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 80 cents may be converted
into dollars worth of glucose (manu-
facturers' price, at an expense leaving a
clear gain of 35 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-
ton. Already capital of over So, 0OO,-
900 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 its 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
IL 900, 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 1892"
One of the three glucose factories of
Buffalo moved west because it would not
pay $40, 900 year for water supply. 1t
went to Des MONIES, 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 honey 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-
some, if carefully made; but it is never
sold for what it is, but for something
else, and is therefore fraud that needs

GENEROUS SALARIES.

A comparison of the salaries paid off :
Gals by foreign governments with those
allowed serving patriots by the 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
retired from the lord chancellorship of
Ireland and will take the Otiune cum diq.
on apension of S1S, 460. He is succeed
ed by Hugh Law, who is thus advanced
from the modest income of S12, 800 to the
very comfortable salary of $40, 900. He.
IN turn, is succeeded by the solicitor
general, VIM. NJ. johnson, who is ad-
vanced from the beggarly pittance of
SS,o7 to the salary that the new lord
chancellor has been drawing. Sixty
five of the highest judges get an average
salary of about 5000 each, and they
retire on pensions of two-thirds of that.
or more. The county court judges get
$500 each. Four members of the cabl-
net get $4,000 each, three get so, 500
each and there are few petty allowances
of $4,000 each. But Mr.. Gladstone
gets S25, 900 as first lord of the treasury
and half of that in addition as chancellor
OF the exchequer. Lord Selborne draws
S30,00O Id the former and $40, 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-lieutenant OF
Ireland-Sl00, 900, besides S35, 900 more
for the salaries of his personal staff.
The salary of the President of the
United States sinks into insignifcance
beside the allowance of the Marquis of
Ripon, who must find some compensa-
ton for the disagreement of the Calcutta
climate with him in the fact that as
vlceroy of India his salary is 1925, 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 and
the governor of another gets nearly
three-fourths as much. The governor.
general of Canada gets as much as the
President. 1t must be pleasant to spend
few years in Bermuda with guberna
torial salary of S13, 730, and still pleas,
anter to rule the Barbados for 800, O0C

Field earns $50, 000by administering the

Edwin Forrest,

Barrett's "Life of Edwin Forrest "
contains many interesting anecdotes of
the famous tragedian; but there still re-
main many which have never been
printed. Once, when he was playing
+" William Tell" in Boston, Sarnem,
Gesler's lieutenant, should have re-
marked: 81 see you love jest; but
jest not now" Imagine Forests feel

play an official announced ga currier

THE BUREAU OF AGRICULTURE,

The committee appointed by the Ma
tlonal Grange TO confer with Dr. Loring.
commissioner of agriculture, in relation
to elevating his department to higher
rank, and to convey the protest of the
National Grange against includin in
that department other industries beyond
the legitim ate one which 1t represents
agrlculture-haved discharged that duty.
commissioner Lorlng, In reply, said he
had advocated the enlargement of his
department SO as to include those inter-
ests which were Intimately, and to a
great extent, lnseparably allied to agri-
culture. A bureau of manufacture ought
to be established, where producers could
find such information as would be for
their best interests in the production of
cotton, wool, etc. There should be a
mining bureau. President Garfield, a
short time before he received his death
wound, said he thought the land office
ought to be connected with new depart
ment of industries As to railroads, he
thought that something might be done
by which the whole country might be
benefited in the way of equalization of
fares and transportation. He thought it
would be benefit to have a tabulated
rate of freights and fares, showing the
working of the railroad systems of differ
ent states in connection with the agricul-
tural interests. Transportation by land
and water was closely allied to agricul-
ture. The commissioner could not urge
any action looking towards making his a
cabinet Office. This he left to the country
and allegations which the agricultural
interests may demand

Gufteau,s Trial.

Seventh Ddy.-An unusual crowd gathered
at the court loom on the 21st inst The pris-
oner was escorted from the jail by three mount
ed policemen in addition to the two guards on
the van. Owing to an unpleasantness between
Robinson and Scoville, the former withdrew
from the case formally. Drs. Woodward and
Lamb testified that the Presidents wound was
mortal, after which the prosecution rested their
case. Gulteau was allowed a hearing and made
few rambling remarks without rising from his
seat. ScoUlle addressed the jury at consider
able length. after which the court adjourned.
Eighth Day.-The proceedings began with
the continuation Of Scoville's argument in
winch he reclted numerous cases of "queer
ness on the part of his client during years
gone by. Guiteau fretted considerably under
imputations of insanity made by Scoville and
interrupted the latter repeatedly. The district
attorney intimated that Scoville and Guiteau
were enacting part to influence the jury. Sco-
Vile denied the insinuation and said Corkhil
would be answered when the time came for
argument. The prisoner became convulsed
with passion and shouted out "You lie 1! You
he! You will not have any success from the
Lord for lyingn' After reading number of
Gulteaus old letters the court adjourned.
Ninth Ddy.--Witnesses for the defense were
examined on the 23d inst. The Rev. H. n
Burton, of Kalamazoo, Mich, who heard
GuIteau lecture in 1877, did not think he was
irresponsible at that time, although he was
peculiar. Dr. John A. Rice, of Merton; Wis,
thought Gulteau was insane. Other witnesses
were examined to prove the insanity of various
members of the Guiteau family. The assassin

which seemed to please him amazingly. He
made the usual number Of Interruptions and

Tenth Ddy.-The great trial continued on the
25th, the prisoner as usual, contradictipg wit
nesses and abusing the counsel and court, He
made statement in which he charges the press
and the doctors with the responsibility of the
Presidents death. He also made a scandalous
statement concerning his former wife's char
acter. The witnesses examined were nearly all
associates and people who knew Guiteau in
early life. Nearly all testified to his queerness
and apparent insanity.
