LOUIS BRENNAN'S MONORAIL INVENTION.

The invention attracting the most attention in 1907 was that exhibited by Louis Brennan,' C. B., in May before the Royal society of London. It was a railway carriage carrying its own motive power and running on a single rail. Briefly described, the main features of the contrivance are as follows: Balance is secured by the application of the principle of the gyrostatic action of ro

The mechanism consists of two flywheels rotated directly by electric motors in opposite directions at a high velocity and mounted so that their gyrostatic action and stored-up energy can be utilized. The wheels are mounted on high-class bearings and are placed in exhausted cases, so that both air and journal friction is reduced to a minimum. Each vehicle is capable of maintaining its balance on an ordinary rail laid upon sleepers on the ground, whether it is standing still or moving in either direction at any rate of speed, though the center of gravity may be as high as eight or ten feet above the rail. The motive power may be steam, petrol, oil or gas. It is claimed that when the invention is perfected so that it can be put to practical use it will result in greater economy in the construction, equipment and operation of railways.

Nunn was suffocated and King slowly dying. Notwithstanding the fact that another cave-in seemed sure within a short time, Mr. Hodger was lowered into the well and succeeded in saving King and recovering Nunn's body.

ESPERANTO.

Esperanto is an artificial language invented by Dr. L. L. Zamenhof, a physician of Warsaw, Poland. It is intended not to displace languages now in use, but to be a second language for communication between persons of different nationalities. The principles upon which it is constructed render it much easier of acquirement than any other language. The roots of its words are chosen from the chief European tongues, embracing in addition some Latin roots and those from the Greek which have already been received into most languages. From these, by means of a system of prefixes and suffixes, a vast number of words may be formed, giving expression to every conceivable shade of meaning. The memorizing of a few hundred root words places the learner in possession of a vocabulary of several thousand words. The grammatical terminations are few and simple. There are no irregularities or exceptions_to grammatical rules. A good knowledge of Esperanto may be acquired in three months.

Dr. Zamenhof's first book was published in 1887. The spread of the new language was at first slow, owing partially, perhaps, to the failure of Volapuk. As early as 1895 an Esperanto periodical was established in France and the language made rapid progress in that country. It began to win recognition in other continental countries and in 1902 was introduced into England. Not long thereafter it began to secure a foothold in the United States. The first periodical in America was published in Oklahoma in October, 1906. It is now published in Chicago. The second monthly was issued from Boston in January, 1907. There are at the present time probably thirty publications in various countries devoted to the propagation of Esperanto and printed either wholly or partly in that language. In addition many magazines and other periodicals have departments devoted to Esperanto. The number of persons studying the language at the present time must run into the hundreds of thousands and many men of prominence are giving it their indorsement and support. Clubs have been formed for its study in hundreds of towns and cities in the United States. The formation of state associations has also begun and one now exists in Illinois. National associations have been formed in many countries. It is now possible to secure an Esperanto correspondent in almost any portion of the world. Three international congresses have been held, the last at Cambridge, England, in 1907. At these gatherings representatives of more than twenty nationalities were present, all proceedings being conducted in Esperanto.

March 19, 1907, Dr. Emile Mauchamp, a French citizen, was murdered by Mohammedan fanatics in Marakesh, or Morocco City, Morocco, and other Europeans were attacked. The hostility of the natives had been aroused by the attempts of the French to establish a wireless telegraph system between the coast cities and by other acts which they resented. The French government in order to obtain reparation sent Gen. Lyautey with 3,000 troops to occupy Oudjah, a Moroccan town near the Algerian frontier, and this was successfully accomplished March 29. At the same time a demand was made upon the sultan for an indemnity and May 6 it was announced that he had agreed to comply. The French demand included the settlement of all claims, the carrying out of the Algeciras agreement and the punishment of various

secure his release. July 31 Moroccan tribesmen raided the town of Casablanca, killing the native guards and seven Europeans. Steps were at once taken by France and Spain, acting under the Algeciras convention, to restore order. Both powers sent warships and landed troops. The latter were attacked by the Moors, whereupon Casablanca was bombarded, many men being killed. The city was occupied jointly by the French and Spanish, but most of the fighting was done by the former. Several battles were fought, in which the Moorish tribesmen lost heavily. Gen. Drude commanded the French land forces and Rear-Admiral Philibert the naval forces.

By the end of September most of the tribes had accepted the peace terms offered them, agreeing to disarm and indemnify all who had sustained losses through their uprising. In the meantime Mulai Hafid had proclaimed himself sultan at Morocco City and war between him and Sultan Abdul-Aziz began.
