oners Of Sing Sing prison has brought the at
tention of the State Board OF Health to the insti
tuition. On Saturday Charles F. Wingate consult
ing engineer TO the State Board Of Health. made
a thorough examination OF the sewerage OF the
prison. He found that the prison cells were but
four feet above tidewater and that tide backs up
empted into the Hudson at low tide backs up
under the prison buildings, causing gases and other
disease breeding influences TO arise. The whole
plumbing system ne condemned unsanitary.
There are forty cases Of typhoid at present among
the convicts, and two deaths have resulted from
the disease during the last two months.
DR.. Daniel Lewis. OF this city. president Of the

Fish Story.

A new sheep food has been found in
Maine, particularly that part of it near
the seacoast and on the small islands
which dot the coastline. 1t is nothing
less than fish, n it is said hat the
sheep feeding on them do fairly well.
Most Of the sheep upon which the ex-
pertinent has been tried are pastured
upon the small islands, many of which
are but a few acres in extent. 1t costs
but little to feed sheep on this island
range, on which there is good grass
through the summer and plenty Of sea-
weeds in the winter. There is a small
numbers of which are at times thrown
up on h rocks by the waves, and these
fish, together with the weeds also drift
ed On the shores by the higher tides,
sustain the sheep without any other
food during the winter, when there is
no grass, but only hay. Another fish
is the frost fish, and these, as also the
'tommycod, nay be purchased for SO
cents a barrel, one barrel feeding three
sheep through the winter. Fish may
be brought for IS a ton, one ton feeding
16 sheep during the winter. On this
feed the sheep yield a fleece of from
four to seven pounds of a good quality
of wool. These mall fish when put UP
in tin boxes are the common sardines
of which those persons who eat then
as a luxury never think Of the source
nor of the fact that what they consume
as a luxury is the main support of the
