Honest Book BORROWERS.

After several experiments the man.
ayers of the public library in San
Francisco believe that the book.read-
ing public can be trusted, and they
have already extended library priv
ileges. Ten thousand volumes of the
most popular works of all classes, in
tended for general circulation, have
been opened to the unrestricted &C.
cess Of the public. The books may
be taken from the shelves to the read
ing tables or may be taken home, the
patrons being trusted to get their
books charged at the desk. The pre-
ceding experiments were interesting.
Two and half years ago 5000
juvenile books were segregated and
the children were allowed to make
selections direct from the shelves. In
twenty-one months, with circulation
of 11S,000 Juveniles, only thirty-siz
volumes were lost. Then the $4,000
volumes in the five branches were
opened to shelf access, and there were
no books reported missing, The
shelves in the reference and periodical
rooms were opened 10 periodical read
ers, and then as an experiment 500
books for general circulation were
placed in the reference room, where
they could be looked over and none
disappeared. Last year 81, 800 vol
umes were circulated aud only thirty.
one were lost from all causes.-St.

At Binghamton, Broome County, N.
Y, is located a factory which manu-
features each day during the working
season from twelve to sixteen tons of
pure granulated sugar. The popular
notion usually associates sugar with
sugar cane and with tropical climates.
But this popular notion must change,
for the sugar supply of the world will
soon be manufactured from the beet.
Two factories are now in operation in
New York State, one at Binghamton
and one at Rome. A large sugar fac
tory is also located at Bay City, Mich.
Other factories are being planned in
New York and Michigan, and it will
be but SHORT time before this indus
try of the manufacture of sugar from
beets will come into wide prominence.
So important is the industry likely to
become that q description of the Bing-
hamton factory and the methods of
extracting the sugar from the beets
will prove of interest.
The factory is located some three
miles from the city of Binghamton on
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad. The main building is a
substantial brick structure, and the
storage room for the beets is partially
provided for by four mammoth sheds,
each 460 feet long, sixteen feet wide,
and twelve feet high. It was thought
that these sheds would furnish suf-
fcient storage room for the beets, but,
from the photograph, it will be seen
that many carloads have been dumped
upon the ground; indeed, there are
apparently more upon the ground than
in the sheds, and they ore being re.
ceived from the farmers at the rate OF
100 carloads each day. In the spring
of 1898 some 1000 acres of beets were
contracted for; the farmers agreeing
to raise the beets aad the company
agreeing to pay S. per ton for the
same.
Upon the arrival at the factory the
beets are unloa led from the cars into
the sheds or upon the ground in the
yard. Underneath each shed, and
running its entire length, is sluice-
way through which runs water which
has been heated to the boiling point
in the factory. The beets are rolled
into this sluiceway and the current is
sufficient to carry them to the factory.
The warm water so soaks and loosens
the dirt that it is easily removed when
the beets get to the washing machine.
When the beets are unloaded into the

A Fixed Habit.

"That Miss Blimber, to whom you
just introduced me, seems to have
some funny ways" "Yes, she has"
"a moment ago I saw her holding
young Spriggins's hand, and her lips
were moving as if she were counting
something" eyes, I noticed that.
"a moment later she put her hand to
old Mr.. Rogers's forehead and then
gave it two or three gentle taps"
"Yes, T saw that, too" "And right
after that saw her backing little
Willie Jones up in the corner, and he
was sticking out his tongue at her.
What in the world Is the matter with
the girl?" tits easily explained.
She was an amateur hospital nurse,

habit. "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

sheds the hand work upon them is
completed, and from that time they
are carried forward by water or by
machinery. As they near the end of
the sluiceway they are seized by a
screw elevator and raised to the fac
tory, where the first operation is the
washing. They are dumped into large
tanks where revolving arms attached
to horizontal axis thoroughly churn
them around and constantly work
them forward toward the clean water.
They pass from the first washing tank
into second one, and here the pro-
cess is repeated and tho beets are
thoroughly cleaned. From the wash
ing tanks they go to the bucket
elevators and are carried to the top of
the building. The next operation
(pulping the beets) is done by sys-
tenn of knives or scoops fastened to a
horizontal wheel. The knives have
scalloped edges and are situated at
the bottom of large hopper. As the
beets come down upon these rapidly
revolving knives they are literally cut
into shreds or pulp. This pulp is put
into what is called the diffusion bat
terry" This battery is really sys-
tenn of great tanks so connected that
the water can pass from one to the
other. The water is put in upon the
beet pulp and the sugar is soaked
out, the water being passed from one
tank to another until it has become
saturated. when it is drawn off. The
fresh water is always put in upon the
pulp, which is most nearly ex-
hausted of its sugar content.
The waste pulp is carted out

Juice goes to what is called the "triple
effect vacuum pans" These pans are
simply large upright boilers which
have had the air partially exhausted
by means of pumps. The liquid boils
violently in them at temperature of
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, and the
"boiling down" is greatly hastened.
From the first boiling the juice goes
to the sulphuration tanks, where it is
again bleached. After passing again
through the filter presses, all traces Of
sulphur and other impurities are re.
moved. The "boiling down" is then
completed in vacuum pans. The next
operation is performed by the centri-
fugals. In these rapidly revolving.
cylinders the molasses is thrown OF
from the particles of sugar. The prin-
ciple is the same rs in the common
milk separator, where the cream is
thrown out from the milk. The sugar
is very damp after being separated
from the molasses, and is dried by be-
ing passed through a long. slowly re-
volving cylinder. This cylinder is
raised at one end and the sugar is
slowly moved along, passing over
heated steam pipes until finally it
comes out of the other end of the
cylinder as crystalized sugar.
The most troublesome product to
handle is the molasses, which is sepa-
rated from the sugar by the centri-
fugals. It is stored in large tanks in q
room heated to atemperature OF about
lis degrees Fahrenheit. After remain
ing there for three weeks, it becomes
partially crystallized and is then taken
out and run through the mill again,
and portion of the sugar is extracted.
It is believed that American inventive
genius will devise machinery by which
this molasses can all be treated OF
once without the necessity of storing,
and the sugar all removed. Indeed,
it is said that the factory at Bay City,
Mich, is so equipped that all the
sugar is extracted within twenty-four
hours.
Not all the sugar contained in the
beets can be extracted. From a ton
of beets analyzing fifteen per cent.
sugar, about $50 pounds of sugar can
be secured. The Importance of high
grade beets is very great, and the diff
ference between beets containing
twelve per cent. sugar and beets con-
tanning fifteen per cent. sugar may
mean the difference between profit and
loss. To illustrate this point, the
Binghamton factory has capacity OF
800 tons of beets per day, and the
working season consists Of about 100
days. If the 10000 tons Of beets used
contain fifteen per cent. sugar, the
output will be about $500, 900 pounds
of sugar. If the beets contain only
twelve per cent. sugar, the product
will be only some 100000 pounds.
This difference of 2,100, 900 pounds OF

ties which it has absorbed. After
passing through various mixing tanks,
the juice passes to the filter presses.
Here the juice is forced through cloth
and comes out almost as clear as wa
ter. After passing through two sets
of these filter presses, the juice goes
to the bleaching process. This is
done by means of fumes of sulphur.
The juice is made to drip slowly over
a board filed with holes, and the sui
phur dloxide is brought into intimate
contact with every drop. All of these
processes are preliminary to the

She struck at the animal when it
sprang at her. A fierce battle en-
sued, lasting fully half hour, during
which the aged lady was terribly
lacerated about the face, hands and

house, where neighbors discovered her
the next morning. Near the chicken
