NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The loans of the banks to Provincial Governments included, up to the 30th April, $17,981 by the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island and $76,993 by the Merchants Bank of Halifax.

—The passage by the Senate of the United States of a reeolution according to tbe insurgents in Cuba the rights of belli- gereots ie not likely to result in anything serious. It is wel] known that the Senate does not represent the sense of the people of the United States.

—Thbe Fast Atlantic steamship service for Canada, for which the late Govern- mert strove, has been carried out by their avecessors, even though the latter de- pounced the idea when in Opposition. With the assistance of the Imperial Gov- ernment, Canada will in the near future, bave the advantage ofthe swiftest means of oceun travel to and from Great Britain and will probably at once become the chief highway between the Northern Country and our Great Sister Colonies and possessions in the East and South.

—It is very pleasing to note that means- are to be adopted for a change in the finan cial relations existing between England and Ireland and for the concession of Local Self Government to the Emerald Island. The %scheme avunounced in the Mouse of Commons yesterday by Mr. ‘Balfour was well received by the Irish Leaders; and is calculated to allay the irritation and agitation of the Irish people when carried out. It will involve sn ad- ditional charge upon the British people. But it seems to be admitted that Ireland is entitled to some financial concessions. At any rate the people of England will not complain of an addition to their burden of taxation if the result should be peace and contentment in Ireland.

—The interesting and important work of the Kindergarten in this city is being earried on under greatly improved circum: stances since the removal of the classes to the syacious, airy and lightsome rooms in Kindergarten Hall. There are now sixty young plants under culture. These are attended to by three “gartners,” the chief being Miss Sayre, who is ably seconded by Miss Hunt, of Summerside, and Miss Barret of this city. We are p'eased to note that the main object of {these kinder- gartners is to train and sharpen the facul- ties and correct the habits of the little sprigs of humanity committed to their charge. This should, indeed, be the main object of the teachers in all our schools. Learning is a copsideration secondary to that of being fitted to promptly and effect- ively apply and utilize the fruits of learn- ing.

Montreal Gazette: All the provincial premiera who beloug to the Liberal party, and Mr. Marchand, the prospective pre- mier of Quebec, have been on a visit to Ottawa. Mr. Greenway, of Manitoba, wants a million dollars of Dominion money,what the others want is not known; but it is something out of the Deminion’s chest. They are all bard up.

Montreal Gazette: There is a teetotal- lers’ argument to be found in the incidents of the Grasco-Turkish war. The Turk is among the most abstemions of men. He does not gormandise, and hie religion forbids him to touch wine. He endures hardship better than almost any European soldier and quickly recovers, even from serious wounds. And he won.

THE DAILY, EXAMINER CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 22, 1897,

THE QUEEN

A Jublice Add-vess Prepared by the Royal Canad.a.: Academy of Arts

TO

The members of the Royal Canadian

Academy of Arts are sending a beautifually-

iIyminated address on vellum to Her

Majesty the Queen on the occasion of her

jubilee. A principal feature of the design

1s the Roval Arms with an elaborate her- aldic wantling. The Arms of the differe it provinces of the Dominion being worked into the decoration atthe sides of the text, with an extra border of conventional- ized roves. The illuminating was dove by

Mr. Howard, of Toronto, a member of the

Aacdemy. The address isas follows:

To Her Most Gracious Majesty, Victoria, by the grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain aod Irciaod, Queen, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India.

May it pleace Your Muiesty : The members of the Royal Canarian Academy of Arts, while uniting with the whole of your faithful subjects in the general expression of loya'ty and ‘ove on this the sixtieth year of your occupation of the throne, wish further as a body to testify their feelings of profound reverence and affection.

It is one of the nnmerous glories of

Your Majesty's reigz that during its con-

tinuance a love of art, more diffused than

eyer before in England, has been develop- ed. The beneficial influence of your life

(an example to all beneath your far ex-

tended sway) has ever encouraged a recog-

nition of the value of quiet arts of peace professed by the devoted subjects who now address yon.

In this portion of the Empire art, al-

most unknown at the time of Your

Majesty’s accession to the throne, now adds

its solace to the trials of life. The part

taken by members of Your Majesty’s own family in founding the Royal Canadian

Academy gave a decided impetus to art

in the Dominion, and the origin of the

Academy affords us,as we are proud to

think, an added hope that these few words

may suggest more than they can express

of true devotiou to the throne.

An inspiration to truth, peace and good-

ness,a tie binding the sons of a mighty empire together, whose parallel hi-tory records not, Your Majesty has ever been. That your reign may be prolonged beyond the most sanguine hopes of your people is the ardent prayer of Your Majesty’s devot- subjects, the members of the Roya! Can- adian Academy.

BICYCLE GEARING.

Seme Important Information by Mr. HB, A, Mayfield, Is. A.

To ascertain the “gear” of a bicycle is an easy matter when one understands the method tou e. Several rules have been given in cycling books and elsewhere, and are doubtless correct enough, but many persons would like to know juat wl y they multiply such and such quentities together and divide by something else. It is my purpore to try to clear up this little mys- tery, and I feel sure that none will have any dfficulty in following me ip the elementary algebra that itis necessary to use. First and foremost, by “gear” is meant the height or diameter of a single large wheel that would travel over the same ground in one revolution as the safety bicycle under consideration would in one tura of its pedals.

As in our problem we have to deal ic circles to some extent, it would be well for the reader to know one important tact, i. e. —that tie c'rcun f rance of a circle is very nearly 3.1416 times the diameter. Thus suppoee a whee! is 28 inches in diameter, then manifectly its circumfereurce —28x 3.1416— 87.96 inches, a 27 inch wheel 27x 3. 1416= 84.82 inches, and so on. Sup- pose its diameter=D inches then its cir- cumference = Dx3.1416 inches. Now let us turn our attention to the sprocket wheels. Suppose the sprocket on which the pedals are fixed, has 20 teeth, and ths sprocket onthe rear of driving wheel hae 1@, and keeping in mind tbat they are connected by the chain which bas an aperature for each tooth to fit into, then obviously the small or rear ove will revolve 20--10—2 times while the large

one turns round once. Suppose we call the numbers of the teeth on the large and small sprocket N

and w respectively; then using the same reasoning as above, the latter will revolve N-+N times while the former turns once, or what is the same thing, the hind wheel performs N +N revolutions to one turn of the pedals. Now remembering what was said about Dx3.1416 being the circumfer- ence of a wheel of diameter D, we may proceed further. The diameter ofthe hind whee! is known, and therefore its circum- fererce can be readily found. The cir- cumference is clearly the distance passed over bv the wheel in one revolution of iteelf. In N+w revolutions it will paces over N +yx3.1416x diameter of hind wheel = distance travell:d by bicycle during ore turn of its pedale.

What we want to find is the diameter in inches of a single large whee! which would cover the same ground when rolling as that covered by the safety. The circum- ference of the large wheel of unknown diameter D is D x 3°1416 and since the dis- tances passed over are to be equal, we may equal them thus: —Dis‘ance travelled by safety during one revolution of the pedals =distance travelled by large wheel of diameter D in one revolution or N +n x 3 1416 x diameter of hind wheel —31416 D. Dividing through by 3.1416 we get :— N-+wn x diameter of hind wheel—D= gear in inches,

Hence the followirg rule :—Multiply the number of teeth on the large sproket by the diam. of the hiod wheel and divide by the number ot teeth in the emall sproket.

As a delicate hint to the banks and monied men of Charlottetown it may be remarked that the Bank of Montreal at St. John’s Nfid., donated $500 to the expense of a jubilee celebration, Mr. R. G. Reid gave $1,000, und several firms gave $250 each.
