Sugar.Making Experiments.

Sugar planters have long been aware that
large percentage of the sugar in sugar
cane and sorghum has been lost either in
milling or in the processes of manufacture.
1t is scarcely eXtravagant to say that during
the last decade fully half Of the sugar the
soil has produced has been lost before the
manufactured article has entered COM
merce 1t was with the purpose of check
ing this waste that the United States de-
Dartneut of agriculture undertook the eX-
neriments mentioned. To avoid the loss of
milling it was determined to try the process
of diffusion. For this purpose apparatus
was erected in Kansas for cutting sorghum
cane into thin slices and extracting the
sugar therefrom in a diffusion battery con-
sisting of ten cells. The result of the ex-
pertinent was highly gratifying. The degree
of eXtractionwas fully9S per cent of the total
sugars present. Mechanical difficulties in
the form of the apparatus. which could not
have been foreseen, interfered somewhat
with the successful working of the process
economically, but these difficulties are read
lily overcome.
To avoid the loss incident to the usual
process of manufacture the process
known in the beet sugar industry as Car
bonatation was tried. The experiment was
conducted under the supervision of Mr.. g.
L. Spencer and the results were entirely
satisfactory.
To the juice as it comes from the mill or
the diffusion battery a large excess of lime
is added. and this is afterwards precipitated
by blowing through the mixture current
of carbonic acid gas, the precipitate which
falls carries down with it nearly all the i'm
purities of the juice and leaves them in a
state suitable for easy separation by fltra-
ton. The use of the process entirely sup
presses the losses from scums and affords
a product in every way superior to that
given by the old method.
1t was the intention of the department tn
make similar experiments in louisiana
and preparations for them are nearly fin
ished. Delay, however. in getting a part Of
the apparatus and the improvements sug,
gested by the experiments in Kansas rem
dered it advisable to postpone this work for
another year.

Chinese Railroads.

Special to the GLOBE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-It is said that the
emperor of China is anxious to establish
railroads throughout the empire and is most
favorably inclined toward the American
railroad system. Baron de Lorme, late an
engineer in the French navy, has returned
from China with the intention of organic
ing an American corporation, for
which he asserts the Chinese gov
eminent will guarantee bonds and
the interest thereon necessary to
construct the road and will make other
liberal concessions. Mr. Nathaniel Mckay,
a contractor, is interested with Baron de
Lorme in forming company. He has in
vited the following gentlemen to meet at
the Fifth avenue hotel this evening to dis
cuss the subject: Russell Sage, A. S.
Hewitt, S. j. Randall. William 81. Bar

A NOVEL SCHEME.

The European complication might be UNI
raveled by the European nations other than
Great Britain contributing to the scheme
proposed by JOHN G.GooDRIDGE, the New
York engineer, in a recent number of the
Scientific American. He presentsa curious
plan for changing the temperature of the
Atlantic states by giving them more benefit
of the gulf stream. His plan looks very
nicely on paper, but the effect of it, if sue
cessful, would be to make our climate
warmer, but England so cold that it
would result in depopulating that country.
He assumes that the reason the Atlantic
states do not get the benefit of the gulf
stream now is that there is polar
current coming down along the coast
of Labrador, through the Straits of Belle
Isle and forming the cold western wall of
the gulf stream. The existence of the cur
rent has long been established, and, in fact,
is one of the facts on which the official sail
ing directions both in this country and Eng
land are based. What Mr.. GooDRIDGE
proposes is, that it should be stopped in the
Straits Of Belle Isle by dam at point
WuoT0 III Is dUOuG Ten IulleS Wlu6 anu LOU
feet deep. The dam, he says, could be
built with the adjacent rocks. and the cost
would not exceed $40, OOO,0 900. The effect
of this would be, he calculates, to change
the temperature of the coast from
Cape Hatteras to Newfoundland. Nova
Scotia would have climate as
mild as Cape May, and Block
island and Cape Cod would become winter
watering places. Moreover, the st. Law
renee would be open to navigation through
out the year. Mr.. GooDRIDGE also thinks,
though not with much positiyeness, that
the DETECTION of the Arctic current might
turn the gulf stream further southwark,
and thus cut off enough heat from the
British Isles to give them the climate of
Labrador, and then, giving the reins to his
fancy, see the queen abandoning her icy
kingdom and taking refuge as empress in
India. Now if all this can be accomplished,
and will only cost S40.OOO.OO0, the best
thing Germany and Russia and the other
jealous powers can do is to make up pony
purse and put GooDRIDGE's scheme into
operation.

An Ingenius Fraud.

Let our Northwestern farmers be on their
guard and look out for these swndlers, as
they are almost certain to put in an appear
ance when the spring opens. The Chicago
Tribune short time since contained an
article on recent discovery in butter MAX
ing, setting forth how the yield of butter
could be increased 100 or more per cent,
etc., from given quantity of milk. and
the inventors of this wonderful discovery
or some other great genius are evidently
getting in their work on the farmers OF
Illinois.
A travelling agent of butter firm, says
the Illinois Farm and Fruit Grower, is go
ing through the country selling rights to
make butter by the aid of a recipe. lie
sold one to a gentleman in Williamson
county. and although the gentleman saw
the agent make the butter, he failed to do
it after repeated trials. The plan is to take
a few pounds of good butter, say four
pounds. add it to two gallons OF milk which
has been setting for sonring certain time,
and then churn together. He claimed that
the amount of butter would be doubled,
and he did produce that effect in the pres
ence of several persons. This was done by
simply adding something to the milk to
make it curdle. and then by gentle churn-
Ing he mixes the mass of butter with the
curds of the milk. leaving but a small
quantity of serum in the churn. 1t is an
ingenious continuance. and is we'll calcu-
lated to deceive the unwary, as it looks and
tastes like butter. A lady friend who was
present, after the agent lett went to work
on the butter and reduced it to its original
bulk, barring few ounces.
Now. of all butter frauds. this is one of
the shrewdest and most easily imposed on
dairymen, and yet it is perfectly worthle IS
to those who buy the right. 1t is well cal
culated to deceive both dairymen and con-
sumner. The butter made by this process is
really mixture of butter and cheese. IL
very quickly becomes decomposed if left
standing.

City. New, was manager of the B Ink of San

his fame, and was accommodating wealth
hand-oyer-hand by advancing money on
loans on mining stocks. Ralston
needed sharp, shrewd man at the mines
to send him confidential information. He

This was the first step towards Sharon col

remarkable and unique in the history of hti-

End of a Bitter War.
Snacia1 tn the GlOha

CHATTANOOGA, Nov. 13.-The bitter
rate war which has been waged between
the East Tennessee, Virginia 6 Georgia
and Western & Atlantic railroads for more
than two months past is practically at an
end. A few days since General Passenger
Agents Wren of the East Tennessee, Brown
of the Western & Atlantic and Whitehead
of the Chattanooga & Georgia, which had
recently become involved in the fight, SUBJ
mitted the question of restoration of rates
to T. A. Emerson, president Of the South
ern Passenger Agents association. He de-
cided to-day that the rates shall be restored
Saturday morning. The warning lines
have agreed to leave an adjustment Of their
differences to arbitration by the committee
of Southern general passenger agents which
meets in Atlanta on Dec. 2. The war was
caused by the East Tennessee claiming
different rate to the Atlantic on account of
unequal terminal facilities. The Western
& Atlantic people did not think the former
line was entitled to differential rate and
precipitated fight. 1t has been the Bit
terest war of rates ever fought in the South
and caused tremendous loss to both lines.
For two months past all Southeastern rates
have been entirely demoraliZed.
