still hope that good deal OF exagger-

Now that the Rubicon between the
,eet and cane sugar refineries has
aeu crossed, II Is of interest to note,
avs the New York Commercial, that
Ebere are about forty beet sugar refin.
nc companies In the United States,
oested in twenty-five different states,
These factories are in operation only
three or four months during the year,
while the cane sugar refineries are
seldom idle except for repairs.
The American Beet Sugar Compa.
nr's plants have a capacity Of about
sn GOO, 900 pounds annually, but this
|bas been exercised only up to 10000
no pounds per annum. The Spreck-
es refinery alone-the Pacific coast
members OF the American Sugar Re
Inning Company-has u capacity ex-
Feeding 5OO,OOO,OO0 pounds.
When 1t Is considered that the con.
sumption of sugar in the United States
will be upward of 100000 tons this
wear. and that we have the worlds
nroduction of 0,5OOOOO tons to draw
IRON, the present beet sugar industry
In the United States sinks to relative
insicnifcance. The production Of beet
sugar in Europe is estimated this year
at 6.O5O,OOO tons.
This year the natural sources of sup
ply of raw cane sugar for the United
states Will be, In round numbers, ap-
|proximately as follows: From Louis
Llama, 100000 tons; Porto Rico, 100000
ions; Hawaii, 100000 tons; Cuba, 60
roo tons; Philippine islands, $4,000 tons:
lava, other West India islands and
Central America, JOO,OOO tons, q total
/ OF 100000 tons. OF beet sugar our
own states will furnish about 100000
IONS, making balance of 100000 tons
to be drawn from Europe.
From this it will be seen that there
lis great opportunity for pushing the
beet sugar industry In the United
States, but 1t will be from twenty to
thirty years, probably, before domestic
producers can hope TO turn out sutfi-
cient sugar to meet home require
uents.

...ABOUT...
sun RINGS

In regard to the halo around the sun
which created much excitement
throughout the eastern section of th,s
country. Mr.. Justice Stain. secretary
OF the astronomical section Of the
maryland Academy of Science. SAYS:
very often. when the heavens are
overcast by slight, or light, feecy
CLOUDS. we observe colored rings about
'he moon and the sun. They are term
ea halos. or aureoles. l have never
observed halo about the sun In the
latitude Of Baltimore, but halos about
tne moon are quite frequent. One OF
the most brilliant that have OBJ
served In Baltimore occurred some
ume In the beginning Of 1901. Very Of
ten the halos do not form complete
circle, but are visible only In sections.
fropaply the reason we do not notice
the halo about the sun Is on account
OF its intense brilliancy. and that we
40 not look at 1t directly. The best
way to observe halos is to observe tn.
renection OF the sun in a black mirror.
plack glass or glass smoked on one
side. In meteorology the halos are
divided into two classes-the corona.
which is of small diameter. and the
halo. which Is OF a greater extent. In
the corona the color of the inner part
OF the ring is blue. and the outer red.
In the large halo the red is on the in
side and the blue outside. The corona
is classed as different phenomena
that is. the light from the sun or moon
In encountering the small particles In
the cloud or which form the cloud Is
broken up. scattered or diffracted, like
the graftings that Prof. Rawland ruled
at the Johns Hopkins university. Dill
fracted light may be of two kinds. It
may pass through fine material and be
attracted like in transmission graf
Ing. or it may be broken up by encoun
tering the fine particles and being re-
fected We never have a diffraction
caused by reflection of the light from
the small particles in the cloud. The
halo is supposed to % due both to diff
fraction and reflection. When light is
diffracted 1t passes through medium

viously impossible for either builders
or gun makers to anticipate an Incl
dent OF this sort. Probably we should
say. the lmplacable trouble is on all
fours with that of the Shikisima. The
Glory started for China with defect

ascertain. was the direct result Of
rushing things. parts destined for va
rious other ships being crowded into

1t would be interesting to learn wheth-
er any Peters were robbed to pay the
Implacable Paul. In any case. how
ever bad as the accident may be. there
is no reason for the shrek that
a certain class OF people love to raise
directly anything goes wrong. Any
number OF foreign ships meet similar
or somewhat similar accidents. The
foreigners. however. are never in a
hurry to advertise the fact.-London

Treatment Of skia DIssases by Use -
DIR. william Allen Pusey. In an ad-
dress delivered before the American
Dermatological Association. recently
published In the Journal Of the Amed-
can Medical Association. discusses he
use Of Roentsen rays In the treatment
OF skin diseases. After enumerAting
number of diseases OF this character
where he thinks these rays might be
used benehcially, he refers more Bpeci-
fically to the removal Of the super
fiuous hairs from the face. regarding
which he says: THE effect Of the rays

cases that he had treated two were

tory. He thinks that as sebaceous
and sweat glands are similarly though
in a less degree than the hair follicles
affected by X-rays that II will be pos
sible to use them effectually In the
treatment of disorders OF these glands.
Regarding the factors in the rays that
produce these effects he Is of the opin-
ion that they appertain TO the rays
themselves and not to an incident OF
their production like ozone. or In
duced electrical currents In the tissues.
or particles of platinum carried on
from the anticathodes. He bases this
conclusion upon the fact that the
lesser degree of X-ray burns resemble
those Of sunburn more closely than
any other pathological process. and a.
this is due to the actinic rays of sum
light thinks there is no valid reason
for not believing that the effects OF
the X-rays on the tissues are due to
the actinic rays Of x-rays. This Is
further substantiated by the known
fact that X-rays are strikingly similar
in their actinic properties to the rays
