Mil has been running for few days to get
the machinery smoothed up, and at noon yester-

turned out was trifie dark, owing to the ma

otherwise very ine appearing. The capacity
OF the mill is 225 barrels per day. For one
barrel 4sa6 bushels Of wheat is required, which
will be 1850 bushels Of wheat per day used at
the mill when running at full capacity. 1t is
expected to make the best flour in the country,
and to keep grinding day and night when once
fairly started The head miller is Mr. Smith,
gentleman who thoroughly understands his
business, and the proprietors are coniessedly

Aaron Burr,s First Duel.
New York Star.

Burr, during the summer of 1899,
lost patience under the attacks of Ham
ilton tartisans. He especially re-
sented rumot that had been started
to the effect that for legislative services
had cancelled bond against him for
S20, 900. Burr cast about for the au-
thor OF this rumor, intent on obtaining
satisfaction. John b. Church, a
distinguished New Yorker, the uncle
of hamilton, was heard openly
repeating the story as fact,
and him Burr held respon ,ible, send
ing him challenge to mortal combat,
which was promptly accepted. They
met at Ecboken. Church had for his
second one Abijah Hammond, while
Burr was attended by Judge Burke of
South Carolina. The serious affair
ended in joke that amused all New
York and furnished popular byword
in the city for some time.
On the morning of the duel, when
Eurr, before leaving home, handed his
second, Judge Burke, his pistol case,
he explained that the balls were cast

remarked a. he took the weapon from
his hand, that the ball hal not been
driven home.

spirit of sir Lucius O'Trigger. Il for

Burr bowed grim and gracious in &C

exchanged without effec., and then
Church made haste to apologize. and
the affair was over with hearty laugh
as the consequence.

ChIoroform for Cholera.

[Gen Jordon of The Mining Record
A tablespoonful of chloroform in about
four times as much water is an infalli-
BILE cure for cholera. A doctor who had
lived in Mobile, Ala, and had great sue
epidemic there, tod me about it. When,
in the Cuban revolution, went to
Cuba to help organize the insurgent
army, had a chance to try the remedy,
for a cholera epidemic broke out among
the troops. My first experiment was on
a negro who was in the last stages. 1t
cured him and hundreds after him.
When We marched the officers carried
bottles of chloroform, and if man fell
out, sick with cholera, the remedy was
applied and he was able to resume his
place. I have seen men lying on the
roadside in a state of collapse, almost
dead. An officer would ride up, dis
mount and apply the remedy, and be
fore the column had passed the mar

sorghum VS.. Beet Sugar.
fAtlanta Constitution.

The beet sugar industry has rec eived
many serious checks in this country, but
it undoubtedly has future before it.
AT present only two beet sugar factories
are in operation in North America. One
of these is at West Farnham, in Canada,
and the other is located at San Francisco.
The production of sugar from the sugar
beet has one great advantage over sorg-
hum. In the latter not only is the sea-
son of growth to be considered, but what
is of more Importance, the season of man
ufacture. Sugar manufacture from beets
can be continued all through the winter.
The sugar beet contains only one kind
of sugar, viz: sucrose. The amount of
glucose in the healthy, ripe beet is so
small as to be practically unappreciable.
In the sorghum, on the other hand, the
percentage of glucose, or uncrystalized
sugar. is often so great as TO unfit it for
sugar making.

BY the steamship City of Toxic there
arrived at San Francisco from China
fourteen coops of fancy chickens for the
geological gardens at London. These
fowls have been procured at great ex-
pense, and come of strains of great an
tiquity, some of them, it is claimed,
having been in the family of mandarin
in central China for over 800 years,
and none of them have ever been sold
before. They cost So apiece. The birds
vary in size and color, but the most
striking feature is the length of the tail
feather of the cocks, some q them being
eight feet long. These feathers are folded
in a roll and wrapped with ribbon to pre-
vent injury while en- route.

Curiosities OF Irrigation.
[Chicago Tribune

1t is found by actual experience that
after land has been saturated by irriga
ton few years it requires less water to
make crop of any grain, corn included,
and this is an important factor in the
future of the water-supply, for it means
that more land can be brought under
cultivation than was first thought pos
sible. Another fact is that irrigated
land does not seem to wear out-the
water acting as perpetual manure and
renewing its fertility as fast as exhausted
by cropping. This is said to be the ex-
perience of other countries, notably OF
the Pc valley of Italy, of southern
France and of Spain, where irrigation
has been practiced from time i'm,
memorial. 1t is the same in Old and
New Mexico for two centuries. The
Saints in Utah find their irrigated land
unimpoyerished after thirty or thirty
FIVE years of constant cropping.
