Alderman Cannon made an earnest
effort to get the improvements for the
fire department started at the meeting
Of, the aldermen Monday night and
also to have a steam fire engine added
to the equipment. 1t was to be ex-
pected that opposition would arise to
the purchase of steamer, but why
the aldermen delay in carrying out
what they themselves voted was neces-
sary, is hard to understand.
Several weeks ago program was
flxed which included new house for
Washington Hose Company, a chemi-
cal engine and general improvements.
That would seem to be enough in
stsuctions for the Fire Committee.
The aldermen were unanimous in the
matter. 1t would be interesting to
know what steps the Fire Committee
has taken to ascertain the cost of the
improvements thus passed upon and
how soon before something will be
done. It is to be hoped the city will
not have to wait as long as it has for
m improved water department.

MORE THAN FIVE SENSES.
The Number Possessed by Man Ex-
ceeded by Those Of the Lower
Animals.

Many of our scientists, until quite
recently have been reluctant to admit
that number of the lower animals
possibly possess other senses than
ours. So much new and undeniably
affirmatory evidence is, however, now
being offered on this point, that
there can be no longer any substan-
tial reason for doubling that the five
senses man imperfectly exercises are
by no means all that are possible to
sentient creatures, says the Scientific
American.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to a greater or
less degree almost universally pres
ent in mammals, birds, rsptiles. fish
and insects, is what perhaps may be
called the sense of localization. 1t
enables its possessor, apparently by
it's sole use, to find desired spot. j
is evidently closely connected with an
instructive and perfect memory OF
distance and direction. That the
homing pigeon exercises it to some
extent, though undoubtedly aided by
the landmarks it recognizes. is in
disputa bic; that the honey bee has
it in its fuIlness and perfection can
not, after the careful experiments of
Albrecht Bethe in Germany. be
doubted.
Examples of insects that possess
an Xray sense, not only among Eu-
ropcan but our own hymenoptera,
can be multiplied indefinitely. Only
one or two of the senses peculiar to
the lower animals are here noticed.
Lubbock suggests that "there may be
so of them"

ChrIstening a railway.

Engineers are, as rule, sternly utili-
tartan, but there are occasions on
which they indulge in sentimental
practices. One of these occurred the
other day on the completion of the first
transcontinental railway in Africa.
When the plate-laying gangs from Bu-
luwayo and Salisbury, respectively,
came within 20 chains of each other. a
telegram was sent to the contractors
and engineers, who at once arrived on
the scene. The rails were Joined and
two engines proceeded slowly toward
each other from each side. Attached to
the drawhead of the engine from Sails
bury was bottle of champagne and
as the two engines met it was broken
and the new railway was named in the
orthodox manner.-London Telegraph.

A Helpful Suggestion for Sub Al
iances and Other Farmers Clubs.

Alliance have been It's pride and
boast from the ~incipiency~Of the or
oanization to the present, but in this
dav of advancement along all lines
and especially educational lines, the
Alliance, to keep in the lead, must
mt forth renewed efforts in that di-
r~cction. 1t is a fact admitted by all
that AGRICULTURAL education in this
State has been neglected both in
theory and in practice, while others
claim that it is at the tail end of the
list, the farmers having been out
stripped by all other classes who
have gone to the front by taking adj
vantage Of the opportunities and
progressive spirit of to-day. Take
either horn of the dilemma and we
do not see anything encouraging, ex-
ccpt that agriculture, like farmers
crops. will withstand a great deal of
abuse and neglect and still have
great possibilities in it. This is true
to the extent that many think hal
mmbskulls and blatherskites are in
their native element only when fol-
lowing this particular vocation. Rip
Van Wrinkle, it is said, slept twenty
years, but finally awoke; the same
has been said of North Carolina
except they say that she is "awak-
ing
Let it not be truthfully said that
the farmers of this good old State
are still asleep after all other classes
have awakened to the possibilities of
the twentieth century, or even that
we are the last to awake. But let
us be up and doing; keeping step to
the march of progress, refusing to
be left behind by V the foremost
in the race.
This opens up a broad and invit-
inc field for the Alliance to occupy,
and one in which it can probably
spend its energies in lettering and
uplifting the farmers of the State
and will get quicker and more last
ing returns than in almost any other
way.
knowledge is power; ignorance is
weakness; information about ones
own business is indispensable. There
fore to succeed the farmers of North
Carolina must acquire knowledge
knowledge about their own vocation
and about their business affairs. To
fail to acquire this knowledge is sui
cldal-is to make ones self a slave
or a victim, to be guided or taken adj
vantage of by others.

from another State containing this
paragraph: CIVIL you please tell us,
