sixteen years to discover the
secret of glazing pottery white.
Many time he had to break off from
his experiments to earn means to sup

improving his furnaces, procuring new
chemical materials and more fuel
watching his fires night and day, alone
and single handed, his body wasting

and chairs, the last furniture left in his
house, az flung them into the furnace,
thereby obtaining through their dry
and combustible condition the heat
necessary to finish melting his chemi

successful one, for he saw the glazing

crew called him crank" or its equiva-

MAKING CUR OWN SUGAR.
Well, what about making our own
sugar?
We can make it.
We can make it from sorghum now.
We shall in year be able to make it
from beets.
We can make handsome profit.
1t will require 100000.
We can get 10 per cent dividend.
We can take the surplus profits and
with them build other factories, until
we can produce all the sugar and syrup
we now buy-a million dollars year.
We can employ many hundreds OF
heads of families at home. and the
