with Mr.. G. H. West Of Greeley, Colo,
Mr. J. Packard. late Of New Zealand,
and Mr.. c. Candland, your correspond
ent visited the Utah Sugar company $
factory and also the stock feeding
yards near by, and was shown through
these institutions by Agriculture
Superintendent George Austin of the
sugar company. The visitors are in
terested in the culture of the sugar
beet and took special pains to examine
the machinery in all its parts and were
delighted with what was seen. Mr..
West has visited q number of fac
tories in the United States and said
that in his estimation the Utah fac
tory was among the best. At present
the factory is not running. but the
machinery is all going through re-
pairs and being put in proper order,
preparatory for next seasons run. a
number of men are kept employed for
that purpose and viii be busy for

THE STOCK YARDS.

The stock yards consist of sheds
reaching from one end to the other,
with flowing well supplying each pen
with a continual running stream.
There are also some 1,4OO head of
sheep kept at these yards. Some 80
of these are lively, and all are do
ing fine. Each head of cattle and sheep
is weighed when they enter the yards,
and also weighed when taken out.
The Feeding company feeds the
Sugar comDanys pulp and have it on
contract. This pulp is fed in troughs,
and the hay in very large managers.
The pulp is loaded on cars in the silos
and pulled by horses on track in and
among the pens. The sheep are kept
in two yards. In one yard they are fed
hay, and in another pulp. The COM
pany has very fine dipping watts, hav-
ing q dipping capacity of 1000 per day,
the sheep running into the Yats them
selves and passing through to the outer
side by running through the dip.

The storage and sale of ice as
business did not commence until 1905,
when Frederick Tudor, of Boston, cut
800 tons from his own pond, bought a
vessel, because no ship owner would
take the ice as a cargo, and shipped a
lot to Martinique, West Indies, where
the yellow fever was raging.
The middle ages, as a rule, are con-
Sidered as ending with the renaissance,
which began about 1853; they began
about 1000 years earlier, say $50 A. d.
The dark ages were about the same as
the middle ages. Learning was at a
low ebb, or at all events the revival of
learning in Europe after 1853 made the
previous state of learning seem low by
comparison.
The Salvation Army has instituted
an interstate labor bureau, with head
quarters in New York, and 700 branches
over the country. A few years ago, in
a sociological congress, one of the lead

work together. This problem the army
is endeavoring to meet to the extent of
its resources.

The liquor question in Norway is at
present attracting a great deal of at
tention in that and other European
countries. A new law in Norway, which
has been consistently enforced, pro-
hibits the sale of liquors from Saturday
at quite an early hour until the fol-
lowing Monday. The liquor men re-
gard this 'as an unwarrantable en-
croachment on their personal liberty"
We have been reading great deal
lately about the overtaXation of Ire

whisky drunk in the United Kingdom.
The London Spectator puts forth a
solution to the problem as to how to
adjust matters, which is that Irish
men agree to boycott whisky altogether.
That will put an end instantly to the
Irish grievance, which is that Ireland
contributes too much to the revenue"

EXPENSES OF OFFICIAL LIFE
Much Higher Than Those of Ordinary
Existence.


There is now before the legislature of
one of the states a bill to reduce the sal
aries of the state officials. One man de-
clares that as the salary of the govern
or is $4,000 a year, and as the actual
work he does amounts to less than two
days in the week, the pay is altogether
out of proportion TO the service per
formed. This is one way of looking at
the subject, but it is an extremely mar
row, unfair and shortsi2hted view of
the case.
The man who is selected for such po-
sitiOn is, or ought II be, chosen because
of his intelligence and ability, and men
Of the class from whom such officials
are selected do not in these days con-
slider $4,000 year very large income.
Very many of them make much more
than this. 1t is by no means uncom-
mon for man to refuse to accept an
office for which he is peculiarly fitted
solely on the ground that he cannot af-
ford to give up his business for the sal
airy attached to the position. This has
occurred great many times within the
past few years. 1t is not altogether
how many days work in a week. or a
month, or year the official performs.
1t is what is expected in other direc-
tlons
When q district sends man to con-
gress or the Legislature, this district
acts as though it had a sort of a chattel
mortgage on the man which it had a
perfect right to foreclose on the INSTALL
ments whenever it saw fit. 1t does
this by demands of various sorts either
III the way of claims on his hospitality,
his time. strength or hard work.
As to the governor of the state. he isex-
peCted to live in rather a luxurious way,
to entertain, to show himself at all the
important functions of the socio-polit-
ical world, and to keep up to the times
generally. Failing to do this, he is "old-
fogyish," behind the times" and mot
fit for the place, anyway
1t is astonishing how readily people
find fault with an established state of
things, and yet how quick they are to
resent any departure from them. A
great deal of the hue and cry against
salaries comes from people who know
very little about the requirements of
the persons who draw them.
Some years ago Il member Of congress
kept an accurate account of his ex-
pendtures for the year. At the end OF
that time he had paid out nearly $500
more than his salary, and most of it had
gone in entertaining the constituents.
If the public wants service performed,
it is under just as much obligation to
pay for the same as is the private indi-
vidual, and failure or reluctance to do
so is as culpable in the one as in the
other.-N. \, Ledger.

THE HAT TRICK.


\ large, GO0d-lO0king and evidently
good-natured man walked into the ex-
change room in the board of trade build
ing the other day and was soon an in
terested, not to say anxious, spectator
Of what IS known on change as the
kat trick"
The large man wore glossy new
derby hat
A member of the exchange walked up
10 him, neatly lifted the hat off his head
and in a moment the newcomer saw
what he supposed was his hat flying
across the room.
1t had been propelled by kick. Sew
eral others made a rush at it and it was
sent hither and thither like a football.
The man looked on in amazement.
Presently the hat came his way and he
seized it. He gave the now dilapidated
headgear a brush or two with his elbow,
looked it over obviously. and then put
il on and started hurriedly for the exit.
Before he could make his escape the
hat was again seized and again became
the center of a rush.
Once more the man got the hat,
clapped it on his head and was rushing
away when he was intercepted by the
man who had originally taken it from
the visitors head.
With great politeness the joker hand
ed over the visitors own hat, as glossy
and perfect as il it had just come from
the hatter's block, and took the old hat
in return.
The visitors surprise increased. He
scrutinized the new hat TWAS certain

laugh He had simply been initiated

FOSSIL MINES.
cfentists Often Buy Stone Fences to
Get Specimens.


The payements of cities are not in
frequently veritable mines of fossils.
Slate flags often contain the visible re-,
mains of marine whelks and ancient
mollusks related to the modern
pearly nautilus, etc. The paleontolo-
glS.walking down Broadway, in New
York city, finds a whole story book of
antiquity in the sidewalk. In northern
New York state the limestone fences are
SO full of fossils as to excite amaze
nlent. 1t is not an uncommon thing for
SCIENTIST in that part of the country to
ouy few rods of stone fence just for
the purpose of knocking it to pieces
and getting ont the fossils, which stand
outln bold relief so as to attract atten-
ton. Among the fossils are many kinds
OF kcorals, numerous species of extinct
mollusks and not few "sea lilies
animals counterfeiting flowers in their
appearance, which lived on the bottom
of thel ocean when New York state was
covered by the sea. The rocks of the
Heidelberg Mountains in Schoharie and
Albany counties, n. Y. are full of queer
crustaceans which were the ancestors of
modern Holsters and crabs. Such cr1s-
taeeans are yielded in large quantities
by the famous cement bodies of Buffalo
From thence is obtained the so-called
erlimestone, which is converted into
cement by simple process of burning
and grinding.
Once upon a time there was n shallow
'k91e in little valley near Pixies Peak.
Col. Ancient streams poured into this
lake, their waters carrying insects
which fell into them. There was
great volcanic eruption in the neigh.
borhood, and great quantities of ashes
and other debris filled up the lake, bury
ing the insects and preserving them in
fossil shape. Thus it happens that the
biologists nowadays dig out the fos-
sill insects with pickax and hammer.
One little hill, which was formerly an
island in the lake, has been found a
mine of these bugs of antiquity. Buried
IN the rocks are mosquitoes and gnats
IN abundance, bees and waSps of many
species, ants of all sorts, saw flies. but.
TEXTILES and moths. OF fossil beetles the
variety is endless. There are ground
beetles, water beetles, June bugs, bills,
ter beetles, snout beetles, with long
noses; also, dragon flies and cock
reaches. ltseems wonderful that things
so fragile, so minute and so easily de.
stroyed should have been preserved in
the rocks for millions of years in such
perfection that the very hairs which
fringe the certain small varieties are
visible to-day beneath the microscope.
From the remarkable deposit described
comes the greater part of the National
museums collection of fossil insects

That this evil is rapidly spreading
in almost every community must be APP
parent to every observant citizen, and
the daily press furnish abundant evil
dence of the deadly effect of the cigar
cite habit.
Rev. Mr.. Kidder, writing in the Ad-
vance, refers to a Wisconsin city of
5000 population in which a recent in
vestigation revealed the fact that
single dealer retailed on an average 300
cigarettes per day, or between l 900 and
1000 by the various dealers of the town.
In Lansing, Mich, Superintendent
Laird and others made a systematic
canvass of the schools, and the habit of
using tobacco was found to have been
formed by many boys. Some of them
had gone so far as to forge their parents
names in order to procure the weed. A
principal in Chicago says the sale of
cigarettes to children has been steadily
increasing, and that she actually dis
covered a boy of II years smoking in her
office, his desire to smoke being so
strong that he ran the risk of indulging
even there.
Many are ruined by this habit, their
lives cut short and their mental and
moral power SO weakened as to render
them unfit for any service. Said
teacher of large experience: "a boy
that has the cigarette habit upon him
can do nothing in the schoolroom. He
must either quit the habit or quit the
school"
Superintendent Laird, of Lansing,
said that he knew an instance where
boys naturally bright had become
stupid and INDECENT to such an extent
they could not keep up in their studies,
and their falling off in mental ability
he believes can be directly traced to
cigarettes, This is the testimony from
Maine to California, and yet measures
against their use in the public schools,
accompanied by vigorous prosecution
of the sellers, are only occasional and
spasmodic.
