The annual meeting of the King- ston Humane Society was held on Tuesday afternoon ang the business of the Society was taken up in de- tall. Reports were presented, show- ing that the Society had completed another very busy Year and had done much good in the community in looking after the dumb animals, The report of the board of man- agers showed that during the year H WHIC QUEEN'S POWER PLANT/ Working Explained by Prof. Arkley Before the Engl- neering Institute. -- The whole working of the Queen's power plant was explained and demonstrated on the spot by Prof. L. M. Arkley before the King- ston branch of the Engineering In- stitute on Tuesday evening. The advanced students were present con- ducting efficiency tests on the ma- chines or acting as guides to the visitors. A clear understanding was gained of the operation of this the society handled 691 calls in the Interest of the dump creatures. There were 380 cats and 170 dogs humanely destroyed. Seven others Were struck by motor cars and had to be destroyed ana forty-four "horses were shot. Forty-six stables and stock were inspected and im- Provements made and two horse stables were condemned and the horses therein taken elsewhere. Eight horses were taken off the street while seven others with shoes off were taken in charge and had shoes put on them. The society has done wonderful work, not only rescuing animals from ill-treatment, but by pointing Out to the owners of aumb animals how necessary it was to give the proper attention to animals, One Or two cases were taken into police court by the Humane Society and these found guilty of ill-treating animals were fined by the magis- trate. The report stated that consider- able trouble had been experienced at Barriefield where horses had been left to run almost to winter ana were left with nothing to eat. The society had rounded up many horses of this kind. The report stated that dog-poison- ing was continuing and the society's veterinary has had a number of calls. He was able to save many of the animals he attended. The financial report for the 'year showed the receipts to be $736.53 and the expenses to be $623.14, leaving a balance of $113.39. The dog show held last fall brought in $93.91 but the expenses amounted to $132.74. The election of ofcers resulted as follows: President, J. R. C. Dobbs; vice-president, Miss io wg Major Cartmer; secretary-treasuMr, A. Self. -- MINDEN LODGE "AT HOME." Held in the Masonic Temple on Tucsday Evening. The second annual "At Home" given by the officers and members of Minden Masonic Lodge, was held in the Masonic Temple on Tuesday evening, The Worshipful Master, W. Bro. G. W. McGlynn, received the guests, assisted by W. Bro. R. J. Robinson, and W. Bro. R. H. Ward. The organ recital was then pro- ceeded with in the Temple, with Mr, R. RP Harvey, presiding. During the course of the evening solos were rendered by the Misses Florence and Anna Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Bedford, and Master Stuart Salis- bury, all of whom received enthus- lastic encores. ' At the conclusion of the program- me, the guests proceeded to the ban- quet hall upstairs, where refresh- ments were served. in a very dainty manner. Quartette tables decorated with daffodils were Dresided over by ladies of the Women's Auxiliary of the Y.M.C.A., who under the capable direction of their president, Mrs. R. JH. Ward, had complete charge of the arrangements, and were tender- ed a very hearty vote of thanks by the worshipful master on behalf of those present, in appreciation of their efforts. The floor was then cleared and a yery fine dance held, the music be- ing supplied by Art Christmas' or- chestra, in its usual high class man- ner. . There were over two hundred Present and the affair was brought to a close about one o'clock, having been voted a h the happy gathering, ven his decision in the case of Richardson vs Fair which was recently heard in the Division Court. Mr. Irvine Richard son of the Blue Garage brought ac. tion against A. H. Fair, of the Hem- lock Farm to recover the amount of an account of $195 for repairs to the motor car and tractors, the Property of the proprietor of the Hemlock . The defendant refused to pay the bill on account of all faulty workmanship. Mr. Fajr alsod brought a counterclaim to recover damages for loss of time when the tractors unique plant, the many interesting features of which are hardly appre- ciated in Kingston. About 4,000 tons of coal slack are used each year to heat the eighteen buildings of the college and the 8 buildings of the hospital, This coal is bought according to the heat content. It it falls below a cer- tain standard the college receives a rebate. If it rises above that the college, pays a premium. This fine coal is elevated to an overhead container and then fed by gravity on to a chain grate which moves slowly into the furnace carry- ing the coal with it. Inside the fur- Dace are white hot arches of fire brick against which the unburned gases from the coal are caught and consumed. This explatns why there is so little smoke from the plant. By the time the grate has reached the rear of the furnace the coal is entirely consumed and the ®aggy ash falls into a Pit whence it is sucked by a Powerful steam jet and deposited in a container outside. The interior of the furnace is so arranged that the heat from the fire is..conducted three times past the pipes in which steam is being rais- ed. A simple instrument shows how strong the draught is and close watch is kept, as a wrong draught means loss of efficiency. Frequent tests are taken of the gases passing up the flue and if these are too hot or if they contain unburned gas the necessary corrections are made. As a result of these careful checks the plant is most efficient for one of its sort. There is a remarkable blower which cleans the 800t off the water pipes simply by the turn of a valve. The steam from the boiler is pass- ed - through a generator which makes all the electricity for the col- lege and hospital. Part of the ex- haust steam from the generator is then conducted to a boiler in which it warms the water for the hot water heating system of the hospi- tal. The remainder of the exhaust steam from the generator goes to low pressure Steam heating system of the.college. In mild weather, such as prevails at present, if the heating can be shut off for an hour $25 worth of coal can be saved. For reasons of economy efforts are be- Ing made to train the janitors ana Students to shut off the steam when a college room is too warm rather than adopt the usual expedient '. of opening a window. During the cold spell from January 24-31 the plant consumed 172 tons, while in. the mild spell a fortnight later it got through a week on 125 tons, a clear saving of $250 for which to thank the weather, Prof. Arkley expects that the coal consumption for the winter will be about average. The heavy consumption at the beginning of winter is being offset by the un- usually mild weather which fol- lowed. A most hearty vote of thanks was tendered Prof. Arkley and his stu- dents for one of the most interesting evenings which the Institute has en- Joyed. | OBITUARY | The Late Thomas C.
