The Helpless Lord Chancellor.

The responsible Office of chairman
Or president Of a legislative body is one
that generally carries with it both pow
ers and privileges. There are, however,
exceptions to the rule. In the British
house of lords it is not the lord chancel-
lor but the whole house that is addressed
as "My lords"
The speaker is the sole judge of all
questions of order in the house of COM
mons. In the house of lords such mat
ters, when there is a conflict of opinion,
are decided by the whole house and not
by the lord chancellor.
If several members of the house of
commons rise simultaneously to take
part in a debate. the speaker decides
who shall speak first, but if two or
more peers rise together in the house Of
lords the lord chancellor cannot decide
who shall first be heard. 1t is the voice
of the house that determines.
Happily etiquette is so strong in the
gilded chamber that it rarely happens
when the house by cries expresses its
desire to hear one of the contending
peers that the others do not give way.
But some years ago there was a notable
scene over the question whether peer
who had risen from the front Tory
bench should be heard in preference to
peer who had risen from the front
Liberal bench.
NJ Neither noble lord would give way,
and to bring the curious situation to an
end Earl Granville moved that the Lib
eral peer be heard The house divided on
the question and decided by big ma
jority that the Tory peer should be
heard first.
It is difficult for the average man to
understand why the lord chancellor
should not be able to exercise authority
which is vested in the chairman of
every public meeting, but there is a
subtle constitutional point involved in
this apparently ridiculous procedure.
All peers are equal as Legislators in
the house of lords. No one Of them can
be vested with authority over the others.
Therefore, when point Of order is in-
volved it is the whole house and not
the lord chancellor that must decide the
issue. London Sunday Magazine.

THE EVAPOKA.TOFS

In that time it's consumption has
doubled, and its per capita consumption
/ increased one-half, till now the latter is
two and three times the per capita con-
sumption of Germany, France and other
sugar producing countries.
We use sixty pounds of sugar per cap
ita per year, and import fifty-one
pounds of it.
In sixteen years we have paid out fif-
teen hundred million dollars for import
ed saccharines. Sugar has declined in
the same time from an average market
value of more than seven and a half
cents per pound to less than three and
half cents per pound, and our s10O, ,OO0.-
900 per year during the last six years has
bought more than twice the sugar it
bought sixteen years ago, or even twelve
years ago.
Everyone knows of the repeated at
tempts and failures to force domestic
development of this great industry by
legislating national and state bounties
to sugar makers, and high protective
tariffs levied on the cane sugars pro-
duced by cheap labor of China, Cuba
and elsewhere, and on the beet sugars
from Germany and France, subsidized
by export bounties paid to their makers
by Germany and promised by France.
Numerous articles have appeared in
the press during the past decade detail
ing sundry attempts in various parts of
the country to start and encourage the
beet sugar industry.
Cane sugar, however, has brought an
eighth of cent a pound more in the
markets of the world, and this difference
in price is based on plain difference in
quality. The reason given for this IS
that with the exception of a very few
independent beet sugar factories the
domestic beet sugar product is produced
by cane sugar makers.
The beet sugars produced by them ara
inferior, off-color grades, to which con-
fectioners and fruit preservers have
found good grounds for objection.
NEW REFINERIES
1t is the purpose of this article to de-
scribe the refining process which has
Produced a beet sugar overcoming all
objections, as white and sweet as cane
sugar and as serviceable in candy MAX
ing and fruit preserving.
The refinery referred to was installed
during the past year by E. II. Dyer &,
Co. of Cleveland, O.. at Los Alamitos,
near Los Angeles, for w. A. Clark OF
Butte, Mont, and J. Ross Clark of Los
Angeles. Cal, and has just finished its
first seasons run. Its capacity is $50
tons of beets per day and the results of
the first seasons 1un have been so sat

doubled before the next season. An ad-

through 10000 feet of tubing coiled in
the juice boiling within them.
The vacuums of the four evaporators
vary from five to ten to twenty, and
finally, twenty five inches by the mer-
curial gauge, and the juice flowing
from the lower to the higher leaves them
relieved of water to the extent of three
quarters of it's bulk to be again subject
ed to a similar process in the vacuum
pan.
IN THE VACUUM PAN
Crystal grains of sugar first appear
as seen in the ordinary granulated
sugar. The vacuum pan is not pan
at all, but like the four evaporators it
is more like a vast kettle turned upside
down, big as a cellar and twice as deep
as man is tall, full of steam pipes and
with an iron dome to it from which the
air can be exhausted while the juice is
being boiled.
The discharge from the vacuum pan
has the appearance of light yellow
syrup in which granulated sugar has
been copiously mixed
This is called melada, bullmasse or
masse-cuite. 1t is again thoroughly
mixed and from two to three hundred
pounds of it is run into a centrifugal
machine such as can be seen in any
steam laundry ringing out clothes, ex-
cept that the circumference of the re-
volver is made of wire of fine enough
mesh to hold the sugar instead of
coarsely perforated meta,
A thousand revolutions per minute
of the centrifugal throw all the fluid or
molaSseS out through the wire screen
and retain the crystals of sugar. These
are squirted on and washed with water
while still revolving and sent to the
dryer, from which they tumble out,
thoroughly dried, into a bag packer,
similar to that used in flour mills, and
go into hundred pound sacks, granu-
lated table sugar of winter color and
higher grade than has ever before been
produced in Southern California.
THE SECOND SUGARS
Second sugars are those made from
the molasses. or uncrystallized juice,
thrown off by the centrifugals from the
first sugars, as just described.
1t is especially in the manipulation of
the second sugars that the new process
at Alamitos has made great saving in
time and labor over other refining pro-
ceSses.
| The molasses is again boiled in the
vacuum pan to a state called blank,
meaning without grain, and is then
transferred to the crystallizer, a huge
tank, where it is slowly agitated by re-
volving arms for about four days. Crys-
tails of sugar then appear in it, and the
mass is run into the mixer and the CEN
| trifugals, where the sugar crystals are
separated from it as before. a The sugar
obtained from it, however, is of the ap-

tates with both. Carbon dioxide gas
lis then injected. and the lime which has
combined with the sugar IL again pre-
cipitated, the sugar being again set free
in solution. The precipitated lime and
other impurities are now removed by
filter process.
In the filter presses the whole mass is
forced through a series Of canvas bot
toned trays in iron frames. about three
feet square and one inch deep, set on
edge. Under pressure the precipitated
| imp Irities are retained In these trays,
while the clear juice passes through
them. After each charge the filter
presses are taken apart and unloadcd of
| the lime, etc, which is valuable fer
tilizer for adobe soils.
The clear juice from the filter presses
is then charged with sulphur fumes
which remove the last traces of lime,

Qualification.
EvAPORATED AND CRYSTALLIZED

flied juice and condense it to one quar-

refinery of 800 to 1000 tons capacity is
contemplated by them as soon as beets
enough to run it can be arranged for.
w. A. Clark is the owner of the United
Verde mines at jerome, Ariz., one of the
richest copper properties in the world,
and, in conjunction with ]. Ross Clark,
also owns the Butte, Mont, mines and
smelter. This is their first investment
in sugar beet business. Two years ago
they knew little or nothing about it
The land in the vicinity where they To-
Gated their refinery was supposed to be
worthless for sugar beets only few
years ago. 1t is worth from $50 to $3.50
per acre now and produces twelve tons
of beets to the acre. The discovery of
the sugar beet value of Los Angeles
county lands is due essentially to Rich
ard Gird, formerly owner of the Chino
ranch.
With the assistance of the Dyers h
demonstrated by an exhaustive series of
experiments that Los Angeles county
land and inferentially all Southern Cal
ifornia could produce high-grade beets.
This attracted the Oxnards and resulted
in their Chino refinery
PREPARING THE BEETS
The beets are gathered and topped"
at the farm and sent to the factory in
wagons. Topping consists of slicing off
with a straight cut all the beet which
grows above ground The line of the
cut is determined by marks of expos
ure on the surface of the beet, and must
be below the lowest leaves.
After weighing and sampling, the
wagonload is dumped from an overhead
bridge into great bins, whence the beets
are delivered to the factory by fumes,
in which they are washed on their way
to it. By the flume the beets are shot
into a wheel elevator. which throws
them into the washer, great tank fun

to clear them of roots and dirt. From
this they are carried by bucket ele-

vator to the cutter. where they are
sliced into thin strips, about quar-
ter of an inch in diameter and two inches
long, called cossettes.
DIFFUSION BATTERY
From the cutter the cossettes fall di-
rectly into the cells of the diffusion bat
terry. The diffusion battery is composed
of fourteen cylindrical iron cells, con-
nected by pipes a foot in diameter, and
like fourteen forty horse power boilers
set on end and connected by piping.
Each cell holds two and half tons of
cossettes, and when filled the hot water
is turned on at one point in the circle
From one cell to another around the ring
the hot water travels, carrying with il
all the sugar from each cell lot, and is
then piped to the calorizator.
The cells are filled and emptied in
rotation at the rate of eight or ten an
hour, and the boiled cossettes remain.

IastH Days-The the Baltic Sea-A
Saccharne Sovereign

An improved beet sugar refining pro-
within the last hundred days produced
q beet sugar equal to cane sugar for the
first time in the history Of the industry
in Southern California.
In the way Of producing beet sugar equal
to cane sugar will do more for the sugar
industry of the United States, or of any
section of it, than bounty. 1t will
more quickly and substantially encour-
age the production within this country
of all the sugar it consumes.
This means the retention in this coun-
try Of $100,000,000 in gold per year. now
sent abroad to pay for imported sugars.
1t also means new employment for
200,0n0 farmers, mechanics, laborers,
etc., supporting one-seventieth of the
population of the United States.
This matter is of especial interest to
CalifOrnians. Because of their fruit
preserving industries their consumption
of sugar Is disproportionately large
Two thousand twenty-ton carloads of
sugar per year barely serve to satisfy
their demands. Moreover the sugar
beet growing territory Of the United
States, except for thin strip along the
gulf coast, is confined in the east to the
northern states, but west of the Missis-
tippi 1t broadens out like a fan and
covers all of the state of California. In

can be raised in all parts of California,
and in Los Angeles and Orange coun-
ties as sweet beets have been produced
as have been grown anywhere on earth.

says. in effect, that the country has been
convulsed over a proposition to coin
100, 100000 silver dollars. or less, per
year. at 16 to 1. and no one will deny
the benefit of keeping at home 100000
900, gold dollars, that are sent out Of the
country each year for sugar. 1t would
be equivalent to a per capita increase in
circulation of $3.50 each year. SIS in ten

is no longer any doubt about 1t that this
country can produce its own sugar.
1.-The sugar beet can be grown over q
large part of the United States, and in
some sections attains perfection never
approached in other countries.
1.-The Watsonville, CAL, beet sugar fac
tory pays 81 per ton for all beets. Since
it's humble beginning, little more than
eight years ago. it has paid 50, 800 900 tc
| farmers for beets, new crop that but
| for it would not have been grown. More
than half a million has also been paid
for labor at the factory, in brief, some
Sc, ,00O 900 that would otherwise have
gone out of the country to pay for sugar
This has made that a prosperous COM
munity where farmers were prosperous
and money was easy all through the
hard times of 1S93-96.
