A LOFTY BALLOON ASCENT.

six and a quarter miles Then they
lost consciousness. no that. although
they descended safely. they have no
record to show what the maximum
height attained may have been. The

their thermometer was 40 degrees Cen

Value of Antiseptics--An Invention

ANTIsEpTICs.

ANTI6EPT1CS.
One aim of the surgeon Of modern
times is to eliminate from wounds all
traces of dirt and Of germs. The
growth OF germs produces dirt" of the
most harmful nature, since the ab-
sorption of the materials thrown of in
the course of their growth occasions
symptoms resembling acute poisoning.
The words antiseptic and antisepsis
are almost synonymous with words Of
old-time virtue--namely. clean and
cleanliness. A perfectly clean wound
heals rapidly and without the dis
charge of fluids.
In order to secure this most desir-
able result the surgeon goes to ex-
treme lengths to secure absolute clean
Illness. The site Of the wound. the sur
geon's hands and nails. the instru-
ments employed must each be rendered
absolutely free from the least trace Of
germ life.
Unbroken surfaces Of the skin and
mucous membranes are themselves re-
sistant to germ life. Breaks in the
continuity Of the skin or mucous men,
brane. or Inflammation. form avenues
by which germs Of disease frequently
gain entrance to the system. II is
therefore desirable that even insignifi-
cant wounds and ipaamed conditions
should be frequently bathed with
cleansing solutions.
Slight sore throat, the enlarged ton
sils OF childhood. whether they are OF
short or long duration, should, In the
light Of tho present knowledge of the
disease, be daily cleansed with mild an
tiseptic solutions In order that more
serious disorder be not the outcome.
Solutions OF the kind termed anti
septic are healing" because they op-
pose the growth OF germ life. Nature
herself heals, but progress In healing
Is more rapid when the process is un-
hindered by these microscopic forms OF
life.
Some Of the methods In vogue long
before the modern term came into use
are nevertheless In line with the scien-
tine application Of the principles OF
antiseptics. The old-time use OF the
lye OF wood-ashes for wounds caused
by unclean instruments Is an example.
Where antiseptlc drugs are not avail
able. clean wood-ashes. formerly at
hand everywhere. and boiling water
form an antiseptic solution not to be
despised, even yet.
During and after times OF Illness a
process OF cleansing must be instituted
which will render everything antisep-
tic on which the germs OF disease may
have lodged
Exposure OF contaminated articles to
sunlight and air is an easy way OF OBJ
taining excellent results.
When floors and the like are to be
cleansed. carbollc acid freely diluted
with water is the best OF all the easily
obtained substances.
Lime Is an excellent absorbent OF
moisture and Is rapidly fatal to germ
life. 1t has n wide range OF usefulness.

SUGAR SUPPLY
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BEET
SUGAR INDUSTRY.
nut Forty Sugar Companies In the United
s'stes-It WIN He Twenty or Thirty
Years Before Enough Can He Made to
supply the Home Market Alone.

Now that the Rubicon between the
beet and cane sugar refineries has
been crossed, 1t Is of interest to note,
says the New York Commercial, that
there are about forty beet sugar retin-
Ing companies in the United States,
located In twenty-five different states.
These factories are in operation only
three or four months during - year,
while the cane sugar refinSries are
seldom Idle except for repairs.
The American Beet Sugar COmpn-
ny's plants have capacity of about
2Oo,OO,OOO pounds annually, but this
has been exercised only up to 100000
600 pounds per annum. The Spreck-
les refinery alone-the Pacific coast
members Of the American Sugar Re-
filming Company-has capacity ex-
ceeding 50O,OO0,OOO pounds.
When 1t Is considered that the con-
sumption Of sugar In the United States
will be upward of 2,3O0,O00 tons this
year, and that we have the worlds
production Of 0,50O,OOO tons to draw
from, the present beet sugar industry
In the United States sinks to relative
insignificance. The production of beet
sugar In Europe is estimated this year
mt G,OjO,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 rs follows: From Louis
lana, 100000 tons; Porto Rico, 100000
tons; Hawaii, 100000 tons; Cuba, G5O,-
600 tons; Philippine islands, $4,000 tons:
Java, other West India islands and
Central America, 100000 tons, n total
of 100000 tons. or beet sugar our
own states will furnish about 100000
tons, making balance Of 100000 tons
to be drawn from Europe.
From this 1t will be seen that there
Is 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 suffi-
cient sugar to meet home require
ments.
