alton, and predicted that climatic fevers

To ohviate Trnller Poles.

II the invention Of DIR. Bates. of this
city. stands the test of experiment the
entire electric railway system of over
head wires and poles will soon be super
seeded by simple conduit bolted to the
center of the track. Some such inven-
ton is greatly needed. The overhead
maze of wires is a constant source Of de-
lay and danger. The place for all cleo
trio wires. whether for railways. tele-
graphs or telephones. is underground,
or properly insulated and protected in
conduits, as proposed by DR.. Bates
The main difficulty to be apprehended
with the new invention is with snow and
ice in winter The slot which admits
the trolley arm from the ear into the
conduit is protected from rain and dust
by u steel strip which acts with spring.
Ii this strip and spring can protect the
slot alike from rain and dust in summer,
and from snew aril ice in winter. the in
yention may prove to be one of the most
important III years President Lowry
deems the invention 70 possess consider
able merit, and will undoubtedly give it
thorough trial. Tribune.

1t is claimed that new process has
recently been made in the manufacture
of sorghum sugar by which gum sub
stances may be eliminated from the sac.
charine matter. and which will make
the cane yield from fifty to seventy
pounds more sugar TO the ton than il
has been doing Professor Wiley. who
has been experimenting III this. says that
sorghum sugar will bring about three
cents pound and possibly four cents.
This will give the farmer more for his
product than anything else he can pro-
duce. and still leave good profit to the
