FEWER IN STATE
E,re Marshall's Annual Report In
dicatcs That Fires are Fewer
and Less Property Lost.

State Fire Marshal Craft OF this
city has just completed his annual re-
port for the business of his office for
the fiscal year, and it shows that the
position of fire marshall has had a
good effect in doing away with fires
Eof an incendiary nature. The fire
marshal has Investigated six different
fires of an incendiary nature, and in
five of them was able to secure a
conviction, the most notable of which
was the arrest of four young men at
Canton, who set fire to a number of
buildings. The local authorities at
Canton succeeded in effeeting the ar
rest and they finally pleaded guilty
and were sentenced to four years in
the penitentiary. Six prairie fires
have come under the notice of the
fire chief, and in every instance the
violator of the state law was found
guilty and was forced to pay a fine.
1t is the aim of the department to
make the law effective as a preven~
tive Of incendiarism, and in this
respect much has been accomplished.
The bulletins that have been issued
to the state press have also been of
much assistance to people in general
in learning of the causes of fires and
warnings how to prevent them. That
there has been a falling off of fires
in the past year is noticeable from the
figures. There were 446 fires report
to the department in 1908, while
there we're but 3O4 in 1909. The

Up To The Women

Madison Outlook: The campaign for
equal suffrage for women was started
last week at a meeting held at Sioux
Falls. 1t is claimed that this Is sim
ply a starter for a state campaign that
will invade every town and village in
the state and as far as possible put the
question squarely before every voter.
The Outlook is of the opinion that the
future of the movement will depend
very largely on the attitude of the wo-
men themselves. If any very consider.
able portion of them show tina they
want the right of franchise, we believe
they can nave it. But If nobody wants
it excepting a few professional agita-
tors. the situation is different. Frank
~, we do not believe many women
want to vote or care anything about
dabbling in politics. We do not wish
to be understood as opposing the suf-
frage movement, if the women them
selves manifest a real disposition to
want it, but it will require more than
the speeches of a few walking dele
gates to convince us that they do.

8 5000 Paid for One Pew

Washington, Nov. 15.-so great is
the demand for pews in st. Johns
Episcopal Church-which is immeol-
ately opposite the White House but
with the beautiful Lafayette Square
intervening-that it is the custom to
place them at auction whenever a pew
owner dies or permanently leaves
Washington, and a pew was recently
purchased in this church for $4,000, the
highest price on record.
New York prices for pews easily
surpass the Washington record. A
Church has been sold for $4,000. The
costliest pews in the metropolis. and
probably in America, are in Temple
EMANUEL, Fifth Avenue and Forty
third Street. For annual rentage in
this synagogue Sc, 900 has been paid.
Average rentals are from $4,000 to $5,-
OO0. h price for a pew rented just
for the two holidays Of the Passover
and New Year, in spring and autumn.
reaches $500. Last year $615 was paid
for two seats.
Old Trinity Church has few pews to
sell and limits its price to $125, plus
annual ground rent Of about $35, but
a pew offered recently in the settle
ment Of an estate brought $500.
st. Bartholomew Protestant Epts-
copal Church once received $4,000 for
a pew, but this was hardly a legitimate
market quotation, being in the nature
of a gift to help the church to meet a
debt.
1t st. Patrick's Cathedral $1,000 As
the recor pew rent. Two blocks
above the cathedral pews In the tenn
porary structure of st. Thomas's bring
from $1,000 to $500.

idea a number of interesting expert

MoNoRAIL CAR SUCCEEDS
One Forty Feet Long and Carrying
Forty Passengers Takes Curves
With the Greatest Ease

London, Nov. 15.-The new mono
rail railway. the cars of which are
held in balance by a gyroscope, which
was first shown here in model form
eighteen months ago before the Royal
Society by it's inventor, Louis Brennan,
received it's first public demonstration
on a ful scale in the wal office grounds
near Chatham.
The guests witnessed a spectacle as
marvellous and as revolutionary from
the standpoint of transportation as
that which ~aeroplanes have furnished
IN the last two years. They saw a car
forty feet long, ten feet wide and
thirteen feet high, weighing twenty
two tons, mounte on a single rail,
running freely over curves of all sorts
n carrying forty passengers with
safety as complete as, and vibration
far less than the ordinary passenger
car.
The vehicle runs on circular track
an eighth of a mile in circumference
at a speed of twenty-five miles an
hour, with eighty horse power, without
the slightest tendency to leave the
rail.
No announcement in the field Of me
chanics ever produced a great sensa
ton han did Mr.. Brennan's statement
of his invention of the gyroscope mon
oral railway. After it had been DEM
onstrated to them, the leaders in
British science declared that Brennan's
name was worthy to rank with such
as Newton, Watt n Stephenson.
Briefly, as Mr.. Brennan himself de-
scribed it, the characteristic feature of
his system is that each vehicle is ca
pable of maintaining it's balance upon
an ordinary rail, whether standing still
or moving at any rate of speed. Me-
chanism of extreme simplicity endows
it with this power. This consists es-
sentially of two gyroscope flywheels
rotated by electric motors in opposite
directions at high velocity.
The driving wheels are placed in a
single row beneath the center Of the
car and are not only pivoted to provide
for horizontal curves in the track, but
for vertical ones also. The motive
power may be either steam, petroleum,
oil, gas or electricity. The bridges
would be of the simplest construction,
a single wire hawser stretched across
a ravine or river being all that is nee
essary for temporary work. The later
al swaying of the hawser does not dis
turb the balance of the cars and the
strongest wind will fail to blow them
off. In other cases for bridge build
ing, a single row of piles with the ran
on top sufices. The speed can be from
twice to thrice that of ordinary rail-
ways.
