Glucose and Crane Sugar.

The Popular Science Monthly has a
timely article by Prof. Wiley on the
manufacture of glucose and of grape
sugar, the latter being simply an ex-
tension of the process for making the
former. This industry sprang up about
twelve years ago, and is rapidly extern
ding Glucose is a sweet syrup made
from corn starch, resembling in APP
pearance the molasses of cane sugar,
and by reason of its greater cheapness
largely affecting the consumption of
the cane product. Grape sugar is made
to resemble a finely powdered sugar,
and is used extensively to adulterate
the sugar of commerce. Glucose is
used chiefly for the manufacture of
taple syrups, but also in candies, as
food for bees, by brewers, both in this
country and in England, and for max
ing artificial honey, the combs being
nodded out of paraffine. Grape sugar
is also applied to some of the same
purposes, but principally for the adul-
teration of other sugars. The cheap
ness with which glucose syrup and
grape sugar can be produced has led
to its extensive use. The most flour
ishing manufactures are at the West,
where corn was bought last year at a
little less than thirty cents per bushel.
As from twenty-six TO thirty-two pounds
of glucose syrup or of grain sugar are
made from a bushel of the corn, the
average cost of either to the manufac-
turer is about one cent per pound. AS
he sells either articles at three to four
cents per pound, the business is very
lucrative one, and is rapidly extending.
On the LIST of August there were ten
factories III operation in the United
States, consuming daily about twenty
thousand bushels of corn. There were
also in process of construction nine
other factories, with total daily capac-
ity of twenty-five thousand bushels of
corn. Prof. Wiley estimates that not
less than eleven million bushels of
corn will be converted into glucose and
grape sugar during the present year,
and says that every indication leads to
the belief that the amount will be doub-

The Body of an Indian Woman Turned
into Stone.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Sixteen miles from Looansport, on
the State line division of the Farmland
lie Railroad. is situated the Village of
Idaville. Near this place is located a
cemetery, and in this silent city of the
dead a discovery has just been made
which can indeed be characterized as
strange and sensational. A few days
ago, man named Samuel Wilson de-
sired to remove the remains of his wife,
who died six years ago, and those OF
his father, whose death took place
thirteen years since. Accordingly he
procured help, and the work of excav-
ating began. The grave in which the
fathers remains lay was first opened,
when it was found that nothing except
the bare skeleton remained. Then tn
wife's grave, which was less than two feet
distance, was excavated, Upon reach
ing bottom the startling discovery was
made that the body was petrfied. The
arms and limbs. however, had withstoOd
the effect of whatever element in the
earth had caused the petrification to
occur, and nothing remained of them
but the bones. The trunk of the body
was as hard as flint, and upon being
| taken from the grave was found to
weigh about 800 pounds, while the
woman during her life weighed about
| 40 pounds. The case has caused a
! good deal of interest to be manifested
! in the matter, and, although the wise
men of the neigborhood have put their
! heads together in council, they can
study out no satisfactory reason why
| the woman's body should thus be turn
| ed into stone and the other remains,
! located so near, should be in no way
| affected by the petritiying influence.
| Another strange feature of the case Is the
| fact of the arms and limbs turning to
dust while the remainder of the body
| hardened into stone. The woman
whose remains are thus attracting so
much attention was once resident ~
Harrison Township, this county, and 1t
was there she and Mr.. Wilson were
married. She was daughter of John
Small, a respected old farmer, and her
self and husband took up their resi-
| dence near Idaville about the year 1867.
| The case of petrification is the only one
ever known in this section of Indiana,
and, as natural consequence, a large
number of people have taken the pains
to see the strange sight.
THE Chinese Six Companies OF San
Francisco have combined for the pur-
pose of testing the constitutionalltv of
Nevada's new opium law. Tn Y
provides that the simple fact o per
son having opium or an oplu me IN
mis- or her possession shall &C a
misdemeanor, punishable b. or
Imprisonment. With view ~.ltlng
this law three attorneys hav, en- re-
tanned by the powerful Chinese COM
panies-two from California and one
from Nevada. IF necessary these
attorneys will carry the case TO the
supreme court at Washington. The
reason the Six Companies are so bitter
lv opposed to the law is that if it holds
good it will close one of their greatest
sources of revenue. The trade IN
opium gives enormous profits to these
companies, who virtually have mono
poly of the trade, so far as the coast Is
concerned.

SECOND EDITION
A HEROIC DEATH.

TWO BROTHERS, RAILROAD WORK
ERs, sAcRrFHE THEIR OWN
LIVES TO SAVE THOSE OF OTHERS.
PITTsBURG, Pa, March "a.
Two workmen on the Baltimore
and Ohio road to- day gave a won-
deIful evidence of their fidelity,
deliberately choosing death to
themselves in order to protect the
lives Of hundred others who were
in the care of the company. About
half-past two O'Clock this afternoon
John Sullivan and his brother,
Michael, were at work on the track,
near Demmler station. John Sulli-
van was the section boss of the sub
division between McKeesport and
Port Perry, and he had made a tour
along the track to see if everything
was IN proper condition. He found
rail that was not quite straight; so
he and his brother took a heavy
trackman's crowbar and lifted the
rail up to straighten 1T.
While they were bus;ly at work the
afternoon accommodation train bound
east with heavy load of passengers
came along. There was curve Just
below the place where the men were
working, and they did not see the
train until it was almost upon them.
They took in the situation at glance.
The rail which they had been fixing
was lifted up and the huge crowbar
was wedged tightly in such position
that the train would certainly be
thrown from the track unless the bar
were removed. On one side of the
track was a hill and OH the other a
steep bank running down to the river,
SO If the train was thrown from the
track while under full headway of
steam there would undoubtedly be an
appalling loss of life.
The men seized the bar and began
frantically to pull and twist it about.
The engineer of the train saw them,
but could not stop, He says that their
efforts to free the crowbar and lower
the rail were frantic and like the
workings of madmen, and they SEEM
ed to forget their own danger. The
bar was loosened and the rail lowered
just as the train reached it, but the
men who had done nobly paid dear
ly for their daring. The engine struck
them and killed John instantly, and
mangled Michael so frighJfully that
he died in short time. The men
were married and leave families.
