An Engines Remarkable Record,

A Philadelphia inventor named
James Reagan claims to have run an
engine continuously for one week
over the Philadelphia Division of the
Reading Railroad without changing
the lire in the furnace, and that moth
ing of the kind was ever attempted or
accomplished before. The invention,
it is believed, will revoIutionize the
old time methods used in firing loco,
motives if the railroad companies
adopt it, and inventor Reagan's per.
formances are the talk of every engi.
neer on the road. By using a patent
shaking CRATE the unheard-of record
was made of running q locomotive
drawing heavy freight trains for 1876
hours including long stops on the
road, which the engineers dread on
account of the way their fires clog, it
often requiring thirty-five or forty min
utes to renew them in order to pro-
ceed. Mr.. Reagan stuck to the engine
throughout the week Of experiment,
scarcely sleeping. All the food he got
was what the engineers gave him and q
few oysters secured during short stop
in Philadelphia. "The mageitude Of
the undertaking." says Mr.. Reagan,
''was such that every one doubted the
ability to make one trip. The quality
OF the coal was oven below the ordina-
ry used by the road. The test was
made as severe as possible, and the
victory is more signal on that account.
Besides the fast gain in time there is
equally as much saved in fuel: After
the first fire was lit I did not burn a
piece of wood as big a match stick,
and it usually takes one-quarter of q
cord to start the furnace after the fire
begins 20 clog and a cleaning out be-
comes necessary"

Our Small Colleges.

Mr.. Bryce, in his American Com.
monweslth." says an excellent word for
our hundreds of small colleges Some
of our own people are :nclined 10 sneer
at these humble places of learning, and
recommend that they be abolished,
swallowed up by the greet universities,
etc.
Dir. Bryce says they get hold of multi
tude of poor men who could never go to
one of the great universities at distance
from their home. They thus fill tho
country with a learning, not Of the
highest, to be sure, but still higher than
the public schools. They strike often
times the spark in the breast Of the
country youth that kindles in later times
to such love of scientific pursuits and
original investigation that the youth be-
comes one of the famous men of his day.
Our great men In all fields arc nearly
always those who were born and grown
In the country, near to the heart Of ua-
ture. 1t is these s,rong, ambitious
youths that the country college reaches
particularly. Ex President Andrew d.
White speaks in high commcndation Of
the small colleges, calling them feeders

sympathy that draws near to the weak,

A Now Ern Ii AnriculIurr.

There are hints that revolution ia
about to come in agriculture through
the discovery that the free nitrogen of
the atmosphere isabsorbed and "fxed'
by the soil itself under suitable conGi-
tions. Plants need phosphoric acid,
potash and nitrogen. The first two
are in reach, but the third has been
supposed to be elusive. 1t has been
the general teaching that the nitrogen
OF the atmosphere plays no part in
vegetation. Now M. Berthelot and
others affirm that it does. They have
demonstrated, they say, that the free
nitrogen Of the atmosphere is "fixed''
and made available: as a fertilizer "bv
the cooperation ofmineral matter and
OF living organisms in tho soil" The
fact explains, it is said, why it is "CD
that spade husbandry is much more
productive than p;owing; (2) that land
can be enriched by simply plowing
under its own product, and (3) that
summer following, with frequent stir
ring, actually enriches the soil" Pull
Verization of the soil increases, it
seems, its capacity to absorb nitrogen.
The method of centrifugal tillage now
being developed in the West supplies,
it is claimed, All ideal modus operandi
for the new fertilization. 1t pulyeriZes
tho soil and aeratcS il in the manpu-
lation, and then confines q mass of air
in its midst for the slower process OF
absorption and digestion by earth and

The Success c ( the Alliance.

The farmers are deriving great
benefit from the Alliance. 1t has saved
them in Georgia alone 100000 in o
single year on the purchase of tertili-
zers. It has lowered the cost Of aim ost
every article they use, food, clothing,
farm implements, wagons, buggies,
and even the few luxuries that Geor-
gia farmers have been able to enioy.
1t has taught the farmers the use of
the most powerful weapon in the
struggles of peace or war-.co- opera
tion. Divided; they were the easy
prey of the monopolists and trusts; but
united in phalanx 100000 strong,
with cne wing resting on the shores
Of 0fMaine, the other on the Pacific coast,
the farmers have become q power.
They are the people, and they must
rule. The membership is steadily in
creasing, and it's field of usefulness
steadily broadening, Our reports from
the South Carolina Alliance are par
ticnlarly encouraging. The order is
making rapid progress in that State,
and has, as the Georgia Alliance, q
settled policy of uplifting tho people
and protecting them from the designs
of the monopolies and trusts: The
Alliance has good work before it. IT
has accomplished much, but it has

Raw Oysters ScIf-Digestiye,

"Forthcrgill on Indigestion" in
speaking of the oyster being cutcn hab-
itually and by reference in tho Iaw or
uncof bed state says: "It is interesting
to kdow that there is sound physi-
illogical reason at the bottom of this
preference. The fawn-colorcd mass
which constitutes the dainty Of the oys-
ter is its liver, and this is little less than
a mass of glycogen associated with the
glycogcn, but withheld from actual
contact with it during life, is its al.
propriate digestive ferment.-the hcpa
tic diastace. The mere crushing be-
tween the teeth brings these two bodies
together, and the glycogen is at once
digested, without other help, by its own
diastace. The oyster in the upcookcd
state, are merely warmed, is, in fact,
self'digestive. But the advantage of
this provision is wholly lost by cooking,
for the heat employed Immediately de-
stroys the associated fcrment, and q
cooked oyster has to be digested like
any other food, by the eaters own di-
gestive powers.-Hall's Journal OF

The Journal has already published
the fact that Western men are laying

MIR. Peck, one of the claimants, has

last night, and the old gentleman was
looking exceedingly wan and pale;
When questioned abort his trip to
Camden, Mr.. Peck said:
"Oh, mover lot me hear the name of

drew of TO one side and held q whis-

they came back and told me it wasn't

me to take the nearest route out of the
County limits.
