Tom,

HE above Stove I invented and pa'cuted in 1876, and at the present time HUN- DREDS ARE IN USE, giving perfect satisfaction. A l»rge number have been in content use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have been required, This valuable experience should be sufficient evidence of their | durability, which is accounted for in the foilowing:—It has, instead of a Lined Fire box, two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with all Square Cooking Stoves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat’ being radia'ed from the Gy Iin- ders to the fjcsor, where most needed, overcomes a_ serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coal Cooking Stoves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover holes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equa! satisfaction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel. I have also attached ths PATENT TELESCOPI® OVEN to ajl my Elevated Oven Wood Stoves, such as the Waterloo, Niagara, Star, &c, causing the thousands using them to exclaim—My Stoves are worth TEN DOLLARS MORE than the same kind made by other fonndries, The trade and retail purchasers will please bearin mind the fact that although ® great sdvantage is claimed for my own Oven above all others, they cost no more, and being the sole manufacturer and patentee, no other fcundry can supply. En. quire for Fawcett’s Patent Telescope Oven, ana it your dealer has none on hand send direct to the Sackville Stove Foundry,

I am adding several new and handsome Patterns this season, which, with my former large variety of One Hundred Different Patterns and Sizes of Cooking, Parlor, Office ond Hall Stoves, also Farmers Boilers, Hollowware, Ploughs, Stove Pipes and Tinware, com- prise the most complete assortment offered by any manufacturer in the Lower Provinces.

Terms and prices will be found as favorable as can be obtained else® here,

[Warirren ror Tak Examiner J | Blowing Up Flood Rock. | Trees. THE GREAT CLEARANCE AT HELL GATE, NEW —- YORK, TO TAKE PLACE IN THE FALL. teed | New York Herald By Mus. A. D. MacLzon. | (New York Herald )

r ee j Fiood Rock reef, at Hell G te, is 90

There are individual trees, which denote to go the way of Halleit’s Point, which periods in history, and around which are’ was smashed all into smithereens ten year’s woven tales of romance. Of such is the ‘ego, when 59,000 pounds of dynamite was WALLACE OAK, jexploded in the mines that had been ‘which stands near the old family Manor /drilled through it. But the coming ex- ‘of Elderslie, about three miles south of the | plosion is to be a much bigger affsir than ‘town of Paisley, in Scotland. This noble |the last.

When this great mine has been

‘name at which his enemies turned pale. ‘Standing on the green turf by its aged | trunk, we could realize how, far down the centuries, the fair-haired boy sported with Other village children beneath its branches, | little dreaming of the part which he was ‘destined to assume as his country’s lib- erator, and patriot-martyr. Tradition tells that upon one occasion Wallace concealed himself with three hundred of his men amongst the branches of the Eld erslie Oak which, it is said, covered at one time above a Scotch acre of ground.

THE QUEEN'S OAK

in the forest of Whittlenbury, England, is still pointed out, under the shelter of which’ the fair widow Elizabeth Woodville waited for King Edward IV, as he returned from the chase, and succeeded in gaining, not only the restoration of her late husband's property, but also the heart of the Monarch, who married her with solemn pomp before the high altar of Reading, and afterwards had her crowned Queen in Westminster Abbey.

THE ROYAL OAK,

which sheltered Charles II from the soldiers of the Commonwealth,is universally known. THE ANKERWYKE YEW, which still grows in Inxuviance in the vicinity of Staines, near Windacr,is believed to have flourished for over a thousand'years. Tradition tells thai this tree was the favorite trysting-place of Henry VIII, with the ill-fated Anne Boleyn, whose marriage, entered upon at the expense of a cruel divorce, was destined to be broken off upcn the — scaffold, There is no character in history, save perhaps that of Mary Queen of Scots, upon which opinion is more divided than upon that of Anne Boleyn. By some she is regarded as asaint and martyr, by others as a fiend is beautieors human form ; but, however the reflection from her briof life may fall, we cannot, without saddest emotion, gaze upon the spot, beneath the still magnifi- cent tree, where the royal debauchee per- suaded the beautiful, the witty and the highly accomplished daughter of a worthy follower to defy the laws of God, by usurping that exalted position which, as positions gained by injustice often do, eventually ended in downfall and disgrace.

ANNE BOLEYN’S OAK,

in Epping Forest, is still pointed out, where the infamous monster Henry VIII. sat to listen to the report of the guns which would tell of the execution of his hapless victim, and_ short-lived Queen. The moment the sound of the gun boomed through the wood, he shouted, ‘* The busi- ness is done ; uncouple the dogs, and let us follow the sport,” and the following morning he married Jane Seymour.

There are many other great trees | which might be cited, such as Gospel Oak, in the green wolds of Gloucestershire, the | Oak of Welsh Owen Glendour, and the Haunted Oak, which stands near the small town of Dolgelly, in Wales; all of which possess associations of interest, particularly to dwellers in their neighborhood. We close the list of distinguished individual trees by making reference to the Washing- ton Elm, Cambridge, Mass.; under the branches of which Britain’s noblest anta- gon‘st, General George Washington, haran- gued the first American army, It is neediess co comment upon a tree which, if not familiar to all of us by sight, is su, as con- nected with the history of the Great Republic.

In regard to American forests, we can have some idea of the gigantic proportions of the California trees from specimens thereof conveyed eastward. Doubiless there are those in our midst who have be- held these primeval forests in all their grandeur, and could also well describe them. There are, I believe, still extant upon this Island some fine samples of old forest trees, although most of the primeval forest is now cleared away. In Europe, the} New Forest of Germany has achieved the| foremost reputation for splendid trees; but until some twenty years ago the forest of Sloden, in England, bore the palm; as no- where else were trees so large, and yet so uniform in their growth of ages. The great yew-trees formed magnificent groves, making that deep shade for which we must now goto the ilex woods of Italy. But the holly end the red-berried white beam, which looked so bright when the wind raised its leaves, and showed the silver gleaming underside, along with the dark yew, are all gone, and asea of monotonous Scotch fir has pow taken their place. The old forest, despite the protest | from the poet—laureate and others, was! maugled and sold for timber, and over 3900 | of the ancient yews had to bend their| stately heads to the woodman’s axe. Forests attract humanity, either as an in-| ducement for shelter, or as a means of commerce ali the world over, from Lap- land’s hiils of frost where

**Tapering grows the gloomy fir

And the stunted juniper,” to the treachcrous jungles of Hindostan, | and the spicy groves of Ceylon; from| ‘*China’s garden fields” to ‘‘ California’s

pathless world of woods.” (To be continued.)

|tinue my experiments

touched off it is confidently hoped that Hell Gate will lose its terrors, except those that cling abont the name.

Work on Flood Rock was begun before the Hallett’s Point ledge was exploded. It has been going on in a desultory way ever since, as the money was provided by Con- gress. At timesa couple of hundred men have been employed, divided into three gangs. One great difficulty that has been experienced has been to keep the water out of the mine. Of late three steam pumps have been almost constantly at work pump- ing out the accumulated drippings from the river above that have been brought into a large well. In all, 21,670 feet of galieries have been cut through’ the rock, and 13,- 700 holes, three inches in diameter and of an average length of nine feet, have been bored through the roof. A compressed air drilling machine has had to be worked five hours in the boring of each of these holes. Through the shaft on top, 80,160 cubic yards of rock have been carried up.

The level of the shaft is fifty feet below the level of the river. Radiating from the bottom of the main shaft are the galleries, running for hundreds of feet under the ledge. The roof of the large chamber at the shaft is fifteen or twenty feet in height, while the height of the galleries varies from five to twelve feet. Along the floor of each gallery runs a railroad track, used for car- rying away the rock as the galleries are ex- tended. Through the reof in places the water comes 80 freely as to occasion :nxiety in the minds of those in charge of the great work, This is particularly the case with about an acre of galleries at the north end of the ledge. To guard against accident this part is shut off from the larger excava- tion by a heavy gate.

It is expected that by the end of this month the work of loading the mine will be begun. The explosive to be used consists of two ingredients which are entirely harm- less when not brought together. They are, when combinned to be packed in copper cylinders two and a haif inches in diameter and two feet long. each holding about six pounds of the explosive. In addition to 250,000 pounds of the ‘‘rackarock” about 75,000 pound of No. 1 dynamite is to be used. ‘The delicate operation of packing the compound into the cylinders is to be performed by special experts, and other picked men are to ram home the cylinders after they have been made watertight by soldier. When the cylinders are all in and the exploding traius laid the mine will be flooded by water, ready to be touched off. The cost of the whole work, including that of carrying away the debris after the ex- plosion, will be about $1,000,000.

An Aerial Ship. MR. N. HELMER THINKS HE HAS DISCOVERED

THE MEANS OF STEERING A BALLOON.

A nervous little man was hard at work under the warm rays of the sun on the parade ground on Governor’s Island yeste- day afterncon. It was Mr. N. Helmer, the inventor of anew aerial machine, and he was prepairing his apparatus for a trial trip. A few persons, invited to witness the ex- periment, was present.

Mr. Helmer’s balloon is a long, snake like arrangement, as large around as an ordinary flour barrel, and its length is 160 feet. The gas with which it was being inflated was generated by an apparatus erected for the purpose by the owner of the air ship. Mr. Helmer explaived his theory toa Herald reporter. He said that his long, thin balioon would float horizon- tally in the air. It would be moved by a propeller wheel, and as it would go head foremost, the surface presented for resist-

aneo would be very small. The balloon was made of gold beater’s skin, which the inventor said was much lighter and better than oiled _ silk. A wooden

red, jointed Jike a fishing rod, extended the whole length of the balloon. To this rod were attached the small ropes intended to sustain the car and propelling anc steering apparatus. Mr. Helmer claimed that he could steer his air ship against a head wind in any direction he pleased, and he be i-ved that he could go from this city to Albany and return withinan hour, The propellor wheel will be run by means of a gas burn- ing engine, the slight amount of gas requir- ed for the purpose being drawn from the balloon,

The inflation of the balloon commenced at one o'clock, At five the long bag was about half filled. Then it was discovered that it lcaked. Mr. Helmer regretted having to dis- appoint the spectstors, and be said he would be unable to float his belloon until he could stop the leak.

**T have spent my last dollar,” he added, in constructing this machihe, and now | must go to work and earp some more movey to eon- My miod is set upon this thing, and I shall succeed. Seme day you will see my ba!loons making regular trips between Europe aud America,”— New } ork Herald.
