to Governor Roosevelt to remove Mayor
Van Wyck for his ownership Of Ice

"The governor has the power to do
10 if the mayor is guilty. but all men
must be considered innocent until they
are convicted of wrong.doing."
"What do you consider as guilt?" he
was asked.
"Well, in case tho mayor used his of.
fee to get possession Of the shares of
stock, or to increase the price of ice;
that would be, if proven, cause for his
removal" was the reply.
Upon matters pertaining to the ma
tional campaign, MIR. Croker said that

YOUR PROPER WEIGHT.
How the Normal Mans Avolrdupois
Should Be Distributed.

Prof. Huxley gave the following ia
BILE of what full-grown man should
weigh, and how his weight should be
divided: Weight, 154 pounds, made up
thus: Muscles and their appurtenances,
GO pounds; skeleton, "a pounds; skin,
101@ pounds; fat, % pounds; brain, 3
pounds; thoracic viscera, 3h pounds;
abdominal viscera, IL pounds; blood
which would drain from body, z
pounds. This man ought to consume
per diem: Lean beefsteak, 5000 grains;
bread, 5000 grains; milk, 1000 grains;
potatoes, 5000 grains; butter, 600
grains; water, 22,s00 grains. His heart
should beat Is times a minute, and he
should breathe Is times minute. In
"a hours he would vitiate 1850 cubic
feet of pure air to the extent of l per
cent; a man, therefore, of the weight
mentioned ought to have 800 cubic feet
of well ventilated space. He would
throw off by the skin is ounces of
water, 300 grains of solid matter, and
400 grains of carbonic acid every "a
hours, and his total loss during the "a
hours would he six pounds of water,
and little over two pounds of other
matter.

BEET AND CANE PRODUCTION
More of the Former Is Manufactured
Than of the. Other Variety.

More OF the Former Is Manufactured
Than of the Other Variety.
From the Philadelphia Record: TIE
worlds production of sugar for the
year now ended has reached tle
enormous total of S,414,OOO tons. The
| production of this staple commodity
has increased three and one-fourtl
times since 1872, when the output was
only 2,619,000 tons. The average price
per pound, however, has declined coz
siderably more than one-half during
the same period, or from 5.37 cents In
the earlier year to 2.S9 cents for the
year 1S98-the average for the current
year not yet being ascertainable. Beet
sugar production slightly surpassed
that of cane sugar for the first time in
1883. when 2,147C0O tons of the former
were produced, as against 100000
tons of the latter, Notwithstanding
the growing cheapness of the commod-
ity and the European bounty system
for beet sugar, the quantity of cane
sugar produced continued to increase
from year to year until 1895, when it
amounted to 3,530,OOO tons. The de-
struction of the Cuban plantations ac-
counts for the fact that the output of
cane sugar has declined until the
quantity manufactured during the cur
rent year amounted to only 100000
tons, as compared with $4,000 tons
of beet sugar. 1t is not likely that the
limit of the worlds demand for sugar
has even nearly been reached, and
with the Introduction Of improved
methods the West Indian cane grow
ers should be able to meet and over
come the competition of the European
beet farmers. 1t is not in the nature
of things that an essentially tropical
product should be permanently dis
placed by substitute grown in the
lighter soil and under the less fervid
rays of the sun of the temperate zone

Points of Construction Which Make

The National Sculpture society has
been giving the citizens committee in

plan to recreate the Dewey arch" in
marble and bronze, as naval arch
OF triumph, some reasons why mini
mum estimate of s1,OOO,OOO is fixed as
the cost Of the work, says the Buffalo
Commercial. The society, through its
secretary, calls attention to the fact
that the mass and Importance of the
sculpture involved exceeds that on any
similar monument of modern times.
There are almost eighty statues or fig
ures of colossal scale, the greater num-
Der of which at least are double life
size, and many of them still larger, be-
sides the historical portrait medallions
and other sculpture enrichment-all in
addition to the architectural details.
1.-The heroic scale of architecture; the
| size of the columns and capitals, of
each of which there are forty; the di
mansions of the monoliths necessary
for bases and pier groups; the mas
sive foundations required, all involve
expense, for the calculation of which
there is no precedent in any similar
monument It is believed that fur
Their inquiry will show, when all the
details are. taken into consideration,
that the estimate of s1,0O0,OOO is fair,
though conservative. This is the larg-
est sum ever called for by public SUBJ
scription for such purpose. But the
committee is by no means dismayed.
On the other hand, it is confident OF
success.
