In excavating dirt in large quantities
1t is common practice to use teams and
scrapers to draw the dirt to a dump,
Or else to employ a large number of
men to shovel the dirt into carts to
be drawn away. The former method
is slow work, in view Of the small
loads which can be taken, lille the
latter is expensive because of the cost
of labor and the necessity of keeping
the teams idle while the loading is
going on.
Adam Gehringe of Philadelphia, Pa,
has just patented an apparatus which
should overcome these objections, a
picture of which is shown herewith.
1t consists of two traction wheels, sup
porting a steel frame. on which are
mounted three buckets on an endless
chain. The lower part Of the frame is
sc~oop-shaped to take up the dirt, and
the buckets revolve through the back
portion Of the scoop to receive the
load which is to be elevated to the
wagon.
All that is necessary is to attach the
loader to the cart by a short chain
and start the horse, the man at the
handles guiding the elevator into the
proper position to discharge the dirt
into the wagon. THERE'S nothing COM

A remarkable instance of a battery
Of accumulators working under water
was recently given in Munich. The
station is situated or an island In the
Isar. and during the flood the water
covered the batteries. According to
the Scientific American, one OF the
batteries which ran the car lines was
completely cut out, and 1t was thought
that the other, which furnished light,
would have to be treated in the same
way. The fiy-wheels OF the engines
were half in the water. Nevertheless.
u it was almost indispensable to light

the submerged battery. The attenp<

while vigorous rubbing gives a mega

it has been proposed to provide an en-

The WalhaIIa Comedy Company.

The Walhalla Comedy Company pro-
poses to appear again in the drama, ga
Noble Outcast," at an early date. They
rendered this drama about two years ago
to large audiences in Walhalla, Seneca
and at Clemson College. Mr.. r. Q.
Merrick, who, as "Jerry Weston" was SO
popular in this play, is in Walhalla on a
visiG and will assume this role again,
while Mr.. ii. G. Thompson, of Missis-
sippi, one OF the best amateur actors to
be found, will assume the character of
"James Blackburn" (the villian), which
was admirably acted previously by Mr..
Jas. f. Ansel. The principal character
in the whole cast is that of "France Lee"
and will be assumed by Miss Alice Fret
well, who takes tho place of Miss Nettie
Gibson, who, on account of sickness, is
unable to appear in the play. Miss Glib
son was unquestionably the greatest
favorite of the entire company, and as
"France Lee'' she justly received uni
versal praise from everyone who wit
messed the play. Mr.. George Seaborn
will appear as "Jack Worthington" in
place of Mr.. M. G. Seaborn, and Miss
Emma Merrick as "Sadie,' this character
having been previously assumed by Miss
Julia Maxwell, now Mrs. Jas. f. Ansel.
Miss Fannie Crisp will appear again as
Mrs. Lee" There is no question as to
the ability of these young ladies and
gentlemen to carry we'll the entire play,
and in it's presentation the public is
promised an evening of pleasure. The
exact date for the appearance has not
been fixed, but it will be during August
and somewhere between the 2lst and
2Sth
