Chemical SUGAR.

1t is generally known that chemists
can produce in their laboratory from
rags a substance very similar to sugar
and having the same sweetening pro
perty. The Germans are, however,
hard at work trying to produce artificial
sugar on large scale, and although its
production for practical purposes has
not vet been realized considerable ad-
vance has been made and a step has
been taken towards successful results.
Her Emil Fisher has succeeded in OBJ
tanning Il true sugar, which is capable
of undergoing alcoholic fermentation by
means of yeast, just like ordinary sugar.
There is only one thing wanting in
this new chemical sugar which causes 1t
to differ from natural sugar, and thai is
that it is OFFICIALLY inactive; it will not
rotate beam of polarized light either
to the right or left. They call this new
sugar lacrosse Glycerine, that sheet
anchor of so many recent Investigations,
is the starting point in the preparation
of acrose, which must not be confounded
with '.saccharine", which is not a sugar
and can never take its place as an ar
ticle of diet The diScovererS Of acrose
are sanguine of making perfect sugar
at no distant day, and their work Is
watched with interest by the scientific

a good many people are bitten by dogs,

There are people with the bad nabit OF
meddling with what does not concern them,

times does dog molest a person who minds
his own business, no matter how Grabbed
the dog may be.
If, however, you are bound to approach
and touch dog, do it properly. There IS
only one way. 1t is this: Put out your
hand easily and confidently to the dog, so
that he may smell it. Put it to his nose. II

DROWNED IN SKINNED MILK.
The Curious Fate That Met a 15-Month-
Old Toddler.

The people who live in the country
roundabout Septimus Turner's farm
house. two miles from Bristol, Pa, can
not believe that Farmer Turner's grand
child. George Dwyer. was drowned in q
wash boiler full of milk. 1t is a fact,
though, that Farmer Turner's 15-month-
old grandchild was found drowned, and
that he was drowned in boiler full OF
Farmer Turner's milk.
Little George was the pride of Tur-
ner'S farm, he being the kind old farm
er's youngest grandchild. The young
ster, only fifteen months old, was
stronger than most infants at that
age and could romp among the daisy
patches as well as Farmer Turner's
daughter could. In fact, he had been
walking since he was ten months old.
Mrs. Turner took the child with her on
her regular morning trip to the dairy
Monday. and while she attended to some
churning and other work little George
toddled around the spring house. A
big wash boiler OF skinned milk was
drawn off in a churn and placed on the
floor, around which the child in boyish
glee skipped and jumped.
After awhile Mrs. Turner was called
to the barn and went there, leaving the
boy to play with the boiler filled with
milk. When he was alone George
quieted and every few seconds would
reach over the side, dip his fingers in
the milk. and taste it. Then he wanted
to see what it was that tasted so good,
and to do so jumped up and down by
the can, looking over the rim every
time he got his head high enough.
Then the youngstcr put one foot over
the edge and dipped his head in the
milk to get Il drink This was d fatal
move, for the child lost his balance aud
fell hcadlong into the white fluid. with
his feet sticking out over the edge OF
the can.
One of Mr.. Turner's little daughters
came into the dairy, and seeing Georges
feet up ran and tried to pull her little
nephew OUT, but failed. Then she
called her mother, who lifted the child
out. lie was dead

HE MUST BE MAD.
A MIDDLE-AGED MAN MAKES LOVE
TO A LITTLE GIRL.
She Refuses to Speak to Him and he
Kills Her in the Presence Of Her
Bfothers-He Gives Himself Up, and
Says He is Insane.

MEDINA. n. u, June 25.-Last night
about s o'clock at the little village cf
Oak Orchard. six miles North Of Medina.
Eugene Emery. I farm laborer, 40 years
of age. murdered Cora Grimes, the IS
year-old daughter of John Grimes, q
well-to-do-farmcr Emery had fallen
in love with Cora, and had of late con-
tinued to force his attentions upon her,
much against her wishes and those Of
her parents Last evening, when the
girls parents were away and the only
occupants of Grimes's residence. were
Cora and two small brothers. Emery
entered and made a last appeal to her
for her love. She would not speak to
him and he left the horse and returned
shortly armed with q heavy club and
attacked the iefenselesS child. She cried
out for help, but the man cid not cease
his blows until his victim lay dead at his
feet. The little brothers looked on in
horror After the murderer had. left
the house they ran for the neighborS,
who Immediately summoned the parents.
The police at Medina were notified,
and arrived as soon as possible with
Coroner MunSon Of Medina. When the
neighbors arrived at the scene of the
crime, the poor girls body lay on. the
floor bathed in blood. The surrounding
country was secured for the murderer
all last night, but nothing of him could
be found. This morning, about o'clock,
however, he gave himself up to the po-
lice at Gaines, from .Whence3 he. was
Immediately taken to Albion, and placed
under the custody Of Sheriff Searles.a y
Emery is very communicative and is
willing to tell all he knows. He is of
medium height, slight build, and dark
complexion. He says he saw the men
hunting for him with lanterns, but me
eyaded them Had he been found, 2be
would undoubtedly have been lynched.
Speaking of the murdered girl he said:
''She was the sweetest girl i ever
knew, but she was ugly TO me-; aad7la5-
is why l killed her." After the lrst
blow, he says, she put her hand to her
head and said: son, don't" He said
he struck her twice more and taen
started North and East, through the
woods and fields, till he came 10 the
railroad, which he followed to~Clark's
Mills bridge, when he took the road to
Gaines village.
The neighbors have expressed grave
doubts as TO his sanity for some time
past. He says that on Saturday last he
came to Albion for the: purpose of
having the Sheriff take him to the But
falo Insane Asylum, but was afraid that
the Sheriff would laugh at him, and
thought the physicians would do the
same if he said anything about it.
IN his cell at the County jail Emery
appears much depressed. -Nhan4 aslsa4aa-
why he gave himself up-h he replied that
it was better than lying in the woods or
swamps for ,Eo or three weeks. He
said he had hot been feeling well for
three or four weeks and had been
troubled with pains in his head and
heart He says that he has lived in Or
leans County all his life and has
mother and seven brothers.

a Disappearing Pond.

Haw Pond is seventeen miles East OF
Cordele. Ga. and is perhaps one of the
most wonderful! natural curlositicS in
the State. It annually sinks with roar
about this time in May, and in Il few
minutes every drop Of water disappears.
One day last week about dozen Corde.
lians left for the pond. They carried
fishing tackle in abundance, and spent a
day and night catching any number Of
the finest specimens OF the tinny tribe.
They met about fifty others who had
gathered at the pond to fish and wait
for the water to disappear. Where the
fishermen dropped their lines to the
depth of ten feet Thursday night there
was scarccl a drop Of Saturday
morning. In Il day the water I'D dis.
appeared completely. For miles arHsQd q
tie ground is said to be unstable, ant:
liable ut any moment to sink. Only a
few weeks ago the bottom dropped out
in one place, aud how only the tops Of
the trees can be seen above the ground.
Every year large crowds from the sur
rounding country gather to witness the
disappearance.

A TRAVELLING MOUNTAIN.
One that Might have Saved Mohammcd
tho Trouble of n Journey.

One that Might have Saved Mohammcd
the Trouble of Il Journey.
Such mountain is found at the Cascades
OF the Columbia. Ore. 1t is huge triple
peaked mass of dark brown .basalt, six or
eight miles in length, where it fronts the
river and rises to height Of almost 1900
feet above the water.
That it is in motion is the last thought
which would be likely to suggest it
self to the mind of any one pass
ing it; yet it is well established
fact that this entire mountain is moving
slowly but steadily toward the river, as II
it had a deliberate purpose some time in TIE
future to dam the Columbia and form
great lake from the Cascades to the Dailes.
The Indian traditions indicate immense
movements Of the mountains hercabouts,
long before white men came TO Oregon; and
the early settlers, immigrants, many OF them
from New England, gave the above de-
scribed mountainous ridge the name Of
''traveling mountain" or "sliding noun
tain"
In its forward and downward movement
the forests along the base of the ridge have
become submerged in the river. Large tree
stubs can be seen standing deep in the water
on this shore The railway engineers and
the track men find that the line Of the rail.
road which skirts the foot of the mountain
is being continually forced out Of place. At
certain points the roadbed and rails have
been pushed eight or ten feet out of line In
the course o. few years.
The mountain is naanifestly moving upon
the river, and geologists attribute this
strange phenomenon to the fact that the
basalt which constitutes the bulk of the
mountain rests on a substratum Of con-
glomerate, or the soft sandstone, which the
deep, swift current of the mighty river is
wearing away; or that this softer subrock
is Of itself yielding, at great depths, TO the
enormous weight of the harder material
above it.
A ship canal and a series OF very expen.
sive locks for facilitating navigation on the
Columbia have been determined on at the
Cascades abreast Of this ridge, and large
appropriations Of money from the national
treasury have been made for the work by
Congress. It remains to be seen how

masonry Of these.-struetur chicago

DELAYS ARE DANGEROUS.
Tardy Steps to Finish Up the Soutl
found SubscriptlOn.

Tardy Steps to Finish Up the South
Bound subscription.
The New York Star gives flaming head
lines to a review of the South Bound project,
from which it would be inferred that the
merchants can hardly sleep of nights be-
cause they are so anxious to raise the sub
scription; aid yet the facts are that the
merchants on the Bay are so busy handling
the big crop of cotton that nothing has been
done in the way of soliciting subscriptions
since the board of trade and the cotton ex-
change appointed committees, some weeks
ago, TO aid the projectors OF the South
Bound IN raising the remaining S2o,OOO
asked for by northern capitalists.
In an interview with a MORNING NEWS
reporter a short time back Gen. Alexander,
president Of the Central, said if the South
Bound is not built he will build branch
from Barnwell to connect with the Augusta
and Port Royal road. but that does not
seem to ha ge stirred up the South Bound
people at this end of the line. Col. Mike
Brown of Barnwell, S. c., has been writing
earnest letters urging early action, and IL
IS possible that some life will be infused
into the enterprise here when the fall trade
begins to slacken. The merchants here
want the road, undexstand its Importance,
and intend to secureft they say, but they
add, 1--WE are too busy just now to give it
attention. A numoer of the friends of the
road say that the busy season is when
the greatest effort should be made to raise
the subscription, and that there never was
better time than right now.
