 The making of beet sugar at Watsonville, California, by new process under the super vision of Claus Spreekels, promises great things for that industry. The factory is run ming night and day and the employees are fast becoming familiar with the work. The Cal ifornia beets prove very satisfactory in sae- eharine qualities and many farmers are re- ceiving $8 per ton for them, whereas they were guaranteed only $4 per ton. This re- suit will lead the farmers to plant beets more | extensively and Spreckels expects to establish \ several other reineries in different parts of the State.

Whistles Of All Sorts.

The primary idea of a whistle lies n
the making of column of air to vibrate,
II whatever condition. As there is mo
lack of means or methods for doing this.
the Infinite diversity Of the forms of the
apparatus for producing the vibrations
and the resultant sounds Is a matter of
course. The most general form Is the
human whistle, which one can make
sound-after a fashion-without much
preliminary training; but many musicians
nave made themselves masters Of its in.
donations to'such a degree that, instead
OF the usual inharmonious and unmatbod.
1cal discords, they can render with &c the
most difficult passages of elaborate mn.
s1cal notes. l shall not dwell upon the
means that may be employed to make the
sounds sharper and to modulate tbei,
tones: Every one knows what effects ara
produced by inserting the fore and second
myers so as to turn the tongue slightly

or by sending the blast over the outstds

Caprices Of Coin Collectors.

good specimen) to the beautiful Egina

siast whether they are beautiful or not.

An Ancient Buried Forest.

high and hard sandbank near st. Mafo.
almost fonr meters thick, laying bare a
portion OF an ancient forest, which was
already passing into tho condition of coal.
The London Times says: "This forest at
the beginning Of our era covered an ex.
tensive tract Of the coast, but with the
sinking Of the land it became submerged
and covered up by the drifting sand. Mont
Saint Michel once stood in the middle of
It. The forest had quite disappeared by
the middle of the Tenth century. Oc.

A Certain Proof Of Death.

Those timid beings who are haunted
by apprehensions of being buried alive,
and who make testamentary provisions
against such a contingency, may now
take courage, for science has supplied an
infallible means Of determining whether
or not the vital spark has quilted the
mortal frame. Electricity enables us to
distinguish with absolute certainty be-
tween life and death; for two or three
hours after the stoppage of the heart, the
whole Of the muscles Of the body have
completely lost their electric excitability.
When stimulated by electricity they no
longer contract. If, then, when Farad-
ism is applied to the muscles Of the
limbs and trunk, say five or six hours
after supposed death, there can be no
contractile response, 1t may be certified
with certainty that death has occurred,
for no faint, nor trance, nor coma, how
ever deep, can prevent the manifestation
of electric muscular contractility. Here
there is no possibility Of mistake, as there
certainly was when the old tests were
employed.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Canal System of India.

Imagine Illinois and Indiana ramified
in all directions by canals, the principal
ones aggregating thousands of miles in
length, and varying in width from forty
to 300 feet. Branching off from these,
other thousands of miles, with a volume
Of water equal to that of the Erie canal;
from these again yet other branches, and
still others, smaller and more numerous,
until there would not be an acre OF
ground without its ditch. Imagine every
mile of the larger mains, and almost
every mile Of the smaller ones, converted
into splendid water avenues by tropic
trees, and you gain some idea of the
present canal system of India.-Thomas

Decadence of Poetry.

The question is, whether the spirit Of
the age is susceptible Of poetic representa-
ton or Interpretation. If it be so, the
fault evidently lies at the door of the
poets; they are not up to their work. If,
on the other hand, life as we know it
cannot be made into poetry, then the
sooner we recognize the fact, and cease
to string unavailing rhymes together, the
better for all concerned.-Julian Haw-
