AUSTRALIAN SUGAR
Cultivation of Cane Has Come to he
an Important Industry I'm
New South Wales.

The cultivation of sugar cane is
largely carried on in the northern
coastal districts of New South Wales,
where soil and climate are admirably
adapted for that purpose. The gath
cring of the cane is picturesque
scene, but one that has rarely engaged
the pencil of the artist. When the cane
is ready gangs of cane cutters are
found at wark in a great field or pad
lock, studded with innumerable
stumps. The cutting is performed with
a curious knife, with an exceedingly
sharp edge and little hook at the
back. The cutter slashes down a
stool of cane in a few vigorous strokes,
severing the stalks right flush with
the surface Then with the hook on
the back of the knife he picks up a
cane, holds it bottom upward and
with single slash sewers the top. The
bare stalks are thrown in a heap
ready to be carried to the trucks. 1t
is said a gang Of good men can each
cut, top and load about six tons of
cane a day. Every thing depends upon
the condition Of the knife.
The sugar presses are not unlike
concertinas in construction. and at
each bulge or segment there is tap
"a regular regiment of taps-opening
over a little gutter. from which any
juice extracted runs into the sub
slider. The reGidue is a dark. Slightly
moist mass OF material called filter
press muck. which. on account of the
hme it contains in the first place and
of the organic natter is compara-
lively useful fertilizer and source of
soil hnaius. The juice is taken from
the subsider to the eyaporators On the
top floor The juice. or solution. as
II is called. goes into the evaporator
at certain temperature TO an appli.
ance for determining the density or
percentage Of sugar and passes
through a series Of four evaporators.
In each evaporator there is sort Of
window. in which the solution can be
observed boiling furiously. On emerg-
ing from the fourth and last e,apora-
tor the solution has become a fairly
thick sirup. and is passed up into the
vacuum pans. The sugar is removed
to a funnel. through which it passes

LIFRBoAT SERVICE.
some Particulars which show That
the season OF $500 Was Not a
Very Hard One.

The year 1900. like its predecessors,
was an unusually fine one, months
passing without any bad weather from
ifetoat point of view. The few
gales and storms. however, which oc-
currcd at intervals provided the l'fe-
boats aud their crews with consider
able amount Of work What may be
considered as the heaviest gales Of
the year occurred on the 18th of JaI,-
uary. the 30th OF September and the
1st to ed of November. During the
first Of these gales IL of the institu-
tons boats were launched on serv-
ice. resulting in the saving Of 80 lives
and three vessels. in addition to which
three persons were landed from dis
tressed vessels, and several fishing
boats were assisted While the Sep
tember gale was raging. 10 lifeboats
were launched and saved 80 lives, be-
side which valuable assistance was
rendere to three vessels and to fish
ing boats. Some of the lifeboat men
reported that during these two gales
the wind and sea were the heaviest
they had ever experienced.
During the third gale there were 10
launches and two assemblies of crews,
4s persons being saved and nine landed
from perilous positions The long list
Of gallant services by the lifeboats of
The institution resulted in the rescue
cf 404 lives, besides much valuable
property, 10 vessels having been saved
from total or partial loss. III addi-
tion, the lifeboats landed 63 persons,
some CT whom had taken refuge on
light vessels, and others coming ashore
as a precautionary measure, their yes
sels being in danger in stormy
weather.
Great assistance was also given in
very many cases to fishing boats re-
turning from the fleets or fishing
grounds, but unable to make har-
Dor without help from lifeboat, ow-
ing TO the badness of the weather.
During the year the lifeboats were
launched 333 times on service, besides
which the crews were assembled on
67 other occasions, when 1t was
though. that their services might
probably be required. Rewards were
also granted by the institution for the
saving of 1Os lives by shore boats or
other means during the year, bringing
up the total number of lives for the
saving of which the society granted
rewards in 1899 to COZ, and to 41,s35
since 1924. The cost of maintaining
the institutions fleets of 300 lifeboats
in thorough efficiency is increasingly
heavy, and the amount received in an
nual subscriptions and accruing from
assured income is insufficient for the
purpose. Further financial help is
therefore much needed by the institu-
tion.-Glasgow Mail.

When Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) had form

he moved that it be referred to the
committee on foreign relations. With
out word of debate the vote was
taken, thirty-one Senators voting in
favor of reference and eleven against
it. AS the vote disclosed the absence
of quorum, an effort was made to
secure one, but it was unsuccessful and
the Senate adjourned.

vote to refer. While all those who
voted against reference are in favor
of the adoption of the resolution, sew
