FOREST AND STREAM. 
87 
‘ off the Savors and the Lime Kiln Point. A canoe containing two 
_ brothers, Cecil and Louis Platt. sons of J. J. Platt, United States Con- 
sul for the Port of Cork, was upset and Louis was drowned. These 
two young gentlemen, from the information that can be gathered, 
started on a little sailing expedition some time after 11 o‘clock in 
what appears to have been a badly constructed canoe, measuring in 
leneth eight feet and not more than nineteen inches wide. In this 
frail craft a mast was erected, and a sail about the size ofa large 
pees handkerchief was attached thereto by a miniature yard 
_ Having embarked, the occupants used the paddle as a steering ap- 
paratus; but ib appears, although no person actually saw the acci- 
dent, that the canoe became unmanageable and the squally northwest 
wind which was blowing at the time took effect on the sail that was set 
and capsized{the tiny craft, precipitating the two occupants into the 
water. The boat must have immediately righted itself again as, fortu- 
nately for the survivor, alaborer wh> was working in afield not far 
from the river where the fatal event occurred, saw the eafioe upright, 
but deep in the water, asif she had been half full. This Jaborer, named 
MeCarthy, noticed that there was no one in her, and saw two caps 
floating in the water close by. He immediately with another man, 
named Flanagan, proceeded to the strand, and there saw floating 
five or six yards from the shore a body, which proved to be Cecil Platt, 
aged six years, McCarthy waded to the apparently lifeless lad,and after 
bringimg nim on snore, discovered life, and soon after, with the valuable 
assistance reniiered by Mrs, Curtis, the child’s condition improved, 
every want being supplied at Mr. Donaldson's residence, where Mr. 
Downing quickly arrived. The little fellow is now progressing favorably, 
A diligent search was 1ustituted for the elder brother, who was aged 
nine years, which proved futile until half past one o’clock, which 
would be about an hour and a half atter the occurrence, when Head 
Constable Courtenay and a party while searching in a boat discovered 
the body lyin= ia six feet of water. The lifeless remains were at once 
taken home to the bereaved family. It is needless to add that the 
most heartfelt sympathy is felt for Mr. and Mrs. Plaut by the mhabit- 
an s of the town.” P 
DOWN THE RICHELIBU.—Ex-Commojore Alden, the father of 
American canoeing, has returned with his party from his nineteenth 
personally-conducted tuur down the Richelieu. For danger and 
thrilling incidents this voyage rivals the other eighteen, but thanks to 
the skill, experience and personal brayery of their leader, the party. 
which consisted of Messrs. Stevens, Messiter and Morse, reached home 
safely. The question has lately been asked by many whether the re- 
sults of the Greely exhibition were worth what they cost in hardship 
and privation, and the same question may be asked in regard to these 
cruises. Valuable as the results must be to science, the dangers in- 
curred by the venturesome cruisers are too great, and we hope that 
nee season their friends will persuade them to choose a less perilous 
route. 
THH A. C. A. CAMP.—Canoeists are arriving from all points. and 
Many are now in camp, Pittsburgh and Warren, Penn.; Hartford, 
Conn.; Springfield, Mass.; New York city and Rochester, N. Y., and 
Peterboro, Deseronto and Brockville, Canada, all have delegates. The 
New York C. C. left on the 3d via New York, Ontario Western 
Railway. 
CHICAGO C. C.—The races set for July 26 were postponed on ac- 
count of a heayy storm which prevailed during the day. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. | 
N.N., Philadelphia.—write to Chas, Gilchrist, Port Hope, Ontario. 
M.M.S., Excelsior, Pa.—i. Suckers will not take bait. 2. We be- 
lieve it to be. 3. We know of no book that will instruct you how to 
train pigeons for the crap. 
H. W. A., Pottsville, Pa.—Will you please let me know where I can 
obtain a lot of young trout for stocking a stream and how? Ans. 
Write to James Annin, Caledonia, N. Y 
B. T. 8,, Rock City.—Please inform me of the best work on fish 
hatchery and trout raising, and where to get them and the price? 
Ans. Get ‘Domesticated Trout,’* by Livingston Stone, price $3. We 
can furnish it. 
B., Concord, Mass.—Can you tell me whether the party that usu- 
ally goes west on a special hunting car from Worcester is a strictly 
private one or is there a chance for an outsider? Ans. We believe 
that the party is not what you probably mean asa “‘strictly private”’ 
one. Write to Jerome Marble, Worcester, Mass., the manager of the 
company. 
MirceHELL,—The fish sent for identification is the trigger fish (Balis- 
tes), so called because of the trigger-like arrangement of its spinous 
finray. It is common in tropical parts of the Atlantic and oecasion- 
ally visits our coast in summer. 
J.T. McK., Albany.—Do you know of any physicians in Towa or 
Nebraska that are fond of sport that would be inclined to give a 
brother a few days good shooting during his vacationin August. Ans. 
We presume that there are many such, but must confess inability to 
name them. 
AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER. Detroit, Mich.—In your issue of March 29, 
you have an article on amateur photography and give formula for 
developer. Please give me information in regard to mixing the 
chemicals to make developer. i, Whether hot or cold water is used. 
2. If filtered. 3. What scale is used. 4. You say 90 parts, 200 parts, 
ete., is this weight or measure? Ans. 1. Cold water. 2. Not necessary 
to filter. 3. Apothecary weight, proportion as follows: In one bottle, 
16 drams pure carbonate of potash, 4% ounces of water. In another 
bottle, 4 drams pyrogallic acid, 1 1-12 ounces of sulphite of soda, % 
dram citric acid, 2 ounces water. 4, Take from 40 to 60 drops of each 
to 3 ounces cold water, soak your plate in cold water for from 3 to5 
minutes, then pour it off and apply the developer. : 
SusqueHanna, Wrightsville, Pa.—Which is preferable for carrying 
loaded shells in the field and over hills, a belt or a vest? Give your 
reasons. Which is the proper way of crimping shells? Is it generall 
done by hand, if so, please give me instructions to perform this 
properly. Ans. 1. We prefer a vest; it distributes the weight more 
easily. One is apt to tire of the belt before the long day's tramp; 
and sometimes we have known it to lead to colds in the region of the. 
waist. 2. Paper chells may be crimped by pressing in the ends by 
hand; but there are numerous simple mechanical contrivances which 
crimp much faster, more rapidly and better than can be done vy 
hand. Instructions for their use accompany the machines which are 
to be seen in the gun stores and are deseribed in the catalogues of 
sporting goods dealers.

Patent “Perfect” Brass Shells, 
MANUFACTURED BY 
KYNOCH & CO., Birmingham, Eng. 
These shells are made of extra fine thin pliable metal, with reinforced base; are adapted to either 
Winchester or Wesson No. 2 primers. Can be reloaded as often as any of the thicker makes, Cost 
only about half as much. Weight less than paper shells. They shoot stronger and closer, and admit 
of a heavier charge, as owing to the thin metal. inside diameter is nearly two gauges larger. Load 
same as any brass shells, using wads say two sizes larger than gauge of shells. Or can be effectually 
crimped with tool and straighten out to original shape when discharged, The crimping tooi aiso 
acts as a reducer, an advantage which will be appreciated by all experienced sportsmen. Sample 
shells will be mailed (without charge) to any sportsmen’s club or dealer, and prices quoted to the trade 
only. For sale in any quantity by gun dealers generally, or shells in case lots only, (2,000), and crimpers
