ing Local Statistics.

The prosperity of the Grand Junet-
ion sugar factory and the growth of
the Colorado beet sugar Industry is
clearly and interestingly shown in
the following article from the Colo
RADIO Springs Telegraph of yesterday.
With the opening of the beet sug-
ar factory of the Western Sugar and
Land company, at Grand Junction, ON
last Thursday, some interesting fig
ures on the sugar beet industry of
the state are available.
The beet sugar crop this year will
not only be of finer quality than that
of any previous season, but the acre
age in the state will be increased
from 10000 of last year to nearly
100, 900 this year. The value of the
$4000.000 last year to 100000
this season.
Colorado Springs has place in the
sugar beet industry, in that the home
office of two of the large sugar beet
companies are here, namely the
United States Sugar and Land COM
pany and the Western Sugar and
Land company. Elpaso county farm
ers are engaged in beet raising, and
have increased their crop this year
from $50 to $50 acres in sugar beets.
1t is estimated that this seasons
crop will show increase of so per
cent in the actual amount of beets
raised, although the increase is less.
This is due to the fact that the crop
is unusually good this season. Not
only will the farmers profit by this
condition, but the tests made so far
show that the percentage of sugar
Is of higher average than in the pre-
" nf ha o1n L. - TIL,
ar factories have been in operation
in the state. 1t is expected that the
average yield this season will be 10
per cent sugar.
OF the S6,000,000, the value of the
sugar beet crop there will be pro-
fit of 100000 to sugar beet grow
ers. This disbursement will reach
is, 900 families within the borders
of Colorado.
The Western Sugar and Land com
pany alone will pay out more than
one-haf million dollars for its beets
this year. There will be an addition
al 100000 distributed in wages for
labor. freight, etc.. making a total of
practically $1,0O0,000. The Grand
Junction factory of the company was
the first in the state to commence
operations. 1t was found necessary

enormous crop to be handled. The

Lottery whatewashing ItseIf.

Lottery was supposed to have coma
~ an end in this country about fifteen
years ago. when the Louisiana compa-
ny was put out Of business through the
combined agency Of the federal govern
ment and the state Of Louisiana. The
state revoked the charter which licens-
ed the drawings in New Orleans, and
Uncle Sam closed the mails to the
transmission Of tickets, advertisements
and the like. No less than 10000 peo-
pie lived OF Of the lottery business.
and now the principals caught in the
act Of maintaining the Honduras lot
terry" recently suppressed, claim that
the motive for establishing 1t was
chiefly to provide business for the en-
pIoyees Of the defunct concern. This
was simply philanthropy at the public
expense.
The principals Of the old lottery
company could have pensioned their
employees without feeling the drain ON
their wealth. Compared with today
the lottery earnings might seem small.
But in the heyday Of this form of gam
bling, when Vanderbilt, Gould and A.
r. Stewart were the moneyed princes
of this country, the lottery earnings
were relatively atupendous. Wander
bits wealth was estimated at $780,
100000, and that figure was believed
to be high. Could and Stewart had
less The lottery people probably han
died more money each year than the
combined interests OF these renowned
captains Of industry. Lottery stock
holders profits were enormous, and
the agents and clerks Of the company
earned more than men in correspond
Ing positions In the service Of Wander
bllt, Gould and Stewart. Millions went
for advertising and developing the bust
ness, and the annual expense account
back in the eighties would doubtless

TRAINING STARFISH,
College Professor Teaches Them
to Turn Somersaults.
HOW THEY ACQUIRED HABIT.

Or. n. 8. Jennings Makes Marine AMI
mails Use Certain Rays to Turn Over.
Ten Lessons q Day For Eighteen
Days Does the Trick.
DR.. Herbert s. Jennings, associate
professor Of physiological zoology at
the Johns Hopkins university, has re-
ported upon his experiments in train
Ing starflsh to turn somersaults and do
other queer tricks, says a Baltimore
dispatch to the New York Sun. 1t was
found that twelve lessons sufficed to
teach the starfsh what to do SO long
as the experimenter was near, but In
his absence the fish refused to make
use OF the acquired habits.
With regard to his work in teaching
starfish DIR. Jennings says:
Attempts were made to train the
starfish. In righting itself when turn
ed on It's back the starfish may use
any pair from the 1--WE rays to attach
Itself and then by pulling with this
pair II turns a somersault, thus re-
turning to Its natural position. In sue
cessive trials different pairs Of rays
may be used.
''rhe training was directed toward
getting the fish to employ regularly a
certain pair Of rays for this purpose,
the experlmenter at first not permitting
II to use other rays. By this method
II was found that the starfish very
readily acquires what may be called
temporary habits. In one case the
starfish was trained to use a certain
pair Of rays never used naturally. Aft
or twelve lessons the starfish was
found 10 have adopted the habit. 1t
was allowed to right Itself three times
In succession without interference from
the experimenter, and In every case II
used the pair of rays that 1t had been
trained to use.
'I3ut these results do not last After
twenty -four hours the student shows
no effect OF the training. Therefore an
extended series Of lessons was under
taken with several individuals, ten les
sons a day for eighteen days. The

the training process their resistance
was gradually overcome, and at the
period Of training the animal employ
cd this pair OF rays more frequently
than any other,
I'm several specimens thus trained II
was found that the effects Of the train.
Ing lasted for at least week after the
training ceased, II IL clear therefore
that habits may BIO formed In the star

There Is no doubt that by beginning
with young specimens and continuing
well planned training for a long time
very marked results could be reached.
