The Mono Rail System.

• Liverpool ami Manchester today j oudon and Brighton tomorrow I 1 B» 4j-ake Mr Baifoar Browne, most pertM* d\o of Parliamentary couofeol, in the speech by which he carried the *Man*» tester and Liverpool Electric Expreat Railway Bill* through » Home of Lordi Committee the other day after a tbret weeks' contest In other wordg, tin promoters of Che high speed moao fail system of locomotion expect to «ever England with a network of electric express tines between great towns, com parable only to the existing network of ordinary eteum railways. A great undertaking; of coaree, yet a railway iftid between these iftve two towm, Liverpool and Manchester, less than eighty years ago, proved the nucleus of the gigantic and world wide railway system of today. Ths intention of Mr Bebr may prove to be not lets potent than that of Georg« Stephenton. One fundamental proposition upon which , the cage for the mono-rail system rests is that on the ordinary two-rail railways the limit of speed haa been reached—vie a throughout rate fifty five to sixty miles per hour. On exceptionally favourable sections of line a speed of seventy or even eighty miles is possible, bat it cannot be sus tained over a long journey, not because of the lack of locomotive power, but because the train would not stay on the track. Were there such a thing in the world as an absolutely straight: railway line—saj, at least, thirty or Forty miles in length, and were the permanent way of this line so perfectly maintained as to prevent the smallest deflection in the level of eftßef rail, a speed of one hundred or more miles an hoar might be regularly and safely made with a light load propelled by either steam or electric motive power.* An at tempt to realise these conditions Is from all accounts, being made by the German Government on the military railway between Berlin and Zossen, But even were the promised German one hundred miles an hour train to run successfully for three months, Mr Behr would not alter his opinion that the limit of two rail speed has been reached, for it seems to him certain that Bomo day, sooner or later, the maintenance of tbe line must fail, and the train be thrown of owing to a deflection of one of the rails, Moreover, a complete absence of curves and an absolute rigidity are unattainable in the ordinary railways of commerce*- '. . . The approval of the House of OoE&mons has, of course to be won, and the capital has to be raised to make the line. But the pros* pecfc of being able to travel &t 110 miles an hour has been brought appre ciably nearer daring the present Ses sion af Parliament — Outlook

SWALLOWING

Swallowing a »word It v trick nob conducive t* health or longevity. But ifc ia nob more Injurious chaa the h»sty swallow* ing of half maaticnted food washed down by i^ulpa of food or water. Basby eating ie the (all if health. Sooner or later it must revolt in ißdi gestion, or acme other form of stomach disease. For the care of the diseases of the stomach, »nd allied organs of iigettion, there is ns medicine so effective v Dr Morse's Indian Root Pilii. Mr Vise Is a welt known green grooer, residing in Dennleoa atreeb, K.ingetoD,Sydney, Be has a few words" Is say about bis suffering »nd core. 'For some considerable time, 1 he laid, ' I h*re bad % bad set to with aoute indigestion, wbioh at last took me to a doctor. 1 The paios would oatfh tne sharply in the pit of the stomach, and with such severity that) when the doctor told me what my complaint was I ooold scarcely believe him, thinking that indigestion could never use a mas bo badly. His advice and medicine, however, did me no good, and I was advised by friends to try different remedies. I followed this one's advica and that; bub my complaint was still as bad as ever, when I resolved to give Dr Morse's Indian Boot Pills a trial, as I had heard them praised bo much by mftny I knew who bad used them. From the first dose they acted very well upon me, giving me more relief than anything I had ever takeu f and I can reoommend them to all who sufsr as f have done,' Dr Morse's Indian Root PISIS are a perfect blood purifier, and » positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, ooosblpation, headaches, sallow comp!exior ?
