CORRESPONBEACE,

A Question Asked.

lv the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—Is there any probability of th Dominion Government offering to | a line of freight steamers to ply Island and a port or porta on the north sh of New Bruuswick, say Point DuChen Liverpool? The S. 5. ‘‘Prinve Edward” got a small subsidy last vear, and our she p raise felt the benetit. The subsidy ought to be doubled, at least, and two beats puton, Th« benefit to our trade is too plain to requir argument. Ourfriends of Moncton will find the advantage of having a steamer touch at Point DuCheve. Help the car along.

Yours respectfully, HENRY CoomBs.

Challenge. To the Editor of the Examiner. Dear S1iR,- of showing the ‘‘ white feather” the proposed tournament, I would like to

state that this accusation is groundless and |

unworthy of notice. The postponement of

the race was as greata surprise to meas to |

the public generally. I may state that 1 was quite prepared [to skate on Friday evening, and, furthermore, I am ready to skate for one hour and a half against any members of the Citizens’ Skating Rink, within a fort night from date.

If the Directors will net give adecent prize, | my medals |

I will, if necessary, stake one of against anything of equal value on the issue. I remain, yours, etc., VILLIston Browy. sietotpeileseadeiailrinanin ~ > - Sheep Eiliing by Dogs.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

,

S1x,—Last summer the losses sustained by

farmers in P. E. 1, by having their flocks | ?

almost destroyed by the mischievous dogs, which no law seems able to keep inside their owners’ promises, ought to make any plans of preventing their depredations welcome.

I have recently real two siatements im American papers, which seom to me to promise the probability of success.

The first is froma New York source. A farmer who had lost largely by dogs, whose owners he could not find, and who eluded all his efforts to shoot them recommended to put into bis pastures with liis sheep, some gosts. He did s0, and tohis great delight has found them an absolute protection. He discovered by watching that as soon as dogs entered the pasture, the goats went for them, and handled them in such a vigor ous way that they gladly beat a retreat. Moreover, that the sheep seemed at once to recognize their guardians, and instead of flying ia every dir. ction, as they had been wont when tne dogs made their appearance, they all stood close together, and apparently enjoyed the fun of seeing their tormentors driven ignominicusly from the field. Theplan was then tried by others, and with invariable success.

The other case is of a Norwegian farmer in Minnesota, (1 know the place where he lives) who keeps tame elk in his pastures asa pro- tection against the prairie wolves. His ex- perience is that the latter have no chance but are driven at quick speed, often flying off the sharp points of their antlers in a way they are not likely to forget.

Either of those plans would be easy of trial, the first cf ccurse the easiest. Goats are to be had on the Island, and if cared for, multiply rapidly and are not without value in other ways.

There is also a Western trap to catch sheep kiliing dozs, which it is not easy to describe in a newspaper, but which I should be glad to show to any one who would like to try it.

Yours truly. Frep. W. Ch'tewn, Feb. 25th, 1882.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Six,—The following letter was addressed to the Board of Health nearly a month ago. No action has been taken on it. Will you kindly give it publicity, and add such re- marks as you think the importance of the subject requires.

I am told the City Council applied last year for av Act to empower them to close up the deep pits used as cesspools, and that the Bill was thrown out by the Upper House. When the Legislative Council in- terfered to prevent the city adopting those sanitary measures, which are indispensable tothe health of its inhabitants, it is clear that it is a inischievous, as well as useless and costly, institution. No better proof could be had of the necessity for its aboli- tion.

J. T. Jenkins.

To the Chairman of the Board of Health. Sir,— As the question of a pure water sup ply is pow agitating the public mind, I beg once more to remind the Board that it is their imperative duty to take measures to prevent the pollution of springs which feed the wells from which the present supply is chiefly de-

rived.

This may be accomplished without any difficulty, and at a trifliag expense, and the water rendered pure as it was before Charlette- town was built.

{ would also call the attention of the Board to the following facts: -

That small pox is spreading rapidly in many

arts of the United States; that vaccination 19 ‘almost entirely neglected on this Island; and also that the Board has at its command no hospital for in- fectious diseases. I think it advisable to call @ meeting of the Board as soon as possible, that they may give these mat‘ers their earnest consideration, and provide the requisite ac- commodation before we have a visitation of small pox, as Your Worship well knows, from past experience, that the'protection afforded by the present Dominion Quarantine Regulations is no safeguard against the city being invaded by that dreaded and Joathsome disease.

I have the honor, etc , (Sgd.) J, T. JENKINS,

A TERRIBLE accident occurred at Baldwin Station yesterday. A boy uamed Evans, twelve years old, while in the actof feeding his father’s horses, fell from the loft into one of the mangers. A _ vicious horse, there seized the unfortunate bey, and lifting him from the manger, deposited him on the floor. He then trampled upon the boy's body, and, together with other injuries, broke both his arms and one of his legs. Another boy who ran to his assistance was severely injured by the kicking horse. Young Evans is now sulfering terribly, and is net expected to recover,

MORE LIGHT!

rgtHE Charlottetown Gas Light Company

have imported some of “Bray's Purners,” which they will supply and fit on Gas Brackets, etc.,, at a moderate cost to consumers,

These Burners are reported to be the best Fiat Flame Burner yet produced, and will give a far greater amount of light than any other Burner with the sume consumption of Gas, '

Dr. Wallace, F. R. 5.-E., F. C. S., Gas Examiner to the City of Glasgow, in @ lectare Gelivered by bim, calculated that £130,000 ($650,000) @ year. are thrown away in Glas- gow by the use of imperfect fittings. On the subject of Gas Burners be says; “ Another and as I think a better Burner is that called Bray’s regulator, a: d as I consider these the best uniea Burners attainable at moderate cost, I have selected them for a series of ex- periments,

The xXeport of the Committee of the British Association of Science to enquire as to the best means for the developmen of light from Coal Gas of different qualities—~comprising Dr. William Wallace, Professor Dittmar, and Mr. Thomas Wills, F. C.8., F. I, C. E,, showed that Bray’s Burner's yielded the greatest amount of light of all the two or three score of Burners reported upon which included all the Burners of repute in the murket,

In @ pamp! let upon Ligbt and feat, pub- lished by R. B. Taver, A. M., he says: “Lhe cost of Gas as compared with other illumin- ants is much more economical when rightly used, than many suppose, From experiments made foi this purpose, the following results

‘been obtained, They were ae by burning sauples of Devoe’s Brihiwat } and ordinary Oils, and testing their i}luminating power, It was found that Coal Gas costing one cent at §3 per thousand feet, gave a light equal to 18 candles, while Devoe'’s Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes cost- ing halfacent, gave a light equal to 9 candles,

“A good Argand or Johnson’s Burner, the Burner’s used in the Jast experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordinary Oil Burners in direct comparison, at no greater expense in the cas of the finer and safer grades of Oil. Lights,however, on the author- ity of scientists, are not to be compared in direct proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such a com- parison with the case of the use of (ins, its cleanliness, freedom from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be jutroduced,”

As the above experiments were made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen Low much more ecouomical it is to con- sume Gus instead of Oil, when its price is only $2.63 per 10.0 feet as now charged here when Consumed, more especially through Bray’s Burners,

Messrs, Gocdwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the well-known mapnufacturcrs of Scientific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, etc., say in their Cireulur to Gag Compauics : “In presenting the Brey’s Stand. ard Patent Slit Unien Burners and Lanterns, for which we are the sole Agents in the United states, to the attention of the public, we are convinced that we are filling a want long felt,’ They further add; ** The yield ot light from these Burners is 12 to 20 per cent, greater per cubic foot of Gas censumed than that trom any flat flame Burner hitherto in- troanced.
