PAPERS: Pilot, Volume 36, Number 16, 19 April 1873

Balloon Trip to Ireland.—An adventurous American aeronaut, Professor Donaldson, intends this summer to cross the Atlantic to Ireland in a large balloon. The machine will weigh about 2000 lbs., will contain 208,000 feet of gas, with two small reservoirs to provide against leakage, and electric arrangements for light.

(Break)

 Irish Children In London.—The ninetieth anniversary festival of the above benevolent society, established for the education and maintenance of poor Irish children resident in London, took place on St. Patrick’s evening at Willis’s Rooms where a large number of noblemen and gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous repast. His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, K. G., K., K. P., &c., presided. A large number of subscriptions were announced, including 100 guineas from her Majesty and 30 L from his Royal Highness the President. From the list it appeared that her Majesty has given altogether 3630 L. An effective choir was in attendance, and an excellent selection of popular Irish songs were rendered and a pleasant evening was spent.

The Peat Question.—At a meeting of the members of the Royal Dublin Society, held recently in their house, Kildare street, the chair was occupied by Mr. Howard Grubb, C. E. The first communication brought before the meeting was by Alexander MacDonnell, the subject being “Notes on Peat.” The paper dealt with the different descriptions of peat made in Belgium, of which he found the density to correspond with that found in the bogs of Ireland. One cubic foot of peat was found to be equal to 8.7 lbs. of German peat, and varied from 6 to 12 lbs per cubic foot. Peat in some parts of Germany was dried in sheds, a process which he believed to be very expensive. He explained at length the most approved methods for the production of compressed peat, and expressed his belief that a satisfactory solution of the question of compression would be the making of a great part of the West of Ireland.

Boston Pilot (1838-1857), Volume 19, Number 36, 6 September 1856

Poets and Beer; The house in which Moore was born is now a whiskey shop; Burn’s native cottage is a public house; Shelly’s house at Great Marlow, is a beer shop; the spot where Scott was born is occupied by a building used for a similar purpose; and even Coleridge’s residence at Nether Stowey, the very’ house in which the poet composed his sweet “Ode to the Nightingale,” is now an ordinary beer house. A house also in which James Montgomery lived for forty years at Sheffield is now a beer shop.
