ELEVATORS FOR CANALS.
A New Invention Which Will Do Away
with Locks.

A New Invention Which VIII Do Away
with Locks.
A canal has just been constructed in
Belgium in which, instead of locks, the
boats are hoisted by elevators from
one level to another. The canal ex-
tends from the coal region in the in
terror of Belgium to Brussels, cross
ing several other canals at the same
grade so that Belgian coal can be
brought directly by boats to Paris, as
well as to all the principal towns in
Belgium and Holland AS the line
passes over a rather hilly country, vari-
Gus ascents and descents must be
made, and, to save the long delays in
cidental to passing locks, the change
of grade is made by means of hydraulic
elevators.
The boats, which measure about
seventy tons, are towed at the low
level into an immense tank with gates
which is submerged in the canal. The
gates are then closed and the tank,
which rests on the pistons of huge
hydraulic elevator, is raised to the
upper level, when connection is made
with the next section of the canal by
means of double gates, and the boat
proceeds on its way.
The lift of the elevator No. |, at
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, which is carefully
described and illustrated in lie Genie
Civil, is about fifty feet. The hy-
draulic apparatus is calculated to raise
a weight of 1,000.48 metric tons. or
considerably more than the same
number of our tons, and power is OBJ
tanned by means of steam pumps,
which force water from the canal into
pressure tanks. The apparatus is
double, so that two boats can be
handled at once, and the ascent and
descent including all the operations
of opening and shutting the gates and
receiving and discharging the boats,
occupies fifteen minutes. The cost Of
the apparatus, exclusive of earthwork
ard masonry, patents, engineering and
purch. , of land, was about $4,000.

Luckey, Tenn, Aug. 81, 1885,
Everything is quite in this neighbor-
hood this week. Several are attend
ing meeting at Mt. Zion.
We notice a piece in the last weeks
paper about broom sedge making
hay. Mr.. A. NJ. Womacl1 says he
cut a piece of clover last year in
which there was about as much
broom sedge as clover. He cut it
when the sedge was young and ten
der and cured well. He said when
he fed this to his stock they would
eat the sedge first and leave the
clover. l think if it makes such
good hay the farmers should give it
more attention.

LESSONS IN THRIFT.
Some of the Weak Points of the School
Savings Bank System.

Savings Bank System.
When attempts are made to give
what may be called practical lessons
in thrift to school children there is
some danger that moral harm may be
done to them, not so much because of
the lessons themselves as because of
the means employed to stimulate the
interest of the pupils. School savings
banks have been established in many
European schools, and Long Island
City, having adopted the system, has
had it in operation for the last three
or four years. The purpose is very
good one, that Of teaching the pupils
to be economical and thrifty, and ma
terial results of value are sometimes
reached where the small earnings of
pupils, grown to a respectable sum,
enable them to start in business after
leaving school, or are usefully en-
ployed to aid their further education
or to help their parents, or for
other good purposes. From this
point of view the school-sav-
ings bank appears to be entirely
commendable, yet one has only to read
the description of its workings, writ
ten by an indiscriminate and thought
less supporter of the new system, to
see that it may be very harmful in
other ways. Short-sighted advocates
of the system describe with some en-
thusiasm the shame of the boy or girl
who has nothing to deposit or only
few cents, the pride of those VINO put
in fifty cents or dollar, and the envy
aroused in the breasts of those less
fortunate when they see one of their
number making large deposits. 1t is
assumed that, these feelings having
been excited, the savings bank will be
made great success, each pupil put
ting away week after week as much
money as he can beg, earn and save.
But the success of the savings bank
attained by these means is at the ex-
pense of the moral character of the
pupils. The main purpose-that of
moral Trainings missed if the saw
ings bank is made successful by such
means No system to be administered
by all classes and kinds of teachers,
some with clear views of the moral pur-
poses Of the lessons, some with the idea
that the saving of money is the one OBJ
ject to be attained, and others indif-
ferent as to the results of the lesson
upon character, can rightly be expect
ed to meet with general success. 1t
may succeed in gathering large ag-
gregate of small sums and appear to
the unthinking to be doing a great
deal of good, but, if it has done this at
the expense of character, the money
gained is not an equivalent for the
harm done. Until assurance can be
given that the teachers of schools are
qualified to give lessons in morally,
they should not be called upon to ad-
minister n system that may have a
most baneful influence upon character
under the pretense of developing good
habits in the pupils. These are, prop
erly, subjects for home lessons, for
spiritual advisers, and for such teach
ers as have shown an intelligent UNI
derstanding of the small influences that
develop and build up character

ABOUT HIS BROTHER.

Several years ago my brother, who
lives with me, had very strange sore
to break out on his leg-about half
way between the body and the knee
which afterwards developed into rose
cancer. 1t resulted from bruise made
by the rubbing Of the stirrup-leather
while riding.
The cancer continued to grow until
it was about five inches long, and three
wide. The flesh sloughed off, black,
rotten and foul, and it was almost i'm
possible to procure servant that would
wait upon him, the air in the room
where he lay being so foul that it
would sicken anyone who entered.
Every physician Of any prominence in
the State was consulted, and treated
my brother without success. One doc
tor finally advised him to try Swift's
Specific 6. S. s. E; and he did so, and
used nothing else. He commenced to
improve Immediately, and after taking
several bottles was completely cured,
and since 1884, not a symptom Of the
disease has manifested itself,
