The Use Of Sugar.

That all the world has a sweet tooth
is eseGant from the fact that the aver
age yearly sugar crop is about 5000 900
tons. 1t will strike the uninitiated as
a somewhat curious fact that consider.
ably r.ore than half Of this amount
is made from beets. Three and a half
million tons come from sugar cane
grown in the West Indies and the L.
land Of Java. Germany leads in the
product of beet sugar, producing about
one-third OF the amount furnished
Austria, France. Russia, Belgium and
Holland follow in close successful. Tha
growth of the beet-sugar industry In
the United States has been very rand
since the Mckinley bill became a law
in 1890. In 1889 America produced
$500 tons Of beet sugar. In 1892. 10
600 tons were made; in 1896 over 20 900
tons were made. Last year 10000 tons
were the product, and. as matters Iook
just now, this years crop will show !.
much larger amount. The remarkable
increase in the consumption OF sugar
among nations and classes Of peonIs
and its relation to mental and pFyslcaI
qualities ia a subject upon which sclen-
tific men are specializing, and the 70.
suits OF their researches show sono
most curious facts.
