Mr.. Powderly, after investigation,
declares there are few men in the New

He suggests state farms. Good, as far
as it goes, But many of these men

farm. Some are better adapted to
building roads. The plan of Orlando
F, Lewis for employment stations is

Beet Sugar.

One Of the most important of the in
dustries developed in recent years is
the production of sugar from sugar
beets. More or less desultory work
was lone on sugar beets as far back
as 1867. In 1892 only six factories
were III operation i'll this country, the
combined output of which was a little
over 27,OOO,OOO pounds of sugar.
According to the National Magazine,
there are now no less thar siXty-four
factories in operation, with a combined
output Of approximately 100000 short
tons of sugar manufactured from beets.
with a factory value of $45,OOO,OOO.
One most important factor has been
the production of a high-grade sugar
beet seed. For many years American
growers have been dependent almost
exclusively on foreign countries for our
sugar beet seed, but for three or four
years past the Department of Agricul-
ture has been encouraging the success
full growth Of sugar sect seed in this
country. 1t has shown that the seed
can be greatly improved by breeding,
tests of beets from American-grown
seed running as high as II, Is and
sometimes 90 per cent sugar.

EARLY Lam DIS and wicks.

1t would be hazardous to conjecture
what the first wick consisted Of, but
when we come to consider the iron
lamp, or "crusie," we know that the
wick commonly used was the pith Of
the rush, which was gathered and
partially stripped Of It's outer green
covering, cut into proper lengths, dried
and tied up into bundles ready for use.
The iron lamp was hammered out of
one piece Of iron in a stone mold. This
was usually done by the blacksmith,
and the molds are still to be seen in
museums, in the hands of private col
lectors and no doubt at some of the
country blacksmiths' shops. They are
of one uniform shape, with some slight
varieties. The lamp consists Of two
cups, one suspended above and inside
the other. The suspender is so fixed
and notched as to enable the upper
cup which holds the oil and wick. to
be shifted to keep the oil constantly in
contact with the wick. Tho lower cup
catches the drip of the oil, which can
be easily replaced in the upper cup by
lifting it off until the oil is poured into
1t. The upper cup has sometimes a
movable lid.-Chambcrs' Journal.
