GLUCOSE.

In recent number of the Popular
Science Monthly was an article by Pro-
lessor Wiley on the manufacture of glu-
cose and grape sugar. The latter is only
an extension Of the process for making
the former-a process by which bushel
of corn at 30 cents may be converted
into dollars worth of glucose (manu-
facturers' price) at an expense leaving a
clear gain of IS to so per cent. The
professor shows that there has been great
progress in this new industry. There
are twenty immense glucose factories
either built or in process of construc-
tion. Already capital of over So, ,000,-
600 is invested in the business. The
daily consumption of corn for the manu-
facture of glucose is about $4,000
bushels, and the annual amount about
II, 100000. All these factories have
sprung upin the last twelve years. They
are run day and night, Sundays included,
to meet the demand, and still fail to sup
ply it. Glucose is sweet syrup made
from corn starch, resembling in appear
ance the molasses of cane sugar and by
reason of it's greater cheapness, largely
affecting the consumption of the cane
product. Grape sugar is made to resem-
BILE finely powdered sugar, and is used
extensively to adulterate the. sugar of
commerce. Glucose is used chiefly for
the manufacture of table syrups, but
also in candies, and food Tor bees, by
brewers both in this country and in
England, and for making artificial honey,
the combs being nodded out of parafine.
Grape sugar is also applied to some of
the same purposes, but principally for
the adulteration of other sugars. The
professor estimates that not less than
II, 600, 900 bushels of corn will be con:
verted into glucose and grape sugar dur
ing the present year, and says "that
every indication leads to the belief that
the amount will be doubled in 1882" "
One of the three glucose factories of
Buffalo moved west because it would not
pay $4,000 a year for water supply. 1t
went to Des Moines, Iowa, where it gets
water for nothing and is made free of all
taxes for ten years. As to the patent
honey, the professor says that the comb
and hone y are handsomer than the finest
white clover vermont" and can be
sold at half the price at a great profit.
Glucose does not seem to be unwhole.

Peri1S Of the Deem.

A terrible tempest swept the coast of Great
Britain on the 22d of November and ragged for
nearly a week, during which time great loss Of
life and property was entailed. An iron chip,
Clyde, Scotland, was wrecked and twenty-on
persons drowned. Eight fishing boats were de-
stroyed at Stornoway, and the Ardigour Hotel,
at Fort Williams, was flooded by the sea, three
or four feet of gravel being left in the rooms.
At Blackpool the sea swept through the streets,
one thoroughfare being under six feet of wa
ter. At Dublin the storm was the severest
known for many years, and at Spiddal, County
Galway, it was the worst experienced for half a
century. Shipping on the coast suffered terri
bly,. The ship T. Harris foundered and all on
board were drowned. The bark Barbara, from
Rangoon for Liverpool, was totally wrecked in
West Bay, Pembrokeshire. All hands were
saved except the captain. A brigantine was
seen about mile outside of Ardrossa battling
and her crew, seven OF eight in number, we're
lost Her majestys ship, Spiegele,- put into
Queenstown greatly damaged. Twelve of the
crew of the bark Adept, abandoned at sea, were
drowned. The Spanish steamer Jasetlands,
from Liverpool, foundered on entering the har-
Dor at San Sebastian. 1t is feared that many
disasters occurred in the Bay of Biscay during
the storm. The steamer Brooklyn, at Liver
pool, from Montreal and Quebec, lost 5e1 sheep
and III head of cattle and had her cargo
shifted.
Thirty-two persons were drowned by the
laundering of the steamer Albion off Burbacoas.
Eight were saved. The vessel and cargo was
valued at 100000.
The first mate and four seamen of the bark
France, which was wrecked in hurricane,
October a, were picked up by passing vessel
and taken to Charleston, S. C. Two other
boats were lost. The survivors recount fear
full tale Of suffering.
During recent gale on Lake Erie, the
schooner E. P. Dorr, laden with oak and black
walnut, became waterlogged and went to pieces
off Port Colburne, Ont, seven men were lost.
The wife of the captain, an invalid, residing at
Buffalo, died soon after receiving the news of
the disaster.

retired from the lord chancellorship of

retired from the lord chancellorship of
Ireland and will take the otiune cum dig.
on a pension of $18, ,46O. He is succeed
ed by Hugh Law, who is thus advanced
from the modest income of $12, 800 to the
very comfortable salary Of $4,000. He,
in turn, is succeeded by the solicitor
general, VIM. NJ. Johnson, who is ad-
vanced from the beggarly pittance of
$3.50 to the salary that the new lord
chancellor has been drawing. Sixty
five of the highest judges get an average
salary Of about 1923, 900 each, and they
retire on pensions of two-thirds Of that,
or more, The county court judges get
81, 500 each. Four members of The cabi-
net get $4,000 each, three get $22, 500
each and there are a few petty allowances
of $4,000 each. But Mr.. Gladstone
gets $25, 900 as first lord of the treasury
and half of that in addition as chancellor
of the exchequer. Lord Selborne draws
$50, 900 in the former and 500, 900 in the
latter capacity. The two salaries give
him the same salary that President
Arthur draws, and the Presidents is the
only salary paid by the government Of
the United States that can be called
princely. Even this salary seems small
in comparison with that which Earl
Cowper gets for being lord-ieutenant of
Ireland-$l0O,0 900, besides $35, 900 more
for the salaries of his personal staff.
The salary of the President of the
United States sinks into insigni6cance
beside the allowance of the Marquis Of
Ripon, who must find some compensa-
ton for the disagreemento of the Calcutta
climate with him in the fact that as
viceroy of India his salary is $125, 900,
and the allowance for his travelling ex-
penses, entertainments, etc., raises the
amount to nearly 100000. The gov
ernor of one of the Australian colonies
gets the same salary as the President aud
the governor of another gets nearly
three-fourths as much. The governor
general of Canada gets as much as the
President. 1t mustbe pleasant to spend
few years in Bermuda with guberna-
torial salary of $13, ,73O, and still pleas
anter to rule the Barbados for $4,000
a year. But the son-in-law of David
Field earns $35, ,O00by administering the
affairs of Jamaica. The governor Of the
Indian provinces gets from $40, 900, paid
to the happy official who inhales Ceylon's
spicy breezes, to $4,000, which the
governor of Madras gets. The British
minister at Washington gets $35, 900, at
Vienna and Constantinople $40, 1000, and
lucky Lord Lyon has both Paris and
$780, The highest diplomatic salary
paid by the United States is $17,5OO.

GENEROUS SALARIES,

A comparison of the salaries paid off,
cials by foreign governments with those
allowed serving patriots by che govern
ment of the United States cannot but be
gratifying to those who lean toward re-
publican simplicity. While the amounts
paid United States officials are by no
means niggardly, they shrink to
pittances beside the government
pay-rolls abroad. The Chicago Times
prints some Of the figures, and in
comment says: Lord O'Hagan has just

months in America last year, several weeks of
which time was passedfn Minnesota. Mr..
Young, secretary of the State board of immi-
grafton accompanying him to the different
sections of the State. Mr.. Eason was very
much pleased with Minnesota and the people
he met here, and when he learned of the de-
struction of the State capitolby fire, with the
valuable law library, he wrote Mr.. Young he
should do himself the pleasure at his earliest
convenience of doing something toward max
ing up the loss of books. Yesterday large

as follows:
Volumes to 1910 Irish statutes; Q volumes

$aOO Damages Awarded to Soothe His
Lacerated Feelings.
The case of Phillip Haas against the
strakosch-H Hess opera company and VIM. F.
Davidson for 5000 damages, was resumed in
the municipal court yesterday forenoon.
Readers of the GLOBE will remember the cir
cumstances of the case. During the engage
ment of the English opera company in this
city last month, plaintiff purchased ticket
for one of the performances. Upon rendering
his check for his seat, he was informed that
it was already occupied by lady, The escort
of whom refused to give it up. Failing in
his efforts to procure sitting, he commenced
suit for $500 damages on the grounds of non-
fullfilment of contract. The case was COM
menced on Thursday, when several witnesses
were sworn.
Yesterday morning j. x. Davidson, mana.
ger of the house, was recalled and explained
the method of doing business. Chas. Haines,
employed at the Opera house, corroborated
the evidence OF Mr. Davidson. 6. A. John
son, the usher to whom plaintiff applied for
his seat, testified that a lady had taken the
seat in question by mistake and that she re-
fused to vacate. Mr.. Haas recounted the af
fair, which was backed by the testimo
nv of Edward Schrumeier.
The jury were out about five minutes and
returned verdict in favor of plaintiff fol
$500. A new trial will be asked for.
