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

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. It Is responsible for
? the democratic nonsense spouted orer
the tavern tables. A good rye whisky
Is very much better."

THERE is a tremendous satis
faction to us in selling the '
Liberty.
We know in advance the pleasant
things that are certain to happen.
In the first ten minutes of demon
stration, the Liberty reveals the
delightful difference in the way it
rides and drives.
Its consistent performance there
after, and the admiration its beau
ty always arouses, are a constant
source of pleasure to the owner.
We feel that in distributing the
Liberty in this community we are
building a business that is bound
to endure, because it is based on
sustained and continuous satis
faction.
