The substitution of steam In place of coal stoves or furnaces for thy heating of cais is a "consummation most devoutly to be wished." Some of the most serious accidents on rec ord have rebulted fiom the burning of cars in wrecks, the lire spreading from the coal stoves used for heating purposes. Heating passenger trains by steam from the locomotive Is last supplanting the old methods, and its great advantages can readily be un derstood. The Westinghousc brake Is rapidly coming Into general use. The Increase In number of freight cars equipped with this brake was In the year ending June 30, 1898, 115.227. It may be properly stated here that practically a.. (9,956) passenger loco motives are equipped with train brakes, and 5,105 with automatic couplers. Of cars in passenger ser vice, practically all are equipped with train brakes and automatic couplers. Something over 91 per cent, of the locomotives In railroad service aro equipped with tiain brakes, and over 30 per cent, with automatic couplers. Of freight cars, 46 per cent, are equip ped with train brakes, and something over 63 per cent, with automatics couplers. The Increase In the number of freight cars equipped with auto matic couplers was fcr the year 227. 876. This progiess in the direction of tho general use of train brakes and auto matic) couplers Is veiy gratifying and satisfactory. No freight cats are now 'built for general uses unless equipped with these appliances, and naturally the time will soon arrive when a car not so equipped will be the exception. One of the most gratifying as well as , desirable Improvements in train equipment, nnd 'which may well bo In eluded under the head of "safety ap pliances," Is the lighting of passen ger cars by the "Plntsch" caB-llght- nlng system. This is a German Inven tlpn. and Is fast bocomlntr unlvi rsal In Its application. t the close of tho year 18S8 BO.SSO cars weie equipped with this system. Of these 34,?2rj werj In Germany. 17.R00 In P.nplanrt, 5,210 In Prance, 3.7U In Austria. C.r.s in India, 1,000 In Australia, and 1:1,40 la the United States. The remainder wie cMstrlbut4 throughout the world ,i all countrlen where railroads are operated. Ps In troductlon into this country Is of com paratively recent date, and the excel lent results derived from Its uses af fprd sufficient argument for Its general adoption. It has everything to iecom 'mend it, and especially as regards ltd safety. Its use has unquestionably been the means of averting most dls tresslng Ios of life In wrecks, when, had the old-time coal-oil lamps been used, cars would have been burnsd , and life lost. The adoption of this syst em, of lighting passenger trains can- , not bo too highly recommended. It Is ,fully appreciated and approved by the public. w;ho readllv see Us advantages vana who unanimously speak favorably regarding it. Its gereral adoption will be a national benefit.

Grant made an announcement yesterday momlnp confernltip the llnal examinations which will lake place tlu latter end of this month and the be Klnnln? of next. He stated that the work done during the year will count half In summinR up the average for the flrbt half years work, the clnsi woik done during the year will count the other half. He cautioned every student to do his utmobt dining the remainder of this month, to work h ird both on the leview and advanced work as much as possible. He also emphat ically stated that ho would fully con form with the rules of the school board In tt'tfawl to the question of nvetaccs. This means considerable to each stu dent, as, If he makes ninety per cent. In all studies but one. and In that study makes only sixty, he has to ro back for that one study. Kvery pupil has to make 70 per cent. In all studies, even If a student should make 69 per cent, it nvans a failure. This system is no doubt very strict, but It will be the means of making the students under stand that a certain bt.indatd must be made and that no marks under that standard will pass them. The Glee club has begun practice In veiy fine style. Yesterday at the close, of the session the club assembled In the auditorium and at once set to work to learn some selections which would be ai proprlate for a programme. Prof. Herman being absent, Mr. Hums acted an director for the practice. Many of the songs which aro sung by the school were rehearsed, and before the re hearsal hour was over the club suc ceeded in singing them in a very cred itable manner. The next rehearsal of the club will tnk place Friday of this week, or befoie If it can be so ar ranged. It Is the desire of those who are the movers of the organization to ralhe the membership ficm bixteen to twenty-four. When yesterday's session opened at tho High 8CI100I a very lively and noisy scene was presented. After a vacation of a week, during which time some of tho most enjoyable festivities of tho year took place, "very student re turned to school with something to tell his classmates how the week was spent. The week that is gone by could not have been bettered for the enjoy ment of the pupils. The skating on all tho ponds sut rounding the city was ex cellent, and the cold weather which continued throughout the week was very invigorating. Tho cold weather had considerable effect upon the heating apparatus of the school. As a result, when the pu pils entered their respective class rooms and found the temperature of the room far below seventy, there was considerable dissatisfaction among them. The tPachers, seeing that no lessons could bo recited in a creditable manner with the room in such condi tion, sent the pupils to the nudltorlum, where the entire period was devoted to study. The singing practice by the school, which was to have taken place yester day, was postponed on account of the Impossibility of having nny singing in the room with so many different class es. This g.ie the pupils an oppor tunity of devoting another period to study.
