size Of railroad ties. The interest which
the British government Is taking in the
monorailway is understood when 1t is
stated that flying lines of railroad can
be built with great rapidity over UNI
even ground with but slight expendi-
ture of labor. BY the use of a specially
designed construction car it is conf
IDENTIFY stated that 1t will be possible
to construct this new type of railroad
fast enough to keep up with an army
on the march and supply it with all
requirements.
The bridges required for the use of
the monorailway are of the simplest
possible construction, single wire
hawser stretched across a ravine or
river being all that is necessary for
temporary work. These hawsers can
be built on the spot from separate wire
rope strands, and the lateral swaying
of such hawsers does not disturb the
balance of the car. In other cases a
bridge building of a single roll of piles
with rail on top suffices, or single
girder carrying the rail may be con-
veniently used.
Hotel on Rails Predicted.
The expenditure of fuel necessary to
operate the monorailway is very much
less than it is with an ordinary rail-
road. This fact is due to the absence of
fange friction on curves and to the
vehicles running without oscillation or
jolting. The absence of these same fac
tors makes an increase of 200 or 800
per cent in the speed of the train a
safe possibility. Consequently Mr..
Brennan confidently declares that his
dream Of a transcontinental railroad
furnished with travelling hotel hav-
ing rooms fifteen to twenty feet wide
and carrying passengers in perfect
comfort and safety at speed of 100
to $50 miles will surely be realized.

Hanainu Pictures.

Our sitting room wall was covered
with small framed pictures, and when
new paper had to be hung we were in
despair at the thought of removing
them. The difficulty of striking lath
with the picture hook was we'll known,
from experience To our clumsy expedi-
ent of measuring distances the paper
hanger offered a clever suggestion.
when the picture hook had been re-
moved he inserted in the hole a small
piece of wooden toothpick, which
pierced the damp paper as it was hung.
To remove the splinter and screw the
hook again into place was a simple
operation

There are about 100000 acres of
land in the Occur d'Alene reserva-
ton which is now being classified as
Agricultural and timber land. This
reservation is said to contain some
very fine agricultural land.
Lake Occur d'Alene is a beautiful
body of water about rs miles in

within the reservation. At the north
end of the lake is Occur d'Alene city,

is becoming very popular as a sum-
mer resort. Good fishing is to be had
and there are splendid bathing beaches
and opportunities for canoeing and
sailing.

Seven p. m.
Time said the short and thick-set
man casually, addressing no one in
particular.
He shut the lid of his watch with a
snap and returned the timepiece to
his waistcoat pocket. simultaneously
he surveyed both sides of the short
block between Seventh and ST. Mich
olas avenues with one comprehensive
glance.
Presumably he saw nothing of inter-
est to him. 1t was not a particularly
interesting block, for that matter
though somewhat typical of the neigh
borhood. The north side was lined
with five-story flat buildings, their
dingy-red brick facades regularly
broken by equally dingy brownstone
stoops, as to the ground floor, by open
windows as to those above. The south
side was mostly taken up by a tow
ering white apartment hotel with an
ostentatious entrance; against one of
whose polished stone pillars the short
and thick-set man was lounging.
The sidewalks, north and south,
swarmed with children of assorted
ages, playing with the ferocious en-
ergy characteristic of the young of
Harlem; their blood-curdling cries and
premature Fourth-of-July fireworks
created an appalling din, to which,
however, the more mature denizens
had apparently become callous, through
long endurance
Beyond the party-colored lights of a
drug store window on Seventh avenue,
the electric arcs were casting a sickly
radiance upon the dusty leaves of the
tree-lined drive. The avenue itself
was crowded with motor cars and
horse-drawn pleasure vehicles, mostly
bound uptown, their occupants seeking
the cooler airs and wider spaces to be
found beyond the Harlem river and
along the Speedway A few blocks to
TIE west Cathedral heights bulked like
a great wall, wrapped in purple shad-
ows, its jagged contour stark against
an evening sky of suave old rose.

ever, seemed to have no particular ap-
probation of the beauties of nature as
exhibited by West One Hundred and
Eighteenth street on a summers even

have desired a cooling breeze. FOR,
after a moments doubtful considera-
ton, he unbuttoned his waistcoat and

Then, carefully shifting the butt OF
a dead cigar from one corner of his
mouth to the other, where it was al
most hidden by the jutting thatch of
