The United States is the only one of the

out the military to guard against possible la

when the system of conducting school ex-
aminations by means of written answers to
certain written or printed questions came
into use, 1t was generally accepted as well
come Improvement over the old fashioned
method of standing scholars up in row and
firing questions at them, as much to confuse
and perplex them as to ascertain the depth
of their knowledge 1t was an Improvement
unquestionably, and for the last dozen years
more or less, both examiners and examined
have been enjoying comparative fairness on
both sides. This happy time appears to
have passed, however, and henceforth, as
heretofore, examinations will simply be duels
of ways that are dark and tricks that are
vain. The examiners began it perhaps by
by great pretensions to secresy in the print
ing OF question papers, the searching Of
desks for cribs" before the services COM
menced, the inspection Of cuffs and blotters
for short hand notes Of difficult points, and
the like. The students, however, have un-
dertaken to glib refined gold and seem to
have been partially successful. In the city
OF New Haven recently seven high school
scholars were brought before the committee
and severely reprimanded" for bribing an
employe Of the printing office. which was
furnishing the examination questions, to send
them some inkless impressions of the same
on the night before the day of the test.
Five students of the Canadian college of
Pharmacy at Toronto seem to have rather
outdone this. The Connecticut students
drew the line at ink. They could not quite
make peace with their consciences long
enough 20 ask for full printed copies of the
questions. Ink it seems was the means Of
bringing the Canadian into trouble. A de-
tective received letter from student under
"a fictitious name offering to pay him we'll II
by 'fair or FOUL means, he would procure for
the writer and four other students copies Of
the examination on May 18th. The letter
gave the names andaddresses of the exam
liners, who live in Toronto, London, Brant.
ford and Barre, and stated where the papers
were being printed. 1t also stated that if the
desired papers could be obtained the stu
dents would pay $40 each, or $780, to the
detective for them, and that the printer
would also be Squared" If necessary. The
detective turned the letter over to the col
lege authorities after ascertaining who the
students were, the luckless young men
were brought before the faculty.
The students said that they were all about
to write for their final examination, and, as
may be imagined from the high average
standing now required of the college gradrl-
ates they were not at all certain of success at
the coming examinations. They stated that
an opportunity to get a copy of the examina-
ton papers was a terrible temptation to
them, and that without fully considering the
position it would place them in they yielded.
A few more such occurrences will probably
hasten the abolition of all stated tests and
will make daily averages determined by the
teachers from each days recitation the basis
for diploma at graduation.

The action Of the Boston board Of steam

The actIOh OF INC bOstOh DOard OF Steam-
boat inspectors in granting pilots license
to Mrs. Eliza E. Pool of Chelsea, for the

among newspapers. 1t is believed to be the
first pilots license granted to woman in
New England, but Is not as has been quite
generally stated. the first so given in the
country. There are two licenses In force at
the present time on the Mississippi in the

NEW INVENTION.
A Patent Filler For Railroad
 Tanks.


 l A public test df the Layman- Ric, patent water drawer for filling railroas l tanks-was given on tho afternoon Of tn, 18th inst, at the Whig Greek water tank on the Dardanclle and RussellvilIt railroad. The apparatus is as rimpls as 1t Is complete and practical, consist. Ing of a derrick about 40 feet high erected over we'll Of water. On one side weight. after the manner of q pile driver, is suspended by wire ca bic, which passes up over wheel on top of tue derrick, the other end pass ing down around cylinder, and from thence out through wheel to slide on a single railroad rail which runs parallel to the railroad track and about I2 or I5 inches from it. On the other side of the derrick is large iron buck ct which slides in two grooves. con- tr0lled by wire cable which also pass- es over wheel at the top of the der- rick. thence down around the cylinder to which the weight Is attached, the reverse way only, so that when the weight ascends, the bucket descends. The bucket holds sufficient quantity of water to fill the tank of the tender of locomotive. There is a well-b braced
 
 the tender, which is released hr spring letting 1t down horizontally 70 the track, extending out from the track far enough to strike against the slide on the rail to which the wire cable is attached. Tho momentum of the train pushes this slide along the rail, pulling the iron weight up to the top of the derrick and allowing the bucket to descend in- f,k kI> gall cf A. u Is made in halves, which are forced up either side, which permits the bucket to be filled instantly. The locomotive tho rail and the iron weight being a little heavier than the bucket, descends which draws the bucker up to the top of the derrick, a stop on the side of tho bucket strikes against brace which presses the stop down, to which is at tached wire. and opens valve in the side of the bucket, emptying the water into the railroad tank, from which pass- ing locomotives take water in the usual way.
 This apparatus dispenses with the pump and man to attend to 1t, as Is required at present. Passing trains draw all the water, and 1t can be done by trains going in either direction.
 This Is the first machine constructed by the company and proved a success in every respect, giving entire satis- faction, not only to those interested in the interprise, but eliciting the hearty approval of General Manager Bourland and the corps of employees of the D. & R. Ky.
 The machine will prove matter of great economy to the railroad world, and dispense with the stationary en- zine and pump at every railroad tank.
 Dr. J. P. Webb came up from Little Rock to witness the test, and is pleased with the machine, satisfied with it's and thinks it success.
 It will doubtless prove fortune to it's inventors, and the DEMOCRAT con- graduates them upon their enterprise.
