WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-The National Acad-
emy OF Sciences, through President o. G..
Marsh today made its report ON glucose to the
Commissioner Of internal revenue. After a
thorough investigation the conclusions reached
are that the manufacture of sugar from starch
Is a long established industry, scientifically
valuable and commercially important; second
that the processes which it emp ploys at the pres-
ent time are urobiectionsble in their charac-
ter, and leave the product uncontaminated;
third, that the starch sugar thus made and
sent into oscom merce, is of unexceptionable pur-
ity and uniformity of composition, and con-
tains no injurious substances; and fourth, that
though having at best only about tWo-thirds
the sweetening power of cane sugar, yet starch
sugar is in no way inferior to caue sugar in
healthfulness, there being no evidence before
the committee that maize starch, either in its
normal condition or fermented. has any delete
rous effect upon the system, even when taken
In large quantities. The report says in rela-
ton TO the extent of the starch sugar industry
in the United States, that it gives employment
to 20 factories, having an estimated capital OF
$5 ,000,00 consuming about 10000 bushels of
corn per day, and producing grape sugar and
glucose of the annual value of nearly 0,000,-
600. In Germany, in 1882, there were 80
factories OF this sort, consuming over 10000
tons OF starch and producing about 10000 tons
OF starch sugar. Starch sugar is chiefly used in
making table syrup, in brewing beer, as sub
stitute for malt, and in adnlterating cane su-
gar. 1t is also used to replace cane sugar in
confectionery, in canning fraits, III making
fruit jellies and in cooking. Artificial honey
is made with 1t, and so also is vinegar Starch
sugar represents one distinct class of sugars, as
cane sugar does the other, the former being
obtained naturally from the grape as the lat
ter is from the cane and the beet

An Historians Last Days.
How yohn Richard Green Worked While
Dying.

The following story of the way in which
Mr.. John Richard Green, the historian,
spent his last days, is taken from the preface
of ''The Conquest of England" recently
published in England by Messrs Macmillan
& Co. 1t is from the pen of Mrs. Green:
ga few words of introduction are needed
to the following unfinished story of the
Conquest of England in which may ex-
plain how far these pages in their present
form represent the final work and intention
of their writer. l cannot do this without
giving some short account of how the book
was written and the tale of the two volumes,
the Making of England and the Conquest
of England, forms in fact but one story.
After Mr.. Green had closed the fourth vol
ume of his History of the English People,
an apparent pause In the illness against
which he had long been struggling made it
seem possible that some years of life might
yet lie before him. For the first time he
could look forward to labor less fettered and
hindered than of old by stress of weakness,
in which he might gather up the fruit of
past years of preparation; and with the We
hement ardor Of new hope he threw him
self into schemes of work till then denied
him. But he had scarcely begun TO shape
his plans when they were suddenly cut
down. In the early spring of 1881 he was
seized by a violent attack of illness, and it
needed but little time to show that there
could never be any return of hope. The
days that might still be left to him must
henceferth be conquered day by day from
death. In the extremity of ruin and defeat
he found higher fidelity and q perfect
strength. The way of success was closed,
the way of courageous effort still lay open.
Touched with the spirit OF that impassioned
patriotism which animated all his powers,
he believed that before he died some faith
full work might yet be accomplished for
those who should come after him. AT the
moment of his greatest bodily weakness,
when fear had deepened into the conviction
that he had scarcely few weeks to live, his
decision was made. The old plans for work
were taken out, and from these a new
scheme was rapidly drawn up in such a
form that if strength lasted it might be-
wrought into continuous narrative. while
if life failed some finished part of it might
be embodied in the earlier History THUS
under the shadow of death the making of
England was begun. During the FIVE sum
mer months in which 1t was written that
shadow never lifted. II was the opinion of
his doctors that life was only prolonged from
day to day throughout that time by the as
tonishing force of his own will, by the con-
staney OF a resolve that wholly set aside all
personal aims. His courage took no touch
OF gloom or disappointment; every me ment
OF comparative ease was given to his task;
when such moments failed hours of languor
and distress were given with the same un-
faltering patience. AS he lay worn with
sickness, in his extreme weakness unable to
write line with his own hand, he was forced
for the first time to learn how to dictate; he
had net even strength himself to mark the

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Three four story ware
houses of Lawrence & Co, Nos 81, % and %
East street were burned this morning. The
total loss will not be less than S140 900. The fire
was discovered by workman, on the Sd floor
when he went to open the shutters early in the
morning, and must have been smouldering for
some time Great difficulty was experienced
in getting enough water to combat the flames,
and the best that could be done was to limit
the fire to the three buildings that were DOOM
ed to destruction. The juta bagging ware
house burned with fierce heat and q dense
smoke. The superintendent in charge of the
building sid that the loss and damage to the
bagging would exceed half its value. Closer
estimates make the total loss not less than
$230,000 L. Waterbury & Co., state they had
on storage 10000 rolls of jute baggng valued
at $S30,000, and this was damaged SIZE, 900.
Other losses reach 200. The building was
about wrecked.
This afternoon the middle building fell in
with crash, carrying with it the roofs of the
greater portions of houses on each side Later
estimates of losses reach $3.50, 900. The ware.

GRAND oR1ENTs APPEAL.
How the Masonic Bodies ia Now York
Regard the Request for Reimbursement.

New YORK, Jan. 14.-The members lof the
Masonic order in this City we're very much in
terested yesterday in q cable dispatch from
Paris in the mornings Times stating that the
Grand Orient of France had issued an appeal
to all the lodges of Freemasons in the world
requesting q renewal of the official relations
bstween that body and all the other branches
Of that order. The Grand Orient was dropped
from most of the other branches Of the Masonic
rite which exist throughout the world in 1873
because 1t departed from the fundamental
principle OF Masonry, which is belief in the
existence OF Supreme Deity and in the i'm
mortality OF the soul. The American lodges
OF Masonry had refused to recognize the Grand
Orient since 1869, when that body infringed
upon the territory of the Grand Chapter OF the
State of Louisiana by establishing o branch Of
the Grand Orient in that State and attempting
to found lodges there under the jurisdiction of
the french body. Consequently the informa-
ton that the Grand Orient had asked to be re-
ceiVed back again was received with surprise,
and Masons ara impatient to receive the APP
peal, which will undoubtedly state the grounds
on which renewal Of official relations Is
asked.
Grand Master J.aEdward Simmons, of the
Grand Chapter of the State of New York, said
to Times reporter, that the Grand Orient
would not be received back into the good grac-
es OF the Masonic lodges in this country unless
1t reeanted its heresy aud proclaimed belief
1n Deity Col 2. L. M. Ehlers, the Grand
Secretary, said that it was impossible to tell
how Masons would act upon the appealsof the
Grand Orient, until the basis upon which it
asked reinstatement was 'ascertained. They
have hitherto been defiant " said the Colonel,
"and am much surprised TO hear of this ac-
tion on their part. A belief in an everything
God is the fundamental spirit of the institu-
tion of Masonry. aad no Goddess temple can be
erected upon that superstructure. II the
Grand Orient were to reinstate the old clause
making it a vital requisite for their neophytes
to express belief in God, there is no doubt
that they would be received back into the or
der and fraternal relations restored between
them and the American body. James E. Nor
rison, tbs Deputy Grand High Priest of the
Grand Chapter, was also of the opinion that if
the Grand Orient should retract its infdelity
it wonld be renstated and fraternal relations
established between it and the remainder of

Careful observers and good judges Of our graia

in the summer, ween it was seen that this ere
would fall much below that Of the previous yW

who speculate in the Chicago markets beng

to rise. 1t did not. Then the Dealers who take
wider survey of the wheat markets, thought tn
about the close Of the year would see q great
vance, calculating that by that time the bg stoe.
OF wheat abroad would be reduced, and the cor
sumers would have to como to US. They waf
wrong also. The close Of the year has come an
gone, yet those foreign stocks still maintained
and other producers than ours continue 20 pour 4
their wheat at prices our farmers can not, " vii
not, sell at. Houses which have been carrying IA
grain in the hope of an improvement in the foreip
demand have broken down under the burden. Tn
past week has been bad one in the grain marks
here and in Chicago. 1t is evident that the fn'oi
nation of the trade about the present conditions
demand and supply is defective. Some grain .el
saw that foreign producers are selling thel< whea
at loss; but they said this three months age an,
it seems hardly likely that stores OF wheat Woalt
continue TO pour into the English markets In sndl
Unfinished volume all to be sold at q loss II Il /,
then of course the time Is not far distant When th
supplies must stop; but the fact remains that n
calculations made on this hypothesis months AE
have gone utterly wrong. 1t Is certain that III
