Effects Of sunlight on Flour.

1t frequently happens that wheat or
rye flour, in spite of the greatest care in
baking, yields an inferior loaf and
the failure is commonly attributed
to adulteration; but when submitted to
investigation neither microscopic nor
chemical tests reveal any adulteration.
Such flour is returned to the miller or
dealer as unfit for use. The miller says
the flour was injured by the heating of
the stones, and the dealer attributes the
defect to the circumstance that the sun
must have shone upon the sacks during
transportation. 1t has been proved by
numerous experiments that flour cannot
bear the action of the sun, even when
not exposed directly to its rays. When
flour is exposed to the heat of the sun
an alteration takes place in the gluten
similar to that produced by the heating
of the stones. For this reason it is adj
visable that the transportation of flour
should take place, if possible, on cool
days or by night, as well as that -four
should be stored in a cool place. - BoS-
ton Journal Of Chemistry.

The Handsomest Man in France.

Nowhere in all France can we meet
with men of finer or more robust frames
or of handsomer features than in
Lower Normandy. AS a matter of sta
tistics, the men of the Cotentin, although
unable as a body to stand back to back
with the men of the Doubs and Jura de-
partments-the descendants OF the
''seven-feet Burgundians have sell
dom to be excluded from the ranks of
the French cuirassiers on the ground of
insufficient height. As matter of per-
sonal observation, it is sufficient to visit
Bayeux or Coutances on market days
TO be convinced that the tall, athletic
looking farmers who are busy over the
sale of their stock or butter belong not
TO the conventional French type, but to
a wholly different one, and that leu
tonic or Scandinavian. In point of
complexion, too, we notice, at least in
certain districts, a like conformity to
the Northern races. Among the factory
..hands of st. Lo and the artisans of
Coutances a large proportion are found
TO possess the fair features-light hair
and blue eyes-and the long visage
which are characteristic of the Danish
and Norwegian types. And the fact OF
these peculiarities is rendered the more
conspicuous when we contrast with the
populations of these towns and neigh
borhoods that of Granville-distant not
twenty miles from Coutances-where
the prevalence of dark and wholly
dissimilar type suggests the presence OF
a seaborne colony, possibly of Basque
origin. British Quarterly ReUteW.

sundays Chronicle

Sundays issue of the San Francisco Chronicle IS the most complete monu ment of typographical success ever ef- fected on the Pacific coast. It consisted ot sixteen pages, and WAS mostly de- voted to the news about the one great topic of the day-the Triennial Con clave. A full history of the crigIn. rise and life If the order of Knights Tem- plar was given with more miuuttness than can be found in any ency clopeiia or history The account of the wars of the ancient order and its downfall, and the rise of the modern order, and the connecting hi ;orical links between the two was very interesting Co the student of pemplar history. IL was an epitOme that enable every reader tO be fully equipped with mental knowledge for the grand parade of the following day, This work took weeks of toll, research and preparation that cannot be estimated by money. The report of the opening ball of the preceding evening was perfect, from reportOrial standpoint. The whole was great surprise and gratItica- ton to the reading public. The paper is the greatest trophy of the Conclave. To say that the Chronicle displayed it's usual skill is but commonplace.

WHAT THE @CUL5HERDa ARE DOING

Boston IS about to surprise the coun-
 try, in the way of a biz show made up
 entirely of articles from 'furen parts"
 Those who have the management, went
 to Washington last winter and secured
 the passage of bill admitting goods for
 exhibition free of duty, but that was so
 long ago that it had passed out of the
 minds of most people. The foreign fair
 IS the topic of conversation all over
 Europe, where 1t has been well advertis-
 ed, but up to this date nothing has been
 done iD the way of advertising 1t in this
 country. They claim however, that there
 is no use of working up an excitement
 ID this country as in case of other pub
 lie exhibitions. Every foot Of space, so
 they say, has been taken, and the
 interior of the eight acre building of the Charitable Mechanics, Association has been decorated with the flags of al- most every nation. There will be nOth- Ing American except the ushers and door keepers, etc. The contributions for the exposition embrace works of art and relics, painting both ancient and
 modern, rare faces, medieval costumes of priestly vestments and ladies array, rich art tapestries, decorative embroid- cries, wonderful display of ceramics, m n-'rnis country. collection of auto graphs of royal personages and of those otherwise distinguished, Egyptian worries and statuetes, historical and artistic, ] old and beautiful furniture and designs. 1 that are 2,50O years old. | Oriental alabaster, figures in relief in 1 the Greek Etruscan art, said t. ba the l finest in the world.

 When the Presidential party first lei. the railroad and started on their over land Journey, it was announced that al newspaper correspondents had been left behind, and that the so-called "speclals" to this or that journal were spurious, and warning the public not to be imposed upon in that way, and at the same hme 1t was gwen out that re- liable information would be furnished by the writer. who IS beheved to be an attache of General Sheridan's party. But the leading newspapers Of the conn try had no idea of being confined to the prosy and uninteresting bulletins sent forth by Sheridan's clerk, and long be- fore the Presidential party reached the Yellowstone park, able and competent newspaper correspondents were on the ground who have since kept the public fully informed as to the movements Of the party, what they were doing and how they did it.

OUR shining neighbor of this morning
 has a rather ambiguous article on "re-
 pudiation." After lengthy discussion
 of examples, 1t finally seeks to apply i'm
 piled repudiation to the city authorities
 of Tucson. It says: {: Gas and water
 works have been established much to
 the convenience of our people and to the
 credit of our city. The capital which
 carried through these public improve
 ments was principally brought from
 foreign parts. The undertaking required
 risk, and capital was wary in taking
 hold; but as an indueement the city
 made pledges either express or implied,
 that these public improvements should be
 protected, that those who invested large
 sums of money through which 4baiU't5e
 protected. But the spirit of repudia-
 ton is in the land, and there are those
 among Us who brand these enterprises 'mOnopolies' and cry for competition,
 more water works The gas company
 Is a monopoly it must be put down This Is repudiation. It Is lngratitude."
 Leaving the point ot repudiatiOn It makes against the city authorities out of the question, the CITIZEN woulc like to know how 1t was that our ueighbor favored the establishment of water works, but did not favor the gas works ?
 And now, since the franchise of the gas company, if 1t ever had any, has been taken away, and given to the Electric Light company, that it has discovered the injustice of such a course, which 1t characterizes as a spirit of repudiation."
 How IS it that OUT neighbor only dis
 covered the injustice to the gas company,
 after that injustice had transpired, if it is
 injustice, and makes the appeal in time
 to save the franchise of the Water Con- pany, if 1t ever had any, but too late to save that Of the gas company? The gas company was equal to the needs of the city; the water company never was, nor never can be. If the gas company had DO vested rights, then the water con- pRny has none. And as the latter IS ut- l terly inadequate to meet the necessities of Tucson, and as there is much more need of setting its franchise aside, if it l has any, gs they have already done ID I the case of the gas company, We trust 1 our cotemporary wIll not cut the busi- ness short off, but allow some good, re- sponsible water company the same rights | and privileg ges the right of competition l that has been extended to the Electric l Light Company. Tucson needs more and better water, and must have it, and have it at an early date, too. The same rule that applies to the gas company ap- plies to tue water company, while the 1 reasons for such application are much l greater in the latter.

FoR many years past St. Louis and Chicago folks have been rivals, and not few tongue, pen and tisticuff fights
 have taken place between the COZ testants. But it now looks as though 'the future great" will have a grievance to settle with San Francisco before long. It will be remembered that at the meet ing of the Sir Knights at Chicago last year that some of the Sir Knights of California who were rich Tn worldly goods took exceptions to the treatment extended to them in Chicago, and, like overgrown hoys, complained of it, and some hard feelings grew mp between the Apollos of Chicago and the San Fran cisco Knights. So bitter was this feel ing tha; the Apollo Lodge declined to attend the Conclave at San Francisco, and took 8 trip to Europe instead as n soothing lotion for their troubled spir- its. But the St. Bernards early declared their intention to attend The Califor- mia Knights concluded to do She hand some thing by the St. Bernards, and forty of them took a special train, one car of which was devoted entirely to magnificent display of fruits, flowers and wines, and met them at Truckee and escorted them to the city, where they were met by two hundred California Knights on foot and on horseback and escorted to splendid quarters in the Pal ace hotel amid the roar of cannon and unbounded applause. The Sir Knights from St. Louis, who preceded the St. Bernards. were passed on the way with out any notice whatever. This way of OverdoinR and underdoing the proper thing cannot help but engender bitter feelings. We fear the San Francisco Sir Knights have made great mistake in other; without notice. We had SUD- posed that it was the duty of Sir Knights, without prejudice or bias, to attend on pilgrim warriors travelling from afar; to comfort and support all alike and receive them to the hospitaii- ties of the Generalissimo.

 England. believing that at least a DOT tion of the Irish people can never be made peacesble, thrifty and law abiding citizens in Ireland, has set on foot a scheme which looks as though it might prove profitable and advantageous to the people, and while the government would make nothing, or nothing to speak of, the propositiog is one that the poor of any nation ought to be glad to take hold of. The government in connection with the Canadian railway syndicate. will undertake to remove 5000 persons from Ireland to Manitoba next spring, and establish each family upon farm of 100 acres, equipped with buildings animals, implements, seed and food nee essary to the commencement of the cnl- tivation of wild lands. In return for this investment of the government, IL will hold lien on each farm for $500, without interest for three years, and after that bearing interest at the rate Of J Der cent per annunj. Upon the pay ment of that principal the occupant will obtain an absolute title in fee simple to tine land and all equipments. The scheme contemplates the location of 5O,- OOO families, or 25O,OOO persons, as rap idly as the lands can be selected and got ready for occupancy.
 Here Is proposition that has merit in it. It even offers greater induce meots to the immigrant, than the United States has offered. While the United States gives homestesds to actual set tiers, they must build their houses, fur nish thelr seed, and buy theIr own sup plies, which in three years would be much more than the $500 required by the British Government. But, II the immigrant finds that he is unable. at the end of three years to pay the SJOO, be can have as much more time as he | desires, by paying SIS interest annually. This, We believe, is the most liberal en- lgratIon scheme that has ever been in- augurated, and should be accepted by | all who desire to better their cOnditian | by securing land of their own. The land | is said to be as fine as any in the coun- try-the very best wheat land, one crop | of which would pay off the entire amount asked for transportation from Ireland to inc lands, and the equip ments as above enumerated. There can be but one objection offered, which IS the extreme cold of the northwest dur ing the winter season; but as thousands of people live there through choice, 1t would seem that less favored people should be able and willing to do so. We are glad to know that such proposition is about to be made Itoffers a solution of the Irish question. It also offers great inducements to those who desire to emigrate, and the exodus of such large numbers will tend to better the prospects of those who are left behind. The land owners will then be glad to rent their grounds at fair rental, or what would be still better for the peo- pie, sell land at reasonable prices.
