THE SUGAR CANE.
We Have borrowed II From India,
Its Native Home.

The sugar cane and It's uses have
been known in India, its native home
from time inmemorial. Ii is perhaps
the earliest source from which sugar
was produced. aud all other modes Of
manufacture hare been borrowed from
or based on It. The early classical
writers knew sugar vaguely as honey
of canes" To the Greco Roman world
the sugar cane was the reed which tbs
swarthy Indians delighted to chew AMI
from which they extracted a mysteri
GUS sweetmeat.
1t was the Arabs-those great car
riers between the east and west-who
introduced the cane in the middle ages
into Egypt, Sicily and the south OF
Spain, where it fiourished abundantly
until West Indian slavery drove 1t out
of the field for u time and sent the
trade in sugar TO Jamaica and Cuba.
Early in the sixteenth century the
cane was taken from Sicily 10 Madeirs
and the Canaries. Thence 1t found It's
way to Brazil and Mexico, to Jamalca
and Haiti. Cane sugar was vel
known in Italy about the second cen
tury and has been common in England
since the Tudor period. The strenuous
days Of great Elizabeth had sugar 70

London Built on spone.,

One could surely find no worse
ground to build upon than bed of
sponges such as we use for the bath.
And yet London has for its subsoil
only sponges, although we call them
dints. Once they grew as sponges do
now in salt water shadows. and they
are found in layers petrified among
the chalk of southern England. The
Thames valley chalk has been melted
like so much sugar and carried away
with the running waters, but the fints
have been left behind, and on these the
whole city of London has found its
