; GOME POINTS IN WARING’S SCHEME

ir is impossible to give a comprehensive wvew of Colonel Waring’s scheme for the @eewerage of Charlottetows within the ienits of a short article. But by attention ts Che main points in it, the reader may @éain a tolerably clear conception of the system he proposes to establish. Oeder ital] the sewage of the town is to be collected in a reseryoir at ihe ende ® Pownsal wharf and discharged thence, imrough a 20-inch outlet pipe, to the bot-

\ torn of the channel. " Mech the larger part of the city will draia into this reservoir, at al] times, by

means of gravity.

f

Por the drainage of the low northwest

district of the town, there is to be a main sewer, siarting at a flush-tank at Douglass ' street, about 400 feet west of Malprque Road. This will run through Douglass Upper Queen, Bayfield, Spring Park Bead, Crose, Spring, Rochford (east side) ’ Haviland and Water to the head ot Powval wharf. This sewer wi!) deliver at the bottom of the reservoir, toree feet above low water.

Streets,

It will disebarge into the reservoir by gravity until the water eets back to about the upper end of Roch- fort street. This channel will then be closed, aod the flow daring the remainder of the tide will be carried into the pumping well.

As for southeastern section of the city, it is touod impractic- able to curry sewage from its upper portion (aay the foot of Grafton street) to Pownal wharf by a sewer of the necessary iaclination, owing to the great depth of catting (about 30 feet on some parts of Water street) which this would require. Even then, it would be unecessary to keep

4 tae pump in constant operation, day and

might, to preserve the sewer in a cl-enly

caodition. Toavoid expense, etc., it is proposed to establish two receiving wells, ane at the foot of Grafton Street and ove atthe corner of Water and Weymouth

*reets,~-connecting these with each other

and with the pumping well by siphons.

The siphon from the Grafton street we! to the Weymouth-Water street well will be of 10-inch iron pipe; and the siphon from the Weymouth street well to the pom ping well will be 12 inches in diameter

The siphon line begins at the well at the foot ot Grafton Street and runs thence i turough Edward, Richmond, Cumberland, Dorchester, Weymouth and Water Streets to Pownal Street,

Zhe entire siphon system lies low eaough to be entirely flooded with sewage without obstructing the flow of the other sewers,

The pumping well at Pownal whart wil! have its bottom fourtcen feet below low water, and will be abou: twenty-four feet

the eastern and

. deep. The pumping weil will be situate at the be, worth end ofthe reservoir. Jt will receive

the entire flow of the siphon lire and #0

much of the flow of the low gravity main

extending from Douglass Street, as occurs \ after the tide will prevent the flow by gravity. A second pump will be provided topump the sewage from the pumping well into the main reservoir.

In practice, Colonel Waring says, it will prouab'y not be necessary to ure the pumps at all between 9 p.m. and 6 a. m, Atnotime need the pumps be worked couteuously. Ifthe pumps were worked at theie fullcapacity, they would emyty the pnmping wel! and the siphon wells in less than balf and bour.

The reservoir on Pownal wharf wi! Le L100 feet long and 4@ feet wide. capacity will be 300,000 gallons.

The reservoir,will Le completely em plied | twice aday by opening the gate in its 20- inch oatlet pipe afier the tide has fallin &t least one houraad will become entirely |

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Mademciselle Emma Calvecontributes

to the current number of Harper’s Bazar a very interesting and valuable articl+ on * Voice Culture for Girls.” In reply to

the question, “Is it not better for girls to study with teachers cf their own sex?” she eays: “This ie certainly my candid opinion, for the art is 80 complex in its conditions that a woman’s tact and delicacy are essevtial in the treatment of yourg girls.” Against the practice of beginning too early to study,she advises that the voice Ought notto be werked before the sevenieenth or even tle twentieth year, according to individual circumstances, has been reached. She concludes with the gracefully expressed hope that, when American girls appear at European opera houses,‘ they may receive as flattering a reception as was accorded me in this country, and which has touched me beyond the power of expression.”

—A correspondent of the Guardian deal: ing with the question of our winter steam- ship service writes :

“When and so soon as the temperature of the water falls to a certain degree, ice begins ‘o form on the bottom; or on large areas of the bottom likely thousands of acres. This formation increases un- til the ice attains sufficient lifting power to break loose and floa:, We then get the apparently anamolous account of genuine Gulf ice in the Straits during tine weather. This is the manner in which ice is manufactured in the Straits; the way italways was and the way it always will be.”

We have only to remark that oysters must have a cold time on the bottom, when the ice forms about them. Bat the correspondert seems to know al! about it. Perhaps he has been “on the bottom” him« self and will give the public some further information. Or perbaps he is meraly trying to “take a lift” ont of the Guar- dian.

Aitken and others vs.Assignees of Wright Schurman & Co,

The court was engaged om Saturday hearing the o' jection of the Merchants Baok of Halifax to the Master’s report. At one o’clock the court adjourned until three o’cloek to enable the counsel to attend the funeral of the Jate» Thomas Morris, and afterwards the argument was con- tinued and as far as the objection of the Merehants Bank of Halifax went, con- cluded. The court then adjourned to meet ona future day when counsel agree to argue the objections of Beer Bros.

The letter was submitted to the Board at their regular meeting, aod iv reply thereto the following resolution was passed :

“Resolved, That in the opinion of this Board the fire insurance rates, in the business portions of Summerside, should be reduced 20 per cent. or thereabouts upon the introduction of an efficient system of waterworks and the organization of a properly equipped fire department.”

THE LOGROLLING NOTES

(Presbyterian Witness.)

I am fortunate enough to own a_ note issued at Ottawa, Jule 2nd, 1897. Itisa genuine article, aod is worth one dollar. | have looked over the pictures on it very carefully, and have been tryin to make out what they mean. Ono the centre of it are two big men rolling logs and two little men helping them, The logrollers cannot be typical of the business by which the people of Cannda make theirliving. There is a geod deal of lumbering carried on, it is trur; but the principal occupation of the people is farming. I assume, then, that the logrolling is typical ef the work carried oo in Ottawa, Two things lead me to this conciusiou. In the first place the goveru~ ment buildings are engraved on the back of the note. It ia thefroot of them tnat wesee. Thus, the logrollers are just attheir back. Tueinuference thea, is tbat the logrolling business is carried on, not openly in front «f these buildings, but secretiy back of them. In the second place { find lJogrolling defined as follows in Webster’s Dictionary:—“A combining to assist another in consideration of receivirg assistance in returo; sometimes used of a disreputable mode of accomplishing political echemes orends.” I would never fora moment thiok of believiug all the assertions made by conservative news- papers with regard tothe doings of the

Dominion goverament. But = when the government itself uses men, logs and handspikes as a

sign of what is going on back of the Par- liament House, we are bound to believe that it is engaged in logrolling. When one sees alarge black boot in frontof a shop one may fee! confident that there is a shoemaker within. I do not know who the logrollers are. It is likely, however, that the Hon, Mr. Langelier could name them all.

To the right of the logrollers is the governorsgeneral. He is not looking at them; but as his right ear is towards them he must hear the noise which they make. Bat why shouldbe be there at all? I re~ joice that the premier of Canadais an Imperial Federationist. Heis undoubte edly on the right track.

Now, it seems to me that an Imperial Federationist should havetae Queen and the heir-apparent to the British throne on notes issued under his authority. If he would not like to put the p'ctures of the Queen and the Priace of Wales on dollar notes, he might put those of John A. Mc- Donald aud Alexander Mackenzie on them. They were both great men, and were so rich that they would feel ashamed of a dollar.

At the boitom of the note I see the werds, American Bank Note Co.; Oulawa. I presume that Goldwin Smith had some- thing to do with putting the word Awmeri- can there. Probably it is intended to show that the manifest destiny of Canada is to be joined to the United States. Of course it was On the old notes. Thue the present government is not responsible for it. I suppose then, that the corrector of proofs forgot to write the word delete after it.
