SORGHUM Sugar.

Experiments ia making sugar from sof-
ghum have not been very satisfactory.
There is no difficulty in making sugar
from sorghum, but the problem to be
solved is to make it cheaply. tits claimed
that at Vineland, n. j., where sorghum
cane Is extensively raised, and where
there is large sorghum sugar mill,
money is made in this industry. 1t IS
certain that a very large amount OF sor-
ghum sugar was produced there last year.
At different places in several States line
sorghum cane is raised, but it is used al
most wholly in making syrup. Outside
of the Vineland districts sorghum sugar
making has not been profitable. Not
withstanding this fact, however, the inn
preston is growing that sorghum sugar
can be profitably made in quite anumber OF
the States. Those who are enthusiastic
about sorghum sugar do not hesitate IN
saying that before many years the sugar
supply of this country will be almost
wholly obtained from sorghum
There are now in Washington sew
eral delegations urging Congress to
make an appropriation to continue the
experiments with sorghum. They want
these experiments made by the National
Academy Of Sciences, and not by the Ag-
ricultural Department. Heretofore the in
vestigations have been conducted by that
department, and Prof. Collier, who had
charge of them, was not very enthusiast
cally sustained. In fact, he lost his place
because, it is alleged, he differed so wide
~ with the Commissioner Of Agriculture
respecting these sorghum experiments. If
any progress is to be made in producing
sugar from sorghum, it must be by the
aid of science. The question is how to
get sufficiently large per cent. Of sugar
out of it to make the cultivation of it pay.
As this question, if it can be determined
at all, must be determined by scientific
investigation, the whole matter should
be turned over to the National Acad-
envy of Sciences. 1t looks as if
the requests of the delegates would be
needed by Congress. The $4,000 which
was in the appropriation bill, to be used
by the Agricultural Department for sor-
ghum sugar experiments, has been
stricken out, and it is regarded as prOba-
BILE that a like, or larger, sum will be
given to the National Academy Of Sciences
with which to make such experiments.
Should the experiments prove sue
cessful, the production OF this kind of
sugar will doubtless be undertaken in
Southern Georgia on a large scale, be-
cause the soil and climate are well adapted
to the growing of sorghum cane.

The Arctic Heroes.

The arrival and burial of the mortal re-
mains of Lieut.. belong and his COM
paniops OF the ill-fated Jeanette lends
additional interest to the measures being
taken TO send an expedition to the Arctic
regions in search Of the Greedy party. 1t
will be remembered that the steamer
Jeanette was fitted out nearly five years
ago bv Mr.. James Gordon Bennett, Of the
New York Herald, for a voyage Of dis
covery in the Polar regions. She sailed
from san Francisco, passed through
Behring's Strait into the Arctic Ocean,
and after beating north and westward for
many weeks was caught in the ice and
crushed.
The crew escaped. and after surmount-
ing immense difficulties reached the
mouth of the Lena river on the northern
coast of Siberia. Here, almost IN slght
Of Russian settlements, Lieut.. DeLong
and a majority of his companions VINO
still survived the terrible scenes through
which they had passed, succumoed TO
hunger and cold, and were buried by the
survivors in a tomb built above ground
out of turf and stones.
Two years ago this month the Jeanette
relief expedition left New York and pro-
ceeding By way Of Moscow, reached IT.
kutsk. on the Lena river, early IN the
spring. Here a boat was built, and, after
a voyage of over 1900 miles down stream,
the mouth Of the river was reached on the
8th Of July. A vigorous search was IN
stituted in all directions, which continued
until November, when it was given up as
fruitless. and the party returned up the
river to Irkutsk.
In the meantime the survivors OF the
Jeanette had been able to communicate
the whereabouts of the bodies Of thelI
dead comrades, and a Geographic order
was sent to the relief expedition to return
to the mouth of the Lena. On March l.
last year, the party reached the rude tomo
in which the bodies of the ten lost eN-
plorers were found. The remains were
transported to Irkutsk and again Inferred.
Last November they were taken up and
the homeward journey, an account OF
which is yet fresh in the minds OF our
readers. began. Yesterday the funeral

The fate of this party and the doubts
existing as to the safety of the Greedy
expedition: the loss years ago of Sir John
Franklin and his companions, and the
history of this class of explorations gen
orally. are notable proofs Of the courage
and endurance ofman, AS well as of the i'm
mense risks taken by those who seek adj
venture in the Polar seas; but the profit
abIeness of Arctic expeditions from a
scientific. as well as practical point OF
view. are questions for serious cOntempla-
ton and discussion. The heroism of the
men who have engaged in these voyages,
however. whether dead or live, challenge
the admiration Of the world.

Mary AndersOn's Bank Roll
Nel0 York World.


Mary Anderson, | am told by one who
knows, is worth a cool $3j0,000. The bulk
of it is invested in United States bonds
and mortgages on valuable real estate.
She owns some property in Brooklyn, a
good deal of land in Long Branch, and
some more real estate here in New \ DIRK.
She is also the pOssessOr Of Il pretty pile
Of New York Central stock and some lit
tie Lake Shore. At one time she owned a
block of Louisville and Nashville, but she
was out of it when those shares rolled
down hill. Mary has 100000 in cash to
her credit in a bank in this city. That
is the extent of her ready money. Her
only great extravaganza, they tell me,
takes the direction of large expenditures
upon her younger sister, whose education
she is taking care of in most munilicent
way. 1t is pleasing to know that Mary
Anderson has assumed the full control OF
her own affairs at last. They used to be
absolutely in the hands of Doc. Griffin,
who ''allowed" her a little money now
and then with a stingy hand. Now
she dictates to him supremacy. He
receives a liberal salary from her for
managing the business of the concern,
and he has to account to her every
week as rigidly as though she didn't
know him from an old boot. The change
of base fretted the Docs naughty Ken
lucky spirit Tor time, DuJ ne unalIy
bowed to fate and now regards his sur
roundiugs with calm but ungrammatical
serenity. Mary has no idea of indulging
in matrimony for a long time to come.
She once said in my hearing; "If ever l
reach my ambition l may be satisfied to
settle down into a peaceful domes-
tic life. But l can't do my duty
as wife and remain on the
stage, and l shall never marry until am
done with acting altogether" l am in
clined to admire Mary's solid common
sense. She is not a woman who could en-
terrain any respect for man who would
consent to become a tail to her kite, as he
would have to who followed her around
the country carrying her shawl and keep
ing her feet warm. At the age of a, with
large fortune Of her own making, Mary
Anderson has good deal to be proud of.
She also has Doc Griffin.

/ Representative Turner appears to have
made a decided impression on the House
by his speech in the Manning-Chalmers
case. Mr.. James r. Randall, in his letter
to the Augusta Chronicle, has the follow
ing:
81 regret my unavoidable absence when
the Manufacturers case was before
the House. Mr.. Tillman, however, tells
me that if the people Of Georgia could
have been in the House galleries they
would have been proud indeed of Mr.. Tur-
uer. who, after mOdestly and studlOusly
waiting for two years, has reaped an
abundant reward and gone to the front
rank of Congressman. His report from
the committee, of which he is Chairman,
was a masterpiece of law and logic, to
saw nothing of its robust style. His speech
was luminous, profound and eloquent. 1t
made a deep and wonderful impression.
In his generosity he relinqulshed hall MS
hour to the opposition and so hampered
himself. but, from all accounts, no Geor-
gian.has, for years, created so favorable
an impression on friend or Zoe IN the
House. Tillman says: 1t was an able, a
statesmanlike speech. Turner will never
again want for an audience when he rises
in his seat. know now how 1t was that
he became so prominent in the Georgia
LEGISLATURE. The same remarkable quail
tiles will make him conspicuous and use
full here.'v
