THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM.

New York, Sept, 3O,-[Special to TIE
BEE. During the last ten years the Metro
politan museum has made rapid strides.
Though its permanent endowment is small,
80 that the trustees have every year to make
up IA considerable deficit out of their own
pockets, it has been constantly in receipt of
handsome gifts, and the city has furnished
a suitable building to contain them, which is
now for the second time in process of en-
largement. Some years ago the museum
seemed to contain hardly anything but the
Cesnola collection Of antiquities from
Cyprus, other things being comparatively so
few and iuconspicupps, But this dispropor-
ton no longer exists. 1.-The antiquities from
Egypt, tho unrivaied bcollections of ancient
glass, the Japeness pottery and carving,
the tapestries, LACE and embrolderles,
ancient and modern, the iron, gold and silver
work, and the specislGollections such as The
Moore collection, and the memorials of
franklin and Washington are equally con
s~picuous and important. Seven or eight
galleries contain pictlfes, many of which are
famous masterpieces, and remarkably few of
which are of inferlor quality, while the col
lections OF casts OF, architectural details is
one of the largest, qI9st carefully selected
and best arranged Ia existence, aud the
models OF the templept Klrnak, the Pan

Notre Dame are the only ones of their kind.
The new wing is to Yo9htaIn u collection of

which Will give the museum in this respect
also "a foremost place among the great

Meanwhile the trustees have forgotten
that a museum is made for study as well as
Tor diversion, and have from time TO time
SET on loot classes IN drawing, painting,
modelling, bronze and iron work, architec-
Iure, and ornamental design. 1t is now,
however. no longer necessary for the

teaching. This is as well or better done

Deet farmers realized from S55 to 800 per

According TO Prof. Wiley of the Depart
ment OF Agriculture, California is the most
promising state for the gro wth Of the sugar

GENERAL PROGRESS OF THE INDUSTRY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-To the Editor of
The BEE: j was surprised last evening to
hear Mr.. Henry Il. Oxnard of Nebraska, who
has Just appeared before the ways and
means committee in behalf either of duty on
imported sugar for the benefit of American
producers, or else a bounty to the American
producers, say that the production of the
sugar beet can be made a most profitable
thing for the small farmer as well as the big
one and that 1t can be- produced in almost
any quarter of The country. He claimed, in
deed, that on five acres in New England as
much profit could be made on the production
Of the sugar beet as upon $50 acres in corn.
We, of course, continued our conversation,
and 1t developed facts somewhat as follows:
While a great impetus has been given to
the production Of cane sugar in the south
and to beet sugar in the west by the McKin.
ley tariff of 1890, the uncertainty as to what
the continued policy of the government
would be has prevented the consummation of
much OF the development that was expected.
1t Is claimed by the Louisiana Sugar
Planters association, however, that the
sugar crop in that state for 1882 was about
5000 100 tons, and for Texas 10000 tons, ana
that the new area of land opened has been
about 10 per cent per annum, or 20 per cent
since NONoinDer, 1871; tnat III the bounty or
its equivalent is maintained the area of
lands for sugar will Increase IS per cent an.
nually IN the future, and that this protection
and the improved methods of manufacture
promise IA 20 or % per cent increase yearly of
the sugar product, which would double
Louisiana's crop in four or five years. 1t is
also understood that &, 900, 900 Of additional
capital has been put in the sugar industry
In Louisiana and Texas since the passage of
the act OF 1850 The Chamber OF Commerce
OF Spokane, Wash, is organizing a company
for the manufacture of beet sugar and
Efforts have been made TO secure the plant
Ing OF at least 1000 acres in beets. .. X.
