PHONE sz new idea in Transportation Train* to 9114* on PtunnaVa, SopSrttoi From Track Merely by Thin Film of Water. Looking toward the transportation facilities oi the future, an American electrical experimenter believes that the chief mean* of travel will he trains without wheels, running on single tracks, ami 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 prao tlcully without friction over another If there Is a thin layer of water be tween them will he applied and work ed out In running a train. Tho Idea of a train' without wheels is suffi ciently surprising, but, according to the writer, a Frenchman had Invented Niu-h a train Just before tho Frauco Prusslan 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, la prophesied as nol8e1essness of operation, equal curry ing capacity, and about twice as much speed. The Idea looks visionary; but after all It is not wise to distrust poa? aibllltles for that reason. TO BE NEW WORLD'S WONDER Japanese at Work on Statue of It. Nlchiren, Cutting It From the Solid Rock. Qn the Isle of Cow's Head. In that beautiful Inland sea, which has been called the Mediterranean of Japan, a lodge of fock overlooks the water, and here a sn\all 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 ono 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. R'ollowlng 'he line of the natu ral rock It will be a reclining figure 240 feet long, and therefore that much more Impressive than the Buddha at Pegu, Burma, which from head to foot measures 182 feet. The Isle of the Cow's head is private property, and this Brobdinghaglan adornment is a work of private enterprise. Tho re clining figure will be that of St, Nlchl 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 archtUC fig- ! tire, yet with considerable realism. For the enormous statue that Is to be cut out of the solid rock from the niQtJel the trees and greenery of the Isle of the Cow's head will provide an excellent setting. - Rock Oust to Save Miners' Lives., Perhaps the oddest, yet one of the most eifTectlvei means for preventing ? or, 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 ofT. Following an explosion a roaring fame, let us say. Is coming through the tunueL The air is filled with coal (Just (or7 with inflammable gas) to feed it. : But it meets a cur tain of non-inflammA$le rock dust (dis charged from the b\&rd shelves) and Is thereby stopped. Rock dust will not burn under aAy provocation. Sus pended thickly in t&& air, It acts like an asbestos curttin. The flame can | not get through 1 L '' Lost Arms Without Pa hi. Our story of A rdin being blown away, unhurt, by the explosion Of a bomb which he did u6t hear must seem Incredible to maiy people. Here ia something like an analogy. ' King Edward oncfc brought together a? hia dinner table Rnstem Pasha. who 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. The two men compared notes. Neither had felt the least twinge of pain at the time. They imagined that their intense desire to save their lives dulled all other senses. ? London Chronicle. Bismarck's Wine Thirst. In his choice of drinks Bismarck displayed a somewhat unpatriotic spirit Talking to Mr. John Booth In 1870, Bismarck confessed that whan stationed at St. Petersburg, he usei^to drink two bottles of champagne a day. He estimated that altogether he had drunk 6,000 bottles of champagne and amoked 100,000 cigars. On another occasion Bismarck de clared that beer "makes men stupid, lazy and useless.
