Coffee Substitute Culture.

A syndicate of Stockton capitalists
has purchased a 5O0-acre tract of
very rich land on Roberts Island, one
of the numerous fertile river islands
west of Stockton, and expects soon to
commence the cultivation of coffee F."
They are going to put this large
tract into "blackeye BEANS" which
are used extensively in the manufac-
ture of the cheaper grades of coffee.
The bean takes a nice brown color,
has a good flavor, and cannot be de-
tected from the genuine coffee bean
the imported article-except by an
experienced expert; and even such a
person would find it difficult to detect
the counterfeit in a ground mixture
of the real article.
The blackeye bean owing to the
demand for it in the manufacture of
coffee sells readily for five cents per
pound; much cheaper than real coffee
can be purchased for. The blackeye
bean is not at all injurious, as has
been determined by repeated expert
menting and chemical tests; but, on
the contrary, It makes n very nutri-
tious drink when mixed with real
coffee. as is always the case. and the
flavor is delicious. In fact, about the
only thing against the blackeye bean
is, that it is not coffee, and no enthu-
siastic coffee drinker would knowing
~ drink any substitute This IS the
first attempt to cultivate the blackeye
bean i'm California. Scientific Amer

Use OF Electro-Mannet.

In engineering works the electro
magnet is taking very prominent
place. This device dispenses with
hooks, sings and other lifting appa-
ratus. By throwing q switch CONTROL
ing the current the magnet is ener-
gized and thereby attaches itself to
the bars, castings, scrap or pig iron
which 1t is desired to lift. The mag
net poles are shaped according to the
nature OF the material to be raised.
For heavy rails they are oblong and
are slung from the crane hook by a
short chain. Castings weighing over
two tons are successfully handled by
electro-magnets. Another use to
which the electromagnetic is put is
breaking old castings so that they
may be melted and utilized. To ac.
complish this the magnet is made to
lift and drop Il steel ball weighing
from one to six tons. Az
