STILL BURNING ASHES. The last has not been heard of the cobbler who sprinkled his coal ashes with a solution of rock salt and oxa- lic acid and burnéd them again, with the . result that he extracted further heat from them and saved in the con- sumption of eoal. The scientists dwelt oneiderably upon the subject, and all for the purpose of showing how ex- tremely absurd was the proposition. Notwithstanding the shafts of ridi- cule that were aimed at the Board of Education in New York city, the Met: ropolitan board, it was so impressed with the cobbler's philosophy that it continued the tests or experiments. It claims that in the operations of last winter there was' a saving in coal to of 10,000 tons: What is more it is proposed to continue the burning of = the ashes, sifted and treated _ with oxalic acid. It thus ignores the banter of certain learned men who say that the school teaches chemistry in the class room and al- extent significant, chemy in the furnace room. It is not presumed that the school janitors in Kingston will be required to practice alchemy in the perform- ance of their work, but it is expécted that some of them will study the weather and bring about a saving in of fuel. The schools be ventilated, fully, persons the consumption must, of course, when occupied by so many during school hows, and it is per- to the frequent and exces- sive changes that much fuel is burned during. the very warm weather. The school caretakers should be gov- probabilities, and haps due 80 erned by weather the one who intelligently directs his and saves the board huge sums be adequately ré- work, of money, should warded.

Sir John Mae-|g donald once gave the excuse for an election that he wanted the ap- proval of the electors to the proposi- 'tion that pegotiations be opened with tha American government respecting reciprocity, and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in 1904, desired to knbw the people's mind with regard to the new trans- continental railway. Thus great issues arise from time to time upon which it is important that the people should and they express their feelings most effectually at the polls, These issues, however, do not arise suddenly, and there is usually ample time in which to proceed deliberately with regard to them. Snap verdicts are scarcely possible. EDITORIAL NOTES.

'Gananoque, Aug. 31. --George Toner, appointed at the beginning of this season as overseer for this section by the local legislature, to enforce the law restricting the netting of fish in these waters, has been doing good work in the fulfilling of those duties. During the' past few days the case against George Williams, of Howedls- land, whosg nets had been seized (he using thre¢ nets and holding license for only two), was tried in the police court, and the accused was penalized $5 and costs, and his license forfeited. A case will also be tried in the near future, the outcome of the seizure of some 200 feet of nets from James Wheeler,» of this town. So far the overseer has captured some twenty-five hets in all, two boats, one gun and two night lines.
