Corn Sugar.

Prof. Collier, chemist of the Agricult-
uraI Department, lis engaged in some
very important experiments, the pur-.
pose of which is to demonstrate the
practicability Of making sugar from
sorghum and from common cornstalks.
Notwithstanding it has been asserted in
some quarters that, as result of these
experiments, it has been shown that the
United States can make it's own sugar
from Indian corn, Prof. Collier says that
all experiments thus far are merely
tentative. The only fact proved is that
sugar can be made from Indian corn
and sorghum. Whether any process can
be devised so that it can be made cheap
enough tor practical use is is a question
yet undetermined. Prof Collier hopes
to know within short time. The ex-
periments thus far have been very crude,
the department not being provided even
with any rollers for extracting the juice,
and being compelled to cut the stalks
in an ordinary hay cutter. and to extract
the juice by pounding the cut stalks in
mortar. It is demonstrated, however,

MISCELLANEOUS GLEANINes.

Samuel Allen McCoskry, Bishop of
of the Diocese of Michigan, has been solemnly
deposed from the ministry of the Protestant
Episcopal Church by the unanimous consent of
the House of Bishops. This action was sur
prise to all save the members of the House,
it having been generally understood that the
resignation Of Bishop McCoskry, submitted
Immediately before his departure for Europe,
would be accepted. His deposition from the
ministry and from all it's offices, however, is not
the result of a former trial of charges of i'm
moral conduct but has been made simply on
the technical grounds of his abandonment of
his diocese and departure from the territory
of the United States while allegations affecting
his morality were in existence.
