' ff y j A ONE-RAIL RAPID TRANSIT ROAD. A railroad system that tin n Plngle rail wllh single cars, combining u glue, passenger coach nntl baggage cai rler, will travel with the swiftness of tho wind, is the curious Invention of a man In Wyoming. It M no uirrti theory planned on paper dimply to eie atc wonder ami be of no practical use. William T. Shaffer has patented his Idea and has a model roml In full work ing order near his home. This "ery unique railway Is designed to entry passengers, mail mid express matter between populous points, particularly In erowdctl titles, taking the place of the present elevated railroad and at taining a speetl heretofore unequalled by any railway train. The ear Is used on a single rail, ele vated upon posts, which are connect-d near their tops by beams, or stringer", and arc braced with truss rods. On each side of this row of posts Is placed n guide rail, the bearing Mirfiuc of which Is placed at tight angles with tho face of the top rail. For passengers the car has one low of double seatH next to the windows, and the aisle, or passageway, is next to the Inner wall. The car Is practi cally two cars, one of which travels on cither side of the rail. They are joined by a bridge, or cupola, at the center. The trucks, with two wheels. each, are placed one before the other behind tho bridge. These main eairy- WHY IT DIDN'T OCCUR, Tim llrtilc Not u Clllan unit So N ' rcn ('until lln Unit. Franklin M. Ftllnger. a tricrr at 11-P.4 street, southwest, was honrted straight for the realms of matrimonial bliss one day recently anil making rec ord time until he reached the city hall and applied for a license, says the Washington Foht. There ho took a sud den header Into an abyss of despair and 18-year-old Lena Jobst was shed ding tears that night. These young peoplo had talked the matter over and arranged for n quiet little wedding, to which their friends were to be Invited. Tho prospective bridegroom's face worti a radiant smile as he bounded Into the clerk's otllce. It was all right he was 28 and Lena was 18; he was quite sure she was 18 and would be 10 in Decem ber. Ho was a citizen of the United States, he told the clerk, ami th'.-u the clerk snld: "Is Lena a citizen, too?" That struck the applicant as rather a good Joke, and he laughed and said he would tell Lena when he went home, but tho clerk dually convinced Frank lin that he was thoroughly In earnest; that It was necessary to swear Lena was n citizen. Well, the man who was trying to become a benedict said he did not know. Lena hnd been brought to tho United States by her parents when bho was 2 years old. Was her father naturalized? Didn't know that, either; the father was dead and they could not ask htm. "Well, that settles It," the clerk ob served. "I am afraid we can't do any thing for you. The law, enacted by tho last congress, suys; " 'No license for any marriage shall hereafter be Issued to which any citi zen of a foreign country shall bo a party until a minister or n coiibuI rep resenting such forplgn country in the United States shall certify that the conditions to tho validity of the mar rlauo laws of such country shall have been complied with.' " And that Is why a certain wedding announced to take plnro in South Washington society has been declared off. It would, no doubt, puzzle a for eign minister or a consul to (lnd out whether Lena Jobst complied fully with nil tho marriage laws of (lermnny and lived up to them strictly to the time she wns -' years old, so there Is really nothing left for this couple to do but get married soinewhero eUe. It wns somo time before tho clerk could mako Franklin believe that the law could In any way prevent his marry ing Lona, but when ho thoroughly grasped tho situation he expressed nn opinion of the whole law-making power in language nlmost strong enough to change the marriage regu lations without the Intervention of con grese.

A further concession Is to allow communication with one other subscriber, but any other com munication must be nt the rate of live cents per call. The limit upon the service makes It Improbable that any more than twocalls a day will be made, anil these can be piovldcd at tho low rate.

A Wrvilni; Treis The weeping treo of the Canary Islands Is one of the wonders of plant life. It Is of tho laurel family, and rains down a copious nhower of water drops from Its tufted foliage. This water Is often collected at tho foot of the treo and forms a kind of pond, from which tho Inhabitants of the neighborhood can suply themselves with 11 beverage that Is absolutely fresh and pure. Thu water conies out of the tree Itself through innumerable little, porcti situated at the inarglu of the leaves, It issues from the plant ns vapor during tho daytlmo when the heat Is siitllclently great to preserve It in that condition, but In the evening, whon the temperature has lowered very much, a considerable quantity of it is exuded In the form of liquid drops that collect nearthoedgesof thu leaves until these members so bend down under their Increasing weight ns to pass, for them, thu limit of the nugln of repose, whon tho tears tumblo off on the ground below In a verltablo shower.

In case of any settling the shoe would contact with the rail, and, in addition to supporting the car in its proper po sit Ion, would serve as an 11111011111111 brake to "slow up" the motion of the car. I-'leetiiclty is the motive power of thl single truck car, the rotary en gine and motor being just above the single rail and between the two Hides of the car. The wheel of thl combin ation car can be made three times as large as the ordinary engine wheeN, and consequently the same number of revolutions which curry the present engine nt the rate of fifty miles an hour will carry this car 130 mile nn hour.

In cities it Is pro posed to elevate the road to a sufllci'-nt height to clear all vehicles and leave fiee loadway beneath. In the country, however. It will only be necessary to elevate the road to a sufficient height to clear the ground, and nt crossings, where the elevation can be made mill eicnt to allow teams to pass beneath the rail. The llrst com of such a road will be somewhat greater than the or dinary road, but the inventor ays it will be cheaper In the end, as there will be no constnnt repairs for roadb-d or keeping the track clear.

These dainty bits of pasteboard can bo charmingly quaint and original, or else (as we often see) absolutely with out ornamentation, or. what Is worse, decorated in the poorest manner, sas the Philadelphia Press.

Many a time one sees a little scene or (lower In water-colors which has all the appearance of being cribbed from 11 Chrlatinas card.

Some Uttlo bit tnken from a funny pa per, or, If clever enough, out of one's own head, has all the attraction of nov elty. Cupids, flowers, love letters and slippers for women; pipes, horses and dogs for the men. A clever Idea Is to sketch in fanciful letteis tho words: "Who the (then draw a devil) sits here?" If the hostess desires to touch up tho little vanities and weaknesses for her guests here is her opportunity. Upon the author's card may be drawn a llgure writing In the book of fame; for the musician, a muse plnylng nn tho lyre; for the man who talks too much, a parrot, shrieking: "Words! Words!

Why, It 11 man were tr sneak Into my hom-c tonight and steal the $:ti that I have laid up to pay my taes, I would feel that 1 was almost bankrupt; uuri yet I am sum that I could stand that loss a good deal easier than our preacher can go to conference without the remainder of his salnr.v.
