formaldehyde, and the initial product
may be either liquid, pasty or solid
and brittle, each form rapidly chang

the final hard, strong and resisting
substance. The material has some Of

The Beet Sugar Industry.

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
done on sugar beets rs far back
az 1867. In 1892 only six factories
we're in operation in this country, the
combined output Of which was q little
over 1000, 900 pounds Of sugar.
According to the National Mag.
azine, there are now no less than
sixty.four factories in operation, with
a combined output Of approximately
500, 900 short tons OF sugar manu-
featured from beets, with a factory
value of s45, OO0, 900.
One most important factor has been
the production of q 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 az.
riculture has been encouraging the
successful growth of sugar beet seed
in this country. 1t has shown tina,
the seed ear be greatly improved by
breeding, tests of beets from American
grown seed running as high as Il, Is
and sometimes 20 per cent. sugar.

Discussing Wool Tariff.

WASHINGTON. June S.-The senate
today began consideration OF the
wooden schedule. Taking up the first
amendment proposed by the committee
on finance, Senator Dolliver opposed
the increase ove the house rates.
This amendment proposed a return
to the D3ngley rates on top waste, row.
ing waste, ETC., or an increase of from
20 to 30 cents per pound. This in
crease was in accordance with the fl.
nance committee's settled purpose of
re-establishing the Dingley rates
through the wooden schedule.
In defense of the higher rates, Sena.
tor Warren, who is considered an ex.
pert in the matter of %woolens, ex-
planned the propriety of maintaining
the Dingley duties. Referring to the
fact that the Wyoming senator is gen.
orally reputed to be the owner of a
great many sheep, Senator Dolliver
declared that he was the ''greatest
shepherd since Abraham"
Disavowing the personal ownership
OF a single sheep, COW or horse, except
a horse kept for his personal use, Mr..
Warren added that he was a stock
holder in companies engaged In those
industries, as he was in railroad
properties.

new Mine EXPLOSIVE.
Powerful In Effect and Will Not Ignite
Choke Damp or Fire Damp.

A new explosive is made by mixing
perchlorate Of ammonia with an Or
ganic substance containing tannin,
says the Scientific American. The per-
chlorate may be partly replaced by
nitrate of ammonia or commo salt
peter. Myrobolan and dividivi are suit
able organic ingredients. A good ex-
plosive mixture consists Of thirty-six
parts of myrobolan and sixty-four
parts Of perchlorate Of ammonia.
Nearly half of the perchlorate may be
replaced by saltpeter. The proportions
are by weight, and all the ingredients
should be pulverized before being
mixed.
The new explosive is we'll adapted
for use in coal mines, as the tempera-
ture produced by it's explosion is too
low to ignite either coal dust Choke
damp or marsh gas (ire damp. 1t is
advisable to convert the mixture into a
plastic mass by the addition Of fish
glue, oil or preferably agar-agar. The
explosive is very powerful, yet it is not
easily ignited by shocks and can be
handled with safety.
