We are glad TO see that DIR. Curry, the
eloquent and able manager OF the Peabody
fund, is able to make so favorable report
of the progress OF education in the South.
Whilst others are engaged in finding fault
with or picking flaws in the educational
system that prevails in the South now,
DIR. Curry Is able TO say that educational
matters indicate most favorable progress.
This applies both to public sentiment and
public schools. Compared with ten years
ago the advance is certainly most notieea-
Bile. The most striking feature in the
great question Of education in the South is
the readiness with which the whites tax
themselves with the burdens OF educating
the colored race, who were once their pro-
perry and constituted their chief source
Of credit and capital. The North does not
appreciate fully this important fact. In
stead OF recognizing the remarkable and
self-imposed sacrifice, they content them
selves with complaints and criticisms.
The North ought TO educate the negroes

IL has long been known that zinc, when
i'm contact with iron, only preserved IL
from corrosion. A year ago Mr.. ). .. At
kinson and MIR. G. +. Henwood, OF Lon
don, taking advantage Of this fact, patented
a system OF sheathing by means OF solder
chemically combining atoms OF zinc and
tin. About three months ago steam-yacht
was subjected to the process. The zinc
sheets were attached TO the iron by dy-
namo machine, at spots about nine inches
apart, the connection being easily made by
the melted solder. The iron below was lett
quite naked, so that there might be nothing
to intercept the galyanic action. After q
cruise OF about 5000 miles the vessel is re-
ported rs perfectly clean, while the iron
below the zinc was absolutely without a
trace OF corTosion. The attachments formed
ly the solder were also so strong that in
no place were they affected by an accident
which the vessel met with. Experiments
have proved That the wear OF the zinc
amounts to between two ounces and three
ounces per square foot per annum; so that
twenty ounces OF zinc should last at that
rate from six 10 nine Years. The solder is
hast TO wear away, il being a much less
negative metal than the zinc.

The adoption Of the revised edition OF
thc Now Testament by the faculty of the
Yale Theological Seminary will have an
important influence In giving It currency
and authority In this country. The resolu-
zion II rs follows:
Whereas we believe the revised version
nf the New Testament TO be better than
any other English version, because 1t fol-
lows more exactly the Greek text as origi-
nalIy written, and Is more clear and cor
rect translation; therefore
Voted, That hereafter II be read instead
Or the version Of 1911 at morning prayers
and other devotional services Of the Yale
Theological School.

The idea set forth by writer in one Of
The magazines recently, that in the near fu-
ture there would be great changes in house,
keeping methods, seems likely to be real
lied even sooner than the most ardent adj
Yocates OF what L. called "the centrali-
cation system" anticipated. This sys-
tenn l., that fifty or more families
be provided with centralized " estab-
lishment, from which heat, light, and
power win be supplied, while the domestic
supplies Of each house will be delivered
through pneumatic tubes, common oven
and laundry being used by all. A Boston
capitalist Is now having plans drawn for a
house capable of holding twenty-five fami-
lies, In which this system viii lie intro
fluced. 1t certainly has the merit Of con-
yenience, and should prove cheaper than
the present method OF running domestic
affairs.
