motion transmitted from it through belt gear ing to the wheels of the car, the motor itself revolves, the motion being transmitted through beyel gearing. This system is the invention of Mir. Elieson. The locomotive Is similar in appearance to short tramcar, and carries secondary battery consisting of 50 E. P. s. cells. This battery is connected up with the electric motor, the motion shaft of which projects horizontally about 9 feet and carries at it's end a spur wheel which gears into a fixed circular rack. Thus, when the motor is started it is, by means of this gear ing rotated A vertical shaft is attached to the under side of the motor, carrying at its lower end level wheel which gears into one other of two similar wheels on the driving axle of the engine. This mitre gearing is fitted with a friction clutch, by means of which the locomotive can be run either back ward or forward. The 50 cells are equal to 2S0 amperes, and as the average consumption is stated to be 45 amperes per hour, it fol lows that there is good six hours supply of power carried. The machinery is so ar- ranged that speed of eight miles an hour cannot be exceeded

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.


 In the annual message of the governor of South Carolina much attention is paid to the subject of education. South Carolina is evil dently making good progress in educational matters. During the school year just closed the number of pupils enrolled in the public schools of the State was 178,023, of which 79, 458 were white and 99,565 were colored. The average attendance was 122, ,093, of which 55, ,664 were white and St, ,429 were colored. The number of teachers employed was 3,773, being an increase of eighty nine over the number employed during the preceding year: and the number of schools was 3,562, being an increase of eighty over the number in op eration during the year 1SS3-84. The length of the school term was three and a half months, decrease of half month. The to- tai amount of funds available for school pur- poses during the year 1sS3-S4, the latest pe- riod for which reports are attainable, was $515, ,580.38, of which $441, ,599.37 was col lected during the year, and $73, ,9S1.O1 con- sisted of unexpended balances brought for ward from previous years. The total amount expended was $42s, 419 Al. In the governors opinion the schools of South Carolina have nearly reached number proportionate to the demands of the entire population Growth in future will be only to keep abreast of the natural increase in the number of in habitants.
 In commenting to the support and foster ing of the legislature the institutions which form the University of South Carolina he reminds the legislators that the education al movement of the day is as widespread as it is irresistible, and says: The leading States of the Northwest and our sister common wealths of the South are rapidly building up their institutions of higher learning. North Carolina has recently strengthened her uni versity by largely increased appropriations and by the addition of several new chairs, and Virginia has within the last three years given over $100,OO0 to her chief seat of learning. Mississippi has granted her agri- cultural college more than S200, 1000, and AL abania and Georgia have appropriated large sums for the establishment and support of technical schools in connection with their State colleges These appropriations are sums safely invested, promising large and speedy returns to their people. Such wise and liberal legislation-the policy of the most progressive States of the day-was the rule in our own State from the early days of the century down to 1861. Never has it been more needed than now, when success in every pursuit or calling can only be achieved by in- telligent and we'll directed, or, in other words, by educated effort.
