The simplest public railroad now

Atami and Odawara, in. Japan. It is

man power. Every car has seats for

A train consists of two or three cars,
and is drawn uphill by half a dozen
coolies; at the top of the incline the
coolies jump on the platforms, and
the train runs down the terminus by
gravity, with the speed of an express.
It is said that there has never been
an accident on this road.

voted to give to the officers and men
who fought under Dewey at Manila
are not especially
artistici The medal
itself 14 not a thing
of beauty, but it
means a lot to the
man who has the
right to wear it.
The medal is a
five pointed star,
each point ending
In a trefoil. On the
6tar is a circle "of

Joins It to the clasp.
This medal of honor corresponds to
the English Victoriaross and the Iron
Cross of Germany and Prussia, but It
is a fact that either of the latter Is bet
ter known to Americans than the em
blem with which our own country rec
ognizee valor. Perhaps one reason for
this is that we are not In the habit of
paying much attention to medals and
decorations i in this country. Another
may be thai we have sometimes ques
tioned the manner iu which these uied'
als have been awarded In times past.
Occasionally there has been a suspicion
of the presence of a political pull In
these awards.
Yet In spite of the drawbacks' to Its
reputation which the delay in award
ing it and the way in which some of iti
wearers have acquired It cause tie
medal of honor is' an honorable decora
tion and has been won honorably by
most of those who have it. Most of
.them won It for such feats as capturing
battleflags, though one soldier got It
because ke was on the guard of honof
over Lincoln's cofiln. The Twenty-sev
enth Maine Regiment received the rued
al as a whole. Its time was up, and
it, volunteered to remain and take par
In the battle of Gettysburg. For thiJ
and its bravery at the fight every sur

Modern Longevity.
Iu the seventeenth century the aver
age duration of life was only thirteen
jears; in the eighteenth, twenty; In the
present century it is thirty-six. This
great increase in the average length
of human life Is not, however, an in
dication of an increase In the vigor
and vitality of the race, but it is rath
er due to the fact that cholera, the
black plague and other - devastating
scourges which formerly overspread
whole countries at frequent intervals,
sometimes several times during a cen
tury, haye been brought more and
more under control by improved pub
lic sanitation and quarantine. The
x-eal test of the vitality of the race is
not the average length of human life,
but the proportion of centenarians
The proportion of persons who have
attained great age Is without doubt at
the present time yiuch less than ever
before In the a history of the world.
