NEW IDEA IN TRANSFORMATION
Trains to Slide on Runners, Separated From Track Merely by Thin
 Film of Water.

Looking toward the transportation facilities of the future, an American electrical experimenter believes that the chief means of travel will be trains without wheels, running on single tracks, and moving almost without friction because they will slide on run ners separated from the track by thin film of water. Tn short, the fact that one plate of glass will glide prac- tically without friction over another if there is a thin layer of water be- tween them will be applied and work ed out in running a train. The idea of a train without wheels is suffi- ciently surprising. but, according to the writer a Frenchman had invented such a train just before the Franco Prussian war, and the project was not resumed afterward. although a later French inventor made some important improvements. The advantage over modern transportation, if such trains become practicable, is prophesied as noiselessness of operation, equal carry ing capacity, and about twice as much speed. The idea looks visionary; but after all it is not wise to distrust pos abilities for that reason.

Rock Dust to Save Miners Lives.

Perhaps the oldest, yet one of the most effective, means for preventing or, at all events, minimizing-disas- ters in coal mines is the use of rock dust.
 A lot of 1t is placed on boards hung by chains from the roofs of mine tun- nels. Obviously in case of an explos- ion the boards will swing and the dust will be thrown off.
 Following an explosion a roaring flame, let us say, is coming through the tunnel. The air is filled with coal dust Cor possibly with inflammable gas) to feed it. But it meets a cur tain of non-infiammable rock dust (dis- charged from the board shelves) and is thereby stopped. Rock dust will not burn under any provocation. Sus- pended thickly in the air, it acts like an asbestos curtain. The flame can not get through it.

TO BE NEW WORLDS WONDER
Japanese at Work on Statue of St. Nichiren, Cutting 1t From
 the Solid Rock.

On the Isle of Cows Head, in that beautiful inland sea, which has been called the Mediterranean of Japan, a ledge of rock -overlooks the water, and here small army of Japanese work men are busy at the first cuttings that will eventually carve out the largest statue in the world The Colossus of Rhodes, at one time one of the seven wonders of the world, is said to have been 120 feet high-a small thing com pared with the figure of Liberty that stands 151 feet above its pedestal in New York harbOr-but the Japanese statue will be of even greater magni- tude. Following the line of the natu- ral rock it will be reclining figure 240 feet long, and therefore that much more impressive than the Buddha at Pegu, Burma, which from head to foot measures 1892 feet. The Isle of the Cows head is private property, and this BrObdingnagian adornment is work of private enterprise. The re- clining figure will be that of St. Nichi- ren, who founded the sect of Buddhism that bears his name. In the wooden model the saint lies asleep, facing who- ever sees him, his head pillowed on a block, and his left arm extended along his side; a somewhat archaic fig ure, yet with considerable realism. For the enormous statue that Is to be cut out of the solid rock from the model the trees and greenery of the Isle of the Cows head will provide an excellent setting.

NO TROLLEY YET

With an agreement feached last week between the management of the Berkshire trolley company and the striking employees, it was thought that trolley service would be resumed this week. Tracks were
 feared and everything put in readi- ness for resumption of service, when the B. 6 A. R. R., placed an attachment on the trolley companies supply of coal, making it impossible to operate. The next step must be the appointment of a receiver and undoubtedly spring will be here again before service is restored.

PAPER GOING UP
The H. c. of L. has struck the printing industry perhaps harder

The Il. C. of l.. has struck the printing industry perhaps harder than any other line of business, be- cause of much keener competition and many other reasons better under stood by the trade. Daily and weekly papers have advanced their adver- Using rates and the price of subscrip- ton, but the News has been kept at the same old price it sold for twenty years ago.
 We had good reason for trying to maintain this price. The best of our reasons is that Canaan has not felt the great boom in business experi- enced by other places, nor have it's people received such great increases in salaries and wages, so we have held down the price until it is abso- utely necessary for us to add. fifty cents to the price of the paper for enc year, making it $2.50, and single copies to sell at 6 cents.
 Here are some more facts which make it imperative that the price be advanced, and realizing that we are catering to an intelligent class of people, we shall let them decide whether we have done right or wrong.
 First-The labor cost per ton on white paper is now about $2O against S1O four years ago. This is not the cost of paper, but just what the manufacturers have to pay their men for making one ton of paper.
 Second-It takes one ton of coal tc make one ton of paper, and paper al the mill has practically doubled ir price.
 Third-The haul of pulp wooc from which paper is made is growing greater each year; likewise freight charges have nearly doubled.
 Fourth-The markets of Europe South America and Australia are nov asking for paper from Canada ant the United States. With the demand for paper 20 per cent greater thar the supply, it is easily understoo' why prices are high.
 The above facts deal only with th raw paper. Take into consideration the advance of wages, electricity coal and a hundred other article incidental to the publishing of ; newspaper and it will readily b. seen that our price is not exhorbitan
 The price of the News will remail the same as it now is until Novembe 1st, when the new rate will go int effect. Those desiring to take ad vantage of the old rate may do S during the next thirty days.
