On the Chicago Filler.

The Chicago Aier is not driven by
one but by many engineers, says
writer in McClure's Magazine. In
order to cover the 1854 miles between
New York and Chicago in twenty
hours, including nine stops, there
are required seven huge engines in re-
lays, driven by seven grimy heroes: A
run of less than one hundred and fifty
miles is the limit per day for each en-
CINE, while three hours Of the plung-
ing rush wears out the strongest en-
gineer. Sixty, seventy, eighty miles
an hour what does that mean for the
man at the throttle Z? It means that
the six and half feet drivers turn
five times every second and advance
100 feet. The engineer turns his
head five seconds to look at the qua
ges, and in that time the terrible
iron creature, putting forth the
strength of thousand horses, may
have Shot past red signal with it's
danger warning 500 feet away. Ten
seconds, and 1000 feet are left be-
hind-one-ffth of mile. Who
knows what horror may lie within that
1000 feet There may be death
lurking round a curve, death spread
ing it's arms in tunnel, and the en-
gineer must see and be responsible
for everything. Not only must he
note instantly all that is before him,
the signals, switches, bridges, the
passing trains and the condition of
the rails, but he must act at the same
moment, working throttle, air brakes
or reversing the lever, not as quick as
thought, but quicker, for there is no
time to think. His muscles must do the
right thing automatically under cir
cumstances where second is an age.
In the three hours of his vigil there
are 10000 seconds, during each one
of which he must watch with mental
alcrtness of an athlete springing for a
flying trapeze from the roof Of an am
phitheater, with the courageous self
possession of a matador awaiting the
deadly rush of maddened bull; and
far more depends the engineers
watching we'll, because if he fails bya
hair breadth in GOODNESS or precision
of judgment, there may come destruc-
tion, not only to himself, but to hun
dreds of passengers, who, while he
stands guard, are perhaps grumbling
at the walters in the dining car or
telling funny stories in the smoker.
"What would youdo in collision"
I asked.
The engineer pushed back the little
black skul1cap from his iron-gray hair
and said:
"It is pretty hard to say what man
should do when he hears the whistle
of danger ahead or sees that a crash is
coming. Even the best Of us are Ii
able to get confused at such mo-
ment. What would you do if you
woke up in the night and found a
burglar holding pistol at your head?
There are are no rules for such cases.
What would not do, though, is to
reverse my engine, although many en-
gineers are liable to lose their heads
at critical moment and make that
mistake. It is curious thing that
reversing your engine suddenly when
going at high speed makes the train
20 faster instead of slower. The rea-
SON is that the drivers slip and the To-
comotive shoots ahead as if she were
on skates. The only thing to do is to
put on the air brakes and pray hard. "

The Sorghum Sugar Industry.

In recent report to the Secretary Of
Agriculture, DR.. 81. w. Wiley, chemist
of the department, stated, since 1888 there
had been $2O,723 expended at the Sugar
Experiment Station at Sterling, Kan,
and S40,0M at Medicine Lodge, Kan.,
since July /, 1890.
Secretary Morton Is said to be consid-
ering how these expenditures can be
reduced, and it becomes the duty of
every friend of the American sugar in
dustry to plead the cause of sorghum,
that member Of the trinity of American
ugar-producing plants which, while thus
far least successful, is far more promising
than was the beet fifty years ago, and
which to-day stands as the theoretical
rival Of tropical cane, and which ouly
such Investigations as DR.. Wiley has been
carrying on at Sterling and Medicine
Lodge, supplemented and enlarged, we
may say, by those carried on by our own
distinguished and public-spirited citizen
and planter, Mr.. Daniel Thompson, at
Calumet, can make practical success.
Sorghum cane can and will produce
sugar in large quantities. This has been
demonstrated in Kansas. There are
under the enlightened system undertaken
by the Department of Agriculture, are.
being removed one by one. Kansas is
an immense State, and q State of farms.
Agriculture is the dominant industry
there, and the limited rainfall and absence
of irrigating streams leads to the selection
of such crops as need the least rain Of all,
and the best adapted to the dry climate.
Alfalfa and sorghum became staple crops
because of their capacity to flourish In
the dry land of Kansas. OF these OF
course sorghum would become the great
money crop if its conversion into sugar
were made practical as we'll as theore-
tical success. To reach this end the De-
partment of Agriculture has been expert
menting number of years, and while.
the goal has not been reached, the e1-
pected 200 or 3c0 grand sugar houses have
not been erected in Kansas, and Kansas
Is not furnishing hundreds of thousands
Of tons of sugar to her sister States, yet
the possibility of all this exists; weshall
go further and say that the probability OF
It exists, and that sorghum has less to
contend with to-day than had the beet
fifty years ago, and now more than half
the sugar Of the world is made from the
beet, the suspected, discredited, ill-favor-
ed sugar plant that struggled into indus.
trial recognition during the first half Of
this century. Give sorghum chance,
let the government investigate with 1t
and experiment with it as European gov
ernments did with the beet, and we shall
finally conquer this refractory plant that
tantalizes us with 16 to 18 sugar per cent
in analysis while yielding but or 5 per
cent. in the factory, and Kansas will gain
the best crop her vast areas Of land can
be devoted to.-La. Planter.

How Money Grows.

At the birth Of his son a father
placed at interest 6 per cent. the sum
Of 81, 900, and each year invested all
the interest at the same rate. When
the boy was twenty-one years old he
found himself the possessor Of
s3,399,56. Being q young man OF
pluck and energy and anxious to try
his hand in unaided competition, he
told his father to keep the money and
he would take his chances with the
roor boys of his acquaintance.
When the son was so years old the
father notified him that his fortune
had grown to over s18,420, using
round numbers. At 70 the father
called his sons attention to his for
tune of over s59, 900, and since the
son had received the rewards Of his
industry he did not still take posses
sion of the fortune. The father soon
after died, and in his will required his
executors to keep the principal and
interest loaned until the son should
receive it or be removed by death.
The latter lived to good old age, and
on his sons Tooth birthday, besides
the accumulations of a busy and pros
porous life, was incumbered with a
fortune of 1899, ,300.-Kansas Farmer.

The Port Royal Line.

Tomorrow the steamship Lockmore
is expected to arrive here from Liver
pool. This is the initial vessel of the
Port Royal Shipping Company, and
opens up direct trade between this
port and the markets Of Europe.
This is the beginning of new era,
and the arrival of this steamship
marks the opening of an important
epoch in the history of the South and
Southwest. This is no trial expert
mcnt, but the commencement of q
business which, the near future, will
swell into lasting Importance. All
arrangements as to. cargo have been
made, and the Lochmore will have her
cargo placed aboard speedily and
will soon be on her way back with
an assorted freight of American. ex-

Cotton Seed OIL.

The question is frequently asked,
"what is cotton seed oil used for5" Last
year there were probably 1,25O, 900 tons Of
seed crushed. Out of this seed there
were obtained about 100000 barrels Of
oil.
At Chicago not less than 100000 barrels
are used By Armour q Co., Swift q Co.,
Nelson Morris, the Chicago Packing
Company, and N. K. Fairbank for max
ing lard. At st. Louis, Kansas City and
Omaha about 100000 barrels are used in
making lard.
The lard is made by mixing beef sueL
with cotton seed oil, the degree of hard
ness of the product being determined by
the relative proportion of the oil and
suet. It is notable that in much Of the
lard there is no hog product at all.
Swift q Co., name this compound of cot.
ton oil and suet 'coto suet," and Fair
banks product is called "cottoline."
About 10000 barrels are used on the
coast of Maine to pack sardines.
Probably $4,000 or 100000 barrels are
used by the soap-makers for making
toilet soaps. Amongst the notable con-
suiners of oil for soap-making are Proc
tor & Gamble OF Cincinnati, who make
ivory soap; Walker G. Co., of Pittsburg,
and Fairbank & Co., of Chicago.
Some 2OO,OCo or 300, 900 60 to Rotterdam,
for making butter. Large quantities go
to Marseilles, France, Trieste, Austria,
and various points on the Mediterranean
coast, especially in Italy, for mixing with
olive oil.
The poorer grades are used for illumi-
mating purposes in mines, as lubricant
for cutting threads on pipss and bolts and
other purposes.
It is not a good lubricating oil for 1t
contains too much gum. Much money
has been expended trying to find pro-
cess of refining that would eliminate the
gum.
Of late years much oil has been shipped
to Mexico and South America. In these
Latin countries it's used for cooking
grease, without the necessity of disguis-
ing it as lard by using beef suet with 1t.
In fact, most Of the people of the earth
prefer cleau vegetable oil for cooking
TO American fats. The Anglo-Saxons
and Germans are notable exceptions.
Its use in an unadulterated condition
in this country as cooking grease is
rapidly increasing, especially in Texas
and New England. All the restaurants
i'm Houston, Galveston and other South
western cities, and in Boston, Providence
and other New England cities, keep pure
refined cotton oil on hand at all times.
In Boston the physicians uniformly pre-
scribe food cooked in cotton oil as q
remedy forindigestion, and the idea has
grown very popular, especially in Boston
and the n',;,rnt towns and cities.-ChGT-

First Gorilla In America.

What is said To be the first live gorilla
ever brought into the United States is
now in the possession Of Donald Burns,
the dealer in wild animals and reptiles,
of lis Roosevelt street. Zoulo is the
monsters name. He is over six feet in
height, and with appraised arm can
reach q height Of more than seven feet.
His skin Is Of o dirty brown, covered
with a mass of short gray hair. The hair
on the arms Is longer, but the
chest is devoid of any hirsute growth.
His laws are thickly covered with q
beard.
He Is positively human in his ways
and has all the cunning of mad man:
Some idea of his strength can be gained
when it is said that he wrenched the
three-inch iron bar from his cage on his
way to this country and twisted II into
shapeless tangle. It took the united ef-
forts of four men to hold him in subjection
while new bar was being inserted in the
cage.
: Zoulo was captured in the Congo conn
try, near Lake Tanganyika. Mr.. Burns
agent had heard good deal about
him and made some unusual efforts to get
him.
The man-monster was surrounded by
forty Africans, under the agents direc-
ton; in the forest, and was secured by
throwing strong nets over him and bind
ing his limb after he had entangled him
self so that he was helpless. Before this
was accomplished, however, terrific;
struggle took place. he hissed and
snarled at his captors with horrible fe-
rocity. He was carted through the jun
gle ia conveyance drawn by eight oxen
and was brought 10 this country in the
hold of an African sloop. FIe is now at
at Danbury, Conn.,, where, he will
be exhibited at the celebrated Danbury
Fair.
Mr.. Bailey, of the "Greatest Show on
Earth" has offered $4,000 for Zoulo, but
Mr.. Burns price is $4,000. The late
Phineas r. Barnum made great efforts to
obtain live gorilla for exhibition, and
his agent, Robert Gaylor, spent over
100000 for this object. He obtain
ed several gorillas, but none of them
lived more than two weeks after their cap

ADDITIONAL DETAILS.

Upon reading in the State the recipe OF
Mr.. G. B. VVarrand, of Savannah, for the
making of sorghum beer, a Columbian,
who is fond of the foaming fluid, wrote
him for some additional details. In
reply he received the following letter,
which is published pro bono publico:
Dear Sii The quantities mentioned
in the formula are for quarter keg,
about 1-2 gallons.
To make mild beer one ounce of COM
pressed hops will be sufficient to four
gallons of beer. If you prefer very
bitter beer, use 1-2 to 2 ounces to four
gallons.
: Use one yeast cake to every four gal
Ions. Fleischman's compressed yeast
cakes, selling for cents each, are the
best, but the usual yeast cakes, home
made by every good house keeper, will
do as we'll. The yeast plant contained in
either has the faculty to absorb sugar and
exhale alcohol and carbolic acid, the one
intoxicates and the other causes the beer
to foam. One quart of syrup to three
quarts Of water will give you beer con-
tanning to 8 per cent. of alcohol. If the
quantity of syrup used is decreased any
where down to pint to three and one
half quarts of water, the result will be
very mild beer containing only to per
cent. of alcohol.
With little experimenting everybody
can make beer to suit their taste by
decreasing or increasing the quantity OF
hops and syrup employed. The hops are
a great help to digestion, the syrup is
entirely disguised and changed by fer
mentation, and as all the ingredients are
pure and innocent the beer is bound to
be wholesome. A barrel of such beer
can stay on tap for eight or ten days, and
will improve from day to day If kept well
bunged ina cool place after forty-eight
hours.
Any further information you may re-
quire I will gladly furnish you and re.
