The majority of the high dignitaries

for out Of the $50 dioceses in the entire

Light from the Loaf Sugar.

A phenomenon, the cause of which
has not yet been satisfactorily ex-
planned, was described at a recent
meeting of scientists. Disks of loaf
sugar were mounted on a lathe and
rapidly rotated while hammer
played lightly against them. An al
most continuous radiation of light was
thus produced from the sugar. It was
shown that the light did not arise from
heating of the sugar, and it is believed
to be caused by some change taking
place in the sugar crystals. The act Of
cyrstallization is known to be some
times accompanied by flashes of light.
The practical bearing of these expert
ments is on the question of possibility
of obtaining artificial light by methods
as yet untried.

A Michigan exchange says that pre-
parations are on foot to introduce into
that state q scheme that has been very
profitable to those who have been en-
gagged in it in Canada for some three
years past, but very disastrous to the
farmers there. It consists of the publi-
cation of so-called Farm For Sale
Journal" which is to be devoted
to descriptions of farms for sale
as its title indicates. The state is
to be canvassed by agents, who first
use arguments to induce the farmer to
offer his farm for sale, and next, by
glowing representations about the
pictures and descriptions that are to be
published in the journal, and of the
vast circulation it is to have among
farm buyers, they lead the farmer to
sign very shrewdly worded contract
to pay to the order Of these parties q
sum of from 800 to $500, depending
on the price put on the farm. Osten-
sibly the payments to be made only
when the farm is sold, but the supposed
contract eventually turns up In the form
of promissory note for the amount
and is said to be so worded that it can be
filed the recorders office of the county
where the land lies in such way as to
make 1t q lien on the farm. The pro.
moters Of the scheme are not interested
in making q sale at all, and don't care
whether one is made or not. The pay.
ment that is to be made to them doet
not depend upon sale being made
although the farmer is induced to be-
lieve that it does. 1t is very cunning
scheme, designed to get something fol
nothing, and 1t is said that q state like
Michigan, well worked, will net the pro
moters Oft at least 100000. Wher
