The present year will witness the If
:ieth anniversary of the tonic sofia sys-
tenn, which has done so much, and, we
may safely say, will do so much more m
the future, to spread the knowledge and
the love of music among the people. Mr..
Spencur Curwen, son of the inventor
and most energetic propagation of the
system, seizes the opportunity for a very
interesting review of its history and
characteristics in Good Words. Colby
received, disparaged and even derided in
many influential quarters, it is now able
to confound its oppohents by the incon-
testable evidence of its fruits.
AS Mr.. Curwen observes, in this
jubilee year there are hundreds of must
clans who have successfully climbed the
ladder his father placed for them-bachs-
lors and doctors of music, fellows of the
College of Organists, associates of the
Royal Academy of Music, yocalists and
performers of repute. Mr.. Ben Davis,
not many years ago, was singing in tonic
sofia choirs, and he constantly advises
opera singers who wish to read at sight
to learn the system.
A doctor of music who graduated the
other day at n of our universities testi-
fes that without the tonic sofia system
he does not think he could possibly ave
lone the work. Such authorities as DIR.
Helmholtz, of Berlin; Sir John Herschell,
Mr.. Bosanquet, General Thompson, DR..
Bridge, Mr.. Henry Leslie, Lord Ray
leigh, Mr.. A. J. Ellis and many others
not less noteworthy have given their
to the system.

One morning as the accommodation
rushed into Macoupin station, Macoupin
county, on the Chicago and Alton, the
engineer saw ut a distance what he sup
posed was n white dog on the track. but
when nearly on it what was his horror to
discover that it was a little child about
four years old playing in the center of
the track. Reversing his engine and put
ting on the-airbrakes, he e~ndeavored to
stop in time to save the little one. In the
meantime the child, who was apparently
down on its hands and knees, looked up
and saw the huge monster almost upon it.
Terrified, the little one did the best it
could. Instead of attempting to rise and
run it crouched down fiat and hid its
head close to the ground. The engine
and one car passed over it before the
train was stopped, and on taking the
child out it was found that with the ex-
ception of three fingers of one hand be-
ing cut off at the ends it was otherwise
un%injured. The engineer, Barker, was
so unstrung by the accident that he re-
tired to a car while his fireman was run

A startling electrical display occurred

of the iron hosting bar of the awning
and tried to raise himself up in order to
look into the window. There is an cleo

the awning became connected with it.
In an instant flashes of electricity flew
out of the boys feet with ~detonations

pletely charged with the fluid and could
not let go his hold. A b~ystander caught
hold of him and pulled him away, but

There are many persons who think it
about time to conduct the commence

English instead of in Latin. The con-
tinuance of the ancient custom caused
much amusement for those present. for
when President Eliot closed his Latin
remarks by inviting the senior class to
noun the platform to be presented with
their degrees, no IL man stirred.
When the invitation was repeated,
Chief Marshal Cumnock started up the
platform steps, but Il pull from behind,
given by n less sanguine classmate, was
too much for him, and he turned to go
down again. a broad motion of the
hand from President Eliot given in Eng
lish) finally induced him to continue,
and thus the class followed to receive

A most successful test has been made
of the use OF ammonia as a motive power
to displace steam. The test was the first
that has ever been made on a marine en-
CINE, and the trial was most satisfactory.
An ammonia engine plant has been fitted
out on the tug E. w. Hartley, which
made n trip up and down the river, sub
jecting the new scheme to a practical
test. Its workings are novel and inter
esting, not only to the mechanical and
scientific circles, but also to the laymen
of the industrial world.
An ordinary engine can be converted
into an ammonia engine simply by the
addition Of a"generator," whichis much
like n boiler. Steam is used simply for
the purposes of heating the aqua am
monia in the generator. The heated am
monia expels a gas, leaving a weak solu-
ton of ammonia in the bottom of this
boilerlike affair. When, by raising the
temperature of the ammonia, sufficient
power is generated, the throttle valve is
opened and the gas passes into the cylin-
der of the engine and propels the piston
rod in every way the same as steam.
1t is here exhausted the same as steam.
but at this point the gas is cooled and
conducted pack to the generator. Be
fore it reaches the latter vessel it is car
ried by a "spray COLI to a point where
the gas comes in contact with the am
monia solution which has been rejected
from the generator, and here the solu-
ton is recharged by absorption and by
the natural affinity existing between
water and ammonia.
By this means the same body of am
monia is used constantly, exhausting
itself only to be recharged with new life
and to be returned to the generator. The
same is true of the water used. The
steam in the generator imparts its heat
to the ammonia and is thereby condensed
and carried back to the boiler to be used
again. In the ammonia engine there is
absolutely no waste.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.
