SORGHUM SUGAR IN JAPAN.

Sugar from sorghum, now in it's infancy in this
country, seems to be an old established industry
in Japan. According t. Consul-General Van
BureL the sugar is made from that species OF
tho plant known Chinese sorghum. which
grows luxurantly in all the southern portions
of the empire south of the thI ty sixth degree
of north latitude. The whole product of the EN-
pire in 1878 was 64,297,58O pounds. Importa-
ton in S7S was 81, 434, 8O5 pounds. For three
or four hundred years the processes OF granulat-
ing and refining sugars have been known and
practised.
Sorghum is not grown from the seed but
from cuttings la September selected stalks
are cut and buried in trenches foot deep
Through the winter from each joint OF the
stalks sprouts grow. In the spring these points
are cut off and set out in rows fifteen to
eighteen inches apart, and about the same
distance from each other in the rows. The
ground has previously been thoroughly dug
and pulverized by long bladed mattock.
The fertilizers used are ashes, fish, decOmposed
hay straw, and sea-weed, or nigh soil The
plants are thoroughly hOed. hilled and irrigated.
In October and November the leaves are
stripped off the stalks are cut and the hard
outer covering is removed, and the remaining
portion is then ground between rollers of stone
or hard wood. The cane Juice IA boiled In iron
kettles till the granulation takes place, when 1t
is placed IN bags and pressed dry. The ex-
pressed siIup is used as molasses. Dry upland
soils are required for the successful growth of
the cane and the expenditure of labor and
fertilizers is as great if not greater than for any
other crOD.

SURGERY FOR ENGINEERS.

IL is be ginning to be understood says The
Scientific american, that a limited knowledge
of operative surgery, certainly enough OF the art
to enable D man to tie an artery, stanch flow
of blood, OF bind up the wounds OF an injured
workman or traveller, is highly desirable II not
vitally necessary. to mechanics and engineers
This is especially true of the foremen of machine
shops engine divers and civil and mining
engineers. In many manufacturing opera
tons and in all works of constructive and MN
ing engineering, accidents are always liable to
happen; and not unfrequently the needed sur
geOn is miles away. In any case the advan-
tage OF having close at hand some one familiar
with Che first treatment of serious hurts, who
can do what is needful to be done in such
emergencies to keep the patients lif, from
wasting before the regular surgeons help can
be Obtained is beyond question. Hitherto, so
far as we know, provision for this important
line of instruction for young engineers and
forenen in constructive works has never been
made by our technical institutions. The
trustees of the University of Pennsylvania,
however. have now taken the first step 10 a
movement in this direction and have engaged
a lecturer on operative surgery to give course
of lectures on surgery to the senior scientific
classes of the collegiate department of the
University, especially the mining and engineer
ing sections. The innovation is a good one.

A SINGULAR SAND HILL.

According to The Reno (Nev.l Gazette there is
q remarkable hill of moving sand In Churchill
County, New, some sixty miles from Land
Springs Station. The dune ia about four miles
long, mile wide and from 100 to 400 feet
high The sand is so fine that if an ordinary
barley sack be filed and placed in moving
wagon, the jolling of the vehicle will empty
the sack and yet the sand has no form of dust
in it and is as clean az any sea- beach sand. The
mountain is 80 solid rs to give it musical
sound when trOd upon, and Oftentimes a bird
lighting ON it or a large lizard running across the
bottom, will start large quantity OF the sand
to sliding, which makes a noise resembling the
vibration of Telegraph wires with a hard wind
blowing, but SO much louder that it is often
heard at distance of six or seven miles, and 1t
is deafeniug to person standing within a
short distance of the sliding sand. A peculiar
feature of the dune, says The Gazette. is that it
is not stationary, but rolls slowly eastward, the
wind gathering 1t up on the west end and
carving it along the ridge until 1t IL again de-
posted at the eastern end. Mr. Monroe, a
well -knOwn surveyor having heard of the
rambling habits of this mammoth sand heap,
quite number of years ago took a careful
bearing of 1t while surveying Government
lands in that vicinity. Several years later he
visited the place, AMI found that the dune had
moved something over mile.

THE CHINESE AND THE ELECTRIC
LIGHT

Science still meets with many difficulties in its
progress into China, and the electric light il the
latest improvement which has excited tue sus-
picion and dislike Of the MaDdarins. The for
eien settlement at Shanghai has fol some time
been lighted on the Brush system, apparently
to the comfort aud delight of the denizeos of
the model settlement" as the foreign portion
OF the city is generally called. The promoters
appear. however, to have reckoDed without the
Chinese officials. They probably thought that
where gas was permitted, there could be no OBJ
lection to electricity. The Chinese Governor
of the district appears TO Ne Of a different opin-
ion. He has addressed letter to the senior
Foreign Consul req testing the removal OF all
the electric lamps. He has read, Me says. in
TRANSACTIONS from European papers, that ter
rible accidents have arisen from electricity, and
fatty refuses to permit the residents of Shang-
hal to be exposed to such dreadful risks. Hun
dreds OF thousands of houses might be de-
stroyed, millions of lives might be lost; even
the walls of the city might be blown down If
anything went wrong with the machines. He
has strictly forbidden his own countrymen to
