Chicago Day.
CHICAGO. Oct. lot was an ideal day
for the observance of Chicago day at
the worlds fair grounds. From morn
ing until night not a cloud appeared in
the sky. The White City never was
more beautiful, standing out in such de-
lightful contrast against the blue
of the sky. with the blue
lake for its foreground, covered
with streamers. steam yachts and sail
vessels. each one of them black with
! it's living freight. To the aspect of
| beauty which it always wears, be the
weather what it may. was added q hol-
iday aspect of gayety from the pro-
fusion of flags and banners which
everywhere fluttered in the breeze.
A large number of disasters occurred
and score or more of persons were in
jured.
By 10 o'clock in the forenoon it was
apparent that the Fourth of July rec
ord had been broken, and by noon it
was estimated that there " ere between
300,0 600 and 400, 900 persons within the
gates, and still the rush continued at
the turnstiles. Every train was
crowded. Hour after hour the contin-
uous tide of humanity poured in. The
expected half-million mark was reached
and passed.
The count of tickets was not com.
pleted until 1:45 a. m. It was then
announced that the paid admis-
sions mum bered 1885. This included
6S2, 5S7 adults and 81, 059 children. Add
to this number total of 1880 admis-
sions on passes, and the grand total of

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 9.-The full
story Of the great storm is now told.
Every settlement along its path has
been visited and every survivor inter-
viewed. Each has told his tale of its
terrors and the heroism it brought out.
Newspapers here are at last able to
publish list of the dead which is not
likely to require many changes or addi-
tions. The only doubtful elements are
the loss of life at Cheniere Camin2da,
where 776 bodies have been recovered
and buried. Father Gondreaux, tile
parish priest, has furnished list of
1922 known to be dead. The estimates
Of the loss run from this figure to 1900
for the Cheniere proper and 800 for the
whole district.
Many Children Perlshed.
OF the 1922 dead at Cheniere Caminada
whose names are known 1876 were chill
dren. The Ca,ninada people are famous
for large families. Mr.. Lafon lost his
wife and fifteen children, August Bona
mour his wife and ten children and
Aisere Petre his wife and ten children.
The families of the three Valence
brothers, who lived 1ogetber-John,
Aulome and Perie-consisted of six
grown persons and twenty children.
OF these twenty-six only one--John
Valence--survived.
Many Are Missing.
In the Bayou Cook section the num-
Der of bodies recovered have been 131,
rs follows; In Bayou Cook, thirty
seven: Bayou Shute, thirty-seven; Grand
bayou, twenty-six; Bayou Ferrand,
seven; Bayou Chalard, one: Cypress
bay, sixteen, and at Tropical bend,
on the Mississippi river, Is miles
distant where they floated from
the swamp, seventeen. There are
ls3 other persons still missing,
who have not been seen since
the storm. Their bodies are supposed
to be lying in the swamps or were
swept to sea- This makes the total loss
in the Bayou Cook county S14. two
thirds of whom are Austrians from Dali

AN INTRODUCTORY MANUAL FOR
SUGAR GROWERS.

We have before US a little work on suga r
cultivation and manufacture, intended for the
use Of young overseers about to begin work
in sugar felds and boiling houses, which, if
carefully studied. will no doubt, prove a uss-
full manual of a documentary kind. There is
a good deal in it's lac. pages which will be
found instructive for beginners, and prob bly,
some things which may strike older hands as
worth attention. On the whole, it may be
pronounced as a safe guide in the boiling house
or on the field.
There is one matter dwelt upon in references
to cattle manures, which cannot be too care
fully attended to; it is to be found at page 81,
where it is said that lit frequently happens
that the manure cannot be applied to the land
directly, but must be kept for sone time; aud
the value of the resulting manure largely
depends on The way in which it is kept. In
the West Indies it is the practice t. herd the
cattle at night in uncovered pens, into which
large Quantities of vegetable matter-in the
fern of cano-tops for food, and tlash tor litter
are thrown, 80 that "a layer of manure of
considerable thickness is soon formed. In
many instances the drainagr-and with the
heavy rainfall of the tropics this is usually
abundant-runs away without any attempt
being made to preserve it; hence a large pro
portion of the nitrogen and potash is lost,
the remaining manure acting chiefly as a
mechanical agent, and possessing but little
fertilising power. Covered pens are recon-
mendsd, as by this means he manure is kept
dry and free from drainage"
There are no doubt many sugar growers
, 1893-04-05

IN the western colonies who do not stand
III need Of TINS advice, but for all that
IT may be of practical use to others. We
remember seeing the same w~asteful arrange
mrnts as We have noted ON some farms in this
country, and they may be still persisted in for
auglit we know.
In the portion Of this manual devoted to
Sugalmaking in the factory theirs is much that
is useful, no doubt, but III our opinion the
sta ement at page ll3, that 90 TO SO per cent.
Of sugar or cane juice can be recovered in the
form of crystallized sugar, and that with good
working the quantity Of molasses should not
exceed fifteen to twenty gallons per ton Of
sugar made, are hardly in accordance with
practical experience. No doubt AS much as
g. t. 80 per cent. has b en- obtained from eA-
ceptionally good juices, but it is too high =
figure for an average, ana even with this
result considerably more tn an twenty gallons
of molasSes per 5o1 Of sugar would remain.

NATIVE BIRDS IN NEW

Society. Professor Newton, FRS, in tn
chair, the council announced that they had
passed the following resolutions relative t.
the protection of native birds in New Yea
land The counsil Of this society have
learnt with great satisfaction the steps that
were proposed to be taken by the Earl Of
Onslow. when Governor of New iceland
and by the House of General assembly for
the presel walton of the native birds of New
Zealand, by reserving certain small islands
suitable for the purpose, and by ..afolding tbs
birds special protection on these islands
''Ihe council much regret to hear that diff
%culties have been encountered in carrying out
this plan as regards one of these islands
(Litfle Barrier Island. -sAF trust sthat the
Government of New Zealand may be induced
10 take the necessary steps to overcome these
difficulties, and to carry out this excellent
scheme IN its entirety" "The council ven-
ture to suggest that besides the native birds
to be protected in these reserves, ri shelter
should also be afforded to the remarkable
