1t is this overhead truck arrange
ment which constitutes the distinctive
feature of the invention of the young
Baltimore man, and marks its greatest
difference from the other ''mono-rair

er is also transmitted from these over

One of the claims made for the
Tunis "mono-rail" is that trains run
ming on it will be practically nOiseless.
One reason given for this is that the
guide wheels on top, which run in the
overhead rails, are of cast iron, oak
and leather and are so constructed as
to make but little noise. They also
have ball-bearings and this makes tre-
mendous speed possible. The guide
wheels are only eight inches in
diameter and less than two inches
thick. Another feature of the car
which contributes to its noiselessness
is the use of the direct current motor,

Small manufacturing plants are de-
sirable factors in the business of any
town. There must be employment
for the residents of a city or town,
and any means of supplying this need
is commendable. But there is one

into consideration, and that is, it is
better for the citizens of a town to
build up industries already establish.

roll of perhaps $35 or $40 day. The
value of its products may amount to
$4,000 or $4,000 annually, all de-
pendent upon the character of the
business. But what is most consid-
cred is the payroll. From the aver
age small town it is estimated that
trade lost, and which goes to large cit
les through the mails, is more than
$1OO day. If citizens of a commu-
nifty would retain this $100 day and
do their trading in the home town, it
is evident that it would be twice as
beneficial as the small factory that
has a payroll of $40 or $50 daily.

TEN in other places. One inquirer
was capitalist who holds the con-
cession for a 400-mile railroad in
South America, much of the route of
which runs through inaccessible coun-
try. The Tunis "mono-raiP is es-
pecially adapted for use in a rough
country because of the fact that the
lightness of the cars makes it possible
to operate the trains up almost any
reasonable grade.
To all these inquirers the promo
ters say they have replied that they
are not in the field for the exploita-
ton of the new system, or even for
money making. Mr.. Starin, the leader
in the enterprise, has announced that
his object is not to make money so
much as to put into practical use an
invention which he believes to be the

Manufacturers and the Drink EviI

An added evidence of the baneful in
fluence of drink on manufacturing in
terests, has recently been given in
protest from the glass manufacturers
of Alexandria, Ind, against drinking
resorts in the neighborhood of their
plants. Two enterprises, giving en-
ployment to more than 1000 people,
and representing the industrial main
stays of the city, have notified the
council that they will make no further

DEVIL AN EXPENSIVE MASTER.
Cost Of Crime and Its Cure in the
United States Compared.

The chaplain of the Evangelical
Prison society of New York, Rev.
John ]. Munro, has compiled some
astonishing figures as to the cost Of
crime in the United States, and pub
fishes them in Harper's Weekly. He
calculates that in the whole country
the total annual expense of maintain
ing police forces, criminal courts and
prisons is approximately $750,000, 900.
The yearly loss occasioned by crimes
against property appears to be above
$150,000,0 900. If to this is added the
loss of wages suffered by persons con-
fined in prison, the grand total Of
crime cost every year in America
would reach the stupendous sum Of
$1,076, 100000, which is tax of
more than one per cent. upon the ag-
gregate wealth of the nation. Con-
trasted with this, all the moral cura-
tive agencies in the country, including
churches, schools, hospitals and hu-
manitarian social work, cost only
$3.50 100000 year. From the most
calculating material standpoint econ.
omy would appear to demand a larger
outlay for religious and sociological
reform work in order to abridge this
crime waste

proper system of railroad construc-
ton is the single track, because the
double tracks are in opposition to the
laws of gravity, and make necessary
tremendously heavy cars.
In his cars, Tunis explains, the bot
tom will be but 20 inches above the
rail, and thus the center of gravity
will be very low. The cars will have
an almost perfect equilibrium, even
without being steadied by the over
head arrangement.
Economy in Operation.
Still another claim for the mono-rail
trains is that they can be operated
very much cheaper because of the
economy in power it is possible to
realize. According to railroad men,
from Is to 80 per cent. of the power
| used to operate trains is lost in the
sidewise, swinging motion of cars.
The Tunis mono-rail trains, it is de-
clared, have a straight ahead motion,
without any side-swing.
Nothing which ever moved on
wheels can equal the speed claimed
for the Tuais "mono-raip' trains. One
hundred miles an hour is an easy mat.
ter, and the cars can be pushed to $50
miles without any difficulty. And
while the cars are going at this speed
it is claimed that the motion is SO
gentle that passengers are barely
aware of the fact that they are NOV
ing. The jerky, swinging motion OF
two-yail trains is declared to be en-
tirely absent.
AS if all this were not enough tC
complete the eclipse Of the present
system of railroad construction and
establish the "mono-rail" as pre-em
inent, still another tremendous ad
vantage is claimed, and this is the
most important of all-the matter OF
cost. "
1t is the cheapness of the cost Of
the system, which, if it is what is
claimed for it, threatens to revolu
tionize railroad construction.

A1sINTHE DRINKING.
Attempts to Stem Curse of the French
Nation.

misunderstanding has frequently
been characterized as the curse OF
modern France. Absinthe, which IS
distilled from alcohol in which worm
wood leaves have been crushed, is
peculiarly destructive drink. Its ell
fects are so much worse than those OF
any other alcoholic beverage that
commission was appointed some time
ago to recommend some way of check
ing the ravages of the habit. The
committee has recommended that the
manufacture of absinthe shall cease in
a year, and that after two years its
sale shall be forbidden. This report
has been adopted by the committee
on hygiene of the chamber of depu-
ties and reported to the chamber. 1t
does not yet appear whether the ma
ton is sufficiently reused to the evil
to make certain the passage of the
necessary law. The absinthe habit has
a curious origin. The French soldiers
in Algiers during the war of 1S44-7
were advised to mix wormwood with
their wine to prevent or cure the
fevers to which they we're liable in
northern Africa. On their return to
France they continued to put the
wormwood in their wine, and intro
duced the drink to their friends, and
soon the distillers put on the market
what is now known as absinthe, with
the bitter taste of the wormwood dis
guised by anise.

schemes 70 Defraud.

One of the latest plans of travelling
agents to defraud the people residing
in the country is the wire fence deal
Lately number of travelling agents
have been working in different west
ern states. They represent to the
farmer that they will install an eight
strand wire fence with iron posts
for only eight cents a foot. No money
is asked in advance, but a promisory
note is, given that upon the compile
tion of the fence the same will be
paid for at the agreed price per foot.
After the fence is put in position the
farmer finds that his note has been
placed in the local bank for collection.
and that instead of he securing his
fence for eight cents per foot, It is
eight cents "per wire foot" which
makes it GA cents per foot. This is
purely a modification of the old light,
ming rod swindle. 1t hardly ever pays
the farmer to have dealings with trav.
cling agents who make extraordinary
promises as to the goods they have
to dispose OF. h'

Easy to Lay Tracks.
According to an interview printed
in the Newark newspapers, the linking
of the new ''mono-rail' line with the
McAdoo tunnel is a possibility. Bion
l.. Burrows says that it would be a
matter of the greatest ease to run the
trains from the "mono-rail' road right
into and through the McAdoo tunnel
without interfering with the operation
of trains over the two rail line. All
that would be necessary would be the
laying of a single rail between the two
rails, and the installation of the neces-
sary overhead rails to preserve the
equilibrium of the "mono-rair' trains
If this is done, it is asserted, pas
sengers can be carried from Newark
to the heart of Manhattan in ten min
utes. That he Is willing to enter into
an operating agreement with the
mono-rail' company, William Nc
Adoo, head of the tunnel company, is
quoted as saying.
This new "mono-rai" system in.
vented by the young Baltimorian, is
totally different from the various other
''mono-rail' systems, some of which
are in practical operation in England,
Ireland, Germany and Austria-Hun-
gary, and others of which are seeking
foothold. 1t is entirely unlike the
system, for instance, for which F. B.
Behr, an Englishman, has been seek
ing a franchise between Atlantic
Ferry, Brooklyn and Coney island. On
MI Behr's road the cars "straddle" a
single triangular rail. In Germany
the "mono-rail' system which has
been successfully operated is one from
which the cars hang suspended. In
Ireland there is a system in operation
very similar to the Behr system.
