The question “Will ashes burn?" is answered in the affirmative by the resi- dents of this village who have triedthe experiment; but the answer is not, to- day, given quite as confidently as it was a week or two ago. In an article under the above heading the Globe says: The Medical Health Ollic'o-r has point- ed out that ashes will not burn. This is universally couceded.- The claim is that the ashes with the brine 'will supply Conditions under which the coal can be ,burned without sending three-fourths of its energy up the chimney. It is now necessary to waste, or at least to lose, that large proportion of heat-producing capacity of coal in securing a sulficient ' Supply of oxygen to support combustion. All the ashes and coal can do is to cause the coal mixed with it to burn without the great waste. heretofore accompany- ing combustion. Many reports of suc- cessful experiments have been received, but it is yet too soon .to decide positive- ly as to ultimateresults. The effect of the new system of combustion must be noted on grates, furnaces, stoves, boil- ' ers, and all heating and steamâ€"power ap- v pliances. There are many things to be considered, and it'jwould well for all experimenters to note accurately both the methods adopted and the results ob- tained. It must be borne in mind that it is the coal, and not the ashes, that burns. If coal and ashes form into an unusually hot and glowing mass of fire, it is beâ€" cause- the coal mixed in it is burning, and the ashes, salt and water are sup; plying sulficicnt oxygen to support the combustion. All that can be accomplishâ€" ed is thc. reduction of waste, and so far- as this is achieved without the injury or or destruction of heating appliances the experiment will be successful. It is matter for experiment and not scientific '(logma at the present stage; and, as with all experimenting, the chief need is care in carrying out the processes and accuracy in noting the result. . _ We believe that the Toronto Medical Health Officer's statement that ashes will not burn is correct; but the small pieces of partially consumed coal that drop into the ashâ€"pan of a stove will burn readin enough, as, also, to some extent, will the cinders that accompany them. Nobody that we know or have heard or read of has tried to make pure ashes burn; and, until somebody does try and succeeds, we shall believe that it cannot be done. That a very large percentage of the fuel put into a coal stove is carried away in the ash-pan, ev- ery user of coal knows and deplores. A great part of this waste could be avoid- ed by sedulously and persistently sifting the contents of the pan, and throwing all but the genuine ashes back into the - coalâ€"bin; but sifting ashes is such-terri- " bly disagreeable work that, rather than do it, almost anybody will suffer the loss of the consumable coal that comes out of a stove with the unconsumable ashes. _______â€"â€".â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"-â€" Grow-VI-Selected Grain. The Bobcaygcon correspondent of the Lindsay “ Post ” writes as follows : “ The Verulam Agricultural Society held its monthly meeting in the council chamber on the 13th inst., and it was agreed by all present that it would be an excellent thing for the boys who are sons of the members of the society to begin to grow selected grain. It was agreed that at our seed fair, which is to be held in March, 1908, two or three prizes should be offered on the different kinds of grain, which are to be grown on red wide. The seed grown is to be se- lected,‘ hand picked. kinds of grain were suggested: fall wheat, red; fall wheat, white; Blue Stem spring wheat; Canadian Beauty peas; small white peas ; white oats and black oats; six-rowed barley and M anchuria barley. The amount required at the seed fair next March is a peek of each grain properly named. If- any person selects his seed for these plots for three tered as hand-selected, registered seed. All present thought it would be a good far as possible and let the boys exhibit it at the fair and get the prize money they shall win, as it would be a good training for the farmers‘ boys." Hymeneal. TWOMEYâ€"GRISE. The Catholic church, l\.[idland, was the scene of a happy event on April 17th, when an interesting wedding took place. The contracting parties were Miss Alice Grise, daughter of Mr. D. Grisc, of this town, and Mr. Dennis Twomey, of Cam- rosc, Alberta. The nuptial knot was tied by the Rev. Father Barcelo, in the presence of a large number who gather- ed to witness the ceremony. The bride was charmingly dressed, and was attend- ed by Miss Alice Allard, while Mr. Geo. Griso supported the groom. Miss Rose May Kelman acted as maid of honor. At he conclusion of the ceremony an adâ€" journment was made. to the residence of the bride's parents, King-st, where a re- ccption was held, and in the afternoon the couple took their departure for a trip through eastern and western Onta- rio, after which they will proceed to their future home in Alberta.

At a meeting held on Monday evening in Secretary G. H. Hopkins's office, the members of Sturgeon Point council were unanimously in favor of granting a fran- chise to the Davis .Acetyline Co., Ltd, of Ontario, providing the representa‘ tions made on the company's behalf are borne out. Mr. Wadsworth, the compa- ny's agent, eXplained to Reeve John D. Flavelle and Messrs. Brown, Miller and Anderson, the cduncillo'rs present, that his firm made a specialty of piauts for summer resorts, parks, large hotels, etc., 'and would like to secure a franchise and instal a plant at Sturgeon Point for the supply of illuminating and heating gas. Theywould canvass the cottagers for contracts for the season, and would sup- ply gas for lighting and cooking at $2 per 1,000'fectâ€"equal to coal gas at $1.35 per 1,000 feet. His company would sup- ply ten street lights of 50 candle power for $75 for 'the season, operated on a moonlight schedule, except when other- wise ordered by the council. He had visited the village last year, and found it admirably adapted for giving a first- class service. The new lighting plant is expected to be ready for business by the 1st of Juneâ€"Post.

Moore, Council 8: Wiggins came near having no' logs to out at their mill at the Falls this season. Owing to the shortage in the snow crop-,‘the' spring flood was not sot-s ‘ficient to carry their drive from the limits on Union Creek to Burnt River, and the whole outfit becau‘ic stranded about two miles from the mouth of the" creck.‘ A heavy rain was hoped for, but failed to arrive, and things looked blue; The only thing left to do was to back ' the water 11]) above the logs 'with a dani andjthen cut it loose, trusting to the rush of water to carry the logs through to the river. If this failed, the logs would have to stay where they were for a year; But it didn't failâ€"it succeeded; the drive is now on its -way down Burnt River, and the old mill will humus mun"? this summer. , NARROW FISCAPllirâ€"The Lindsay Even-4 3 ing Post of Monday says : “ With his ca-v' 'noe caught on a stump and upset, and his feet fast under the seat, Fishery- ].nspector Bradshaw was in a perilous plight last evening.
