SUGAR OUTPUT Is LARGE.

La orande--The new track Of tho
Central Railway has reached the Hunt
grade opposite Conc, and a spur for
loading bects has been put In. This
reduces the hauling distance from tho
Cone beet fields materially, as tho end
of the track Is now about three miles
and half from the farms. Most OF
tho Cone beets remain TO be delivered
and tho harvest In that locality has
been postponed as long as possible,
awaiting railroad facilities. Superin-
tendcnt Barnwell says that ten days or
two weeks will DO required to get all
the bcets to tho factory.
The factory has been running most
satisfactorily, without q hitch or halt,
from the time the season opened. In
addition TO the fne output Of beets, the
sugar percentage is higher this year
than ever before. 1t is estimated that
tho sugar output this season will bo
between 10000 and 10000 sacks, or
from ESQ TO 800 cars.
The factory viii probably run four
weeks longer.

London, Nov. 1S.-Sir Thomas Full
Ter, agent general for Cape Colony in

the country where Ferreira and his
men are operating is sparsely popu-
lated and the farmhouses widely sep
arated It is not impossible, however,
that Ferrelra may obtain some adher-
ents and do some mischief. The Cape
Mounted Rifles, Sir Thomas declares,

HUMAN BODY ls A BATTERY.
Telephone 10 Operated by Current
Given Out BY the stomach.

San Francisco, Nov 13.-Before
number OF medical men and scientists
today, Mrs. Albert J. Atkins and Il. J
Lewis succeeded In charging an cleo
trIcaI clrcut with human electricity TO
such a degree that external sound
waves were transmitted and heard
through an ordinary telephone re-
celyer. The experiment consisted OF
the application OF two platinum cleo
trodes TO the walls OF the living stom-
ach. BY means OF copper wires the
electrodes were connected with tele-
phone and microphone. a sensitive
instrument, which greatly intensifes
sound.
There was absolutely no mechanical
or chemical battery In the circuit, YET
the moment the electrodes were swai
lowed sufficiently to touch the walls
OF the stomach, human electricity
flowed over the wires, rendering
sounds audible. The electric charge
measured from seven TO eight milli.
volts on a Weston galvanometer.
Colonel Il. p. Richardson, the sub
ject OF the experiment, swallowed the
electrodes and succeeded In retaining
them for q considerable time. After
brief rest, he was given drink Of
whisky and on again connecting the
electrodes with the interior lining OF
his stomach the galvanometer regis
tered IL mllli.yolts.
Drs. Atkins and Lewis claim that
by this experiment they have demon
strated the law OF action OF the human
senses, They reason that, II sound Is
transmitted over a copper wire when
lit is charged with human electricity.
Ilt is reasonable TO consider the prin-
cipie the same when the auditory
NERVE Is charged with the same force.
In other words, We hear when the
auditory nerve Is made sensitive with
human electricity on the same prin'
ciple which we receive telephone
message.
Furthermore, these scientists claim
THAT by a series OF experiments they
have proven that digestion is an elec
tro-chemic process; that all life ac
tlon In the body is dependent upon the
activity OF the electrical forces within
the organism, that variations OF sense
manifestation. as sight. hearing. etc.
are caused by the different rates OF vi
bration set up by the human electrical
currents acting on the special sense
nerves.

HoERs ON A RAID.
Mounted Rifles start in Pursuit and
Rebels Prepare to Fight.

Cape Town. South Africa, Nov. IL.
The latest advices from the scene
of the Boer outbreak In the North
western part OF Cape Colony agree
that the situation is decidedly grave.
Natives who have never been in SYM
pathy with the British plans of govern
ment are fiocking to the standard OF
the rebel chieftain, Ferriera. On Sun
day he attacked camp OF loyals at
Uppington and fierce fight followed
lasting hours, when the police. find
Ing themselves outnumbered, fed
carrying their badly.wounded men.
Ferreira, with his force augmented
hourly, Is now In camp on farm near
Uppington and II is reported that his
command is bringing horses from the
farms in the vicinity. 1t is believed
that he plans march toward Kuru-
man, then, IL able. to fight the troops
sent against him and go on to KIM
berley.
Three flying columns Of Cape Col
ony troopers and police, whose ranks
numbered many veterans OF the Boer
army who have taken the oath OF al
legiance are now marching to engage
the rebels. 1t Is conceded here that
the loyal forces will have their work
cut out in putting down the rebellion.
For many months the Beers have been
dissatisfied with the attitude of the
British colony toward them and many
have declared their intention of leav-
ing the British possessions and try
ing their luck in other parts of AT
rica. Should the present uprising gain
a few initial successes, certainly the
discontented from all over British
South Africa will gather to aid Fer
reira. and, IL the latter can arm and
equip all who come to him, the gov
ernment will SOM begin sending reg
ulaT troops into the field to oppose
him.

Jananese Hard to shave.

Its n hard piece of work to shave a
japanese" said a New York barber
who had just finished shaving one.
THAT man hasn't more than couple
dozen hairs on his face, and yet it
takes me longer to shave him than any
other man who comes into this shop.
You see" he went on, "the Japs have
such curious hair that | have to prac-
tically take each one separately or
there will be trouble not only with
him. but with my razors. You can go
against the grain with the average
man and not bother him a bit, but if
you try it on a Jap there's trouble,
His hair is like so much wire unless
you handle it just right.
THE easiest man to shave In the
wOrld-and I've worked in almost ev-
cry country where a barber can get
shows a pure blooded African.
His skin is like a beautiful piece of
satin, and his hair is so fine and
soft that ii is a pleasure to have any
thing to do with it. Curiously enough,
If you cross an African with any other
race there is trouble for us at once
that is, so far as shaving is concerned.
But for nice hard job spare me from
a Japanese."-NewY York Press.

Extreme "busyness, whether at school
or at college, kirk or market, is a
symptom of deficient vitality, and a
faculty for idleness implies catholic
appetite and a strong sense of personal
identity. There is a sort of dead
alive, hackneyed people about who are
scarcely conscious of living except in
the exercise of some conventional oc-
cupation. Bring these fellows into
your country or set them aboard ship
and you will see how they pine for
their desk or study. They have, no
curiosity, they cannot give themselves
over to random provocations, they do
not take pleasure in the exercise of
their faculties for its own sake, and
unless necessity lays about them with
a stick they will even stand still. 1t is
no good speaking to such folk. They
cannot he idle, their nature is not gen
erous enough, and they pass those
hours in a sort of coma which are not
dedicated to furious moiling In the
gold mill.-Stevenson.

COFFEE HOUSES.
the First OF Them That Were Opened

the East and West Indies for the ma

is observed that while Nathaniel Como

Baliol college, in oxford, which be left
in 164S, he made the drink for his own
use called coffee and usually drank it
every morning, being the first coffee,
as the ancients of that house informed
him. that was ever drunk in Oxon.
In the year 1850, we learn. Jacob

Cinques Jobson, a Hebrew and JAG
obite. born near Mount Libanus, sold
coffey in Oxon. and in 1853 Artti Till
yard, apothecary, sold coffey publicly
in his house against All Souls Coll.
This coffey house continued till his
majesty's return and after, and then
they became more frequent and had
an excise set on cOHey.'

James Farr, barber, who kept the
coffee house which is now the Rain
bow. by the Inner Temple gate lone
of the first in England, was in the year
1867 presented by the Inquest of St.
Dunstans in the west for making and
selling a sort of liquor called coffee as
great nuisance and prejudice of the
nelghborhood. And who could then
have thought London would ever have
had near 5000 such nuisances and that
so much drunk by the best of quality

In the Kingdoms Intelligencer, a
