A very simple device is employed
on the tramways Of Zurich, Switzer-
land, to prevent the grinding of the
wheels and the shaking OF the cars
passing round curves. Since It rs not
practicable in a public street to raise
the outer rail on curves, as is done on
railroads, similar effect is produced
by giving to the exterior tramway
rail On curves very shallow groove.
The consequence is that. the outer
wheels of the tramcars passing round
a curve run on their fianges. and are
thus raised relatively to the inner
wheels. This device disposes ef-
tectively OF the disagreeabie grind-
Ing and the shaking of the cars. 20

Our Flag at MOnrOVia.

The appearance of the United
States flag, borne by small cruiser
of the United States Navy, is said to
have been hailed with rapturous de-
light this week by the populace OF
the Liberian capital. The circum-
stance is gratifying as an assurance
of the sentiments with which that.
flag is regarded and OF the esteem in
which the United States is held by
distant people who have too often
had little cause for thinking of us at
all. Doubtless it is to be interpreted
chiefly as a tribute to the known
power of this country and to the eff
ficiency of. its active interest wher-
ever 1t may be manifested in the at
fairs of the world, rather than as. a
very direct token of gratitude OF af-
fection. Liberians know that the
United States flag stands for some
thing definite and benehcent apd.th
the ship which bears it is an earnest
OF fleet competent to command for
the flag abundant respect in any quar-
ter OF the globe.-New York Tribune.
