SUGAR EXPERIMENTS.
A Successful Experiment in Making Sugar
in Kansas.

A Successful Experiment In Making Sugar
In Kansas.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The following
telegram has been received at the Depart
ment of Agriculture:
To the Commissioner Of Agriculture:
Fort SCOTT, Kan. Nov. Slave finished
boiling cghty-three tons of Louisiana cane
tonight. Made nearly 10, 900 pounds of strike.
A weighed portion was run into centrifugal
and gave 81 per cent. of dried sugar. This
will be more than l20 pounds first sugar per
ton. Cane juice had 10 per cent. of sucrose,
Is per cent. of glucose and 14& per cent. Of
total solids. It would have made only &C
pounds by the old process. We have in
creased the yield fully 40 pounds per ton.
Sugar OF fine quality. WILEY, Chemist.
This dispatch is regarded by the authori-
ties at the Agricultural Department rs the
fulfllment of the promises of important re-
suits given by the first incomplete expert
mentS in the diffusion process applied 10
sugar cane. The process was developed in
Europe for application to the manufacture
of beet sugar. and has been several times
tried in this country upon the sugar cane,
but without decided success, owing to inl-
perfect machinery and the necessity of con-
siderable notifications to meet the differ
ence in the material to be worked. In 1888
experiments in the new process were begun
OH a small scale in Washington upon
sorghum, and after a time such measure
of success was attained that the Commits
siOner determined TO put the process into
operation upon a larger scale. To this
end plant was established in connection
with a sOrghumsugar-m establish
ment at Ottawa, Kan, and this season the
new process has been carried on under the
supervision of Prof. Wiley with marked
success. Meanwhile the sugar cane grow
ers of Louisiana have become deeply inter-
ested in the process and have anxiCusIy
desired TO learn whether il could be- made
applicable to their products. TO test
the matter the commissioner has decided
to undertake the experiment in Louisi-
ana upon a scale of sufficient magnitude
TO determine its pTActicabilty, but as
a preliminary test he caused a train
load of sugar cane 10 be shipped from
Louisiana to be worked up in the Kansas
sorghum mills. 1t is The result of this ex-
pertinent which Prof. Wiley announces in
his telegram. Prof. Richardson, the assist
ant chemist at the department, says this
chemical analysis of the cane juice given
by Prof. Wiley shows that the cane was Of
rather inferior quality or in bad condition.
He believes the new process will within
few years force itself into universal use,
since an increase of fifty per cent. in the
yield OF the cane sugar crop by means
which are trile more expensive than
those in present use will be motive which
the most conservative planter will be una
bic to resist.

There's many a romance comes my way,
And many sorrow meets my gaze;
Going the same route every day,
know the people ana their ways;
And much / see, from the letters | take,
OF JOY, and trouble, and deep heart ache.
This letter. addressed in manly style,
Is for n maiden, ] can see
BY her glad bright eyes and happy smile
Whenever they come, that they must he,
From her sweetheart; and, what is more,
The days they come she's at the door.
This looks like bill; they're poor, / guess:
Bills come so often to 81.
A pale-faced woman, with real distress,
Will take this from me at the door.
And Nothing moreY she's sure to say,
In hopeless, half-expectant way.
And this one with fore igu stamp
Well. ] am glad this letters come!
It's from sailor, wild young scamp,
Who this time last year left his home.
It's mother wa is so anxiously;
It's from my son. she'll say to me.
And this one, edged with black, dread
To deliver il Mt SS.

Letters from there have stopped of late;
The girl is sad and-wcil, ! know
This is the last from Idaho.

No more to number 81.
He's brought the letter-writer home.
Yea, many a romance comes my way,

"Reader" asks show the name of the
city Of Los Angeles, CAL, is pronounced
and what is the meaning of it and of the
word los?'" There are two allowable
ways of pronouncing the name of this
city-LosA An eh-lez, and Los Ang-ha-les-
the accent in both being on the first sylla-
BILE. Los An-jeh-lez, giving the "an'' the
same sound as in the word ''fan," is the
American pronunciation; Los Ang-ha-les,
in which the first syllable has nearly the
sound of long" in the word wrong"
and the second syllable is sounded
like the word shay" only more
obscurely, is the Spanish pronunciation.
The literal meaning of the name is "the
angels" The old Spanish name of the
city was originally pueblo de los
Angeles" signifying "habitation of the
angels" name inspired by the delight
full climate and the beauty of the sur
rounding scenery. The word "los" is
simply the masculine plural form of the
Spanish article 'the, which in the singu-
lar is "el" in the masculine and ''la" in
the feminine. Thus eel muchacho" sig.
mites "the boy" ''la muchacha" 'the
GIRL" and "los caballeros de labor ''tht

Thomas p. L. Church have arranged for
an enjoyable entertainment to be held in

package party, auction and pink tea, with
an abundance of very pretty maidens to
serve it to purchasers. The admission is
free.
Stuart Rodgers gave one of his bright
entertainments in the college oratory on
Friday evening last, before an unusually
small audience. However those who
were there were much gratifed, but he is
not sufficiently known to fame in this
section to draw large audiences at ad-
vanced prices.
Prof. A. E. Solodes, the native of the
Fiji Islands and now resident of CAL
cutta and Christianized and educated
cannibal, spoke before rather small and
promiscuous audience in Caskey Hall last
evening. He is a man of very unprepos-
sessing appearance, yet nevertheless
demonstrated to an audience that he was
not what he seemed to be, beg
ging and illiterate pilgrim, but
philanthropic and remarkably well edu-
Gated man. The 400 languages at his
commando number apparently ex-
aggerated, but partly substantiated in his
entire ability to speak French, Italian,
