Beet Sugar Manufactured in
Arizona.
First Factory in the Territory
Will be at Phoenix.
Soil of Arizona Peculiarly Adapted
to Sugar Beet Culture.

Tue first beetsugar factory to be establish
ed in Arz ma is to be placed at Ph@nix,
aud the initial attempt made at beet culture
in the extreme S9uth vest. Plans have been
completed to secure at l.000-ton factory
and refinery to be built here by New York
capitalists, who are interested with the Ok
nard Company, which cont.o's a half-dozen
plants in California, orai0, New Mexi.
co, and Utah.
The people of this valley have subscribed
a bonus of 1000 acres, required by the pro.
mOters Of the plant, aud work will beigu in
short time, on the factory, which is to
be located northwest Of the city. Tue Ca
pacity of the plant will be increased as
rapidly as the area under cultivation is in--
creased.
Tests made at the Government Experi
mental Station, near Picnic, have proved
that the soil of Arizona, and particularly Of
the Salt River Valley, is peculiarly adap
ted to sugar-beet culture. Beets in this
soil average from ten to fifteen tons per acre
and the pro1uct carries from IL TO Is pei
cent sugar -Four dollars per ton is the
usual price Tor a standard beet which con
tainS II per cent. of sugar, and an additiO
nal fifty cents per ton is paid for each ad
ditional one half pe- cent. OF sugar in c
beet. The Arizona beet-raiser can therefore
be assured Of from $40 to 800 per acre
Sugar beets require less water than alfalfa;
and at returns which are nearly double the
profits, per acre, from alfalfa, it Is very
probable that tic beet will eventually
become the standard crop in this valley,
and which has been known as the richest
alfalfa land in the world.
Ten thousand acres will Je planted in
beets, at the outset Enough b6ets can he
raised in this valley lone to supply half
dozen factories of 1000 tons capacity each

An extraordinary case has just been

CATION has been thrown into state OF
disturbance by the conduct OF one indi-
vidual who appears to have been en-
dowed by nature with more than the
ordinary share of voice. So loudly
does he sing that the congregation
have threatened 10 give up their seats
unless he can be persuaded TO lower
his voice On being written to on the
matter this gifted gentleman took UNI
bragg at the interference with his lib
erty and replied. Il shall sing as soft
as 1 like, shall sing as loud as 7
like and when like. At last, after
TRYING expostulation IN various forms.
the vicar and the church wardens have
decided that they can no longer sub
NIT TO the annoyance. Legal proceed
ings have been begun and the case
should be an Interesting one, especial
Il if the defendant is requested to sing

A newspaper correspondent tele-
graphs from New York that next spring
some small passenger steamers will
begin to ply between that city and Ny
ack g at the rate of thirty-four knots,
or forty-two miles, an hour" This in
vites the remark for one thing, that
thirty-four knots are about equal to
thirty-nine miles, not forty-two. It also
invites the remark that, while 1t has
been demonstrated that vessels can be
driven through the water at the rate
of thirty-nine miles an hour and even
at higher speed than that, it has also
been demonstrated that passengers find
rushing through the water at such a
rate too much like shooting dangerous
rapids to be entirely agreeable For
certain kinds of service boats running
forty miles an hour or more are ex-
ceedingly useful, but hardly for regu-
lar passenger service.

comes this by suspending both
carbons in an oblique position
from the top of the lamp,
as illustrated. It is understood
that the light in an arc lamp is
produced by the passage of the electric
current between the slightly separated
points of the carbons, and to main
tain these points in proper relation
the inventor has provided a clamping
mechanism actuated by the expansion
and contraction of the central rod Of
the governor. The first action as the
rod expands is the clamping of the
carbon pencils to prevent further
downward movement, and the second
is the spreading of the points until the
arc is formed between them. AS soon
as the points are consumed partially
the rod is again drawn upward, allow
ing the points of the carbons to fall
together once more, which feed is as
sisted by the coiled springs attached
at the upper ends of the carbons.

Prof. Moore and f6e Hail
N6oofzrr

Professr Willis L Moore, chief OF
the weather bureau, appears to be
somewhat irritated because American
horticulturists. as a result of the re-
ports submitted by our consul at
Lyons, are asking why this govern
ment does not adopt the French
method of cannon-hring for the pro-
lection of orchards from hail and
frost
In a statement which he issues as a
reply to the numerous inquiries re-
ceived concerning the matter. Pro
fessor Moore says the idea that the at
Inosphere can be bombarded into sub
mission to mans demands in this d1-
rection is a popular delusion las re-
markable as is the belief in the effect
of the moon on the weather" adding
that the uneducated peasantry OF
Europe seem to be looking for some
thing miraculous. They would
rather" he says, believe in cannon
aiding as a means Of protection, and
spend on it abundance of money, time
and labor, than adopt the very simple
expedient of mutual insurance against
losses that must inevitably occur

expensive or complicated about the
cleaner, which consists of pair Of
brushes and sufficient spring wire to
support them with their faces toward
each other and elevated at the proper
height from the step. The wire is bent
to afford a base, which is secured to
the step by double-pOinted lacks, and
screws are inserted through the eyelets
at the ends of the wires and screwed
into the backs of the brushes. When
the foot is inserted between the clean
ers the wire allows them to spring
outward until the shoe will pass
through the bristles. By kicking the
foot through once or twice the edges
of the shoe will be wiped clean.

There is a new revelation of faith

prophet of occult influences. He brings
a gospel for the lazy. He has a new
plan of physical culture. He calls it
mental gymnastics" He exercises
his subjects by telepathy, or sugges-
ton. He says: They don't have to
exercise at all-simply to think-and
by the power OF my mind I can de-
velop their muscles. l follow the
same plan with women as with men.
Nothing could be more simple. Ample
physical exercise can be taken by sim
ply thinking that you are walking a

turning double somersaults. All that
you have to do is to think the pro-
professor Of mental gymnastics does
the rest. 1t is a big thing.
