Thousands Of Acres Of the Sugar Pro-
ducers VIII Soon Be Ready Tor Use.
The tremendous buildings for the
new beet sugar factory at Alamitos,
about 30 miles from Los Angeles, near
Long Beach, are about completed, and
the placing Of machinery has been com
menccd.
Fully 2,500 acres with a large crop
of beets will be ready for the opening
of work at the factory, which, it is ex-
pected, will be some time within the
first two weeks of July. A radical de.
parture has been made in equipping the
big factory.
In every other beet sugar plant in the
country the machinery has been import
ed from Germany, adding greatly tc
the cost. The stockholders Of this plant,
after careful experimenting and severe
tests, ordered their machinery from an
American firm Of Cleveland and will
bo able as a result to get more sugar
from given quantity Of beets than Car
be had by any other beet sugar factory
in the world.
The new factory, it is expected, will
,xceed that of Chino in its output ant
will take the product Of about 10, 00(
acres of land that has almost entirely
heretofore been uncultivated. - Sal

MOUNTAIN OBSERVATORIES.
Described For the First Time In q New
Book Oh. Astronomy.

Book Oh. Astronomy.
The new book which e. S. Holden,
director Of Lick university, has just is
sued. through the Smithsonian institu-
tion, is the first ever written giving an
accurate idea Of the mountain observ-
atories of the world.
1t describes work done on Ell Neisti
by the Harvard college expedition, at
height Of 10. 200 feet above the level Of
the sea. The meteorological station on
the Sonnbliok, 8, 843 feet above the sea,
is described. 1t tells of the dangers to
which those taking observations OH
Mont Blanc are exposed.
What is transpiring on Mount Hamil-
ton is made known to us. Professor
Holden says that the mountain observa-
tories are descendants of Galilei's tower
of Arcetri. They enable the observers to
mount their telescopes as high as posi-
BILE above the dust atmosphere into one
which is known as steady OF where the
air is not constantly in motion.
Twinkling of the stars is caused by
currents Of our air. Those who inhabit
tho mountain observatories in winter
undergo great hardship. Ell Neisti, one
of the Andes. is 4,S00 feet higher than
Pixies peak. Here the wind always
blows at the rate of 80 miles an hour,
and temperature ranges from SO degrees
above to zero. Chicago Inter Oceaii.

WISDOM OF A CAT.
Left to Die, 1t Takes the First Train For
Home.

hOmes
Trainman William J. Halpin Of the
Delaware and Hudson, who lives in
Saratoga, had occasion to desire the
removal of large maltese cat because
Ii had angered the family by climbing
tree and devouring nest of young
robins.
On recent morning Mr.. Halpin put
lac cat in large sack and boarded his
train for Albany. When the train
reached the Cohoes bridge many ADVISED
the owner of the cat to drop the bag into
the Hudson river, but Mr.. Halpin de-
clared that as the animal was not en-
tirely devoid of good traits it was his
wish to give it chance for life.
Arriving ut Albany at 8:25 a. m,
Mr.. Halpin proceeded to Water street,
and, shaking the imprisoned cat from
the sack, rushed back to the depot. The
train returned to Saratoga at 1880 a.
m. Persons about the depot yard assert
ed that they distinctly heard the new
ing Of cat. A long search was made,
and it resulted in the disclosure Of a
maltese comfortably perched upon the
forward trucks of the baggage car.
When Mr.. Halpin's attention was
called to the cat he identified it and was
dumfounded. as he supposed it to be in
the Capital City. The cat beat Mr.. Hal
pin back, too, for it was farther forward
on the train than himself. The cat will
probably remain in the Halpin family.

BEER AND ATHLETICS.


The effects of beer drinking and vio-
lent exercise, such as bicycle riding,
football and other athletics, on longev-
ity were discussed recently at the an :.
rual meeting of the medical directors
Of the life insurance companies in tho
United States, which was held at the
new offices Of the New York Life In
parance company, in New York.
DR.. Gordon ". Russell of the Etna
introduced the subject of beer drinking
in paper which he read on Selection
of Lives For Insurance. He said that
the consumption of beer was rapidly in
creasing, and that it had an evil infiu-
ence on the human system, making per-
sons addicted to its immoderate use
poor risks for life insurance companies.
DR.. Rogers of the New York Life fol-
lowed the matter up with an interesting
address OH the subject He said:
Recently l had occasion to make
some study Of what happens among per-
sons engaged in the manufacture of beer,
defined generally as brewers. My cases
included not only the workingmen en-
gagged in breweries, but also The propri-
etors and owners Of breweries. It is q
curious fact that the mortality among
the manufacturers is about as high as
among the workinginen, showing that
they are all given to copious libations.
Another curious fact is that the data
that I have been able to secure indicate
that Urtelle's point, that mortality is
high at advanced ages, is well borne
out. The mortality is strikingly low
among brewers in early years. Up to
age 40 or thereabout brewers seem to
be about as good risks as pretty much
anybody else. After age 40 the NOR
tality rises high, and should say that
at age 90 or 60 about three brewt rs
may be expected to die where one aver
age person dies, which means that tL,
observations made by DR.. Bernachi in
his address in 1890 have been borne O t.
by the small amount of data that
have been al le to accumulate"
Under thu subject of "Albuminuri""
DR.. +. @. Young Of the Mutual Ben e
Life Insurarre company said that foot
ball, bicycling and other athletic exo'
cises greatly impaired person as q
risk for life insurance company. 10
said he had observed that after athletes
had been engaged in their sports
presence Of albumen was discovered in
the system, and that albumen was found
in the systems of athletes much more
than in pc-sons unaccustomed to vio-
lent exercise. New York Tribune.

Mr.. CARllSLE'S LEISURE.


It IL Making Him Fat, but He Does Not
Like 1t.
Mr.. John G. Carlisle remains in Wash
ington, despite the recent rumors which
have sent him to New York to practice
law aud back to Kentucky to re-enter
politics. His plans are not known. 1t
is not considered likely, however, that
he will ever hold political office again.
He is enjoying his first release from
official care in 20 years and carries him
self like schoolboy in the first weeks
of vacation. He is not sociable man,
and, while Oh the street good deal,
usually walks alone. The shop windows
catch his eye and the bookstands also.

Paderewski's Profits.

The sum of $4,000, which has been
offered TO Paderewski in London for his
services at a single performance, would
not be by any means an unprecedented
reward for him. He may never before
have received an offer of $5, 900 as an
assured sum, but his concerts in this
country have often realized as much for
him. The first concert given in New
York during his last season brought al
most that sum, and during the same
tour, which lasted about six months, he
earned moro than $500, 900. and his
profits at single concerts were frequent

A new machine, invented by Profess

slice rock to the thickness Of one-fiftieth

means of a series of tin disks with

fine specimen by breaking it with his
hammer, and often the points of greatest
value are not shown upon the surface
of the rock. The beauty Of many va

Among the OperatOrs-BulIet
Issued by President RatchfOrd
Shows Up Well for Miners

Pittsburg, July 15.-This has been day
directed TO hard work on the part of the
joint arbitration commission in their eff
forts to secure true uniformity in this dis
trict as suggested by w. =. Dearmitt, and
all express themselves as well satisfied at
the progress made. The largest operators
in the district, DeaI1nitt and Robbins, have
consented TO head the list and the com
missioners feel satisfied that the other
operators will soou fall in line.
1t is claimed by the miners officials,
however, that the understanding was that
the agreement meant 95 per cent of the
output Of the district, whereas it is now
said to mean % per cent of the operators.
They say il will be absolutely impossible 20
get % per cent of the operators as there
are great many operators mining on a
small scale. President Dolan said that
while he would do all in his power to as
sist the commissioners in securing the
signatures of the others to the agreement
he thought the proposition was scheme
of DR.. Dearmitt's to keep his men at work
and prolong the strike.
Gen. Little of the Ohio arbitration
board. said every obstacle had been re-
moved IN the way Of settlement along
The lines proposed and that he had not
heard of any operators who would not
sign The situation in the district among
he miners remains unchanged.
