}

At neither Norwich, Edinburgh, nor| Berlin, was Canada represented through her fisheries. Most civilized countries were. The United States (as they generally do) particularly distiv- guished themselves by carrying off most ef the best prizes from Berlin. and it is said the U. 8S. Goverament, after the ex- hibitioa bought $50,000 worth of speci- mens from private exhibitors with a view to make use of on- future occasions, pro bably at the fortheomicg Great Interna- tronal Fishery Exhibition in London, England.

The exhibition referred to will be opened On the first of May next, and it is said by Her Most Gracious Majesty in person. The Prince of Wales is Chairman of the working committee. and the list of officers overflows with high-sounding uames of the haute noblesse | When England usdertakes to do a things, | she generally does it well. Apparently she means to do it this time.

All the colovies of the Empire are expected to be represented. We regret to be compelled to say that most of the persons interested in our Island | Fisheries, both employers and employed, have been culpably inert. The Cape Ann Advertiser, the fisherye organ of New England, has scarcely had an issue for months past that did not contain notice of some contribution from fishery employer or fisherman towards the great English Fishery Exhibition. Ip this Province the affair seems to have attracted little or no attention, although it was advertised for weeks in every Island paper includiug, of course, Tus Examiner. In fact bad not the Depart- ment of Fisheries authorized its repre- sentative here, Mr. Duvar, to purchase specimeus og Government account, it is probably the cnuly Colory of the Empire that would be totally unrepresented.

_ Our Island, however, ovght to be re- presented. It is customary to speak of our Island Fisheries as both extensive and varied, whereas the very reverse is thecase. Our exports show ooly mack erel, cod and lobster, and beyond these nothing. The herring catch is almost entirely used for bait ; gasperaux are be- com*ng scarce in all the waters of the! Gulf of St. Lawrence, and of salmon. although believed to be abundant al! along the coast, not above two or three tous were brought fresh to market last year, and nove were canned. - Thus prac- tically our fisheries are limited to mack- erel, cod and lobsters. Care seems to have been taken for the coming exhibi- tion to represent these staples not only fairly but well. But we assuredly have many valuable fish that have not yet been economi-ed.

The getting up, at short notice, of any attempt to fully represent, not so much the resources, as the future capabilities of Canada, was a mistake in the shape of delay. The United States, we hear, began to collect things eighteen mouths sioce, and a very large sum was voted by Congress for additioual expenses, outside of the current expenditure of their exist- ing admirable Fisheries Commission. In Cavada we can do less, but ought to do as much as we can. Sir A. T. Galt, at a public meeting in London, is re- ported to have said that the Fisheries of Canada were iv the most rudimentary state. We lear as regarda this Province the remark is too true—we only kuow the A BC of fishing.

We are informed that Mr. Duvar was given carte blanche to plan what would the most suitably represent our. Island Fishery Industries. The decision come to by that gentleman, with the approval of the Department, was, not to make the exhibit a bad epecimen of a museum,

other

but to send nothing that does not illus- trate an actually existing feature of | P. E. Island Fishery industry. In | arranging this there were many diffi- culties. Commissioner Duvar thinks | they have mostly been surmounted, and that the necessity has brought to the | front an amount of vative artistic talent | not hitherto koown to exist, Prof. S. | N. Earle’s large collection of the fish- destroyed birds of the shore, has re- ceived the approval of a scientist from. Ottawa; some of our best artisans, among whom we may mention, Mr. Brown, locksmith, whose work is especially artistic, Bonnell Brothers who made the glass cases, various artists «iv metal who constricted spears, gaffa, rakes, &e.; and e-peciaily Mr. Francis Stanley, Fishery Warder, "

Aerial Navigation.

———

AN announcement lately made that ¢ method had been discovered for pro- ducing aluminum at a cheap rate. has awakened much interest among scientists, metallurgisis, and workers in metals in general. Aluminum is the most widely spread, and the most plentiful of all metals, being an ingrédient of the common clays of the earth; but its pro- duction has heretofore been so expensive that its use has necessarily been limited. Its commercial price some years ago was $8 per ounce, a year ago it was $1 an ounce, and quite recently a Philadelphia concern advertised it at 40 cents. au ounce, aud now a telegram from London makes the announcement, with which we commence this article; but the rate at which the metal can be produced has uot yet transpired.

If aluminum can be thrown into the market at a cheap rate, it will prove one of the mest useful ot metals. Its color is white, with a blueish tinge, and is rema! kable for its resistance to oxidation. When hammered and rolled as strong as iron or stronger, it is only one-third as heavy as that metal and is said to weigh even less than glass.

Among others, whom the telegram has started to a lively activity in the matter, are those who are, and have been, inter- ested in machines for navigating the air. A Mr. C. E. Stedman, of New York, who seems to have given mach time and attention, to methoda and machines for arial navigation, and who states in a Jate New York paper that the model of the future * aerobat ” or “aero- non ” (the geseric name to be applied to the successful air-navigating machine) shall be taken from that of the fish and not fom bird.

Various hints, however, | can be gathered from the bird, he seys, | especi lly the hollow bones will furnish

on Tuesd: y sight, if crossing is good,

* : / tO CroBs again ubiess We have a strong

{ tre ona shield of 30x30. surmounted by * | aluminum, that it can be safely stated

that the year 1882 has provided two of the faetors required for the solutien of | the probl-my of aerial navigation—the second and third.

That the second (storage of foree) is a highly suecessfal tact, is well known. The Faure Accumulator, a wonderful in- vention for storing up electricity to be used at any time aud at any place, pro- vides the needed storage of force, as the past season a smali vessel was satisfac- torily navigated on the Thames, her machinery beiag driven by accumulators, which had previonsly been charged with electricity and afterwards placed on board the vessel for experiment.

The great features of alumioum which make it available for experimentors in ' aerial navigation, is its present cheapuess, aod its strength and lightness when worked ioto hollow rods ; and in the two latter particulars fursishes a parallel to the bones of birds, as previously mention- ed. Of the third, factor required, Mr. Stedman and others are very hopefu! that it will soon be discovered. to an annual address delivered last season before the American Society of Civil Eogineers, the Speaker an eminent en- gineer, said: —

Registration of Voters.

Tre Patriot exaggerates the tendency to perjury in this Province. As a com- munity, we are, Do doubt, no better than we shouldbe, But there are, we believe, few outside the comparatively small num- ber who habitually frequent our illicit rum shops who would knowingly take a false oath on election day or avy other day. If this is the only reason why we should have a registration of voters, there is indeed little cause for incurring the expense.

The direct expense is, we know, by experience, (when the Patriot has the job of providiog the blanks and printed lists) by no meaus insignificant; and, when we take into consideration the days’ work lost by thousands of electors, while gettiug their names placed upon the lists in order that they may exercise their right to vote, we can see clearly that the indirect expense is immense.

After all, the voters lists do not remove the only objection which the Patriot makes against the present system. They do not prevent perjury. On the contrary, they provide a means for im- personation by the very men who scruple not to swear falsely. We have seen and noted far more rascality under the ballot, with the aid of a register of voters, than ever we did under the manly system of open voting. Open voting with small polling divisions and polling booths from which the crowd is ex- cluded is, we are convinced, best for this Proviuce, and would, we believe, suit better than the other ballot, the Provinces of Canada. Registration no doubt gives facility to voting, but it is not withont its special disadvantages; and with small polling divisions, the residents of which are usually well known to each other, is not required.

At any rate, we sec no good reason why the Province should be condemned and ridiculed by the Patriot and the Toronto Globe tor not providing voters lists to be used in Dominion elections.

Mails.

STOPPAGE OF THE NORTHERN LIGHT—MAILS SENT BY THE CAPES ROUTE—HEAVY ICE IN THE STRAITS.

When the “Northern Light’ made her round trip on Wednesday last, she had a clear track between Georgetown and Pictou. On Thursday she passed through ten miles of ice from four to ten inches in thickness, but made her trip on the usual time. On Friday morning she left Georgetown with our mails of the previous day. The pros- pect for a successful crossing could not have been bright, as it was blowing a gale from the N. W. and the thermometer was slowly rising from 15 below the 0. No report was heard from her until this morning when she returned to Georgetown, reporting the Gulf full of ice. She was unable to get within four miles of Pictou Island.

The Mails on board have been returned here and forwarded to the Capes. All outward mails will now take that route leaving here daily at six o’clock, p. m.

The mails at Pictou Landing and all other mails forthe Island have been order. |: e1 to the Capes, and may be expected here

The ‘Northern Light” began her trips on the Georgetown and Pictou ronte on the 12th December, and made a return trip oa every week day up to. Friday last. The aevere frost, (with continued N. and N. W. winds) has made the sea solid for the present in the Gulf between Pictou Island and Cape George, and she will not be able
