A RECENT article in the Scieatitf;
american, discussing the adultera-
ton of food, says that nearly al
the sugar as well as syrups we con.
sumo are adulterated with glucose.
The finding them for sale in a state
of purity occurs only in exceptional
cases. The higher the price and
grade of the sugar, the better the
adulteration pays, and therefore the
more liable is the sugar to be adul.
terated. Sugar sold as absolutely
pure and for Pharmaceutical use,
was found on analysis to contain
over FIVE per cent. of glucose. How
ever, the glucose is perfectly
harmless substance and never need
cause alarm to anyone. It may be
eaten and drank in candy. syrups
and sugar all our lives with perfect
impunity.

CONGRESSMAN SUMNER, Of Cali

ing the tool of the Pacific railroads.
as SO many western representatives
have been. Mr.. Sumner has intro
duced bill for fixing the freight
charges on the Central and Union
Pacific, his proposition being to
limit the rates 10 20 per cent. of
what they were on December Sd,
1883. 1t is not probable that Mr..
Summers bill will pass. as Congress
is not in the habit Of making that
class of laws. Seventy per cent. of
the 25 cent cut rate would prove very

the success of enterprises, and par
tieularly so when they are local in
dustries, involving the utilization
Of any Of the many resources of the
Territory. A highly pleasing success
in what We may term home manu-
facture has been achieved by the
Gefmania Lead Works, a few miles
soRth of the city. It will be re-
ylembered that few months ago ii
was announced in THE HERALD
that the concern mentioned had en-
gagged in the manufacture of white
lead, lead pipe and bar
lead. Good fortune attended the
venture from the first, and the bust.
ness grew SO rapidly that within a
few weeks the company has found
it necessary to increase the capacity
for making white lead to double
what it was at the start. The Ger
mania is now producing from eight
to ten tons daily Of manufactured
lead, and finds a ready market for it.
We do not understand that it sup
plies much of the local trade, out
side Of the lead pipe used by Mr..
David James in his plumbing bust
ness; but in San Francisco there is
an active demand for all that can be
furnished. In view of the fact that
San Francisco sends white lead
to this market it seems somewhat
strange that Salt Lake should be
shipping this article to the Bay.
The local lead is considered of first
class quality, being regarded as
equal to any, and vastly superior to
some that is found On sale. The pros
cess employed in its manufacture is
what is known as the dry process,
occupying eight days for the produc-
ton of each batch Of lead. The
company has recently gone into the
manufacture of bar Or strip lead. the
first carload lot having been sent to
San Francisco few days ago. The
products are given to the trade in
good merchantable shape, and with
the proper finish, which are matters
too often neglected by home manu-
facturers. Appropriate, attractive
has almost rs much to
do with bringing an article into
as quality. It is hoped
the Germania will soon find it cons
Venient to erect a shot tower, and
thus create labor, and save so much
more money to the country.
The Z. G, NJ. 1. Clothing manu-
factory is another established sue
cess of home manufactures. During
=. past season it was unable to !
su y the demand of the |
for overallg, over
shirts and underclothing. Re-
cent changes and improvements,
however, it is thought will obviate
the necessity tor further importa-
ton of such articles as are made at
the factory. Among the other
praiseworthy changes that have
been made, is one by which the fan
nels of the Provo Wooden Mills will
aereatter be used by the factory
they being in every respect equal to
she same class of goods made in

tionai Bank Circulation.
WASHINGTON, Feb 2l.-Bills were introduced
and referred:
By Mr.. Cullom: To improve the navigation of
the Mississippi river by adding to and strength
ening Sny island levee
Mr. Garland called up and asked immediate
consideration of the bill providing for the pun
ishment of persons falsely personating officers
and employees of the United States. Passed. 1t
provides that any person who. with intent to de
fraud, shall falsely personate government officers
or employees. or receive any valuable eonsidera-
ton or document by reason of such personation,
shall be deemed guilty of felony and on con
victon be fined not to exceed 81, 600 or imprison-
ment not to exceed three years, or both, in the
discretion of the court.
The Senate suspended further consideration
of morning business in order to resume the de
bate on the bill to provide for the issue of cir
culation Of national banking associations, and
Mr.. Morgan addressed the Senate in support Of
the amendment offered by him, permitting ma
tional banks to deposte bonds of separate
States as security for their circulation
While Mr.. Morgan was speaking, Mr.. Herman
INTERVIEWED with joint resolution, which was
Immediately passed, appropriating 10000 for
the contingent fund of the Senate.
Mr. Sherman said the resolution was necessary
to enable the committee on privileges and cleo
tons to continue the investigation.
A long debate followed on Mr.. Morgan's
amendment, participated in by Messrs MaXey,
Plumb, Butler Beck, George, Harris, Allison,
Ingalls, Bayard. Morrill,, Aldrch, and McPher-
son. Finally Mr.. Morgan withdrew his amend
ment, and the question REQUIRED on the bill.
Mr. George rose to address the Senate, but a
motion for executive session prevailed, and the
Senate soon adjourned until Monday.

The above figures show that in twenty-seven
years, from 1882 to 1859, we had three foods.
viz: floods in 1882, ES47 and 1859 or one in nine
years; also, that in the next thirty-fve years,
from 1889 to 1884, we have had eight floods, or
one in every four and one-half years; and three
in the last three years, viz; in February Of 81
'83 and "a, and two of these larger than any
known in the history of the Ohio river.
The above figures are pretty reliable evidence
that the cutting away of the forests increases the
frequency of the floods. and the last three that
the local drainage of farms by tile drains, and
of marshy sections of country by bitches, also
increases the frequency and the volume of these
floods.
predict do more, I afirn-that the melting
of the same amount of snow and of rain
fall in February, 1885, as we have
had this February will produce a greater flood,
and for the reason that there will be an increase
of local drainage in the States which empty their
waters into the Ohio. Suppose for instance,
that the Kankakee ditch river bed as surveyed
is made this year, and its flood instead of taking
a month to get out of Indiana leaves the State
in two or three days, or if not that that a
thousand new small bitches pour as much water
out of the State within week. VIII not this
additional water make greater even the Ohiol
The questions the consideration Of the above
suggest are as follows:

corning interstate drainage-the deepening
Strengthening of rivers, etc
, The journal has asked this virtually: Ought
not river towns to be built on higher ground!
Are such places as Lawrenceburg and jefferson
vile suitable for the building of large manu-
factories or as depots for amy considerable
storage! Are not inland towns better, because
away from floods and as secure from fire!
These and like questions are practical. Our
rivers are much more dangerous, because of sud
den overhows than ever before. The disasters
of this year will be repeated. but larger
scale, if cities almost destroyed are rebuilt. 1t
will be sinking of money-the making Of u
