Some Facts About The
Ashton High School.

The Ashton High School will
bring it's six months term to close
the 28th of April. During the term
more than a hundred pupils have
been enrolled.
The transportation, in wagons, OF
the pupils who live at a distance
has proved to be a practical scheme
and it helps to prove the fact that
transportation IS something more
than a mere theory.
The school has accomplished two
very important things: First it has
at least been instrumental in bring
ing to the pupils that amount Ut
learning which they would naturally
receive in a six months term OF
school and secondly it has convinced
a large majority of the people that
the consolidation plan is by fal
better than that of keeping the
small schools as they were. The
people are showing their approval
by their liberal support in helping
to rebuild.
The contract for the new building
has been let to Mr.. Burke who is nov
busy making the stone and in the
course of three weeks will have the
six thousand stones made which are
required for the building. Or
account of a few changes this build
ing will be a great deal more con
venient than the first one.
The people of the community art
very much interested in the new
school building and we're to proph
esy would say that next year vii
be the most prosperous school yea
this section has ever seen.

NEW TYPE OF LOCOMOTIVE
British Railroad Line Is Experiment. Ing With What Is Known as the
 "TurbIne-EIectric."

The North British railway officials are predicting great things for new type of locomotive, known as the ''turbine-electric," which 1t has been testing. The tests have proved satis factory as far as they have prog ressed. The locomotive Is a self contained, steam-electric generating affair. Steam Is generated in boiler of the ordinary locomotive type, fitted Tlth a superheater. The steam is then led to a turbine of the impulse running type, making 5000 revolu tions a minute. To this Is directly connected a continuous current, varia- ble voltage dynamo The dynamo supplies current and pressure varying from 200 to 500 volts to four series wound traction motors, the armatures of which are built on the four main driving axles of the locomotive.
 The exhaust steam from the tur- bine passes into an ejector conden- ser, and is eventually delivered to the hot well. AS the steam turbine re- quires no internal fabrication, the condensed hot water Is free from oil and is returned direct from the hot well to the boiler by a feed pump Thus the water evaporated by the boiler Is returned to 1t again and again. A forced draft Is provided by means of a small turbine driving fan
 The controlling instruments are all on the drivers platform and within easy reach The switchboard is small, and the operation of the loco motive is simple. It's inventors pre- dict that it will make a great saving in railroad transportation and opera tion cost, and make identification a fact of the near future without the necessity of costly wiring.

ChIna's Railroad School.

An indication of the interest taken by the central government in the flu ture of railways in China is afforded by the establishment last year, in connection with the ministry of com munications at Pekin, of a school for training railway officials.
 The school is built for 500 students, but the number is at present limited to $50, who come from all parts of the empire and vary in age from eighteen to twenty-five. There are about 30 teachers, including one British, one American Ca drill sergeant), two French and two German. Most of the teachers are Chinese students re turned from abroad and they are well paid.
 The curriculum includes the Chi nese language, drill, geography, his tory of Chinese railways, mathemat ics, drawing, chemistry, physics, traf flo management, railway bookkeeping clements of engineering, steam and electrical, workshop administration and railway company law.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Dropping Coaches on the Run.

The ingenious means by which one of the great railroad systems of Eng land drops passenger coaches off at intermediate stations without slowing up the locomotive, even for a fraction of a second, in its speed of 60 or more miles an hour Is called the Slip coach" system, and Is described in Popular Mechanics
 It is a system never tried in Amer ica, and consists in dropping, or Slip ping" one or more of the rear coaches just before the station Is reached. Un- doubtedly many American tourists travelling in England, after alighting at their destination, have been amazed to discover that the coach which they occupied was still beside them, while the locomotive and the remainder of the train were nowhere to be seen.

Cuban Railroad Enterprise.


 President Gomez of Cuba has con- tracted with the Ferrocarril de Fer nandez & Placetas del Sur, corpora ton organized for constructing a 4O- vile railroad, connecting the two places indicated in the company's title, and has leased 1t to the old Trin- idad railroad, which runs from Casil- da, on the south coast, through Trini- dad to Fernandez. The railroad con- pany is to begin work on the new line and the reconstruction of the old by December "A, and 1t is expected that the whole line will be in working order about IS months later. Trini- dad will thus be placed in direct rail- road communication with the rest of the island, being the last urban cen ter of any importance to be so connect cd. The new corporation will enjoy the benefits of the law of July 5, 1896, in regard to subvention.
 Another proposition which has been made by the Cuban railroad (Sir Will liam Van Horne) to take over the old line and carry it on to Sancti Spiritus, on the main line, prejudiclal to the interests of the other terminal cities. The Ferrocarril de Fernandez a Place tas del Sur Is said to be backed by French capital to the extent of S2,oo0,0o0.
