Davy, of Hayward, Calif, It runs through a tube that has been exhausted of air by powerful engine pumps. 'A railroad of this kind may run on the surface or underground or under water. Ath the station the train runs into - a compartment where the air is at} normal pressure, This is done with- out admitting air to the tube by the help of a novel locking arrangement of sliding and hinged doors with air- tight joints. Passengers are thus enabled to leave the cars or to get aboard, and the train, resuming its journey, enters the tube again by the same means. The cars are necessarily airtight. Inside of them the air is at normal pressure; and it is kept fresh by a flow of oxygen from tanks provided for the purpose. Of course, the vacuum in the tube But with no air resistance worth mentioning, the trains could attain tremendous speeds --150 miles an hour or more. It would : not be necessary to guard against crossing accidents, because there would be no crossings. The inventor says that the crowding of cars is due largely to limit of speed. With greater speed there could be correspondingly more trips, thus reducing traffic congestion. pnt A GUARD BABYS HEALTH IN THE SUMNER The summer months are the most dangerous to children. The com- plaints of that season, which are cholera infantum, colic diarrhoea and dysentry, come on so quickly that often a little one is" beyond aid be- fore the mother realizes he is ill. The mother must be on her guard to pre- vent these troubles, or if they do come on suddenly to banish them, No other medicine is-of such aid to mothers during hot weather as is Baby's Own Tablets.

Mr. Elkins, the wealthy young American who recently took his bride for a honeymoon "as near the North Pole as he can comfortably get," Is bY no means the first bridegroom who has spent his "month of honey" in thi chilly environment. A few years ago Mr. Max Fleisch- man, a Chicago millionaire, at his bride's request, took her straight from the altar to the Arctic wastes, where they spent, on their own evidence, "delightful" months, hunting seals, reindeer, and polar bears, two of which fell to the bride's own gun. Mrs. Fleischmann's honeymoon ward- robe, we are told, consisted of an as- sortment of sheepskin dresses, lined with leather. Less chilly, but no less adventurous, was the honeymoon journey of Major Powell-Cotton, who took his bride on a long and hazardous journey through Africa, spending many months in the heart of the Iturl Forest, hunting the okapi and making friends of the sav- age pigmies, who had never before éven seen a white woman. " But the most daring and adventur- ous of all recorded honeymoons was | that of Captain Andrews, an American | sailor, and his bride, who started to cross the Atlantic in a "Cockleshell," twelve feet long, and were never seen again. i mamas ---- Birds That Can't Fly. Why don't barnyard fowl fly? They can make a fluttering pretence at flight, it is true, but for real flying their wings are useless. "Barnyard fowl have lost the use of thelr wings through neglecting to use them, - They have been valued for their eggs, and, as a consequence, they have been well fed. Thus the necessity for flying from place to place in search of food has not existed, They have for the same reason been protected as far as possible from at- dangers that would make flight, as a means of escape, a necessity. In course of time, therefore, their wings have become practically useless for pur es of flight, he wings of barnyard fowl are gradually decreasing in size. It may be that in the course of time their wings will become so small that they will 'be nothing more than mere hers and later still it is quite pos- Rei." that they wil Flsaprest. x alto- 4 MONEY.

In the opinion of the commissioners, the large part of the British people that reckons its income in shillings and pence would resent such interference with established terms of value; and though the decimal system would be of advantage to those who keep ac- counts, to the majority of the people the benefits would be too slight to compensate for the confusion that would inevitably result from it.
