How would it d« to cut square across the landscape, and elect a woman as school trustee of this city? Terre Hautt has led in many thing*. Her educational system is far in advance. Her institutions of the common and higher learning are famous everywhere. There is no eartbl) reaton why the responsible man agement oi our public schools should be exclusively in the hand* of men. More than three-fourths of the teachers in the schools are women. Would it not be a graceful recognition of the rights and sex of tbilarge corps of teactiere that a woman, if competent, accomplished and able, should be chosen by the city council to share the responsibility and duties of echoed management? Tbe agitation of the question in the papers of tbe city f-hows conclusively that public opinion would cor-

THIS SERPOLLET STEAM CARRIAGE.
ao doubt safe and practical steam carriages would be common objects of the highway at the present time so common that the most frisky and ill-broken horses would not regard them with alarm." Tho same writer made a short trip on the carriage here described, which was being1 exhibited in a London suburb, but was not allowed to show the speed of which it is capable—an average of 16 to 18 miles an hour—for the reason that the law confined its display to the limits of the works where it was shown. We quote the following particulars: "The carriage takes the form of a mail phaeton. The boiler is of the Scrpollet type, and consists of three rin^s of flattened steel or iron tube. The engines possess no special features of novelty. The products of combustion and exhaust steam are carried out at the rear as shown. The exhaust is superheated before it escapes so that it is invisible. In France the prejudices of the authorities against steam on the road have been overcome, and there are several of these oarriages in ordinary use in Paris and elsewhere. The speed is, however, restricted to ten miles an hour in the city. The experience is that horses are not frightened at all, as indeed there is no reason they should be. Some horses will shy at anything, others have their pet aversions but these are ill-broken animals that area far greater danger to the public than any number of steam carriages. It is, of course, unnecessary to point out- to engineers that a decently designed steam carriage is far more under control than a horse-drawn vehicle, both fei the matter of turning, stopping and storting. Tho gain in space would also be enormous aould mechanical appliances take the place of horse traction. In spite of this we have not much hope that the two gallant Frenchmen who are attempting the task will be able to move our authorities. We do so hate anything that is new and straage in this country."
AN EXCITING RACE.
A Norwegian Vessel's Narrow Eiopt from a Waterspout. The Norwegian fruiter, America, on a recent voyage from Nassau, West Indies, t* the port of New York, had a narrow escape from destruction by a waterspout. When three hundred miles east of Hastteras, says Once a Week, the America encountered the waterspouts It had a base of thirty or forty feet and was shaped like an hour glass. To steer clear of it the captain
turned to the west, thinking that it
would
pass Kim to the starboard. The vessel's car.non was got in readiness to fire into the mass of water, but it was not needed, as the odd shaped mass of water passed to the stern of the vessel, raised a big swell and soon was scattered on the broad face of the ocean.

An encouraging view of the subject is taken, however, by London Engineering, from which we reproduce the illustration of the steam phaeton of M. Scrpol let, 6f Paris. The journal referred to is of the opinion that "if the law did not veto all efforts to introduce steam on common ro3ds,
