The Sugar Bounty in the south.

Relying upon the continuance of the
bounty for the full period specified i'm the
Mckinley law, the cane growers have
planted a large acreage, and, by the adop-
ton of the most approved machinery, they
OPP the production of domestic sugar. Real
iZlng That the bounty is not only likely to
build up the cane industry, but establish a
very profitable beet sugar industry as well,
the lower House of Congress seems to be
less disposed TO attack the bounty clause,
while, as long as the Senate remains ill
Republican hands, il is not probable that
a change In one of the essential features of
the Mckinley act will be permitted. -NelD

party and against the Republican pro-
tective system; and yet the Picayune

which is doing 80 much to build up the
sugar industry in the South, will not be
disturbed as long as the Senate remains n,

Railroads In India.

Railway travel in India may ue
made very cheap, for although first
class fare is three cents mile, the
second-class is but cent and half,
and third-class only half cent. One
has little trouble with his baggage
at the stations. AS soon as the train
stops, says the author of "Indiaka,"
he has only to go to the door Of his
compartment and call out, "Kuli
hai?" which means, as there a porter
about?" and the question will be
answered by one or perhaps half a
dozen barefooted natives.
At the time Of the decennial pill
grimages, thousands of natives take
the train, crowding in with such per-
sistency that there Is no withstand
ing the pressure. Sometimes the
railroad officials stand near the cars,
and with great bamboo rods beat
away the pilgrims, pounding them
over the head and shoulders with all
their might, in order to prevent the
dense crowd from overwhelming the
train.
The pilgrims and the ordinary
natives use the third-class carriages,
but Europeans are taking to them
very rapidly. When Bishop William
Taylor was making his four years
evangelistic tour through India, he
succeeded in setting that economical
fashion. 1t was not then considered
respectable to adopt such humble
means of travel, and he was asked:
why do you ride In third-class
cars?"
His reply came on the instant.
Because there are no fourth-class
carsl"
Since then, it has been respectable
for Europeans to travel by any class.

SHOT BY HIGHWAY MEN.
Train Robbers Resort to Murder and Flee
without the Plumber.

without the Plumber.
One OF the most daring attempts at
train robbery that ever occurred In
Florida took place at 100 o'clock tho
other morning on the Jacksonville,
Tampa, and Key West Road, just north
OF Monroe Junction, four miles from
Sanford, Fla. The West India fast mail,
which left Tampa carrying two express
cars, the United States mails and some
passenger coaches, was boarded at Mon
roe Junction by four men. When just
north OF the junction and while the train
was running at about five miles an hour,
two OF the men got on the engine and
presented revolvers at the heads Of
Engineer Dumas and his fireman, order
ing them to keep quiet at the peril Of
losing their lives. The engineer and
fireman being taken by surprise could
do nothing but obey, as he deter
mined action OF the desperadoes
showed they meant what they
said: The two other men entered the
express cars, which were occupied by
Messenger w. n. Saunders and Special
Agent /. Nj. Cox, and attempted to over
power them. The two expressmen, al
though taken by surprise, made des-
perate resistance and the robbers then
deliberately shot Saunders, two balls
taking effect in his breast and head, kill
ing him instantly. Mr.. Cox had his man
at bay and was about to subdue him,
when the other robber, after killing
Saunders, fired at Cox twice, one ball
hitting him in the arm and the other
hitting him in the face, the ball pene-
trating to the left eye. His nose also
was shot nearly off. The desperate
villains then hurriedly and without
securing any booty jumped from the car,
fearing that the noise of the firing would
bring the train hands to the rescue, and
fled to the woods, which are particularly
dense is that section. There was be-
tween $50, 900 and $40, 900 in the safe.

Path OF Sound Waves.

Sound travels by waves radiating
from central point of disturbance,
just as waves radiate when stone is
dropped into still water. So far as the
hearing of each individual is concerned,
these waves move in direct line from
the cause of the sound to his ear, the
impact being the greatest in the ear
nearest to the source. This being the
case, person who has totally lost the
sense of hearing in one ear, although
he may imagine that the defect is of lit
tie consequence, cannot locate the di-
rection of a sound to save his life, even
when the center of disturbance is quite
near him

Profits in sugar Beets.


A short time ago Charles II. auckland
culturist on beet sugar and the new
tariff law. Ii is so full of fresh facts and
valuable suggestions that liberal ex-
tracts are herewith given. No more
striking example of the growth and sue
cess OF the beet sugar industry can be
afforded than that of Germany, where
the production of raw sugar increased
from 1876, 442 tons for the season of 1871
~ to more than 200, 900 tons for the
season of lS90-9l. Within two decades
the growth was phenomenal. Ii was a
growth of 645 per cent. in production,
due solely and exclusively to the
bounty system established by the Ger
man government TO promote an agri-
cultural and manufacturing industry for
commodity of life which could be
raised on German soil, and which could
be consumed throughout the universe.
The increase in German industry can
best be seen from the following table.

What an Engiishman Thinks Of Our
Tariff Law.

EDITOR LONDON TINES: Sir-As doubt
less you are aware, census is being
taken in the United States of the indus
trial results of the Mckinley tariff and
it's success in establishing new industries
and bringing increased opportunities
for employment to the working classes.
The first returns have just been collated.
They show that in the last eighteen
months no fewer than 127 new factories
have been established and 90 old ones
expanded. Four well-known English
textile firms have moved the whole or
a portion of their plant across the At
lantic, and many of the most skilled
hands from the tin-plate mills in South
Wales have emigrated.
With such results, attended by the
notable increase In the American ex-
port trade, contrasting with the continp-
Gus decline in British exports and the
daily record of diminishing employ
ment for English, Welsh and Scotch ar
tisans, the hope is small, If not nal, of
the early reduction of the tariff which

Running Wild.

Some thirty years ago several farm
ers put two small flocks of sheep on
Monhegan, bleak and rocky island
of the entrance to Penobscot Bay, be-
lieving that sheep could take care of
themselves almost anywhere. Since
then the flocks have increased to
an aggregate of two hundred and
fifty head, running wild and receiv-
ing no attention whatever. Once a
year men have gone to the island and
driven the sheep into a pen, sheared
them, and marked the lambs. The
sheep are now owned by half a dozen
persons, some Of whom have not seen
the stock for twenty years.

, follows, in tons:

The bounty paid by the German gov
eminent on lis exported sugar Is less
than is being paid on sugar grown and
manufactured in the United States.
Having, therefore, this additional in
ducement OF larger bounty, together
with similarity, and in many places a
great superiority, of soils for the growth
OF the beet and Other conditions being
equal, it is self-evident that our Amer
lean farmers are batter situated to sue
coed than were the German sugar-grow-
ers of twenty years ago. We are not
obliged to export our sugar and incur
heavy transportation charges in doing
so, but can sell it at the factory door,
there receiving the national aid.
Furthermore, we have the advantage of
starting with the twenty years OF ex-
perience which the Germans have been
acquiring in perfecting their mechani-
cal processes. In lS7l-72 it required
30 pounds of beets to produce %
pounds of sugar, but it now requires
only 20 pounds of beets to make the
san g quantity of sugar. That we can
do this at the start was shown by the
operations of the Watsonville factory in
California during its first seasons oper-
atoms in 1888. the product there being
l $40 tons of sugar of 1000 pounds each,
manufactured from II, or tons of beets,
or 233 pounds of sugar per ton of beets,
only pounds of beets being required
for each pound of sugar.
For the farmer there is no better
paying crop than raising sugar beets
An average yield per acre is from 10 to
80 tons OF beets, which he sells at So
per ton. Taking the lower figure, his
returns would be S75 per acre, and
there is no other average crop that the
farmer can grow to such pecuniary adj
vantage. An outside estimate of the
cost of raising beets, including seed and
delivery at tho factory, is $40 per acre,
thus leaving net returns of $50 per acre.
Beet3, moreover, do not impoverish the
soil. They must not be grown year in
and year out on the same land, but as
alternate crops, growing wheat, say, ev-
cry other year. Beets must not be of
large size, but should weigh from to }
pounds each. Large beets are useless,
containing as they do superabund-
ance Of water and but little sugar. In
growing beets the farmer has an abso-
lutte guarantee of the price he will be
paid for them, he is sure of his money
within a week Of delivery, and his re-
turns are net cash, without deducting
freight, commissions or other disburse-
ments. That farmers, even in the East
ern states. are waking up to the advan-
tages of sugar beet raising as highly
remunerative crop is shown by the eff
forts to establish the industry in Onon-
daga County in the state of New York.

Gold Which Tourists Leave in Italy,
How does Italy, a country without
gold mines, find the gold to pay the ten
millions year due to foreign holders of
her bonds, not to speak Of the heavy bal
ance against her on her foreign trade?
Mr.. Dering, secretary of the British en-
bassy in Rome, declares that the only
solution of the question at which it is
logically possible to arrive is that this
amount of gold is annually brought into
the country by foreign travellers, who
swarm during the four seasons of the
year in one part Of Italy or the other.
From calculations made by the United
States consular representatives in vari-
GUS parts of this country it has been
computed that for the last ten years the
average expenditure in Italy Of Ameri-
can citizens has been about e. zoo, OOO
Mr.. Dering thinks it would scarcely be
an exaggeration to place the collective
expenditure Of British, French, Austrian,
German and other foreign travellers at
double this amount.
This. we are reminded, is irrespective
OF the money spent In the country by
the 30, 900 to 10000 pilgrims who annu-
ally visit the Eternal City, and OF the
amount Of which they are the bearers in
the shape Of donations to the holy see
