A Negro Prisoners Desperate Resistance
Hugh Griffin. colored, a notorious thief who
has served two or three terms north. was ar.
rested last night for disturbing the peace. While
in tho patro-wagon. on the way to the
station-house, in charge of Patroiman
James Brady, he tried to push the chain
off his knees and put his hand in his
pocket Brady ordered him to stop. fearing
he had knife concealed. The negro again
attempted to put his hand in his pocket, when
Brady tapped him lightly with his club, where.
upon the prisoner quickly drew a knife from
his pocket, and seizing Brady's mace with one
hand. made several desperate slashes at his
neck and face with the knife cutting
him severely in four places. Brady seized him
by the throat and Charles Travis, driver of the
patrol wagon struck him on the head with q
mace, causing him to drop the knife Brady's
wounds, which were not dangerous. were sewed
up by DR.. Hodges, and the negro was slated for
assault with intent to kill. Had one Of the
wounds been little deeper it would have cut an
artery and Brady would have bled to death In
three minutes. The wound in his cheek was Eve
inches long.

Beet Sugar.

L. R. Bowker. in Harpers' Magazine.
The beet-sugar industry has scarcely made a
start yet in this country, though in Europeit has
attained such proportions rs to furnish half the
marketed sugar of the world. and about third
OF the total production. The production OF beet
sugar is a commercial triumph oe the man of
''mere science" A Berlin apothecary, Marg
graf, first drew attention to the beet root as a
possible sugar mine. and Prussan chemist,
Archard first successfully extracted the sugar.
It was not, however, until the Napoleonc
wars and the blockade OF continental
ports raised the prices of sugar that
the industry started. Napoleon, in 1911. Of
fered bounties for the production of beet sugar.
and made the chemistry of the process a special
ty in scientific schools Germany followed the
example, and even now the industry is fostered
by the government through experimental sta
tons and by means OF bounties on sugar protec-
ton The German law of 1869 laid tax on
heets of 81 ZIG marks) per ton, to compensate
for the loss of revenue from imported sugars,
and gave drawback OF $42 TO $47 per ton OF
sugar exported. AS by the improved processes
the yield Of beet root Is over 81 per cent OF
merchantable sugar, besides more than per
cent. of molasses this law guaranteed a profit
to manufacturers for export and the production
has been very great
The beet commonly used in Europe is the
White Silesian, weighing from one and half to
two and a half pounds, and producing fifteen to
twenty tons to the acre. 1t succeeds best where
there is dry. unclonded autumn weather. The
juice is extracted by rasping the beet into shreds.
and pressing out the juice, or by the diffusion
process. AS the beet contains much less sugar
in proportion than cane, its transportation is a
serious matter. and in France and Belgium un-
foreground pipes are in use. through which the
juice is sent to central factory.
The process Of extracting the sugar from
the juice is essentially the same as
in the treatment of cane. except that the pro-
cess of carbonation. which is coming into use
also with sorghum. Is very generally used. The
method proposed by the Department of Agri-
culture. and practiced for one season at Ottawa,
Kan. with success is modification of the pro-
cess used for beet juices, and consists in adding
a large excess Of lime to the teDd juice, and
afterward preciptating the excess by carbonic
acid. After passing through filter press. the
clear juice is saturated with suphurous
acid. and again filtered. This process gives a
juice perfectly limpid and of great purity. The
production of beet sugar, where bounties are not
paid will probably he limited by the fact that
with improving scientific processes, the larger
proportion OF sugar in cane and sorghum will
give them an increasing advantage to the plant
er and consumer. The census Of 1880 reported
four beetroot factories. with 1866. 900 capital
employing $50 hands, to whom it paid $62 271
wages. or $l77 each, and producing $685. 572
