T V- Corbiillb (gajctte. BV SODA l'OWEIi. At the Baldwin locomotive worfcs, Philadelphia, there are in course of construction four loco motives which are designed to ran by sods, which takes plae of fiie ttivder the boiler. The engines are now nearly finished and will be shipped within two weeks to Min neapols, Minn., and are to be run on the streets of that city, where steam engines are forbidden. The engine is about sixteen feet long, entirely boxed in, with no visible smokestack or pipes, as there is no exhaust or refuse. The boiler is of copper, 8 inches in diameter and. 15 feet long, having tubes winning through it as in steam boilers. Inside the boiler will be placed five tons of soda, which upon beina; damped by a jet of pteam, produces an intense heat. Ill about six hours the soda is thor oughly saturated, when the action ceases. A stream of superheated efeam from a stationary boiler is tnen forced through the soda, which drives out the moisture aiid the 6oda is ready for use again. The exhaust steam from the cylin ders is used to saturate the soda and by this means all refuse is used. These engines are the first ol their kind that have been built 5 ihis country. They will have the same power as those used on -the New York .elevated roads. Soda engines are used in Berlin and other European cities very successfully, and they also traverse the St. Gothard tunnel under the Alps, where the steam engines cannot be used, because the tun nel cannot be ventilated so as to oarry off the noxious gases gener al ed by a locomotive. S. F. Eu rjiral Press, Gladstone's present good feel ing toward this American republic atones for his unfaith in its per petuity during the great civil war. Writing of the centennial occasion just past he eloquently says: "The statesmen of the American revo lution have taken their place for aye, and among the greatest politi al instructors of the world. George Washington was their ac knowledged and illustrious head, and to him and to them I have long felt tliat I owed no trivial part of my own public education. Long, without limit of length, may that Union flourish, under the blessing and favor of God, with the foundation of which their panaes are inseparably 'associated." A man with the euphoneous name of Schweinforth, is imposing wbon a number of people in Rock ford, Ills., to a degree that he finds to be very profitable. They . are worshiping him under the halluci nation that he is the Christ. He started in in Rockford a few years Ago without a nickel, and is now declared to be worth $50,000. There are about 4000 building and loan associations in this coun try that are greatly responsible for the large number of comfoi ta ble homes owned by the working people. The aggregate annual dues of these associations reach the enormous sum of $G5,000,000. and their accumulated savings amount to $300,000,000. It is claimed that the work on Jhe Panama canal has greatly mit igated the heat of that country's climate. The trees on the heights of Calibra have been cut down and sixty ieet of the mountain sliced off, thus permitting the trade winds to sweep, across the cut.

Children Cry for; AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES. Washington, May 8. W. O. Atwate, in charge of the work at the experiment sta tions established by the agricultural depart ment, is preparing a bulletin, which will be published this ycr.r, giving a sketch of the progress of education in the agricultural colleges and schools. It is-aekuowledged that the purpose for which the agricultural colleges were estab lished in the several states, and to which the government contributed by liberal grants of land and money, has not beeu realized. The colleges do not educate men for the farms, but for the professions, and the tendency of their teachings has been t draw young men from the I arms, instead of fitting them for work on them. The curri culum, in most cases, is too expensive for the average farmer's son to miet. Conse quently, that clas3 for whom the colleges were designed have received almost abso lutely uo benefit from their existence. In connection with the state university of Minnesota, an agricultural school was opened last fall, the course of study com prising two years' of twenty-four weeks each. The graduates of the common dis trict schools of the state are qualified to enter, ami they are taught the practical things of farm life, in addition to the literary branches of learning. The school had been, opened bat a few weeks when its accommo dations were all taken, while the agricultu ral college proper has been struggling along for years with hardly enough students to form a single class. At the Indian and colored schools of Hampton, Va., supported by the govern ment even a more thorough course of agri cultural instruction is pursued, and nearly one hundred puplis are engaged in it. The experiment stations of the -department are located at all of these schools, and because of the gre it practical benefit accru ing, the bnlletiir will strongly advocate the extension of the system. Secretary Rusk is also deeply interested in the establishment of a short winter course of lectures to young men on the farms, upon topics related to the successful conduct of their labors. RESOLUTIONS. At a regular meeting of Cd. "E" 2d Reg., O. N.
