There may have been military pageants that
received an added splendor in the imagination
because Of the glory of the achievements rep
resented by the ragged, battle-stained men
in line. There may have been inaugural
displays that appealed more strongly to the
popular fancy in the enthusiasm and
excitement of political victory. But when
all the suggestion of Inauguration and
association is strip ped from these it may safely
be said that there never was a parade like the
one of today, composed of 10000 men, all well
uniformed and well drilled. 1t is doubtful,
too, whether 10000 better-looking men
could be gotten together in one line.
The parade today was formed in the
streets about the Capitol. The arrangements
made by the chief marshal, Myron NJ. Parker,
were excellent. Chief Marshal Parker prof

PALACE WALK EXTENSION.

A communication in another col
umn, suggests that Palace Walk
should be continued through to con-
meet with Young street; and we en-
tirely agree with the views of the
writer in this matter.
The line of Hotel street should
have been carried through, in the
direction pointed out, years ago;
and it has become a necessity that
this line of street, of which Palace
Walk is the only substitute now,
should be continuous as far as
Thomas Square. It is somewhat
surprising that the suggestion of
our correspondent was not made and
acted upon long ago; but we pre-
sumo that easy going residents did
not get their equanimity disturbed
until the tram rails brought the
matter more forclbly to their
minds. However that may be, let
US have that thoroughfare extended
through to Thomas Square, among
one of the first improvements of
street construction or reconstruction.
1t is just as we'll to have it done at
once, because until it is done, not a
day will pass without unfavorable
comments being made at the incon-
venience suffered, and which has
been intensified by Beretania and
King streets being made less avail
able for private teams than was the
case under former conditions when
tramways were not in e6se.

The Latest Wonderful Development in

The Latest Wonderful Development in
the Use of Electricity.
For some months paragraphs have
appeared now and then In the news
papers concerning a new railway
system by which mails and light
freight may be transported with
speed much greater than any yet
attained by steam-cars, and 1t was
announced the other day that ar
engagements were being made TO
put the system into operation, Inc
inventor is Mr.. David q. Weems,
of Baltimore, and the motive power
is electricity. About $50 patents
have been given out in the United
States and in the other principal
countries of the world, covering
the vital points of the system, and
among them is one for principle
intended to make it impossible for
trains to jump the track, however
great the speed may be. =,
The road, as a rule, will be built
on the surface of the ground, and
will have guage of twenty-four
inches, but in the populous dis
tricts it will be elevated if thought
desirable. The cost of constructor
will be about $500 a mile. All
trains will be operated from gen
Grating stations, about 100 miles
apart, and there are means by
which operators are posted con
corning the exact position Of each
train from the time it leaves one
station until it reached another. A
feature of the system is that no
attendants are needed upon the
trains.
For the last year repeated expert
ments of the system have been
made at Laurel, Md. The expert
mental road is circuit of two miles
with Twenty-Five changes of grade
some of which are very heavy. From
the tests made it is thought that
the trains can be run on a leve
track at the rate of three miles
minute, or $50 miles an hour.
IF the Weems system can be put
into successful operation it vii
bring about arevolution in RAILROAD
matters. People who have witnessed
the trials at Laurel are confident
that it will be success.

BUHACH.

The name Buhach is given to a fine
powder made from the blossoms of
the plant Py1ethrum Cinerartoe F0I5una.
This plant is native of Persia, where
it's perculiar properties were first dis
covered. The insect powder made
from it, has been sold regularly since
then in the markets of southeastern
Europe; and large quantities of the
flowers and powder are imported
from Austria to the United States
a single house in New York city
having imported an average of $50
tons per annum for the last ten
years.
The plant was first grown in Cal
ifornia by g. N. Milco, and has been
successfully cultivated by him dur
ing the past twelve years. Mr..
Milco in the year 1880 associated
himself with others under the title
of the "Buhaeh Producing & Manu-
featuring Co.," under whose auspices
a large tract of land at Atwater,
MERGED County, Cal, is devoted to
the cultivation of the plant under
notice. The climate and soil of the
San Joaquin valley is found admir-
ably adapted for the successful
growth of the plant, and the flowers
are taken by railroad from the plan
tation to Stockton where the mill is
located in which the Buhach is man
ufactured. At present the company
has about 800 acres cultivated in
this plant, and the area is being in
creased as the demand for the pow
der becomes greater.
Like many other manufactures of
value, this powder is liable to adult
Grafton by admixtures- of blossoms
from other plants which have no in
secticide qualities; but the genuine
bearing the name of the
manufacturers, cannot be mistaken

NEW WAY TO MAKE SUGAR.
A Scheme Which May RevOlutiOnize tn
Business all Over the World.

A Scheme Which May Revolutionize the
Business all Over the World.
The first Ignite sugar refinery in
this country is about to be put into
operation, and if it carries out the
expectations of it's projectors it may
revolutionize the sugar industries of
the world. The Keystone Sugar
Refining Company of this city has
established a plant at Riverside, on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad, just this side of
Wilmington, and in a few days the
machinery will be put in motion.
The scheme is to utilize the waste
from the molasses-houses, known as
''black strap" and turn out an excel
lent grade of sugar.
The process is the invention of a
man named Kleeman, a German,
who has superintendent the erection
of the machinery at the Riverside
refinery. He has one or two large
refneries in Germany, which at pre-
sent are the only ones in the world.
The "black-strap" is thrown into a
reservoir and thinned with water,
and then large quantities of pulver-
lied Ignite are thrown in and mixed
with the refuse molasses. The pro-
cess of purifying then takes place,
and after passing through sort of
press the Ignite and sugar are sep
arated, the Ignite being turned out
in blocks, which can be used as fuel.
By this means there is absolutely no
waste.
The Ignite is sort of coal, and
the company at present is receiving
supply from Germany, although It
is found in large quantities in this
country. In Vermont and Alabama
there are great fields of it, and de-
posits of it are found in some parts
of New Jersey, but there it is of an
inferior quality.
The "black strap" is to be secured
from molasses houses in this city.
It has always been a problem puz-
zling the refners to find some way
OF using this waste, but it never was
solved until Mr.. Kleeman invented
his process. The "black strap
formerly was shipped to Europe,
where it was used for coloring cor
dials, making rum and for other pur-
poses, but the product has always
been in excess of the demand
