NEW IDEA IN TRANSPORTATION
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 a
thin film Of water. In short, the fact
that one plate Of glass will glide prac-
tically without friction over another

tween them will be applied and work.
ed out In running train. The
idea Of train without wheels is suffi-
ciently surprising, but. according to
the writer, Frenchman had invented
such train just before the Franco
Prussian war. and the project was not
resumed afterward, although later
French Inventor made some important
improvements. The advantage over
modern transportation. II 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 1t is not wise to distrust pos
sibilities for that reason.

Land Reclamation Scheme.

The British board of agriculture has
inaugurated scheme for the reclama-
tion of land on the Lincolnshire shore
of the Wash. A bank is being con-
structed from Wainfleet, a little below
Skegnees, to Freiston, near Boston
Uincolnshire), commencing at the
Wainfeet end, and by this means it
is hoped to recover about 12.000 acres.
The work is in charge of IA resident
engineer In Wainfleet and will employ
large number of men, who will! be
selected from demobilized soldiers and
sailors, and thus obviate The taking
away of labor from agriculture. 1t is
said that in the middle of the last cen
fury n reclamation scheme was started,
and ii was then estimated that sufii-
ciently large area would be redeemed
from the Wash to form new English
county. The enterprise was abandon
ed, but experts have always maintained
it's practicability, which is now in the
course of being tested. ~ -

Rock Dust 70 cave Miners Lives.

Perhaps the oldest, yet one of the
most sTective, means for preventing
--N, at all events, minimizing disas-
ters in coal mines is the use of rock
dust.
A lot of it 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.
Follow ing an explosion roaring
flame, let us say, is coming through
the tunnel. The air is filled with coal
dust (or possibly with inflammable
gas) to feed it. But 1t meets cur
tain of non-inflammable rock dust (dis-
charged from the board shelves) and
Is thereby stopped. Rock dust will
not burn under any provocstion. Sus-
pended thickly In the air, It acts like
an asbestos curtain. The flame can
not get through 1t.

TO BE NEW WORLDS WONDER
Japanese at Work on Statue Of St..
Nichiren, Cutting II From
the Solid Rock.

beautiful inland sea, which has been
called the Mediterranean of Japan,
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 100 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-
raj rock it will be a reclining figure
24O feet long, and therefore that much
more impressive than the Buddha at
Pegu, Burma, which from head to foot
measures 1872 feet. The Isle of the
Cows head is private property, and
this Brobdingnagian adornment is n
work of private enterprise. The re-
clining figure will be that of st. Nichi-
rem, 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.

quoid, the veteran novelist at the great
age of ninety-three, sewers another OF
the few remaining links with the Vic

When George Eliot went to live at

and call on her. But before she could
do so a remarkable and tragic thing

MOTOR CARS ON STAGE LINE
Roadways Succumb to March
Of Improvement.

Stage lines In Nevada have aban-
doned the -honoored fOur-in- hands
of horses in favor Of high powered
motor busses.
Daily. with clocklike precision,
these big cars pound along the 100
miles Of sun-bitten alkali roadway car
rying passengers and mail. In much
less time and far greater comfort the
ranchers and business men of today
speed over the same roads where once
ratified the four-in-hand stage, slow.
jolty and not at all certain of reach
ing its destination.
The cost Of transportation by motor
bus compares favorably with operating
expenses of the horse stage. The pro-
prietors of the lines are thorough bus-
ness men and can tell to the penny the
gasoline mileage of every car, the oil
consumption and just how much serv-
ice is obtained from tires.-San Fran

Lost Arms without Pain.

Our story Of q man being blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion Of a
bomb which ne did not hear must seem
incredible to many people. Here is
something like an analogy.
King Edward once brought together

had had half his right hand and part
Of his arm torn Off by a bear, and Sir
Edward Bradford, who had had his
left arm up to the elbow munched
away by a tiger.

Neither had felt the least twlnge OF
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled aii other senses. - London

sismareks Wine Thirst.

In his choice of drinks Bismarck
displayed somewhat unpatrlOtic
spirit. Talking to Mr.. John Booth In
1879. Bismarck confessed that when
stationed at st. Petersburg, he used to
drink two bottles of champagne day.
He estimated that altogether he had
drunk 5000 bottles of champagne and
smoked 100000 cigars.
On another occasion Bismarck de-
clared that beer makes men stupid,
lazy and useless. 1t is responsible for
the democratic nonsense spouted over
the tavern tables. A good rye whisky
is very much better"
