A REMARKABLE Observation-Disclosures
er invention pertaining to electricity,
quite as wonderful as the telephone,
though, perhaps, less calculated to attract
popular notice, has recently been secured
by patent in the United States to Swed-
ish inventor. The apparatus is an auto
matte railway signal, which enables the
station officials to know the precise posi-
ton of any train at any time; it gives
sound signals to the engineer, and at the
station before the train enters, thus ena-
bling switches to be cleared and arranged
in time to prevent accident. II two
trains approach each other, whether run
ming in the same or opposite directions,
the engineers of both trains receive sig
nails in time to prevent collision, and the
station people are at the same time auto
matically y Informed of the position of both
trains. Any train may, by stopping at
certain points of the road where "con-
tracts are arranged, open telegraphic
communication with the stations at both
ends of the route, and two trains may in
the same manner telegraph to each other.
A complete record is automatically kept
at each station of the speed of each train
and of the exact time it enters or leaves
the station. Stop signals may be sent at
any time from the stations to any train
while moving. The apparatus may be
arranged to send stop or danger signals
to trains approaching swinging bridges
which are not properly locked and tas-
tened When this invention shall have
been generally introduced, railroad acci-
dents will be almost impossible Chicdgo
.J0uyuui 0f Commerce.

Education and Agriculture.

If knowledge is power" as the civil
lied world admits, the agriculturists OF
the nations have but to educate them
selves in order to supersede the power of
the trades and professions, and give laws
to their respective countries. This would
be placing the "bottom rail on top"
since nearly all trades and professions
rose into power and respectability before
the plodding uneducated farmer
Throug all generations of the past he
has been the foot ball, the servant of aris-
tocracy, the staff of bread to supporting
his country, but too humble in rank to
share its dignities. That long period
ended, however, in the birth of the great
republic. Henceforth all men were to be
considered as "born equal" and as pos
sessing "unalienable rights" Hence.
forth men were to be free to pursue their
happiness, and without the trammels of
hereditary titles and government prefer
ments. Henceforth intellect and genius
was at liberty to shine from whatever
rank or condition it might spring. I'm
der these favorable circumstances, agri-
culture made powerful advance in the
new world, and although it has not done
all we had right to expect, in view OF
the great advance in the arts and sciences,
vet it has now climbed to sufficient
height for its votaries to lift up their eyes
and behold something of the glory of its
eliminating power. The establishment
of agricultural bureaus and colleges in
the States, the liberal appropriations al
ready and yet to be made by the nation
and the States for the development of its
branches, and the honorable character it
is daily strengthening by acquisitions
from all classes of society, warrants the
belief that the time is not far distant
when the supreme power and governing
influence Of the United States will reside
in the agricultural population. At pres
ent, though possible, this is not the fact.
While the agriculturists are in vast ma
iority, the trades and politicians actually
rule the country; hence its turbulence
and uncertainty. Politicians scheme for
promotion and trades seek for monopoly.
The conflicts of these dcmoralize and
render unstable. On the other hand,
agriculture demands peace, and fourishes
only in a stable, peaceful government.
This fact guarantees pacific rule by agri-
culture, and prosperity follows as the
handmaid of peace. Now, in view of
this bright future, it is the duty of the
farmer to give the highest consideration
to the advantages of education. His
children should be educated at all haz-
ards. They should be taught the sciences
in all their perfection, as fitting prepa-
ration for the high destiny before them.
1t is by the aid Of these that agriculture
is to be carried to its highest perfection,
and it is by the triumphs of agriculture
that the farmer is to take first rank in
the classes of society.
