Sorghum Sugar.

The lons-looked-for report of the Nation
al AcadeNysaf Sciences upon the subject Of
sorghum sugar has just been printed. The
delay has given the &C mmission en- oppor-
tunity to aGd to their report the results OF
i the crop OF 1882, as also some meters oil
/ historical interest relating to sorghum.
| The report says:
| Many efforts were naade to establish this in.
dustry in various places as part ofthe do
| nestic Work of the farm. These attempts
were rarely other than disappointment.
! That the crop may befvyidely and econoui-
amount of sugar, is sufficiently proved
All the problem remaining uasolved relates
20 the extraction of sugar. The facts as de-
fEeloped by the existing state of labratory
and heid practice appear to be as follows:
That the plants develop at maturity, and
when the seee is ripe g MAXIMUM OF cane
t'eagar and minimum of glucose; tkat
/ She maximuil, of cane sugar in
sorghum juices is found associated with
s.out one TENTH OF glucose and about one
nth OF its weight in solids; that after ma
tu-lty the relative proportions OF the chief
factors vary but little even for period of
three months or more provided the season
does not change: tnat all varieties resemble
each other in developing at maturity und
thesame conditions: nesrss the same-maxi.
muna percentages. The soil best adopted
appears to be sandy loam The successful
production of crystalzsd sugar on a com
nelcial scale appears to demand the skill
and appliances of 8 sugar house conducted
III q system" tic manner and with ample
capital. The best results in sugar ere OBJ
tanned only when the ripe cane is manu-
facturGG on the same day on which 1t is
cut. The seed Of ripe sorghum is yalu.
able feed crop for fattening animals with
maize, and in percentage is equal to f-om
two and half TO four bushels per ton of
cane. About 40 per cent. OF the Juice is lost
IN the bega&se. more than half OF which loss
may he saved by processes under inyestiga-
ton. The hegasse, when treated by pulp.
ng machine; gives a valuable paper stock
IN regions where fuel is dear the begasse
can be used with advantage.

Iceland is represented as almost in a
starving condition. The loss of stock
during the terrible winter of year
ago was the greatest known in the his
tory of Iceland, save during the erup-
ton Of Hecla in the 18th century; and
about $500, 200 worth Of stock perished.
This is a terrible loss Of working capital
to naturally poor people of but 7o, ,oGo
souls; and it must mean added poverty
for some years till the focks can be in
creased by their natural growth. The
only solution of the problem presenting
itself to the .Icelandic people seems to
be the desertion Of the countr;.;; and
there is movement for large .,.,.;igra-
ton to America, particularly to Dakota.
But money is SO scarce in Iceland that
he people cannot even realize on their
personal effects and land.

Bishop McMullen, ofthe Catholic diocese
OF Davenport, died at 4 o'clock on the 4th
inst, after an illness of more than wears
duration. His ailment was cancerous at-
lection Of. the stomach. He arrived in
Davenport, Aug. 25, 1881, and in six months
had visited every parish IN his diocese and
confirmed oyer 6, 600 persons. His ardnous
labors, with exposure, aggravated his dis
ease, compelling them to desist. He was
greatly beloved by his people here, and
much respected by the Protest ant com
munity. He was sensible to the last and
conversec with priests but few moments
before he died Bishop McMullen has very
often been given up to die but hes retained
bis hold OF life with astonishing strength.

The investigation which is now going
on in Washington ofthe doings of chief
architect Hill of the treasury depart
ment, is laying before the public and the
administration some valuable informa-
ton, which will be likely to stop impor-
tant leaks in the future, in the way Of
the purchase of building and other ma
terial at several times its value. The
mystery as to how it costs the govern
ment about three times as much as it
does other parties to build anything, is
being laid bare, and hereafter, perhaps,
it may be able to do such things at no
more than twice their actual cost. It is
the fashion Of q certain class os newspa-
pers and public men tn sneer and scout
at all such investigations and discredit
those engaged in such work, but the
great masses ofpeople ofboth political
parties take very different view Of
things. They want honest and econoln-
ical administration and joyfully hail every
indication of progress in that direction.

The new or meridian time standard
which is going into effect On all the rail-

the country is divided into five parallel
sections, running north aud south. each
section being fifteen degrees OF longi-

hours time by the passage Of the sun.
The sections are desis mated rs the last

Eastern will comprise all that part Of
the continent lying between line which
passes near the city Of st. John, N. b.
and the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic
section lies between the 18th and Goth
meridians, and comprises the seaboard
States from Maine to Florida on the
east and the tier Of States from Ohio to
Alabama on the west, also the lower
lakes. The Valley or Central section
lies between the 90,h and IO5sh meri-
dams. and embraces she Mississip pi
and Missouri valleys, the upper lakes
and Texas. The Mountain region.
lying between the lo5th and 10th meri-
