NEW SLATE DEPOSITS.

New slate deposits in large quantities
have been found in Maine after an In
yestigation conducted by Prof. L. A.
Lee, chairman of the State survey COM
mission, together with DR.. Geo. Otis
Smyth and Prof. T. Nelson Dale OF the
U. 5. Geological department., the latter
an expert on granite and slate deposits.
Their work was conducted in the region
OF the Somerset railroad, now In the
process of construction. Slate was
found near Pleasant pond, Caratunk
and the Forks. The most important
deposits were found on the site OF an
old clearing in the woods. The geolo-
gists consider the find of great value,
but to determine its true value will re-
quire an expenditure of considerable
amount of money. Surface indications
point to an excellent deposit. The
slate found is bright and lustrous and
has an especially perfect cleavage. IL
Is of high quality and exists In large
quantities.

SCIENTIFIC BEET CULTURE.
A Department of Berlin Agricultural
School Devoted to 1t.

A department OF the agricultural
high school at Berlin was recently es-
tablished which is devoted entirely to
the study Of the scientific culture Of
beet sugar. Beet sugar cultivation on
an Industrial scale in Germany dates
from but little more than fifty years
ago. says a consular report, and to-
ward the end Of the sos there was
established in connection with the ag-
ricultural high school a small work
ing laboratory which, under the direc-
don Of Prof. DR.. Scheibler, devoted
its somewhat restricted facilities TO the
cause OF scientific sugar production.
There were then in Germany about
$50 more or less primitive sugar fac
tories, which worked up annually 70O,-
900 tons Of beets These had multi
piled in 1900 to 800 factories. which
consumed 10, 200 tons of beets, or an
average OF more than $1,000 tons TO
each establishment Meanwhile, the
requirements of the time had far trans
cended the capacity and facilities Of
the institute founded by Prof Scheib-
Ter, and the new spacious and com
pletely equipped establishment now
opened and dedicated to It's work epit-
omizes firstly the present state Of the
sugar industry in Germany. 1t Is rec
ognized here above all that the abo-
lition OF export bounties by the Brus-
sells conference ended definitely long
and important chapter in the history
of beet-sugar production and that the
industry, deprived Of that form Of arti
fetal stimulus, must henceforth work
out Its own future upon new and in
dependent lines. 1t is to be a battle
In which scientific methods, profoundly
studied and sklllfully applied. alone
can win. To concentrate all the light
which science can give upon the task
Of producing most economically from a
given area Of land the largest weight
Of beets with the highest percentage Of
saccharine element to harvest the
crop, extract cleanse and evaporate
the juice, and to conduct each step Of
the process down to the marketing of
the refined sugar with the utmost skill
and avoidance of waste-this is the les
son which the new institute is designed
and equipped to teach.

DIG INTO ANCIENT CRAFT.
Tunnel Workers Find Hull of Ship in
Brooklyn's Excavation.

Tunnel Workers Find Hull of Ship in
Brooklyn's Excavation.
Eighteen feet below the street level
the dlggers OF the Brooklyn tunnel
have come upon the hull OF an old
ship, says New York special to the
st. Louis Post Dispatch. The rem
nants Of the vessel must have been
where they have now been found for
at least 100 years.
They are putting down a shaft at
Furman and Joraemon streets to meet
the tunnel. which is being run out I'M
der the East River from a point far
more inland than Furman street. The
tunnel Is so far underground that Il
went under the old ship. The shaft
struck the ship close to the side Of the
hull. The wOrkmen first Of all came

as hard as stone itself and were very
much harder TO break up. They could
not be blasted and AK after ak was
dulled in getting through them.
Word got around in the neighbor-
hood OF the discovery Of the ship and
great horde of souvenir hunters de
,cended Oh the works and carried away
chips. SO very little OF the ship was
exposed by the shaft that not much
can be learned of it, but It seems to
be lying across the street with much
OF its length running under the build
lngs on the south side of the street. At
the time the foundations Of these
buildings We're dug, so far as one can
remember. there was no trace of the
old ship found.
All sorts OF romantic stories are be
/ ing invented to account for the pres.
ence Of the ship there. Certainly the
oak timbers are all fastened together
with wooden pins. and ships have not
been put together without metal for
many long year. Then, too, Furman
street was filled In 80 years ago, and
there was no ship there then, so that
the hulk must have sunk under the
mud before that time. The generally
accepted explanation Is that when IN,
