Investigating Sorghum Sugar.

Secretary of Agriculture Rusk has re-
turned to Washington after an inspection
of the mills for the manufacture of sugar
from sorghum cane by the new diffusion
process. When asked if the new process
had proved a success, Secretary Rusk
said 81 cannot soy that it has as yet.
The government chemists stationed at the
mills ore at work to find ways of i1nprov-
ing on the results mich we now get; but
unless that can be done I am very doubt
full about the profit of making sugar from
sorghum cane. Three or four of the
chemists, however, are still hopeful of
favorable results"

The Wheelmen'S Parade.

The first parade of this years Carnival
occurred Tuesday forenoon. 1t was the
wheelmen's parade, and was a novel and
attractive sight. The boys looked gor-
geous in their close fitting uniforms.
Many Of the cicycles were nicely decorated.
A novel feature of the parade, and one not
down on the bills, was about twenty wag-
ons loaded with Indians, who fell in be-
hind the wheelmen when they left Water
street, and kept along with them until
they turned at the Gordon. The wagons
containing the Indians were we'll loaded
many quite young redskins who seemed TO
enjoy the novel exhibition as much as the

thousands of spectators on sidewalks
did not fail to applaud the Indians and en-
joy their peculiar antics and their queer

The Industrial Parade,

On Wednesday occurred the second and
most important parade of the first week of
the corn palace festival, and a very attract
i've exhibition it was. In this demonstra-
ton the railroads took a conspicuous part,
as is fitting; for they represent many in
terests not comprehended in excursions to
the corn palace only. but scattered all
along their various lines in all directions,
and the corn palace festival affords them
fine opportunities for showing what their
tributary country produces. The parade
was led by a gigantic float drawn by four
horses and representing the productive
abilities Of the Illinois Central's territory,
followed by employees of the line with
banners and horses with wreaths and rib
bons for each of tho many states penetrat-
ed by the road. The Milwaukee road was
also represented, while the famous ssover-
land flyer" of the Union Pacific attracted
great attention. Following the roads were
many handsome floats by the leading in
dustries and business interests of Sioux
City, the whole forming a most creditable
exhibition of the thrift, energy and enter
prise which has made the corn palace pos
sible. The streets along the line Of march
were crowded by the thousands brought
into the city on special trains over all
lines.

that in case of q fall the wheelmen should
start from the lead of the contestants, md
that no wheelman could re-enter from a

goes to make strong bones and teeth.

frame up.

sorous waterproonrg Cloth.

A porous waterproof cloth is the
best for outer garments during wet
weather for those whose duties and
labor causes them to perspirc freely.
The best way for preparing such
cloth Is by the process adopted for the
TUNES Of the French soldiers during
the Crimea war. Ii is rs follows:
Take y pounds of alum and dissolve
in ten gallons of boiling water; then,
in a separate vessel, dissolve the same
quantity Of sugar of lead ia ten gal
Ions OF water, and mix the two solu.
tons. The cloth is now well handled
IN this liquid, until every part of it is
penetrated then il is squeezed or dried
ia the AR OF III a warm apartment;
then washed in cold water and dried
again, when it is fit for use. If nee.
essay the cloth may be dipped in the
liquid and dried twice before being
washed. The liquor appears curdled
when the alum and lead solutions are
mixed together. This is the result OF
double decomposition, the sulphate of
lead, which is an insoluble salt, being
formed. The sulphate of lead is taken
up in the pores Of the cloth, and it is
unaffected by rains OF moisture, and
yet it does not render the cloth air

could be had for less in quantities,

which the guncotton is exploded. The
