Bailey first appeared in politics in
Texas rs Il delegate to congressional
convention. He, of course. spoke el0-
quently for his man. There was a
deadlock, and so great an impression
had Bailey made that some one pro
posed to nominate him, and II STAN
pede started in his favor. Bailey felt
in honor bound, however, 10 stand By
his candidate and tried to stem the
tide for himself, but all in vain. Final
ly an inspiration struck him. He an
nOunced that he had not reached the
constitutional age of twenty five, and
as Il result his name was dropped, and
the man he favored was nominated.
Bailey failed to say, however, that he
would have been twenty-five before he
would have had TO take his seat, if
elected.

USES SINGLE RAIL
OuelIing Gravitation Solves the
Problem Of Cheaper Land
Transportation.
SPINNING TOP THE PRINCIPLE
Louis Brennan Shows How Automatic
ally Balanced Cars Can Gross
Rivers on Steel HaWsers.

Railroad men in New York We're
greatly interested the other day in the
news from London of the announce
mcnt before the Royal society and sci
entific men of Louis Brennan's mono
rail invention. says the New York
Evening World. 1t is said that he has
solved the problem of the one rail
road, and q recent demonstration be-
fore the Royal society astounded his
audience with The feats OF a little
model car which he has built.
He claims for his system that it will
enable a train to race along at ire
mendous speed on n single rail: that
the cars may be thirty or even forty
feet in width; that practically all fric-
ton will be done away with, so that a
mere fraction of the power used by To-
comOtives today will propel his trains;
that roads may he laid as rapidly as
an army ON the march can travel, and
that passengers can be carried more
safely than i'll the cars built upon mod
els now in use.
Automatic stability mechanism is the
secret Mr.. Brennan, who is the in
ventor of the Brennan torpedo, has in
his thirty years he has applied to the
task succeeded in successfully working
out. The principal is simple, being
that of the spinning top, yet it seems
to the observer that his car acts coun-
ter to the laws of gravitatiOn.
At the exhibition he used a very
small model, but sufficiently large to
show how 4 car of any size will work.
He caused 1t to run on IL narrow rail
about the big hall Of the society at full
speed. Sometimes the little vehicle
was filed with ballast carelessly
thrown III, and at other times it ran

Statue In Memory of a Battle.

"The battle of Princeton will soon be
appropriately commemorated by the
erection of a statue which is to cost
$4,000" said Representative Ira W
Wood of the Fourth New Jersey dis
trict at the New willard in Washing
ton recently to reporter of the Wash
ington Post. AT the last session of
congress $4,000 was appropriated for
the statue. The state has already Civ
ell like amount, and. in addition, the
citizens OF Princeton will give $4,000.
The statue. which will be one of the
finest in the country. will not be erect
ed on the battlefield itself. but In the

SURPRISE FOR JAPANESE.
Omaha's Cowboy Mayor Frightened
Oriental Visitors by Lassoing Them.

Omahas Cowboy Mayor FrIghteneo
Oriental Visitors by Lassoing Them.
1t came to light recently that James
Dahlman. the cowboy mayor of Oma-
ha. "roped" NJ. Takagi and NJ. OGiko,
editors of the Law Journal of Tokyo.
who are studying Jurisprudence in the
United States and who stopped over in
Omaha for Il day and were entertain
ed by distinguished citizens, says an
Omaha special dispatch to the New
York Times.
The Japanese had heard that Mayor
Dahlnan had been Il COW punchcr on
the western plains. They asked him
about it. and for answer the mayor
picked up Il rope. and before his Wis
itOrS knew what had happened he had
stepped across the room and thrown
it over the head of NJ. Takagi, imme-
diately afterward picking up another
one and lassong NJ. OgikO.
The japanese did not know anything
about rOping cattle. and the mayors
stunt not only aStoniShed, but fright
ened them, causing them tn jump to
their feet their faces pale, and cry out
Their fears were dispelled when the
mayor laughed heartily and took the
ropes off their neckS.
"Do you iasso people and tie them
down when they break your laws?"
asked NJ. Ogiko.
"No; we only lasSo cattle" said the
mayor. and then he told them all about
roping steers, much to their delight.

empty. IN every case ii rolled smooth
ly and never left the track.
Mr. Brennan says of his invention,
or discovery, that cars may soon be
carrying loads ten or even twenty
times rs heavy as those now drawn
with power very much less. The vehi-
Giles may be made practically any
width. A veritable hotel may be put
on the rail as sleeping car.
THE stability mechanism" Mr.. Bren-
nan says, ''is carried by the car and
enables il to turn the sharpest curves.
If all the load of the car is suddenly
shifted to one side the mechanism will
correctly and instantly readjust the
strain and keep the car level. The
mechanism essentially consists of two
flywheelS driven by electric motors In
opposite directions, so that the gyro-
static action and stored up energy may
be utilized. The wheels are mounted
on the highest class of bearings and
are incased in exhausted chambers so
that journal and air friction is reduced
TO the minimum.
Run Hours After Power is stopped.
The wheels will continue to run two
or three hours after the power is cut
off, so great is the energy stored up in
them. They will not entirely stop for
two or three days. The mechanism oc-
cupieS but little space in the car. The
wheels on which the car runs are
placed in row underneath the center
OF the vehicle instead of at the sides as
in the present day trains, and are car
ried on bOgieS or compound bogies,
which are not only pivotCd to provide
for horizontal curves on the track, but
Cor vertical curves also.
by this means there IS no ordinary
curve that the car cannot with case
turn even at high speed without dan
ger of leaving the track. We will ut
first use electric motors to run the sta
bility mechanism, but any Lind of
pOwer-gasoline. steam or what not
may be employed. The train will he
ever ready for instant use. as the cost
The gear can quickly be changed when
steep hills are to be mounted.
There is practically no limit to the
| speed which can be attained. l think
| the invention means Il wonderful say
| ing in power, greater carrying capacity
Of cars and an improvement in trans
| pOrtatiOn all around, which will be the
wonder of the world
The war department controls Mr.
Brennan'S invention and has succeeded
| in keeping tho secret Of its mechanism
| from all eyes. The rails which will lie
used need only to be of the same
! weight and size as rails on two raj
| tracks in order to carry the same
| weight of train, Mr.. Brennan explains
| Building cars will he manufactured, II
! is said, which will enable an army tC
| lay tracks as the car moves ahead and
move right on on the rail last laid. IL
this way an army may be transported
anywhere with great rapidity.
Mr.. Brennan's confident dream is 6
transCOntinental line. furnished with {
travelling hotel, with rooms fifteen t
twenty feet wide. that will carry pas
! sengers in perfect comfort and safety
at Il speed of 100 to $50 miles an hour.
