ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR.

A Curious Process Which Has Met With
 Some Success In France.
 A very novel method of making Sus- ar has been patented in France by M. Pellegrini. Sugar is chemically a com pound of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen in such proportions that if carbonic acid, water and certain kinds of illumi- mating gas could be persuaded to unite in the proper quantities the composition of sugar would be exactly initiated. Hitherto no one has been able to make sugar by mixing water with two kinds of gas, but NJ. Pellegrini claims to have succeeded The apparatus he uses con- sists of a large block of punice stone, cleansed by soaking first in sulphuric acid and then in water, which is set in an iron box plated with nickel inside. The length of the box is three times that of the pumice stone block, which Is tightly fitted in the middle, and pipes arc arranged to convey the ingredients to the empty ends of the box, as requir- ed. Two of them enter from the sides and serve to bring carbonic acid and hydrocarbon gas, while another pipe from above branches so as to reach both empty portions of the box and conveys steam. All the pipes are fitted with valve and pressure gauges.
 Another pipe Ut the bottom of the box serves as an outlet At first this pipe is closed, as Is also the steam pipe from above, and carbonic acid is forced into one end of the box, while cthylene gas is forced into the other under equal pressure and ill equal volumes. A few minutes later the steam valve above is opened and the steam forced in under the same pressure. As the gases unite the pressure falls, so that the supply of each must be kept constant At the end of half m hour the supply of gas is shut of, the outlet pipe is opened, and one of the chambers is found to bc filled with sirup containing 9 per cent of sugar.
 The sirup Is drawn of for refining. and as soon as the apparatus is cool it is ready for n fresh charge. The ethy- lene gas can be obtained by roasting rosin or grease, but M. Pellegrini's pat ent covers other hydrocarbons. such as petroleum products The explanation is that the three gases are condensed in the pores of tho pumice stone and there unite. Architect.

F. and other interesting state exhibits that were part of Pennsylvania display at tho Worlds fair.
 The library building is 147 feet long by 90 feet broad and Is built in the form of n cross set on a square pedestal The building is constructed throughout of iron, brick and stone and is as near fireprOof as mans ingenuity can make it. There are j4 alcoyes for books, and when each Is unoCcupiod it can be shut off from the others by a wrought iron screen. Each alcoyc will be furnished with tables and chairs, and the books will Dc arranged according to subjects, so that they may be easily found. The lighting is by electricity, while steam furnishes the heat. All the doors open ing on the main hallway are of mahog- any, and the hardware is of antique bronze. On the frieze over tho doorway of the executive building are carved DOT traits of Meade, Franklin, Penn, Wayne and Mifflin, and the hall. stairway and gallery of this building arc extremely artistic.
 Work on the building was commenced Oct 17, 1893, and is to be completed in year. Over 2, UOO, 900 bricks, 500, 900 pounds of iron and 2, GOO, 900 pounds of stone have been used ill tho construc- ton of tho building. The building will cost $47S, 900.

No More Leaves If 4bs-nce to He Issued Ancr ;urday.
 ALBANY, Sept. 7.-Therc was light attendance nc night when tho convention was called to or.ier.
 MT. Carter asked leave of absence for Saturday. MT. Choate said that at this time no delegate should absent himself from the sessions. The gentleman was excused, but a heated discussion ensued.
 MT. Root moved that all excuses be re- voked MT. Vedder thought this unfair to those who werc absent. MT. Root said the convention had tho right to reconsider requests for leaves of absence, and MT. w. H. Steele, who was in the chair, sided with him. MT. Roots motion was tabled.
 Mir. I. Sam Johnson moved that after Saturday no further leaves of absence be granted except in cases of illness. This gave new impetus to the discussion.
 MT. Nicoll-Since the majority arc re- sponsible for the work of the convention. especially since 1t has taken on political aspect, they should remain in attendance and do their work.
 MT. Johnson's motion was carried yeas. i3; nays 34.
 The question of no quorum was raised but the chair ruled 1t out, saying all had not voted
 Mir. Forbes moved the appointment of committee pt I've to consider the matter of granting VI ater rights on Niagara river. Laid over under the rule.
 Mir Root then took the floor and con tinued his argument for the proposed ap- portionment. He thought the committee was to be censured for not providing in the scheme a means whereby the surplus population in the country districts could be used by adding 1t together so that the counties in the country should have the same equality as the compact population in New York and other cities
 ''I want to assert" he said, flor fear of misunderstanding, that this bill does not give in any unfair way the Republicans an advantage over tho Democrats In fact 1t does not actually give the country Re publicans the representation they are en- titled to-"
 Whom Mir. Foot closed, MT. Bush arose to answer him. Tho appOrtionmcnt of 1Sg3 may bo unjust Iapplause from tho Republican sidel: there never was an sp- portionment that was not More ap- plause. But this is not unjust-it Is in' iquItous. It was gotten up solely for pres ent purposes and to aid the Republican party"
 MT Cookinham said he was responsi- bls for fixing tho number of senators at 30 It was based on the great increase since the number 3s was fixed on tho then population. He challenged any mern- ber of the minority to put his finger on one district and show where it could Dc improved. Adjourned

Antiauity of Smoking.

In the mortar of the tower of Kirk stall abbey, which fell in the year l779, Whitaker mentions that several little ''smoking pipes" were found, showing that the smoking of some herb or other was in use in England 100 years before tobacco was introduced. Dr. Petrie mentions that pipes of bronze for smok- ing are often found in ancient Irish tu- muli. in the monument of DOnough O'Brien, king of Thomond, who was killed A. D. 1627 and inferred in the abbey of Corcumrae, County Clare, he is represented with short pipe, or du- deen, in his mouth.
 It may be observed that in some very ancient coal workings, which were found under Lambton castle some 80 years ago, some of these very old smok- ing pipes were found, and generation or two ago not far from Lambton very poor old folks might often be seen smOk- ing the common white flOwerod yarTow, a herb frequently found i'll country churchyards. ds.-Newcast!e Chronicle.
