A fruit broker very recently dis
covered among his holdings a small
lot of cmed prunes which were dis
figured by the presence Of a white,
flaky substance in the oreases of the
fruit, says the California Fruit Grow
er. A sample was sent to Prof. E. w.
Hilgard of the University of California
in order that it might be determined
what that substance was, and knowing
this. to prevent its further appearance.
Prof. Hilgard addressing the fruit
broker, writes as follows:
have carried on a variety of tests
with the pIunes you sent, since receiv-
ing them. The white substance is
somewhat puzzling, the more so as it
is difficult to obtain enough for
proper chemical test. | have been
trying to determine whether il is para
fine Or kind of wax; and now incline
to the latter idea. This would coin.
eide in measure with your opinion
of its being a kind of bloom the
bloom of fruits being a waxy sub.
stance. The question is how it got
there; it is difficult to conceive that
the natural bloom os the fruit should
crust together in flakes and settle in
special places after having been dis
solved by the lye used in dipping.

think that some accidental impurity

ing but ether or pretty strong lyo will
completely dissolve it. To determine
the chemical character Of the substance
definitely, it would be necessary to
heat large quantity Of the fruit in
water and let the substance rise to the
surface. But l should eat the fruit
fearlessly.

More English Capital.

A dispatch from New York says:
English capital is again looking for an
opportunity to invest in American
copper mines, according to rumors
which are given credence in mining
circles, and an attempt is now being
made to secure the control of two
properties, one located in Arizona and
the other in Montana. At present
those mines are not being worked to
anything like their capacity, but it is
said that if the deal now on foot is sue
cessfully carried out many improve
ments will be made and they will be
entirely Ieorganized.
The mines in question are the Butte
and Boston properties in Montana ard
the Old Dominion copper mines in
Arizona. Both are now controlled by
the same men, A. S. Bigelow of Boston
and Lewisohn Brothers of New York.
They refuse to speak of the rumored
deal, and say they have no knowledge
Of it. In spite of this denial it is gen.
orally believed that the sale will be
completed in a short time.
Mining men say that ever since the
Rothschilds secured an interest in the
Anaconda property, English capital
has been trying to acquire larger
foothold in the American copper mines.
This, they say, is partly due to tho ad
vanced price of copper which has ruled
lately, and to the belief that copper ii
going to be more in demand in th,
next few years than it ever was before
This belief in the future of the cop
per market is based largely ON the be
lief that electricity is going to super
sede many of the present motive pow
ers and means of lighting. With tn,
increase in the use of electricity woult
come increased demand for copper 70,
use in the electrical machinery.

Forest Reservations and Mines.

To preserve the forests is all very
we'll. says Charles g. Yale, but to set
aside immense Government reserya-
tions of the kind in mountain regions
Astounding in mineral which could be
utilized without injuring the forests
is working an injury to the prospectors
and miners of the United States. IL
our nation is to be run OH a gold basis
we want all the gold we can get and
should encourage rather than discour-
age miners to search for and obtain it.
The national forest reservations set
aside by President Uleveland's pro.
clamation of February 22d include all
the central portion of thu Black Hills
of South Dakota, the Big Horn range in
Wyoming, the basin of jackson lake
the Teton mountains south of the Vel
lowstone Park, all the Rocky Noun

north of the Yosemite Park, the San
Jacinto Mountains in Southern Cali
fornia and the Uintah Mountains in
Northern Utah. True. Congress has
given President Mckinley power to
revoke this order. but it may only be
done in part. Throughout the regions
mentioned are known mining districts
and mines, as well as numerous areas
which should be available TO the pros
pectors who are now shut out of them.
There is no reason whatever why min
ing should not be carried ON in these
mountain regions under suitable re-
strictions concerning the timber, or
that the timber could be preserved and
the mining done at the same time.
Under present conditions. however,
the miners have no right on these reser-
vations. Such regions are not avail.
able for agricultural purposes and
would not be sought, but they are just
the places for mines. Congress would

would permit mining and prospecting
to be carried on in all the mountain
ranges of the country, whether in forest
reservations O. not.

Edward White, the well-known
dairyman. has made practical expert
ment in beet-pulp feeding on large
scale and gives it his unqualified en-
dorsement. His experience is thus re-
ported by the Watsonville Pajaronian:
Last August Mr.. White purchased
140 tons of beet.pulp from the Western
Beet Sugar Company and had it hauled
to his dairy in the Calabasas rancho.
He placed the pulp in long building,
built in form like a corn crib, and
firmly braced on the sides. The build
ing was constructed to allow easy
drainage. The 140 tons of pulp were
packed into this structure, and it is
estimated that nearly half tie WEIGHT
(say sixty-five tonsl was lost in the
water which was forced out by the set
ting of the mass. -Four months after
storing, the pulp pile was opened for
feeding uses, and it was found to be a
compact mess, free from odor and
without the taste of potash. Mr..
White stables his COWS at night, and
the pulp is fed to to them at that time
and they clean it up. They take to
it with eagerness. Mr.. White says
that from the same number of COWS he
is making twice as much butter as at
this time last year, when the cows
were we'll fed on other feed. The in.
crease in milk production since his
COWS commenced feeding sliced pulp
has astonished Mr.. White, and he il
firm in the belief that at no distant
time the dairymen and cattle feeders
of the district within radius of 10C
miles of the Watsonville and Salina,
factories will cali for all the pulp the
I factories can offer for sale. Wher
properly handled, the beet-pulp will
prove as rich stock feed here as it hat
been demonstrated to be in Europe
but it must be sliced. Age and fer
mentation improve it. Mr.. White
hauled his pulp about eight miles. HI
estimates that it cost him when ready
for feeding land he figured cost O
hauling, loss by shrinkage, etc.. no
to exceed $1.40 per sliced ton, and hi
is confident that no other feed APP
preaching that price can equal tn,

has been established in the United
States during the past ten years has
been a success. The experiments at
Watsonyille and Chino in this State
have yielded handsome profits, and fac.
tories in Utah and Nebraska have also
proved to be paying investments That
there will be one or more factories
started in this county is almost an as.
sured fact and farmers are already ex-
perimenting with the roots When
they can show the capitalist that sugar
beets can be grown here, the money TO
start the factories will be forthcoming.
The Sugar Beet, a monthly paper
published in Philadelphis, and devoted
to the cultivation and utilization OF
the sugar beet. says in recent issue
that a society known as The American
Sugar Growers Society. has sent
out preliminary documents with the
view to forming branch societies,
which are to send delegates to Ma
tional Convention, the object being to
secure for American farmers, laborers
andAmerican grown sugar; to put into
the pockets of the American people the
800, 00o, 900 now sent abroad annually
for imported sugar-$l, 900. 900 900
every ten years. Without advancing
prices to consumers. an effort will be
made to keep this enormous amount OF
money at home and distribute it among
the farmers and others engaged in Gull
tivating the soil and in operating the
best sugar factories.
In addition to this the orgina ,ation
through it's local and State societies
will encourage farmers to become ex
perts in beet and cane culture. 1t will
also act as medium through which
capitalists and others who wish to star
factories may reach localities that wan
factories, and will in every proper, rea
sonable and legitimate way do all il
its power to promote the best develop
ment of our domestic sugar industry.

COST OF A TRAIN.
Tho Expense ana Profits of Travel on
English Railway Lines.

How many people who travel in trains
ever think of the cost of running them?
1t will probably surprise most people
who have travelled from London to Ed
inburgh to know that every mile of the
journey costs the railway company over
half crown. The cost of the whole
journey from the English to the Scotch
capital is $50
The average cost of running train
in England is 2s. I'd. per mile, so that,
the fare being eckoned at Id. per mile,
train with less than 81 passengers for
each milo is run Mt loss. There are
few trains, however, that do not carry
more than this humber Of passengers,
and many Of them carry the number
doubled iaGny tiiucs over. 1t is neces-
Sary frequently To- run trains that do not
pay-psua o in rhinly Inhabited coun
try diSiricts-but for every train run al
II loss probably 100 are run at an enor-
nicuF proht.
Take, for instance, the journey from
London to Edinburgh, which costs the
railway company $50, The average
number Of through" passengers in
these trains is probably go, in which
case the total fares would be nearly
fl00-a clear gain of nearly $50. When
it is remembered that these trains run
several times day, and every day in
the year, it will lie understood what an
enormous revenue single line yields in
the course of l2 months. Surprising the
average number Of passengers to be go,
tho midnight train from London to Ed
inhargh yields over geo, 900 for divi-
deud in a year
The longest railway journey in the
United Kingdom would probably be
from Penzance, in Cornwall. to Thurso,
in the north CT Scotland, distance Of
over 1000 miles. A train running be-
tween these two places would exhaust
an ordinary clerks salary for a whole
year, the cost being no less than e13S.

White Opposed to Hawaiian Reciprocity
and will Work Against 1t.
Washington. - Communications re.
ferring to the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty are being received by Senator
Perkins almost daily. showing the in.
terest felt on both sides of the question
in California. Many business houses
and commercial bodies have urged the
delegation to work for the retention of
the clause in the Dingley bill which
continues the sugar provision in force.
The invariable answer to these mes
sages is that while there is growing
sentiment that sugar trusts get the most
benefit from the treaty, it is hardly
likely it can be defeated this season.
Senator White assured some of his
colleagues before leaving for home
that he was opposed to Hawaiian reci-
procity and would use all his efforts to
defeat it. Joining with him are the
Louisiana Senators, who are actively
at work.

The opponents of the Hawaiian treaty
claim that Aldrich and Allison are
with them, but neither will discuss the
question now. They, with Wolcott
and Platt of Connecticut, are doing
most of Ghe work in revision. Jones of
Nevada has done several days work
with the committee. He has an in

is chance that borax, hides, lead and
paints may be better protected.
