A CORRECTION. 



Rev. C. S. Harrison writes to say 

 that he made a big mathematical error 

 In his communication on the cost of 

 feeding the five million dogs said to be 

 kept in this country, which appeared 

 in our issue ot April 28. One hundred 

 and eighty-two million, five hundred 

 thousand dollars a year Is the correct 

 computation and that seems fully suffi- 

 cient to justify Mr. Harrison's conclu- 

 sions.
