NOTES AND COMMENTS.

— +

Commenting upon the result of the Quebec election, the St.John Sun says: There is no doubt that a majority of the business people voted with the Liberal Conservatives, and that a much larger majority of the French Canadian voters marked their ballets fora restoration of the group which surrounded Mercier. As one of the orators at the jubilation of the suc- cessful party on election night remarked, “Mercier is avenged.”

—I!t is remarked by the Portland Trans- eript that “since 1867 Canada has passed through thirty years of gradual but steady -‘morovement. Railroads have been built, agriculture and manufactures encouraged, commerce developed, and the standard of education materially advanced. Politically the chief feature of the country’s advance has been the cementing of the union of the provinces, the increasing closeness of their. relat.ons with one another.” Yes. And since 1867, the country has been for the most part under Liberal - Conservative Government !

—The Victoria Colonist protests against the new Liberal Free Trade tax of half a cent a pound upon fresh salmon. It says that “this will Simply destroy the cannery business on the lower Fraser. If this becomes law all the salmon canneries on the Fraser will be clesed and the plauts will be removed to the State of Washing- ton, This is not idle talk, but expresses what :s the bona fide intention of those who are engaged in the business. The proposed duty will immediately entail very heavy loss upon the canners, who have prepared themselves at very considerable expense to handle American fish.”

—The horseless carriage, or its fore- runner, the motor-cycle, is encountering in Massachusetts the spirit of opposition to.its introduction which has vain) v striven in-every period of this old world’s history to prevent the fair trial of inventions, which, contemned at first, have won their way ultimately to a grateful recognition. The Boston Post condemns the obstruc- tive legis'ation, not alone as discreditabie, but as destined to be quickly proved futile. It regards the adoption of the new vehicle ag the next great step in civilization’s ad- vapce in America, its practicability having been demonstrated in Europe’s progressive capitals. It has been encouraging to note in later years that this ancient prejudice to novelties in the inpustrial line has shown lews and less tenacity of life with each succeeding manifestatien.

—The Worcester, Mass., Gazette has not a very high opinion of United States naval officers. It ssys: The battleshipe, cruisers and‘monitors cun agound on every shoal and ledge they can find, when at eea; when in the harbor they run afoul of schooners and yachts, and when trying to tie up to dry land they smash the piers and docks. As though these mishaps were not enough, the department’s shore property is coming in for a share of the disasters. The dry dock at Port Wash- ington, Oce., has been found defective, and now the dock at the Brooklyn navv yard has sprung a leak and must be extensively repaired. The leaks became so serious that work on the Massachusetts was stopped, the dock flooded and the big ship floated. The repairs will take six weeks, after which it is hoped the dock will be as good as new. At Port Washington it is feared the dock will have to be abasidoned, as it i8 constructed on ansuitable ground.

~—A notable result of “the spoils sys- tem ” has received some attention in Par- liament. A day or two ago Cul. Prior, of Br itish Columbia, brought up the case of Da nean, whom the government dismissed fro m the post of quarantine officer at Vic- toria, B.C. After hig dismissal one Dr. Wa tt was appointed in bis place. Now it isc omplained that Dr. Watt neglected to visita smallpox patient, whodied unat- ten ded and alone. The discussion brought up i no Parliament by Col. Prior covered the case of dismissal and the appointment, Col. Prior affirming that Dr. Duncan was thor oughly competent, and that the ~— agai nst him were baseless. Sir Charies Tup per questioned the minister closely abo ut Dr. Watt’s neglect of the smallpox pat ient. Sir Charles very properly insist- x1 that the charges ought to be investi- rat ed, and if true Dr. Watt should not pol y be dismissed but should be prose- juted,

ER

Vienna, May 14,—At a large con- fere nce of the Austrian manufacturers held yesterday, it was resolved to call upon the government to endeavor to conclude in- ternational agreements with European powers with’a view of “effectually meeting the common danger to Eu n economy ar ‘sing from the prohibitive tariff policy of the United States.”

THEYDAILY EXAMINER CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 15, 1897,

INTERESTING NEWS NOTES SELECT- ED FOR THE EXAMINER,

The English court bas gone into mourp- ing forthe late Duchess VAlencon until

May 2ist. The duchess. was the first consin but once removed from tie Queen,

The Queen dida graceful thing on Thursday and delighted Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone by summoning ‘heir grand- daughter, Dorothy Drew, to Windeo: Castle. Her Majesty was anxious to see

the child wio has figured so prominestly in Mr Glacstone’e domestic life.

The Lord Mayor of London’s fund for the relief of the Indian famive sufferers ba: reached $2,600,000. Probably no greater charitable fund was ever raised Ly private subscription in the world. Ifa people i- to’ be stricken they can count on most he); if they are England’s wards.

A remarkable effect of tobacco smok on the color of flowers may be teen in the

case of the field scabia, named botanically knavtia arvensis, so frequent on the h Ils and commons from Augus: till October. I! its purplish blue blossoms, which forin

nearly globose heads, are held in the smoke of tobacco their color wil! soon turn to a bright green about the same co'or 4s its leaves.

A remarkable case of the recovery of speech and hearingis reported from the cauton of Ticino, in Switzerland. An Italian, aged 41 years, who five years ago became a deaf mute in conseqnence of a serious disease, was startled by the sudden appearance of arunaway horse. As he jumped aside to avoid the animal he uttered a loud scream, and after it had gone by he found that he was able to talk and hear.

A.remarkable instantaneous photograph is in the possession of a Bristol chemist. From some cause or another, while he was crossing the river, his camera fell over the side of the Clifton bridge, and, as was atterwarde proved,the shutter flew open as it fell. The camera happened to alight against the sail of a passing ship, and was subsequently recovered uninjured by the owner, A plate which was in the camera at the time of the fall was developed and turned outa very clear negative of the under part of the suspension bridge.

The Halifax Recorder says that about 25,000,000 feet. of lumber have already been shipped from that port this season, and that the total shipments will amount to 80,000,000 feet, eclipsing all former records. On Saturday last there were six sailers loading; one.had just cleared, thr-e others were waiting for a chance to load, and others were en route. Two steamers were loading and another was nearly done. The I. C. R. had landed in the last two months over 1,800 tars of lumber, besides hundreds yet to be discharged. Sixty-five cars had come in tbat day. The lumber operators had a favorable winter and they made the most of it.

The plan of applying electric power to locomotion, by utilizing a third rail to convey the current, was successfully tested in Connecticut this week. A run of ten miles from New Britain to Hartford, on the New England road, was made in 13} minutes. There was less jar experienced than in anordinary railway car. Part of the distance was covered ata faster rate than a milea minute. The engine room where the power is generated provides for five engines with an aggregate of 10,000 horse power. The cars are about 50 feet long. Each car has achime whistle and a big gong at eachend. Instead of an overhead trolley, the electric current passes to the propelling machinery of the car by two shoes, 33 feet apart, which are in contact with the third rail. The test made on Monday is anvounccd to have been in every way @ success.

FIGS AND THISTLES.,

There is no safe side in any kind of sin.

Nothing can make people go blind any quicker than filling their eyes with gold dust.

When the right kind of a man is taken out of- the miry clay, he knows enough to stay out.

The fact that there is so much stuff that shines like gold makes the story of disaster one of the saddest chapters ever written.—Ram’s Horn.

Electric Eyes.

The latest adjunct that science gives to the surgical operator is an electric eye. Strictly speaking, it is not an eye at all, but rather a sort of searchligist, which is used to aid the human eye in delicate surgical operations. *

Oftentimes surgeons are handicapped in their work by the fact that they can- not see distinctly the parts upon which they must operate. The formation oi the human bedy is such that in many instances no light can be put directly

_upon the particular part of the human anatomy that is to be operated upon. The eye can see to the extent of human capability, but in intricate operations, however strong the light in the operat- ing theater may be, the rays lack that penetration and power of concentration s0 necessary to delicate surgical opera- tions.

Professor Charles. E. Quimby, cf Bellevue hospital, New York, has pat- ented this new aid to surgery. From an ordinary electric light wire a connection is made with this device, which fits the face much in the manner of a pair of spectacles. The appliance in itself con- sists of two small incandescent lamps, which are fitted one above and the other below the eye of the operator. They are so adjusted that the rays focus at a poiat sufficiently near the ordinary point of vision to throw all the power of the electric rays upon the point desired.

It is practically a portable searchlight adapted to the operating theater. The lamps are in the form of an annular glass globe, with an illuminating con- ductor. An insulated backing, consist- ing of a metal leather lined band, which passes around the head, prevents the heat from affecting the wearer, and at the same time holds the light in position and prevents any possible effect that otherwise the electricity might have upon the wearer. The lights more near- ly resemble long glasg tubes than auy- thingelse. Within these tubes are placed the lamps, which can be adjusted to any desired angle. When a direct downward ray is desired, a small reflector is fixed above the light and the rays thrown in the desired direction.—San Francisco
