ELECTRIcAI. NoTEs.

A late report shows eighty-five electric
railways completed or in course of con-
struction in the United States.
The opacity of steam issuing from
nozzle is greatly increased by bringing
electrified points near it, and its color is
changed to orange brown.
An official return shows that in the
year 1888 the time occupied in passing
through the Suez canal by vessels not
using the electric light was 81 hours 81
minutes on the average, whereas the
average time occupied by vessels using
the electric light, and thus being able TO
navigate the canal by night, was "a hours

Electricity is being adopted to very
large extent in Sweden and Norway. In
Christiania the question of an electrical
tramway is being discussed. A COM

roads of various countries has reported
that electric tramways are both the
safest and the cheapest. and the result is
that extensive schemes for electrical
tramway installations are being devel-
oped

he Wasn't Posted.

Stopping at the Auditorium Hotel is a
young man who can not hear any allu-
sion to Mexico without feeling of en-
barrassment. This uncomfortable cir
cumstance arises from an incident that
occurred during the travellers visit to
the sister republic.
The young man is A. r. Cushing, one
of Boston's 400 A few weeks ago he
attended fashionable ball in the City of
Mexico-his first in that country A fea-
ture of the Mexican entertainments is
the cascaron, prettily decorated egg
shell filed with perfume or bits of gilt
paper When a senorita wishes to show
preference for a dancing partner she
playfully breaks the cascaron over his
head.
Mr.. Cushing, accompanied by Mexi-
can friend, was enjoying the ball from a
quiet corner of the room, when a be-
witching senorita with raven hair and
roguish eyes danced up to him and
smashed cascaron over his Bostonian
features. The shell was filled with tiny
specks of golden paper, which fell in a
shower over his shoulders.
Surprised beyond measure, Mr.. Cush-
ing sprang to his feet and demanded OF
his friend that they instantly leave the
place.
Whats the matter?" asked the Mexi-
can.
"Some one threw an egg at me, and
know when l get enough, replied the
enraged Bostonian.
The unique custom was explained to
the visitor, who in a few minutes was
waltzing with the young lady who had
thrown the egg. Chicago Tribune.

Let Os increase our Cane
Culture.
(Louisiana Planter 1871 October

Perhaps the most important matter now
before the planting community tor its con-
siderati0n is the enlargement ct its cane
culture. Every leading staple capable OF
production in the temperate ATTITUDES seems
to have reached u permanent lower lever
Of values and yet the manufacturers are .
buster thar ever and all seem to be doing
fairly we'll.
A careful study into the matter shows
that the factory once content with an out
put of 100000 of its products. is nowS
with its same organization aud no increaS.
ed expense for organization, putting out
$1,000 900 of its produce. There is no in
creased expense except in the matter OF
common lab0ur. The reduced price of the
raw material Obviates any necessity for
Increased capital, and hence now with
double work and half the profits, the aver
age manufacturer il doing as well as he
did twenty years ago, and simply because
as his profits were reduced he enlarged his
business, and held the same total Of pro-
fits.
And so it must be with sugar, AS Major
Lagarde recently said at n meeting of the
Sugar Planters Association, a man making
less than 500 hOgsheAds Of sugar can't
afford to erect modern machinery. PIeSu-
mably be must fall or make dis crops en-

"nG We can only do it by increasing the

1t will be seen that the low prices of
1884 made 1885 the crucial year in France.
The sugar production reached its lowest
point, but the yield from the beets was in
creased some 80 per cent. over the previous
year, and las increased each year ever
since, while the number of factories has
diminished each year.
In Louisiana we have no definite date as
to the percentage of sugar gotten from the
cane, but the rapid decrease in the number
of sugar houses in operation, and the in.
crease Of the average output OF each. is
