DETAILS OF THE PI.AN


The poles are about fifty feet apart and
carry two cables, the upper being one
and one-half inches thick and the lower,
one and one-quarter. From these hang a
small car, of sufficient size to contain a
Telsa motor and seat for an engineer or
driver. This car acts as towing pro-
peller to canal boat below, a line being
fastened from the car to the bow of the
boat By, this plan it will not be
necessary to change the canal boats in any
way, whereas under all previous PROPOSE
tions for running the canal by electricity
it would have been requisite to alta.
every boat on the canal 1t is expected
that as high as fifteen miles an hour can
be obtained by this method of propulsion,
although this is matter for future regu-
laton by the state.
A proposition will soon be placed be-
fore the people of the state involving an
ment of the canal There has been more
or less opposition to the plan, and these
experiments at Tonawanda are expected
to have great influence in deciding the
battle. 1t is not expected there will be
any strong opposition to the new system
from the owners of the horse boats, who
are now beginning to see that by using
electricity they can reduce expenses. 1t
is expected that they can be supplied at a
means to them. There are about 5000
horse boats and 800 steam boats on the
canal at present. The owners of the
steam boats are, of course, apprehensive
that the adoption of electricity means the
destruction of their business.

TO ABOLISH THE CANAL MULE.
There is another feature of this same
letter from Hollands" pen that has an
interesting bearing on the transporta-
tion problem. This in relation to the
great Erie canal, which, for some years,
has been an object Of great speculation
by the inventive genius of the country.
This tremendous water highway has now
become too slow as means of com,nuni-
cation, and it has often been speculated
whether or not trolley canal boats could
not be established and used on the canal
to lessen the time of the trip between
Buffalo and Albany. The danger was
that the banks of the canal, which are of
soft earth woud hardly stand the agita-
tion of the water caused by the rapidly
revolving wheels of the electrically pro-
PEELED wheel boat. Steam packets have
been run with more or or less frequency
on the canal, but the good old fashioned
mule has held his popularity with the
navigators of the raging water course
that traYerSeS the state OF New York.
Now, however, the experiments and
thoughts in the direction of change of
power on the canal are about to be crys-
tallzed into a series of experiments to
begin on the 9th of September near
Tonawanda, which Is located just north
OF Buffalo on the Niagara river. These
experiments will take place in the pres
ence OF the governor, many of the same
oi1lcers, scientific experts and representa-
tlyes of state organizations throughout the
state, and will be directed to the testing of
the new system of propulsion of canal
boats. Instead of furnishing the current
to the boat by means of an overhead wire,
and thus giving power for the revolution
of the wheels, the new plan is to tow
the boat by means of an electrical motor
suspended in the air above the canal from
a system of stout cables that are at once
the support of the car that contains the
motor and the conductors of the current
that propels it. A contract has been made
for the erection of series of poles along
a distance OF about four miles in the
vicinity of Tonawanda. This contract
involves the expenditure of about $50, 600.
and it is estimated that to equip the
entire canal would cost upwards Of two
a nd one quarter millions. The expecta-
tions are that the first tests will be con-
Quoted by means of electricity generated
by the plant at the falls, so that it is not
certain that the plan will be perfected by
that time in which event the current will
be obtained from other sources

The Editor of the Christi ali Advocate.

No pleasanter fortune has befallen
Edgetield in q long time than in the
late visit to us of the Rev. j.. O. Will
son, the gifted and genial editor of the
southern Christian Advocate, which is
now published in Greenville. And
apropos, it was a most suspicious star
that guided the Advocate into the
hands of j.. O. Wilson-into his HANDS,
his head, his heart, his love; for ali
these do you see plainly in the lines and
between the lines as you read the noble
old sheet-nobler and more useful now
perhaps than eve before. Mr.. Wilson
spent three nights and two days in our
town the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. James
M. Cobb. He preached in our Metho-
dist church On Sunday morning to a
congregation in which might have been
seen many faces that belong ordinarily
to other churches. These had come
out of their beaten path to do honor to
the popular editor of the Christian Adj
vocate. Mr.. Wilson's text was from the
End chapter Phil, 9Th to 10th verses
inclusive: "Let this mind be in YOU
which was also in Christ Jesus, who
being in the form of God thought it
not robbery to be equal with God"
&c, and the gifted preacher discussed
his lofty theme with intellectual pow
or and deepest earnestness.-Edgefiel
Chronicle.

This community was greatly shocked
on the morning Of the 18th inst. when
the news spread abroad hat Joseph r.
Boulware was dead. He had been i'll
only a few days, and no one dreamed
that his illness was serious. He was in
the prime of manhood and bid fair for
q long life. His death will cause n
blank in the community that will be
hard to fill. He was an active working
member Of the Methodist church and
walked humbly before his God, and
was respected and loved by all. He
was also prominent as q citizen and his
fellow citizens showed their confidence
in him by making him township chair
man for years; also by making him q
member Of the board of school trustees,
of which he was the chairman. A good
man has gone to his reward.
He leaves q disconsolate wife and five
children to mourn their i%rreparable
loss and u large circle of relatives and
friends join them in their bereave-
ment.
There is some sickness in the com
munity, but little of u serious nature.

The qualifications necessary for
successful teaching are, to a great
measure, acquired; yet some per-
sons are so constituted as to be ut.
terly incapacitated for managing
and instructing children.
The responsibilities of assuming
the place of a teacher are of such
Importance that only experts at the
business should be entrusted with
the care of children. A teacher
can inculcate principles into others
more forcibly by example than he
can by precept; therefore tn
teacher should possess, to a full
measure, the attributes he would
have his pupils to acquire.
1t is a sad mistaken idea with
teachers that to be able to secure a
teachers certificate is the extent of
what their knowledge of the
branches they propose to teach
should be. Nc one can make a
thing palmer to another than he him
self understands it; SO the better ac-
quainted with the subject intended
to be taught the more easily the
teacher can impart it to those he is
trying to instruct. So to be a sue
cessful teacher one must be a close
student not only Of the text books,
but of the ants of communicating
knowledge to others, for it is not
every book-educated person that is
fit to teach.
The art of instructing is obtained
chiefly from books on pedagogy,
but more practically from associa-
ton with the frst.classed instruc-
tors of the country. Amy one who
aspired to the high calling Of in.
structing the youth of the land, and
does not avail himself of the inesti-
mable knowledge he can obtain
only from contact with his fellow
teachers soon becomes so sophisti.
Gated that he is not only not fitted
to be a model for the rising genera.
ton, but he is untitled to be an
agreeable member Of society.
