Different Kinds of Engines.

To the mind Of the average citizen and
the uninltiated the term Mogul, as APP
piled to locomotives, gives the impression
that these pieces OF machinery are mon
sters in size and power. The term as
applied in reality refers to the arrange
ment and number Of the driving wheels
and the pony truck (rhe small wheels In
front of the lOcOmOtiye). The Mogul
engine is one which has three driving
wheels on each side, six in all, and only
one small wheel on each side the pony
truck. Those engines which have three
driving wheels on each side and two
wheels on each side Of the pony truck are
called stem wheelers." For passenger
service the eight-wheeler il almost eX-
clusively used. These differ from the
ten wheelers in having only two driving
wheels on each side, and those larger
than the other class. which are used
principally for foreign freight trains. A
cOnsOlidator, or consolidation engine, is
one that has four driving wheels on each
side, and only one on each side Of the
pony truck.
An engine with five driving wheels on
each side and one on each side Of the pony
truck is called a Deoapod, and is used in
mountainous countries, or where the
grades are very heavy.

OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS,
PEDAGOGUE AND PUPIL READY
FOR WORK TOMORROW.

All of the Schools to Have Full Glasses
soeues in the Book stOres-The Dealers
Not Gi ginG Presents this YeRr-Pretty
Girls and Bright Lads to Jump from
vacation Pleasures into Hars Study.
To the average school boy tomorrow
will be the saddest day Of all the year.
The ten weeks allotted for vacation speed
by more quickly than any other ten OF the
ffty-two. There is a general impression
among the small boy that the days during
vacation are only about four hours long.
A month OF vacation TO the school boy
does not seem any longer than single
week of school.
The reason that the first Monday In Oc-
tober is an especially dreary day to the
bows is because the whole OF the new
school year is ahead Of them.
w. Shakespeare, Of Stratlsrd-on-
Avon, Eng, once spoke OF tine
whining schoolboy with hts satchel
and shining morning face, creep
ing like a snail unwillingly TO school,"
from which it is evident that there has
been little evolution IN the nature OF the
genus schoolboy in the last 300 years.
The pupils manage to extract a little
fun and pleasure in selecting and buying
the books required for the new year.
Usually there is rush at the book stores
and the rivalry among the dealers has
been sharp. This year the dealers con-
oluded not to eXpend their small profits
on the books for presents, for they found
that the scholars, business-like,
distributed their patronage, and in so do
ing got present from each dealer.
Being left without any inducement other
than whatever there may be Of difference
~ p.ff Arau a. q.
have adopted q new principle in making
their purchases.
Yesterday an enterprising dealer tried
10 inveigle a party Of small school girls
to buy from his store. One miss, the
spokesman of the party, said they in
tended to buy from another dealer.
''Whyf" asked the first.
because Mr. - goes to our church"
was the innocent reply.
Supt. Baker has been busily engaged
during the past three days issuing cards
or admission, and the prospects for full
schools are better than ever before. In
fact, many OF the buildings and class
rooms are too small to accommodate the
large classes without crowding the chill
dren together in close quarters. The high
schools will both have full classes.
Everything is In shape for the opening
on Monday" said the Superintendent
Yesterday. 1.-The teachers are all ready,
and even are prepared for a good years
work."
The Georgia Military Academy will
