Discouragements in Beet Sugar
Making.

The New York Tribuue's San Fran
cisco special, Feb. 10, says: Claus
Spreckles, who has just returned from
Washington, where he has been labor
ing for bounty on beet sugar, is said
to be greatly disappointed at tho out
look for his beet sugar factory in
Washington, Monterey county. The
farmers there agreed to raise enough
beets to keep the factory running
throughout the year, but the result Of
one seasons work has disguised them
with sugar-beet business. The best
beets, with the highest percentage Of
sugar, brought about 20 cents per
bushel, while the average crop through
out the Pajaro valley netted the farm
ers only about 10 or - cents q bushel
The result was that only about half the
number of farmers who grew bects last
year have made contracts for the COM
ing season. One of the largest land
holders near the factory refused to
allow his tenants to grow sugar beets,
! as he declares this will enhance the
price OF land and he will have to pay
Eore taxes. Spreckles would buy
land and grow his own beta, but good
land about Watsonville commands from
$500 TO $500 an acre. He declares that
unless more interest is shown by tho
farmers he will soon close the factory
and transfer the machinery elsewhere.
He will build no more factories unless
there is enough land TO be had near by
to grow his own beets. 1t is his pur-
pose to build the next factory in north
ern California, in Shasta or Tehama
county, where good land can be bought
for $50 an acre.

ever had that was not chosen by tho

did not amount to ANYTHING politically

AS a substitute for granite blocks
steel paving is attracting considerable
attention, its durability being quite a
point in its favor, and its cost being
somewhat less. 1t consists OF steel
strips about two and half inches vide
and one inch thick, rolled with a chan
mel on one side exposed to traffic, and
with notches about six inches apart.
These strips weigh eleven pounds to the
yard, are laid across the street a dis.
lance Of about five inches between
centers, and their length is only suffici.
ent to extend to the middle of the street,
so that the proper slope from the center
TO the cutters can be secured. They
are bolted together SO as to secure them
against lateral slipping, and are fasteu-
ed to wooden stills. A firmly construct
ed bed of gravel composes the support
for this pavement while between the
steel strips mixture of pitch and CO.
ment is poured, filling the interstices
10 a level with the tops OF the strips,
and rendering the surface comparative,

Mice and Their Tails.

The following story illustrates how
much mice love their tails: In Norwich,
Conn.,, the other night, young lady
set a mouse-trap in her parlor-a trap
that was like diminutive railroad
round-house, with arched doorways,
and with a delicate little loop OF steel
under each doorsill to fly up and catch
mouse by the muzzle. Tho steel
moses snapped busily all night, and
the next morning the lady found five
mice clinging in FIVE Of the unhospita-
BILE doorways, and what was very mys.
terious to her, three long mouse tails
hanging from the three other entrances.
She puzzled her head long over the in
scrutable problem. Why did three
mice visit her trap over night and de-
liberately leave their tails behind themp
But there was no answer to 1t. A very
bright idea, however, flashed into her
mind, and she set her trap again. Yer.
lily, the three tailless mice came back
to recover their tails, and in the gray
dawn OF the following day the young
lady found three tailless mice dangling
from the trap.

MANY entomologists are of the opin-
ion that the antenn9 OF insects are or
gans OF hearing, though it is probable
that the auditory apparatus in many in
sects is not confined to the antenna.
Thus grasshoppers and crickets appear
to have ears in their legs, and the crus-
tacean genus Mysis is provided with
auditory organs in it's tail. Equally
curious arrangements have been OBJ
served in other insects.

And lies at rest
No breathing stirs
The white .robed breast;
The groans and sobbing
Are hushed at last,

Coniure no phantom
OF what is lost;
Come away softly
And make no moan,
Leaving thy persisted hope
Dead and alone.
