wNLY NOTES. -The weather during
the past week has had a decided spring-
like appearance, but at the same time it
will require pretty fine calculation and
observation to say lust When winter has
ended and spring commenced.-- Our
grain buyers report a very large quantity
of grain being brought to market all
through this montla-Mr. G. McEwen,
proprietor of the Flensall salt wells,
is, with commendable enterprise, still
enlarging his already large buildings,and,
we think we may safely say that for
buildings, conveniences snd shipping
facilities, our Hensall salt works stand
atthe very head of the list of wells. -
Mr. William Colwell, our go-ahead wag-
gon Maker, has this week improved the
appearance of his shop on King street,
by putting in much larger windows than

a few days on a visit. -Mrs. R. Mc-
Arthur, Sr.'and youngest daughter,
Miss Annie, have recently moved into
their fine new brick dwelling situated
near the corners of the London Road

dwelling for appearance and situation
• takes its place among the very
best and neatest in the neigh-
borhood, and we trust they• may
be long spared in health and strength
to enjoy their comfortable home.-
• Mr. C. Meyers, our new butcher, has
moved into his new shop in A. Murdock
.& Co's block, and hatefitted up the in -
81d8 of his shop to compare well with the

front. -Ir. A. Sheritt, of Blanchard,

him a number of horses. -Our Metho-
dist friends in Hensall North held their -
Missionary meeting on Sunday last.
Rev. W. F. Campbell, of Holmesville,

homes well pleased with their outing.
The teacher, Mr. Barton,deserves praise

The Future of Electricity.
Thomas A. Edison said in a late in-
terview with a reporter : "You ask me
about the future of electricity. Is is
the coming motive power. It will be
used on the railroads Horne day, but the
point is to get en economical engine. My
theory is to have immepse dynamos all
along the line of the road, and have the
electricity conveyed from these station-
ary engines to the locomotives by wires
through the rails. For example` , I
would put two .big engines between
New York and,Philadelphia,and enough
power can be furnished to whisk the
limited at the rate of one hundred miles
per hour.
" But this is the point I have been
working on for years, to convert heat
directly into electricity without the
intervention of boiler, steam and -all
that. What an enormous amount of
expense could be saved if this could ,be
done. Think of putting something in
the heat a that natural gas fire and
making electricity out of it. It can be
done. I feel it in my bones, and just
now I havea suspicion that I am on the
right track, but it is a pesky problem,
one that can be worked out only in
time.,
"1 have been experimenting with an
eleetric road iu New- Jersey. I had
rails laid as they put them down on
railroads, but the machine would run off
the track in going around the curve. I
then raised the curve to an angle of
forty degrees and the motor went
around all right. It looked as if the
engine would topple over, but it didn't.
You know in a centrifugal machine you
can make a can go clear round a circle in
the air without leaving the track."

WHAT THE PRESS SAYS.
Wherever the above talented company have
appeared the Press has spoken in the highest
terms of praise of them. The Toronto -Globe
says: The Caledonian Society and its friends had
a regular feast of Scottish song last night at the
Pavilion. The high repute which had weeded
the Balmoral °heir of Glasgow to this city had
drawn a large audience, every seat in the hall
being occupied, and every one who went WAS
fully charged with the enthusiasm which always
comes uppermost when Sootchnien are gathered
together. Constant singing together, has en-
abled them to reach a degree of excellence in
ensemble singing that is as rare as it is pleas-
ing. In. rythmic precision the singing of the
choir left nothing to be desired, and shading
• and artistic phrasing was plentifully evident.
Liberal effects of expression and characteristic)
phrasing appealed to the national feeling of
the audience; and, as before mentioned, en-
cores were accorded to nearly every number.
Mr. R. J. Patrick's readings Were much en-
joyed by the audience, being delivered with a
rich, unctuous humor and were both encored.
Of The MUSM CIRCLE will meet in the
roornSof the Y. M. C. A. from 7 to 8, instead of
from 8 to 9 as usual, in order to allow members
to attend the concert.
