MONEY IN SUGAR-BEETs.


"We have not decided as yet to
erect sugar-beet factory anywhere
in Berks county," said Claus A.
Spreckels, the son of the great sugar
king, yesterday. Il merely took a
trip to Berks county to study the
geography of the place and take a
look at the land to see if it is suit
able for beet cultivation. In order
to determine whether sugar-beets
can be raised their proftably the soil
must be tested by raising crop.
Then we would make an analysis to
determine the result. My father is
coming to the city in few weeks,
and then we may probably decide to
SOW some beet seed in Berks county.
The best sugar-beet can be raised
only in sandy loan. OF course, they
will grow in almost any other kind
Of soil, but they will not contain the
saccharine matter from which good
sugar can be made.
If the Berks county soil is fit for
the production of good sugar-beets
there will be money in the industry.
We pay from 81 to SIS per ton for the
vegetable. The farmer can easily
raise it at a cost of from 81 to 81 SO
ton, leaving margin of from So so
to 81 ton clear profit. On an aver
age first class farmer can get thirty
tons of beets from an acre of land, or
a profit of 500 an acre. But the
land that he uses in the cultivation
of sugar-beet in one year cannot be
safely depended upon to yield good
crop the succeeding year. The
ground can only be used successfully
every alternate year for the raising
of the sugar-beet If we decide upon
erecting sugar-beet factory in Berks
county it will be a good one, and will
cost between 100000 and 100000.

A New sDecies of Eucalyptus.

There has lately been introduced into
Pasadena, Southern California, Grim
son Towering eucalyptus, which is attract
ing much attention, on account of the
gaudiness of its flowers The botanical
name of this species is Eucalyptus Fici-
folia, and if not already introduced, we
would recommend our nurserymen to
secure either the plants or seeds.
Baron Won Mueller, Government bo-
tanist for the colony Of Victoria, Aus
tralia, IN his book, ''Eucalyptographia,"
says: "This eucalyptus is one of the
most splendid of recent acquisitions to
horticulture, and was introduced into
the botanic garden of Melbourne in 1860,
where it lowered few years afterward,
while yet only in a bushy state. Hardly
anything more gorgeous can be imagined
than the forest OF Eucalyptus Ficifolia
about the end of January or commence
ment of February (Which in our country
would be, of course, July and August),
when the brilliant trusses of flowers
diffuse a rich red over the dark green
foliage of the whole landscape occupied
by the tree. This outrageous tree sell
dom exceeds height of fifty feet. The
specific name of this gorgeous tree was
chosen before the brilliancy of its flowers
was known, and alludes to the similarity
of the leaves to those of Ficu Elastico,
the well-known rubber tree of India.
The seeds of this eucalyptus can be easily
distinguished from all others, as they
terminate by long membranous APP
pendange, of a pale-brown color.-[Pasa-

OUR INTERESTS IN THE PACIFIC.

The full programme of the con
ference to which the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce processes to
invite the Senators and Represen-
tatives and the commercial organiza-
tions of the Pacific States suggests
that the meeting is likely to have
some important and far-reaching in
fuences. The subjects of the con-
ference are announced to be as fol-
lows:
Permanent establishment of ocean
mail steamship lines on Pacific Ocean
routes, the steamships to be avail
able for war and transport purposes,
and the lines to be literally compen:
stated by the government for trans
portation of mails; the application
of the Interstate Commerce law to
the American carrying trade of the
Canadian Pacific Railroad; the abol-
ition of the bonding system of rail
way carriage through foreign terri
tory; the maritime defense of Pacific
Coast ports; the laying of cable to
Australia via the Pacific Islands; the
energetic construction of the Near
aqua Canal as a means of national
defense and commercial develop
ment, and the encouragement of
maritime commerce and increased
energy in the construction of the
navy.
1t will be seen that the conference
touches almost the entire field of
American commercial and political
interests in the Pacific Ocean. That
the merchants of San Francisco
have resolved to take hold of these
matters in their enegetic manner
and press them upon Congress GER
tainly speaks we'll for their foresight
and patriotism. The Pacific, with
the archipelagoes which it contains
and continents which form its Dor
ders, is the worlds commercial bat
tle-ground. A large part of the vast
area is remote from the civilizing in
fuences which dominate the popu-
lations dwelling on the shores of the
Atlantic. Might makes right in
Pacific trade and Pacific politics in
manner which we Americans of
the eastern seaboard have only be-
gun to come to understand. Bos-

An Interesting Island.

About 40 deg. southwest of Peru
is a small volcanic island of about
thirty miles in circumference. On
this island, which forms the south
eastern point of the Polynesian
Archipelago, there lives about 1,500
natives, whose language and Gus
toms are almost identical with those
of the natives of Tahiti-an island
nearly 40 deg. still further to the
west. On this detached spot are
found the ruins of gigantic statues,
erected on long platforms of Cyclic
pean masonry which rival those
found in Mexico and Peru. The
present inhabitants of the island,
however, know nothing of the origin
of these sculptures nor of the race
that made them.5American PAPER.
