verting the machine into a tricycle.,
but when it is desired to attain high
speed or to cross uneven country he
draws them within the large wheel
and rides upon a single tire.
The auxiliary wheels can also be ex-
tended so as to form three wheels
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1905-10-04

abreast, in which position they are
| mainly intended to serve as stays to
hold the vehicle in an upright position
when at rest.
When in motion the monocycle is
balanced and steered with a lever on
the right, which in being operated
moves the seat laterally of the frame,
resulting in an unequal distribution
of weight which causes the wheel to
swerve in one direction or the other,
| changing its course or maintaining it's
equilibrium as may be desired.
When at rest or when travelling
steadily over even ground the motor
| occupies a position in the lower por-
ton Of the frame, but when the power
is applied the motor moves forward
and upward in proportion to the re-
sistance encountered The seat also
rises, but in a lesser degree and it
holds its vertical position by Swinging
| in the standards.
The tractive effect, being thus Sc
cured by the rising movement of the
weight within, enables the wheel to
travel over any surface however
smooth without slipping and to climb
grades which no other machine can
overcome.
The monocycle differs from other
motor-driven vehicles in that it does
not draw upon the ground to produce
the tractive effect, but tumbles for
ward with continuous falling motion.
applying new surfaces of the tire to
new surfaces Of the ground without
relying upon the stability of the latter
for maintenance of motion.
1t thus has the distinction of being
the only machine which successfully
travels on loose sand and therefore the
first practical substitute for the an
clent ship of the desert-the camel.
Its adaptability for travelling over
ice and snow might also render Mr..
Jansen's invention a valuable auxiIi.
airy for the artic explorer.

CHRONIC ERYSIPELAS
Cured by Or. Williams Pink Pills,
Although Whole Body was

Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is a

of the burning, the pain and the dis

The case which follows will be read

In severity. After being two months un-

THE SUMERIAN KING DAVID
Statue Recently Unearthed Is Fully
1890 Years Earlier Than Any
Other Previously Found.

The white marble statue of the SUI
merriam King David was discovered by
the expedition of the University Of
chicago while excavating at the cor
ner or the ancient temple hill at the
ruin known as Bismya, in central
Babylonia, writes Edgar James Banks,
field director of the Babylonian ex-
petition OF the University of Chicago,
in the Scientific American. Despite
the discoveries of the fine old crema-
forum, the first that has come to
light, and of the use of the arch in
Babylonia as early as 1000 B. c., the
finding of this ancient work of almost
prehistoric art is one of the most in
tereSting results of the expedition.
When found it was lying upon it's
back, its head was missing, and the
toes, which were broken from the feet,
at the time of its fall from the plat
form above, were lying just beneath it.
The head was later recovered from an
other part of the ruin. In places, es-

this cutlery, the lamb would stand on
his hind legs at one window after an
ether. placing his fore feet on the sill:

tress. Sometimes he would come to
the door, and hammer at it with his
fore feet. and if no one paid any atten

the door with all his might, making
noise which never failed to attract
attention. Finally, if all his antics
went unheeded he would bound angri-

feet together and brought them down
at once, with all the vigor of his now

WILLIE The LAMB
INTERESTING CAREER OF THE
PET OF THE NATURALIST.
From Delicate Babyhood He De
velops Into Healthy Creature of
Independent Ways and Some
Affection-Eis Mistress.

1t is seldom that l have had either
the time or the inclination to study
domestic animals, lease of all have
ever desired to emulate Mary, whose
historic pet was long since converted
into mutton. However, there are some
things in this world which we get
whether We want them or not; some
times it's measles-sOmetimey it's a
lamb.
Willie arrived with bad cold, and,
In spite of the fact that we were con-
tinually picking out warm corners for
him and feeding him on the warmest
milk he would drink, for long time
the little fellow appeared as one be-
loved of the gods. He would lie down
with closed eyes for hours at time.
to get up at last and wander aimlessly
about, only to lie down a little later.
When he first came, he would tarle a
good deal of warm milk, but the
amount fell Off until he would hardly
take any. He just shifted it, shook his
head and turned away.
Even as early as this, We discovered
that Willie had mind of his own. Ii
he DIDN'T want thing. he knew it,
and, unlike many other animals have
seen, he could not be coaxed into TAX
ing it. If he took a drink of milk, all
right; but if he once turned up his
nose at it, one might just as we'll let
him alone, for he wouldn't touch an
other drop if it was kept in front OF
him ali day. He became so thin and
weak that he seemed in constant dan
ger Of falling over his own shadow
Why he didn't die, no one has yet ex,
planned; but perhaps it was because
about this time he began to nibble a
few blades of grass-enough probably,
to keep the spark of life in his skinny
little body. Gradually, he paid moro
and more attention to grass and be-
fore long he was busy almost the
whole day long, sauntering about the
garden and along the roadsides, pick
ing out the choicest bits he could find
