The complete statistics show that the
production of beet sugar in the United
States has more than doubled during
the past year, although there has been
no increase in the number of factories
The total production of the six factories
was 81, 0S3, 322 pounds, against total
'of l2,0O4, s3S pounds last year. Ex-
periments in growing sugar beets have
been tried in number of the Western
States, and the success has been 80
great that the number of factories will
be increased.

That versatile and industrious statis-
tician, Edward Atkinson, has made q
calculation as regards the "bill for our
Civil War" He figures up, as the ex-
penditure for war purposes and re-
construction, some $4,000, 900, 900 /;
and as to the probable cost of war, in
money, to the South, of 80, 200, 900, =
900. To these he adds the pension
roll at 81, 800, 900, 900, and the esti-
mated cost of future pensions, accord
ing to life tables, at about 81, 900, 900, :
900 more. This, together with the in
terest allowance of about $4,000, 600, =
900, swells the'total cost of the Civil
War to the sum of Sl2, 900, 600, 900.

An examination of the statistics of
horses, horned cattle, sheep and swine
of the country shows some surprising
things to the American Dairyman.
Placing our population at $4,000, 600
we find that there is but one horse for
every four and small fraction of our
per capita. That there are but a trife
over three-fourths of horned cattle for
every unit of population, while there
are about two-thirds of a sheep for
every person of the population. From
this we can gather the Importance of
the labor of the farmer. Without his
crops we should soon be on the verge
of starvation. With this condition con-
fronting us, civilization would soon
disappear and man become barbarian
if he did not descend still lower in the
scale of life. This should teach us the
importance and dignity of the farmers
calling and our absolute dependence on
his labor

Says the New York Press; The OBJ
stacle to the general substitution of
aluminium for iron and steel in the arts
has been the high cost of extracting it
from the native clay, This has been
partially overcome by progressive i'm
provements in the process of manufac-
ture, but still aluminium remains too
costly to be thought of as substitute
for the baser metals, Notwithstanding
its advantages in other respects. The
reported discovery of extraordinarily
rich deposits of aluminium clay in Ala
bama and Georgia indicates long step
forward for the white metal. Six coun-
ties in these two States are said to be
underlaid with bauxite ore, some of
which has yielded as high as forty-eight
per cent. of pure aluminium. If the
reports from these counties are reliable
f. aluminium age is approaching.

American Students in France.

There are from 1900 to 1000 Amer
ican students in France. Some of
these are working TO perfect themselves
in the language, some are studying
vocal music, some architecture aud a
few sculpture, but the majority are
working at the easel The schools and
studios of Paris are open to the whole
world, and, with few exceptions, even
the prizes of the grand Salon are ac-
cessible TO foreign students, The art
student may connect himself with IA
private school, or, if his drawings are
satisfactory, he may obtrin admission
to PEcole des Beaux Arts. In the Ju-
lian schools work-room is furnished
in which the student can work for u

County names in New England and
middle Atlantic States are almost ex-
clusively of English or Indian origin.
In the border States of the South they
are chiefly English; in the gulf States
English and Ipdian, with French in
Louisiana and traces of Spanish origin
in Florida and Texas. In the Missis-
sippi Valley they are again of English
and Indian origin, with some French
names coming down from the Jesuit
explorers. In the Rocky Mountain
States they are again English and In
dian, with larger proportion of the
latter than elsewhere, and on the Pacific
coast of Spanish County names again
crop out. Texas has a Deaf Smith
County, about the only instance of
nickname having been fixed upon an
important political division. The Chi
cago Herald thinks pretty fair history
of the political and social influence at
work in the early development of
State could be written from study of
county names,

To Locate Metals In FIesh.

An electrical instrument has recently
been invented which is sufficiently deli
cate to detect the presence of one
eighth of an inch of steel or iron wire
at a distance of six inches from itself
1t is intended for use in locating small
pieces of magnetizable metal, such as
needles, tacks, steel and iron chips,
etc, that may have entered the human
body unawares and hidden themselves
in the skin or deeper tissues. 1t will
probably prove to be OF great service
where the ordinary methods of detect
ing the presence Of foreign metallic
substances are ineffective and unreli-
able. Farmer,

During the last twenty years the
area of land in England under the
plow has diminished by very nearly
1000, 600 acres, or over fourteen per
cent. The amount of arabic land in
Wales has diminished twenty-one per
cent. in the same period. In Scotland,
on the contrary, it has increased by
7s, 900 acres. This difference is partly
explained by the relatively large areas
of land in Scotland retained under
clover and rotation grasses, more than
one-third of the whole cultivated area.
In England the proportion of culti-
waited land so occupied is little more
than one-tenth of the whole Chicago

of the customs here struck me with

For many years county officials
in this State were required to make
quarterly reports of all moneys col
lected by them to the Auditor Gen
eral. In recent years many default
ed and the State lost large sums OF
money. To remedy this the last
Legislature passed an act requiring
all such officials TO make monthly
instead of quarterly reports. The
Harrisburg Patriot, in alluding to
the subject, remarks; "Of the 25O
county officers whose monthly re-
ports TO the Auditor Generals de.
partment were due on September IA,
all have reported save eighteen.
Compared with former months, this
is an exceedingly good showing,
but General Gregg is determined to
secure them all. Some few officers
have Legitimate excuses for briei
delay. In four cases notice has
been served that prosecution is com.
menced and that the full penalty foI
delinquency will be demanded. Il
