One feature of this industry, remarks

beautiful glass chandeliers which have
become so fashionable of late, but they
import the cut-glass pendants from

them by hand cheaper than they can be
made by machinery in this country.
Many OF these chandeliers are sent to

IL is said there is n newly
process through which sugar Of the best
quality can be made out OF corn. Every
one must have observed tue sweetness
OF our common corn, owing to the sugar
contained in it.. but until now no one
has found out process whereby this
sugar can be economically extracted
from the grain. by this discovery il is
alleged that thousand pounds or sugar
can be made out Of the corn grown on a
single acre, which, OF course. would give
the farmer far better returns than he
now obtains from that crop, or indeed
from almost any other now grown.
