After it has been cut and stripped of its leaves the sugar-cane is
crushed between powerful rollers in order to express the juice. The
sugar-beet is rasped or ground to a pulp and then subjected to great
pressure. The expressed juice contains about ten or twelve per cent. of
sugar. In some factories the beet, or the cane, is cut into thin slices
and thrown into water, the juice being extracted by the solvent
properties of the latter. This is known as the "diffusion" process. |

Light is said to be polarized when, after having been once refracted or
reflected, it is rendered incapable of being again refracted or
reflected at certain angles. For example, if a crystal of brown
tourmaline be cut longitudinally into thin slices, and polished, the
light of a candle may be seen through a slice as if it were glass. But
if one of these slices be held perpendicularly between the eye and the
candle, and a second slice be turned round between the eye and the other
plate of tourmaline, the image of the candle will vanish and come into
view at every quarter-revolution of the plate, varying through all
degrees of brightness down to total or almost total evanescence, and
then increasing again by the same degrees as it had decreased. Thus, the
light, in passing through the first plate of tourmaline, is said to be
polarized because it has been rendered incapable of passing through the
second piece of tourmaline in certain positions. |

=Persia.=--Persia is the modernized name of the province now called Fars,
or Farsistan. Within its borders, however, the name Persia is almost
unknown; the native people call the country Iran. In the times of
Cyrus, Xerxes, and Darius, Persia was one of the great powers of the
world. The cultivable lands produced an abundance of food-stuffs. The
mines of copper, lead, silver, and iron were worked to their utmost
extent, and the chief trade-routes between Europe and the Orient crossed
the country to the Indus River. |
- Economy
Overview: The economy is based on sheep farming, which directly or
indirectly employs most of the work force. A few dairy herds are kept to meet
domestic consumption of milk and milk products, and crops grown are primarily
those for providing winter fodder. Major sources of income are from the export
of high-grade wool to the UK and the sale of stamps and coins. Rich stocks of
fish in the surrounding waters are not presently exploited by the islanders, but
development plans called for the islands to have six trawlers by 1989.
In 1987 the government began to sell fishing licenses to foreign trawlers
operating within the Falklands exclusive fishing zone. These license
fees amount to more than $25 million per year. To encourage tourism, the
Falkland Islands Development Corporation has built three lodges for
visitors who are attracted by the abundant wildlife and trout fishing. |

Probably no other mineral has had a wider influence on both social and
economic life, and the industrial arts, than petroleum and its
compounds. The kerosene lamp, the aniline dye, the insulation of
electric wires, the lubrication of machinery, the cosmetic, the
india-rubber solution, and the physician's sedative dose represent only
a few of the devices that are derived from petroleum. |

The high land of Mexico forms a very decided line of division between
the fauna of North and that of the South America; yet some North
American animals are seen beyond it, particularly two of the bears, and

beyond Brazil. On the other hand, the Puma, Jaguar, Opossum, Kinkajou,
and Peccari, have crossed the barrier from South America to California
and the United States. |
