A Sole Leathor Ca.cuI,tion.

There are 100000 of people that walk
about the streets of London daily, and
in so doing they wear away ton of
leather PARTICLES from their boots and
shoes. This would in year form a
leather belt six inches wide and one
fourth Of an inch thick long enough to
reach from London to Now York. The
amount Of disintegrated leather at 25
cents pound (what it costs consumers)
would amonnt to 1876, 900. Reduced to
strap one inch in width it would reach
more than once around the world.
The Pail Mall Gazette repeats the
story Of a misunderstanding between
the portrait painter, Emile Wauters of
Brussels, and his Majesty the King of
the Belgians. The King requested a
portrait Of himself to be taken, without
sittings, from photographs M. Wauters
had the temerity to refuse request
which amounts 70 command when q
King asks.

The Decimal Point.

In France and Germany n reduced to
a decimal is written OPS, in England it
is written 0'25; in the United States it
is always written either OBS or simply
written .25 without the naught In the
first two countries the period is never
used, always the comma. While English
writer's use the period they never put it
at the bottom of the line as we do, but
always use it thus: OPS. This style is
said to have been introduced by Sir
Isaac Newton, who placed it at the top
of the line to distinguish it from the
punctuation mark.

BEET SUGAR BOUNTY.
Testfmony Given Before the Colorado
House In That Relation.

Testimony Given Before the Colorado
House In That Relation.
DENVER, Feb. 23.-According to the testi-
mony of experts. Colorado is an excellent
state in which to cultivate the sugar beet.
The house committee on agriculture ans
irrigation met last evening to hear argu'
ments ON behalf Of the bill introduced by
Mr.. Coonbs, giving 3 bounty of one cent
per pound OF homemade beet sugar. Mr..
George Ady and DIR. J. II. Tucker, both OF
whom have made q study of the beet, from
a financial and analytical point of
view respectively. addressed the COM
mittss. DIR. Tucker said the bill was
right with the exception that the bounty
should BIZ limited to Eve years, a. if the in
dustry could not stand on it's merits by that
time, it was not worth supporting. Ihe
bounty would not be required until 1892.
MIR. EDDY said before . 8ctOry could be
started proftably, there wouI require to be
from 800 to 100 acres under beet %cultiva-
ton. The beets must be manufactured
close to where they arc grown. They will
not keep long and they are too bulky to be
shipped far. As to the financial part. he
said he would take the case of Nebraska.
and he would say that Colorado was q bet
ter state for the cultivation Of the bset than
it. The average was fifteen tons per acre
aud the average price paid was - per ton,
making go. The cost OF raising and har
vesting was $3.50 per acre. 30 there was a
good business profit left. In Colorado the
prospects are very good, ne said. Irrica-
tion was in favor Of the beet, of the average
temperature required, 10 per cent. could be
had in Colorado, and the beet fourisnes in
a sandy loan.
DIR. fucker said the analysis of the beetz
grown At Stirling and Grand Junction
showed II per cent. of sugar. while those
grown in Nebraska were IL per cent. In
Germany and France the average WAS only
nine per cent. The cost of q manufactory
to turn out $50 tons Of bests a day would be
about $4,000. The factory would be
started Us soon as there we're Sufficient
bsets.
All the member Of the committee spoke
ve,y favorably Of the bill and were well
pleased with what they had heard from the
experts. They will certainly report to the
house in favor of the bill.
The states and territory that give a
bounty are California. Utah. Kansas, New
jersey and Nebraska.
