half of an orange crate, while on the
other side was a mess" of sweet
potatoes intended to be served as con-
comitant of the feast. The possum
and potatoes were safely slowed away
in the presidential baggage car. With
memories of the 'pOssum dinner in
Atlanta last winter still fresh in mind
the president suggested that the

of honor among the viands for dim

surrounded by bluecoats throughout
the period of darkness the mornings

MISREPRESENTATION

/ the physicians contended that he was
beyond aid.
Simpson, the victim was 35 years
old, and was accustomed, it is said,
to drinking heavily. 1t is generally
Company applied to the public SER
vice commission last February, and
later amended its offer in June for
a route on Broadway as outlined. 1t
announced that it would bid for the
construction of the line with it's own
capital if the commission would adj
vertise it. The board of estimate
now has a committee considering the
moving platform matter.
In his report Chief Engineer Sea-
man says that the increasing density
OF traffic on Manhattan Island makes
imperative the utilization of some
means of transit similar to the NOV
| ing platform. This is necessary, he
says, for the most congested routes.
The principle upon which the NOV
ing platform is based, he says, has
been so well applied in large facto-
ries and warehouses that it needs no
description. He says the use of it
has been confined to expositions, but
he has no doubt of it's practical
availability
Provision" he says, sis made for
the loading and unloading of pas
sengers at will by the introduction
of narrow loading platforms moving
at different speeds. Thus, for the
continuous train moving at twelve
mile speed, thence to six-mile speed,
loading platforms moving at nine,
six and three miles respectively. The
passenger steps from a stationary
platform to one moving at the three
mile speed thence to siX-mile speed,
etc, until reaching the ultimate
speed of the continuous train. The
transition of speed between plat
forms, each increasing at three miles
per hour, may be made without in
convenience.
The advantages of this arrange
ment are vastly increased capacity
and seats for all passengers. Also
there is no delay by waiting for
trains at stations, as the train is al
ways there and constantly moving.
/ Passengers may board or leave the
train at any point at will, and instead
/ of placing stations one-third of c
mile apart, as on the present sub
way, they may be placed at every
street, or, indeed at any intermediate
point, and the construction may take
the form of a continuous arcade.
THE designs and estimates indi-
cate that as means of transporta-
ton this method of conveyance will
be efficient, safe and reliable, and,
with dense traffic, most economical.
1T will be found that for all dis
tances less than four miles the NOV
ing platform is a quicker and more
convenient mode of conveyance than
is the local train service, or even
quicker than the local and express
service combined; for instance, pas
senger may reach Times Square sta
ton from any local station south of
Fourteenth street quicker by the
moving platform than by the local
and express trains of the present
subway.
THE capacity of the moving plat
form is beyond any requirements
which can at present be foreseen. p

THIRD BOUT WITH 'POSSUM.
Taft Isn't Devoted to the Southern
Birds Meat.

At Hickman. KY, the president
was the guest of the governors, who
were making the trip down the river
on the steamer St Paul, which was
brought up in mid-stream alongside
the presidents boat and dashed there
while he and his party were conduct
ed on board.
The same proceeding was gone
through shortly after the fleet left
Cairo, and the president received
a possum and surrounded by sweet
potatoes ready to be served at his
luncheon table. While the pOssum
was being transferred to the Olean-
der a band on the st. Paul played
the old negro melody, Carve dat
'possum, carve him to the heart"
Although the impression has
gained ground that the president is
fond of 'possum meat this was the
third time he has eaten it. Although
enjoying the novelty of the dish Mr.,
Taft has admitted to friends that he
does not altogether banker after it. -
