The DiscOverer of Beet Sugar.

On the 7th Of last August a century had
elapsed since the death of Andreas Sigismund
Marggraf, the discoverer of beet root sugar. He
was born March 3, 1903, in Berlin. aud died
August 2. 1882 At that day he ranked foremost
of the chemists and physicists of his time. At
the age of twenty-niue he was elected a member
of the Society of Sciences, at Berlin. In l744
this society reOranized under the title of the
Academy of Sciences and Fine Arts, and Marg-
graf assigned to the physical section. and in
1760. became the director of that section. In
$780, the Academy of Sciences, in Paris, nomi-
mated him as foreign member.
The domain of chemistry was enriched by him
with a large number of important discoveries
and he il was who first appreciated the value of
the microscope aid in chemical analysis
and research. An investigation of the nature of
the sap of plants led him to study those consti-
discovery of a substance present in different
plants. and exactly like the sugar obtained from
the sugar of India. He obtained sugar
from different plants, especially from the man
Colds, now known and cultivated under the name
Of sugar beets. He also instituted numerous
periments regarding the best methods of prepar-
ing pure-sugar from these plants. Marggraf
was a man Of science /; he never thought of max
ing any practical of his discoveries, even
when he was convinced of their practical value.
His successor and pupil, Franz Carl Achard.
who was born in Berlin April %, 1853, ard died
on his estate in Silesia, April 90 1921 converted
Marggraf's discovery into a valuable agricultural
reality. BY devoting his mental and physical
strength, as well as his means, to experiments
on large scale. He died before he saw the
fruits of his labor ripen. Achard was the founder
of the German beet sugar MISUNDERSTANDING.

The Comet.

In the absence of any correct information re-
garding the movement of the comet, the follow
ing excerpt from the New York Mail and Err
press may repay perusal: The comet fend-we
mean the one who predicts that il will run into
the sun. and that everything will be burnt or
knocked out-seeing plainly that the earth is
safe this time, now announces IN tone of the
utmost confidence that this comet will be back
next year. and on account of the retardation of
its 1yration and the acceleration of its inward
motion, on account of the attraction of gravita-
ton. il will hit either or the sun; aud that
in any case, the world will come to an end then
For the information of nervous people, 1t may
be as well to assure them that the present
comet is revolving on an exceedingly elongated
eclipse. both parabolic and hyperbolic. The
name of this new comet, which Is not generally
known, is Smith, and he is u fiat-footed Repub-
Iican and very gassy. His coma, neuclens and
tail are all right, except the tail which got
broker in three places on the road and won I

SELECTED POETRY.
TOM.

Yes Toms the best fellow that ever you knew
Just listen to this
When the old mill took fire and the flooring fell
through,
And 1 with it, helpless there full in nv view.
What do you think my eyes saw through the fire.
That erept along. erept along, higher and higher
But Robin, my baby-boy, laughing to see
The shiningT He must have come there after me-
TOddled along from the cottage without
Any one missing him. Then, with shout
Oh how / shouted, % For Heavens sake men,
Save little Robin - Again and again
They tried. but the fire held them back like wall;
could hear them go at it, and at it. and call,
g Never mind, baby, sit still like a man,
Were coming to get you a. fast can
They could not see him, but could he sat
Still on beam, his little straw hat
Carefully placed by his side, and his eyes
Stared at the flames with a baby's surprise,
Calm and unconscious nearer it crept.
The roar Of the fire up above must havo kept
The sound Of his mothers voice shriekine his name
From reaching the child Rut heard it. Iteame
Again and aSain-O God, what a cry,
The axes went faster, saw the sparks hy
Where the men worked like tigers, nor minded the
heat
That scorched them-when, suddenly, there at their
feet
The great beams leaned in-they saw him-then
crash
Down came the wall The men made a dash
Jumped to get out Of the way-and thought
Z" Ais up with poor little Robin ~ and brought
Slowly the arm that was least hurt to hide
The sight Of the child there then swift at my side
Some one rushed by. and went right through tho
flame
Straight a dart-caught the child, and then came
Back with him-choking and crying-but saved
Saved, safe and sound.
oh how the men raved,
Shouted and cried, and hurrahed Then they all
Rushed at the work again. lest the back wall.
Where was lying away from the fire.
Should fall in and bury
Oh you'd admire
To see Robin He's bright IS a dime
Deep in some mischief, too. most OF the time
Tom il was saved i'm Now isn't it true,
Toms the best fellow that you knew
There's Robin now-ses he's strong as a log
And there comes Tom, too
Yes. Tom is our dog.

The Mealest YET

Portland people have of late adopted
good many ways to show their envy AMI
spite towards the citizens and commerclsi
interests of this city and vail y, bat, Il
what We hear is true-and cur authority Is
good one-they have climaxed all t.Emer
efforts at mecnuess. From, IS wehave sad,
GOOD authority. We hav. that man WAS
sent up here tins week TO collect gram SAM
PIES for exhibition TO emgrAnts coming to
that cir-, and juiging by what he DID, WAS
instructed 10 get the poorest average he
could find. At a'y rate It Is Known post
lively that this fellow travelled over th~
roai between this city and Pendl~ton, and
from fields, collected the poorest specimens
that offered. We do lot know whether or
not this Young man vas in the employ OF
certain Portland merchants. but one thing
- certain, he SAID he WAS collecting the
grain TO exhibit IN Portland. IN order to
snow what this valley produced. L}eTy-
boly mere understands that owing u the
excessive heat and the dry s,a7ol, and the
fact that much OF the gram west OF TINS
city was spring sowH, collection from
that section would not faiI!y represent the
crops of this valley To the south, east and
north the grain 10 such as fairly presents the
real status Of our crop. but from these points
this scaveuger cid not Ct any sample. IL
he had been honest in this work. he wOF'd
have had no trouble IN getting all the aver
age specimens he wanted The fact OF hns
soius about the work as lie ha-, Is the h-st
evidence of his dishonesty ii purpose l. IS
sail that he Iutenis this display for the
Mechanics Fair. Here occurs IN ogPor-

Probably not for household purposes, hut
for the Ircp-r irrigation of our yards ana

considerable expense is attached 70 the pr

ditioas are favorable IN tins city AID vale,
for procuring water IL this WAY. In a.
portions Of this valley We discover the eSls-

Make IL a Success.

As the SrArEsMAS of yesterday announced,
the trustees of the Agricultural Society have
decided upon holding a far, commencing
on tn; Sd day Of October about tuo months
hence AS the STATEsMAH has insisted,
there is not a single business man IN the city
of Walla Walls, who will not be directly
AMI financially benefited BY this fair, ana
there ought rot to be business man here
unwilling to recognize that fact, and to en-
phssize his interest by voluntary contrihu-
ton to the guarantee fund against which the
trustees csn draw IN case OF adverse circum-
stances which may make success impcssl-
bic: in which event. the bills would have to
he paid. The trustees are the contracting
parties and to them holders of bills will 90
fer settlement. Because they are trustees
and arc willing to serve as such for the COM
munity, is no reason why they should he
asked or expected to pay bills which have
benefited the whole community. Night
with equal prcpriety ask them to liqnidate
private accounts OF Individuals at our stores.
Walla Walia ought to have n lair TO which
citizens can with pride refer, and We be-
Eeve that she will have it this season. Ihe
trustees are thoroughly alive TO the interest
Of the city in this ma tier, and II they meet
with reasonable encouragement will make
success Of it. They have accepted the gen
erous offer of Mr. Stshl to occupy the town
hall during fair week. and this Will be used
day and evening for the display OF such
things as the deit fingers of the ladies' pre-
pare for expeditions. They have also made
arrangements for a series OF races at the
Diving Park, giving sIch premiums as
ought to attract good stock
Not only ought our fair be made an Indus
trial school, bu. ,ivilizer IN the sense IN
which nowadays we understand civri,zl-
