A PLEASURE PARTY EARLY yesterday
morning four. horse turnout, filled with la
dies and gentlemen some fifteen or so IN
number-was noted vending its way through
the northwestern suburbs of the city. The
party were bent on spending the day in
shady hooks among the hills and along the
gushing streams of the upper Potomac.
They drove leisurely along through Airing
ton, over the Aqueduct bridge and up to
Cabin John bridge, which they reached
about half past ten. They carried camp
eouippaee and cooking utensils and before
noon the ladies' had fine collation., which
was eaten with relish and much enioyed.
The party set of to catch some fish. They
caught some bass. some pike and some
perch from the sizs of n backing box up.
They also got caught in the rain. and one
yenturesoms lady OF the party. while
crossing some of the mossy rocks, caught a
''crabn and slid off into the swift-eoing
stream. She was drawn out more frighten-
ed than injured. though quite serious ly
bruised by the fall, the effects Of which are
lingering to day BY the time the party got
to the hotel at the bridge they were doused
and drsnched, and returned home just be-
fore nine O'Clock last night. They say they
had q good time, however.

BY SODA POWER.

At the Baldwin locomotive
works, Philadelphia, there are in
course Of construction four loco
motives which are designed to run
by soda, which takes place of fire
nnder the boiler. The engines are
now nearly finished and will be
shipped within two weeks to Min
neapols, Mimi, and are to be run
Oh the streets of that city, where
steam engines are forbidden. The
engine is about sixteen feet long,
entirely boxed in, with no visible
smokestack or pipes, as there is no
exhaust or refuse. The boiler is
of copper, 81 inches in diameter
and rs feet long, having tubes
Hunning through it as in steam
boilers. Inside the boiler will be
placed five tons Of soda, which
upon being damped by jet Of
steam, produces an intense heat.
In about six hours the soda is thor
oughly saturated, when the action
ceases. A stream of superheated
Steam from a stationary boiler is
then forced through the soda,
which drives out the moisture and
the soda is ready for use again.
The exhaust steam from the cylin-
ders is used to saturate the soda
and by this means all refuse is
used. These engines are the first
OF their kind that have been built
Hl this country. They will have
the same power as those used on
the New York elevated roads.
Soda engines are used in Berlin
and other European cities very
successfully, and they also traverse
the st. Gothard tunnel under the
Alps, where the steam engines
cannot be used, because the tun-
mel cannot be ven tilated so as to
carry off the noxious gases gener-
ated by a locomotives. F. Ru-

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGES.

Washington, May S.-W. 0. Atwate, in
charge of the work at the experiment sta
tions established by the agricultural depart
ment, is preparing bulletin, which will he
published this year, giving a sketch of the
progress of education in the agricultural
colleges and schools.
1t is acknowledged that the purpose for
which the agricultural colleges were estab
lished in the several states, and to which
the government contributed by liberal
grants of land and money, has not been
realized. The colleges do not educate men
for the farms, bat for the professions, and
the tendency of their teachings has been tn
draw young men from the farms, instead OF
fitting them for work on them. The curri-
culum, in most cases, is too expensive for
the average farmers son to meet. C>nse'
quently, that class for whom the colleges
were designed have received almost abso-
lutely no benefit from their existence.
In connection with the state university
of Minnesota, an agricultural school was
opened last fall the course of study COM
prlslng two years OF IWenty-tour weeks
each. The graduates of the common dis
trict schools of the state are qualified to
enter. and they are taught the practical
things of farm life, in addition to the literary
branches of learning. The school had been
opened bat few weeks when its accommo-
dations were all taken, while the agricultu-
raj college proper has been struggling along
for years with hardly enough students to
form single class.
At the Indian and colored schools of
Hampton, Va, supported by the govern
ment even a more thorough course of agri-
cultural instruction is pursued. and nearly
one hundred pupils are engaged in it.
The experiment stations of the depart
ment are located at all of these schools, and
because of the gre It practical benefit accru-
ing, the bulletin will strongly advocate the
extension of the system.
Secretary Rusk is also deeply interested
in the establishment of short winter course
of lectures to young men on the farms,
upon topics related to the successful conduct
of their labors.

GLADsToNE's present good feel.

atones for his unfaith in its per.

Writing of the centennial occasion
