JUDGED BY THE PULSE.
Bicycle Cop with Medical Training
Brinqs Speeders to Terms.

DIIuSS PPSSSS'S ~ 'S''S'
Out in-well, it is best not to say
where To tell all would break the
spell. But-out in Blank county, a
young doctor got tired of his profess
sion and became a bicycle policeman,
riding splitting devil'' capable Of
making So miles an hour.
He learned years ago at the quiz"
that great speed makes the pulse beat
faster. He now applies that little
atom of knowledge practically.
You know as rule the automobilist
casts cold water on the statement of a
policeman that he was arrested for
speeding. If the officer says 80 miles
an hour" the owner and chauffeur con-
fess to eight miles an hour, and
prove" It. A lecture from the magis-
trate, nominal fine and an honorable
discharge.
Our young doctor now tries the
pulse test, and is meeting with much
success.
A few days ago a speeder was
placed under arrest. When his ma
chine was stopped the doctor-cop

New York.-A young mechanical en-
gincer, for a little more than three
years, has been mystifying and anus
ing persons living near his fathers
home at Windsor Hill, just outside OF
Baltimore, by his experiments with a
single rail railroad that he has con-
structed.
Recently all the newspapers in the
city contained the authoritative an
nouncement that John H. Starin, who
has made millions in transportation
enterprises; Charles Stewart Smith
and Woodbury. Langdon, all members
of the Rapid Transit commission, were
to back a company which will build
this young engineers single rail rail-
road from Jersey City to Newark.
Formal announcement of the incor-
poration of the new "mono-rOad' COM
pany is expected soon to be made in
Trenton. and this, it is announced, is
to be followed in the next four or five
weeks by the announcement of a deal
by which the new company has ac'
Ouired a franchise and terminal sites
in the two cities-rights presumably
owned by some existing company. In
side of a year, it is promised, mono
rail trains will be skimming across
the marshes from Jersey City to New
ark, realizing the newest slogan in
modern rapid transit
ITO Newark in ten minutes"
Idea Is Revolutionary.
If what the young Baltimore en-
gineer confidently claims for his
"monO-road" be true-and he has con
vinced such hard-headed business mer
as Starin. Langdon and Smith that il
is true-modern railroading will be
revolutionized by his invention. II
will relegate to the scrap heap the
two-traCk railroad, the pOnderous, coal
eating locomotive and the big, heavy
eight-wheeled cars along with the
stage coach and the paddle-wheeleC
steamboat. His new invention, if his
claims are we'll founded, is as fal
ahead of the locomotive-drawn train
running on two tracks, as the tlyins
machine is ahead of the balloon.
That trains will run easily at {
speed of $50 miles an hour on a single
rail in perfect safety, without vibra
tion and the swinging side-wise mo
tion of the present day railroad trains
and that tracks and cars can be bull
and operated at less than half the cos

all home resources can only be
brought about by cooperation of
the people. Every land owner and

TotaI Abstinence in Denmark.

In Denmark there are at present
IA total abstinence associations, rep
resenting a membership of 122,207 per-
sons. The growth of the temperance
sentiment throughout the land is
shown in the increase of 21,757 men,
bers in these societies during the
past two years. No less than 38,SS4
members are enrolled in one of the
orders alone.

of the present equipment-this, in
brief, is the young engineers claim.
That he can do what he says is not
only believed by practical transpor-
tation man Of 40 years experience
like John H. Starin but by a big firm
in Wall street which has agreed to un-
derwrite all the bonds required to put
through the Jersey City to Newark

who have Investigated the new plant
and are anxious to become financially
interested in it.
First Practical Test.
Starting on a short half-mile stretch
of track inside the exposition grounds
at jamestown, the first practical test
of the new road was made in public,
although for three years the young in
ventor Howard Hansel Tunis, has
been experimenting in the suburbs of
Baltimore.
More than a dozen noted engineers,
among them Chief Engineer George S.
Rice, of the Rapid Transit commission,

POSTPONE Their Convention.

The Christian Endeavorers are ac-
lively planning for a great assembly
at Seattle in July, but the board Of
control of the Epworth league has
just decided that it would be better
not to try to hold the convention Of
their societies which would in the reg
ular order fall this year. The vote
of the board is to hold national con-
ventions quadrennially hereafter;
therefore the leagues next gathering
will occur in 1909.

The remark of Prof. Agassiz carries
great weight in a discussion Of the
problem of missions: Few are aware
how much we owe to missionaries

To build a four-track elevated road,
similar to the present elevated system
in this city, would cost 100000 per
mile. This does not include the cost
of power or equipment-only the
structure and tracks.
The projectors of the new enter
prise figure upon building the eight
miles of elevated track between Jer-
sey City and Newark for $2,000,O 900.
To build the ordinary type of elevated
road, with four tracks, would cost be-
tween $7,OOO,OOO and $SOOO,OOO. 1t
is this cheapness of cost which In
spires the hackers of the enterprise
to hope that they will reap tremen-
dous profits, and that the success of
this initial road between the two Jer.
sey cities will be followed quickly by

Much Interest Aroused.

How active interest in "mono-rail"
railroads is, is shown by the fact that
following the announcement of the
plans to build the New Jersey line,
the promoters of the company have
been besieged with inquiries from per-
sons who want to introduce the sys-

Construction Details.
The single track is laid across ties
about three and half feet in length
the same sort of ties used in tire
construction of the present day two
rail tracks, except that they are short
er. SiXty-pound rails instead of the
standard 100-pound rails are used.
Overhead, 80 inches apart, are sus-
pended two parallel rails, L-shaped
on the inside. These overhead rails
are supported by steel pillars placed
at intervals along the side of the road
and connected by steel beams
stretched across the track.
On top of each car at both ends is
attached an inverted truck. This is
raised from the car by a strong steel
arm, corresponding to trolley pole,
and the four wheels attached to the
inverted truck fit into the "L"-shaped
inner surface of the overhead tracks

he says the California delegation feels

self, Hayes said: II have no fear OF
