Molasses Going Out.

"The old fashioned molasses is rapidly
disappearing AS an article OF commerce,
said prominent grocer, land in its
place have come a number OF sirups,
which are more costly and by no means
as satisfactory, especially to the little
ones, who delight, as we did when we
were young, in having 'lasses on their
bread Most of the molasses goes into
the distilleries, where ii is made into
rum, for which. Notwithstanding the
efforts of our temperance workers, the
demand is constantly on the increase,
especially in the New England states
and for the export trade. The regular
drinker of rum will take no other liquor
in its place if he can help it. 1t seems
to reach the spot more directly than any
other dram. The dark brown sugars
have also disappeared, and they are
never likely to return, owing to the
methods of boiling and the manufacture.
Granulated sugar is of the same compo-
sition, as far as saccharine qualities are
concerned, as loaf, cut loaf, cube and
crushed and differs from them only in
that its crystals do not cohere. This is
because it is constantly stirred during
the process of capitalization. The lighter
brown sugars taste sweeter than the
| white, for the reason that there Is some
molasses in them.
"Housekeepers have difficulty these
| days in finding coarse, dark sugars,
which are always preferred for use in
putting up sweet pickles. making cakes
| and similar uses. AS they cannot get
brown sugar any more it may be we'll
for them to remember that they can
simulate brown sugar by adding tea
spoonful of molasses to each quarter OF
pound Of the white granulate sugar.
This combination does as well in all
household recipes that call for brown
sugar as the article itself, and. besides.
it saves them great deal Of hunting for
brown sugar, which, as said before, has
disappeared from the market. Wash

TRYING TO GET EVEN.
Clock and Watch Makers Get Into the
Bicycle Trade.

Clock and watch makers who found
their regular business falling off on ac-
count OF the bicycle craze are now max.
ing up for il in the manufacture and
sale of cyclometers. Competition is ex-
ceedingly lively among the rival max
ers. to the great benefit of the rider.
Three or four years ago there were
only few makes of cyclometers, and
they We're very heavy and costly Now
cyclometers are made as small as a sill
yer quarter, weigh almost nothing and
can be purchased at trifing cost.
Many dealers add cyclometer to the
equipment of the bicycle as an induce
ment to the purchaser, and as result
bicycles without cyclometers are the ex-
ception.
Cycling has brought many blessings
in its train, and one of the greatest Of
these is the neat little register which
records accurately the distance traversed
by the cyclist. 1t is practically 10, 900
mile tapeline in compact and conven-
lent form. IL is great satisfaction for
the rider to see the miles roll up on the
dial as he spins along. The present cy-
clometers are very simple in construc-
ton, and as rule perform their duty
without error, but too much must not
be expected of what is merely me-
chanical contrivance. A rider can hardly
expect his cyclometer to measure the
distance between two points accurately
if he wabbles from one side of the road
to the other In this way beginners
cyclometer might record a mile while
he has been pursuing his sinuous course
for only half that distance.
Cyclometers are made for wheels of a
given diameter, and if 26 inch cyclom-
eter be fitted to 20 inch wheel the
figures will not be accurate enough to
be valuable. For the same reason If the
front tire be soft an appreciable error
in the measurement will occur, because
of the lessened diameter of the bicycle
wheel. If the tire sinks in quarter OF
an inch under the weight Of the rider,
the error in mile ride would amount
to IA yards. Thus the accuracy Of cy-
clometer measurement varies percepti'
bly,, according to the hardness OF the
tire However, the average bicycle rider
is not an engineer or surveyor. and the
popularity of the cyclometer is in nc
way endangered because Of this slight
variation from the truth, failing te
which the cyclometer is often driven by
the scorcher eager for huge mileage
record.
So long as the variation is ON the cy
clist's side the cyclometer's future II
safe. At any rate, the demand for thu
device is lively, and the makers are re
trenching their losses incurred by thu
encroachment Of the bicycle upon TIT
watch trade - New Orleans Times

Thu Appellats Courts.

Appellate courts can know nothing OF
the real trial as it did occur, yet they
are not deferred from granting new
trials and practically cooperating with
upscrupulous attorneys for the escape OF
men guilty of the most wicked murders.
Appellate courts too frequently seem to
think that superior knowledge OF the
law is shown not by affirming the &C.
ton OF the trial court, but by standing
in antagonism to it and by oiticising
its action.
1t is like the case Of the bold, open
critic, who frequently gets credit for So
perim knowledge by the audacity OF
his criticism, when. in fact, he knows
nothing Of tho subject Appellate courts
are very often made up Of men wanting
in knowledge OF the most elementary
principles Of the criminal law, for they
have never either studied or practiced
1t. With this want OF knowledge Of the
very law they are seeking to administer,
they try the eass not ON its merits. to
determine The guilt or Innocence Cd the
man, but they Try it by some technical
rule which has really 10 relation TO ths
guilt or innocence Of the aooussA. -

DUSTY BY ACTUAL COUNT.
4 Scientist Has Numbered the Dust Par
tfcles In the Very Purest Air.

II has always been believed that there
could be no dust in the air of midocean.
or upon mountain peaks thousands OF
feet above the sea level where the
SHOWS are eternal. But science has re.
Gently demonstrated that such is not the
case. 1t has even gone farther than
finding dust in these places. II has
counted, with the utmost accuracy. the
number OF PARTICLES in a cubic cent?
meter.
Dust measurements were made from
air over the open ocean and in noun
tain regions at attitudes from {, 1000 feet
to more than Is, 600 feet. On the Bles-
horn, in Switzerland, which forms part
of the Alpine chain, containing the
Rothhorn and Weisshorn, rising about
5000 feet above the Zermatt valley on
the east, and some 5000 feet from that
of Ziani on the west, the observations
showed that at an elevation of 6, 700
feet there were $50 dust particles in a
cubic centimeter, which measures lit
tie over one-third Of an inch. AT s, 400
feet elevation only 513 dust particles
were found, and at 1860 feet above
the sea the number diminished to 1877
per cubic centimeter.
Over the Indian ocean the average
number of dust particles in cubic CEN
timeter was less than 500 for seven out
OF nine days, and on five days was less
than 400. During thick fog in the At
lantic the air was found to contain 3.l20
dust particles per cubic centimeter,
while in the clear region just beyond
the fog there were only $50 dust parti-
Giles in the same space.
Probably even few men Of science
would be able to tell how these parti
cles could be counted, but wonderful
| little instrument has been devised which
makes the task an easy one. The dust
counter which Mr.. Fridlander employs
contains chamber into which air car
be introduced saturated with water va
por Then it is slightly and quickly cool
ed. Owing to the fall of temperature
condensation of vapor takes place on thu
dust nuclei, which then fall on to mi
crometer plate at the bottom Of thu
chamber, where they are rendered east
ly visible for counting by the water lay
err which coats them. York Jour
