The Cxowen Turbine Wheel.-MR. ED 1ToR-The invention of the turbine wheel
 was long stride toward perfection in utili- zing water as motive power; but the va rious Improvements that have been made in these wheels within few years, have rendered them as much superior to those
 first manufactured ss the steam engine of the present day is to those of half century ago. Among those who have spent much time, labor and money in improving the turbine wheel is Mir. Wm. A. Crowell, one of the proprietors of the Barnard Hardware Manufacturing establishment at Lime Rock, Conn, and believe he has been
 pre-eminently successful in having pro- duced wheel which will afford greater power from given quantity of water than any other turbine wheel manufactured.
 The evidence upon which my belief rests is not based upon theoretical distractions or upon knowledge alone of the mechan- cal devices which he has employed in per fecting the wheel, but almost entirely upon it's practical workings. Several months ago the Malleable Iron company of this town resolved to put in a new turbine wheel in place of the old one, which failed to do the work required, and after consult ing with various manufacturers of turbine wheels, and examining the claims of the superior merits which each made for his own manufacture, they contracted with Mir. Crowell to put in one of his own, and recently while in conversation with Mir.
 Prayer, the superintendent and manager of the above works, questioned him in re- gard to the workings of the new turbine wheel, and he replied substantially as fol- lows: Itworks splendidly; it does more work than the manufacturers of other

Those Truant Scholars-ED. NEws.- You undoubtedly remember that at our last annual town meeting there was a com mittee on truancy elected, consisting of the first selectman, the sheriff and the sec retary of the board of school visitors. Now those above-named gentlemen must know what their duties are, and they must know that they are not performing the same.- The law is very plain and cannot be misun- stood. In some of the school districts it is actually unsafe for people to travel on ac- count of the large number of boys that are running wild. As two of the above-men- toned committee are members of the board of school visitors, why do they not instruct the teachers in the different districts to re port to them any of their scholars that are not regular in their attendance at school. AS our schools are entirely in the hands of the school visitors, it would appear natural that they would have the law carried out.

polar subscription Fund.

"a Stranger" sends us one dollar with the
request that it be added To the fund which it WAS
proposed to raise for the procurement of break
fast for the tramps who find lodgment in the
City Hall cells. As this effort has fallen through,
or at least has never yet assumed definite shape,
we will transfer the amount sent to the Union
Aid Society to be expended for the relief of the
poor and in doing 30, we hereby express a readi-
ness, in compliance with request, to open dol
lar subscription list in our business Office for the
pame purpose. Such fund WAS opened in
New York and other cities, few weeks ago, for
the benefit of the grasshopper sufferers in Kansas
and Nebraska, and 1t has already reached to
thousands of dollars. May we not hope that the
Gberality of Wilmingtonians is sufficient to rsse
a respectable amount in this small way for the
relief of the poor of our own city? The list is
open and dollar subscriptions will be thankfully
received in this behalf.

DESPITE the sueers which we're freely

DESPITE the sueers which were freely
bestowed upon the suez Canal during the
progress Of construction, it has proved a
great success, and the English especially,
who did their best to throw discourage
lucnt in the way Of N, de Lesseps, have
found the waterway which owes its
existence to his skill and Pertinacity a
mighty handy way Of reaching India
without going all the way around the
Cape Of Good Hope. A ship canal through
the narrow isthmus by which North and
South America are connected would be a
work OF even greater Importance to the
world than the cut through the lsthmus
Of suez, and It is to be hoped that some
Of the surveying parties sent out by the
United States Government may succeed
in finding practicable route. The naval
officers who have been engaged in survey
ing what Is called the Napipi tesouth
Of Panama, have returned and have
made very favorable report, which in.
dictates that they are strong in the belief
that they have succeeded in discovering
the best line for the canal that has yet
been investigated. Whether their good
opinion Of the Napipi route will be sus-
tanned by further investigation remains
to be seen, but there seems to be no doubt
that there are several points along the
isthmus where such canal as is desired
could be located, and we scarcely doubt
that some one Of these will be adopted
and the digging Of the canal commenced
before a great many years. Such work
as ship canal through the Lthmus oil
Panama will of course cost a great deal
Of money, but II it Is success it will be
mine Of wealth to the owners, and dc
much towards enabling the United States
to command the China and Japan trade
