"My Dear Sir-With reference to our
various discussions as to the Marques of

the scheme for technical education / have
now the pleasure of informing you that,
although his lordship had intended that
his donation toward the college funds
should be applied principally for estab-
fishing general scholarships, he is willing
having regard to the great Importance to
this district that the best technical edu-
cation should be provided In connection
with the university college, that his PROM
ised donation of 10000 should be applied

authority for paying over to the college
funds the sum of 10000 as soon as re-

TO MAKE TRAINS GO

creased POwer.. The Inventor.

The trial of the Holman locomotive
speeding truck on the South Jersey rail-
road. near Cape May, on Wednesday af-
ternoon, July 90 was apparently sue
cess full so far as the question of the at
tainmcnt of high speed was concerned;
but the general conditions of the test rs
regards track, distance run, and data as
to the economy of the new device We're
such, according to the New York Sun,
that the test can hardly be said to have
been satisfactory on the whole. The
engine left the Cape May station at $50
p. M. pulling two ordinary passenger
coaches filed with people. An express
train on the West Jersey railroad left
the Cape May station at the same time.
The two roads running parallel and
close together for several miles, adyant-
age was taken for an opportunity for
race. Each train rapidly increased its
speed as the two came near each other
and approximately side by side. But
the race did not last very long. as the
Holman engine quickly distanced the
ordinary locomotive.
The Holman engine made the run to
Cape May court house station in eleven
including the time consumed
in starting and stopping. The distance
is 11!s miles, so that the average speed
was sixty and two-thirds miles an hour,
a small fraction better than a mile a
minute The speed Indicator attached
to the engine touched at one time the
90-mile mark. and for good part Of the
distance it hovered around the 7o-mile
mark. Orders had been given by the
chief engineer of the railroad. who was
on the engine. to slow up at all curves.
In the eleven-mile run there We're three
curves and one railroad crossing, so
that it was impossible to make thor
ough satisfactory speed test. The South
Jersey roadbed also is not of the best.

LOSS OF POWER.

There Is, however, to be considered
loss of power in the increased friction
caused by the introduction of the extra
twenty wheels. Mr.. Holman declares
that If the wheels could be made per-
fectly smooth and round this friction
would be so slight as to be practically
inappreciable. He calls attention to the
fact that the weight of the drivers rests
directly upon the friction wheels and so
transmits the weight of the locomotive
directly to the rails, and not the
axles and friction wheels. This oh
viates axle friction, and the wheels are
so nearly perfect that Mr.. Holman de-
clares that there is but little friction
due to Irregularities in their services.
It is probablee that thorough compe
titive test of the Holman engine as to
steam economy will be made before very
long. When such test is made trains
of equal weight will be drawn over
the same track for the same distance.
In the test on Wednesday it was noted
that the steam pressure. which was 1876
pounds at starting. had dropped to 120
pounds at he moment when the greatest
speed was attained.
The Holman truck weighs about thir-
teen tons, and that fact, of course. en-
ters into any computation as to the
economy Of work. 1t, Of course. re-
quires more power to move sixty
seven-ton locomotive at high speed
than 1t does to move a fifty-four-ton To-
comotive, and there must be some COM

Holman declares that this economy can
be found in the 'lessened cost Of track |

WELSH COLLIER PIANIST.

Little Handel climbing up the garret
casionally varied by being caught and
flogged by his father for doing so, may
be said to have achieved the fame he
did in spite of many obstacles. They
were not greater than those in the way
of Welsh pianist, who has lately pass
cd the examination of the Royal College
of Music with honors. Mr.. Cummings
who examined him, was struck both
with his appearance and the size of his
hands, and made inquiries as how he
was engaged. He found that the man
was engaged in a coal pit from seven
o'clock in the morning till four in the
afternoon, and that after that hour he
proceeded to practice for five hours
nightly, with the result that he achieved
this most honorable distinction, which
was only obtained by SO candidates all
over the British Isles. The fact is not
SO well known as 1t should be that so
many pitmen have pianos, but few pur-
sue their studies to any advanced state,
perhaps from the feeling of hopefuneSs
at ever making way, especially consid-
ering the bad effect of manual labor on
the suppleness of the hands. Another
point to be remembered in this collier
pianist is that he did not begin to learn
until he was seventeen. DE Quincy,
writing of that habit which blighted his
life, pathetically says: "Oh, that 1t
should be possible for boy of seven
teen by one crring step to lay the foun-
dation Of lifelong remorse." 1t is
well to be remembered that boys of
seventeen can lay the foundation Of
something else than the bad habit of
opirm-ea ting.

IsLWYN,s STIRRING LINES.

ISLWYN'S STIRRING LINES.
'Islwyn's' stirring lines commencing
"Nis gall y filam Gu difa hwy" formed the
subject for translation at the Newcastle
Emlyn eisteddfod, one Of the joint WIN
ners being Miss Il. Eilir Evans, Of Car
diff. The following are few of the
stanZas:
The flame can not devour those whom
Christ purchased on the Tree
Them for whom bowed the Lord Of Life
His head in agony.
Fair Nature knows the voice Of God,
His footsteps ever bears;
His face she recognizes behind
A veil of blood and tears.
Earth's deep foundations bent beneath
TIL unutterable groans of God,
And with the mountains on its arm
On high the tempest rode.
And Kidron, in the vale below,
Sighed for a passage to the sky,
And Zion's Muse, responsive heaved
A sympathetic sigh.
