Calnis's Lace Industry.

According to a recent report from
Charles W. Shepard, United States
consul at Calais, France, there are Mt
the present time about 1850 lace ma
chimes which, with the factories and
other accessories, represent capital
of over 50, 800, 900. Between 800 anth,
700 of these machines are engaged in
the making of cotton lace, the remain
ing 100 being adapted to the manu-
facture of fine silk goods. There are
about $50 manufacturers, and apart
from the 1000 hands working on the
looms making silk lace and 800 on
those making cotton lace, employment
is given to many thousands in the va
rious processes of winding, dressing,
dyeing, cutting, .mending, carding,
packing, and repairing of machines.
The average yearly production of
lace in Calais is estimated at ST., ,000,-
900, of which one-half is silk and one
half cotton. 1t is said that the fur
nishing of samples to the buyers of
the world entails an annual expense
on some of the largest manufacturers
of $25, 900. The proportion Of Calais's
yearly product shipped to the United
States is estimated at two-ffths to
three-ffths. Dry Goods Economist.

The feat of Baltimore bicycler, who

show that the new motor is superior

1t is not only insensible to fatigue,
but it is superior in point Of both
speed and endurance. Probably the
best record ever made by horse was
that of the animal ridden by Count
Stahrenberg in October, 1882, which
covered the distance from Vienna to
Berlin, four hundred miles, in seventy
one hours thirty-four minutes. This

One of the most important steps
recently taken by the trustees and
faculty of the state college of Penn

several summer courses, for the pur-
pose of making the laboratories and
shops of the college available during
part of the summer vacation for the
teachers of the state, aud those who
intend to become teachers, as we'll as
those who wish to pursue special lines
of research. A further purpose is to
give courses that persons who are not
quite fully prepared to enter college
may have opportunity to take a six
weeks drill in the subjects in which
they are deficient. These courses
will not be confined to persons who
propose to enter the state college, but
will be open to students who expect
to apply for admission to any college.

Beet Sugar Raising

Wasl ington, July 81. Consul
Muth, of Madgeburg, Germany, has
sent a report to the State Depart
ment concerning sites for beet sugar
factories. The report is considered
especially interesting at this time on
account of the prospects OF increased
beet sugar production in this coun-
try. The Consul says:
Factories should be erected only
in localities where it has been dem
onstrated beyond doubt that sugar
beets can lie grown successfully.
Experience has SHOWN that the sugar
beet grows in almost any soil, pro-
vided the proper fertilizer is applied.
\ rich deep soil, with a porous, well
drained subsoil, should be selected.
1t is not necessary to plant large
areas; small patches here and there
will answer for experimental pur-
poses, and in this way large district
can be covered without obtainining
an accumulation of beets. The
factory must be easily accessible to
the farmers, and should, therefore,
be situated in the heart of the dis
trict from which it draws its beets
Material needed in the manufacture
should either be close at hand or
easily procurable.
Besides beets the principal mate
rails needed to run sugar factory
are water, fuel and limestone, water
to wash the beets, and limestone for
the publication of the beet juices.
III Germany beet sugar factories
principally manufactured raw sugar
TO be solo to the refneries. From
the nature of the sugar industry in
the United States, the beet sugar
factories probably will find it more
advantageous TO manufacture gran
ulated sugar ana sell it for direct
consumption.
