NEW MONORAIL CARS.

Consul Thomas II. Norton. Of ChemnitzS
writes concerning q new monoraH car, per$
fected and patented by Belgian engtneer1
An essential feature of this new systerns
the isopedin, is the use Of two forms OF
wheels as mobile supports of car. Two
or more strong, heavy heels In a tandeu
sequence directly under the axis Of the caH
are constructed with the proper fanses So

tonaI wheels, larger but lighter, one ors

an axle The first series support the load
with the motive power, as well as subject
to the action Of The brakes; the second pair
OF heelS serve simply TO maintain equihb<

are the comfortable seat. the accommodate

University of Berlin still leads in point of
attendance, but the approaching celebra-
tion of its centenary may be partly the
cause of this sudden growth. The twenty

charges il to the fact that the labor
Ing men earn the money, but that
the force Of office help at the city

all Of the profits made by the men
in the department who actually
work.
Here Is his version of the case:
There are about 10 route wagons
and, II charges were right, they
should be paying from 5000 to $500
per month. These wagons collect
extra, beside their route work, 81

collect more for extra work each

the wagons amount to, allowing
$1.25 for horse care. There are six

EASTPORT, Me-, July 49,
William Howard Taft, the first
President Of the United States
who has ever been in PASSPORT,
arrived today and was given a
hearty reception. A big crowd
was at the water front when
the MayfIower came in. They
cheered the president warmly
and gathered around while he
made his way up the dock to
a big automobile that was wait
ing to Whisk him to a hotel.
At the hotel he was met by
a reception committee made up
of the state republican leaders.
