Harry O'Neil, who represents the new process known as the masse-cuit process for reducing the sugar beet to raw sugar, gave an account of the new method at tho convention at Fremont last week and savs: This process, though a patent has en applied for it, he said could scarce- y be called a new one. It is based upon the old and well known principle of the evaporation of water by air passing rap idly over it. The dryer and hotter the air the greater its capacity of absorbing moisture. By this method the juice is extracted from the beet, clarified and all the albuminous substances removed by the usual process, by lime and other chemicals. The essential feature of the evaporator is a tank containing the clari fied juice leading to a battery of cylinders made of copper and so arranged as to revclve rapidly on their horizontal axes and to admit of the passage of a current, of hot, dry air through them. It is pro posed to have a battery of four cylinders, each about thirty feet in length, three of them being parallel to ech other and the fourth underneath. The clarified syrup of beet juke, containing probably 90 to 93 per cent of water, passes suc cessively through these rapidly rotating cylinders, through each of which a cur rent of dry heated air is passed. The air absorbs or evaporates the water so that crude sugar, cailed masse, is withdrawn from the lower cylinder. In the experi ment tried at Grand Island at the Oxnard factory December 13th the juice was passed through but one cylinder eighteen feet long. On entering the evaporator it had a temperature of 130 degrees F., contained 8.6 per cent sugar and 914 water. On leaving the evaporator it had 91.5 per cent raw sugar and 8.5 per cent water. By means of this process saaall factories with a capacity of 100 tons of beets a day can be erected at various points in the state, and at some central point a sugar refinery erected which can ' plicity, and the ease with which it" en run all the year round for the raw sugar I ahied even the most illiterate to compute will keep for an indefinite time without ! slues. It is reasonable to suppose that souring or being in any way injured in quality. The gentlemen who devised this plan were not capitalists, and had to go outside of the state for money to de velop the business. If capitalists-can be assured that the bounty will be paid for j benefactors to the generations yet to five years, they are prepared to put in ' come, rather than by a hatred of England one central refinery and a large number as "Coin" states on page G of his "Finan of smaller factories.

To gain a proper knowledge of this subject, we should understand what is meant by a monetary system, invest'gale the principles upon which our system is founded, and examine the various changes which have been made from its inception to the present In order, therefore, that the subject maybe discussed in a systematic manner, refer ence will first be made to the rxrr of value. Probably no phrase in the English language has been so thoroughly dis cussed, especially in the last two or three years, as tne one which stanus at the head of this sub-division. In comput ing .tho amount contained in bulk of any commodity so that its relative value could be ascertained, as compared with some other commodity where an ex change was probably desired, it was absolutely necessary to have a starting point. Consequently a set of arbitrary rules rules evolved by the sole good judgment of those who first deemed them necessary in order to facilitate business transactions were established. fixed as the standard by the government and by common consent accepted by the people as the laws regulating the meas urement of all articles of commerce. Many of these laws have existed back to a period when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. That this may be made sufficiently plain it is only necessary to add that the gill is the unit in liquid measure, the inch is the unit in distance, the ounce is the unit in heavy and bulky articles such as wheat, and other grains, coffee, sugar and the like, and similarly with the system of tables applied daily in different business trans actions. Over a hundred years ago when this country was a dependency of Great Britain, poundshillings and pence were the appellations applied to the money then in circulation, and it was only after our independence had been gained that the statesmen of that time considered it incumbent upon them to establish a monetary system which should be a very radical change from the one to which the people were then accustomed, and yet be far in advance of anv other m sim- such men as Washington and Jefferson, having a knowledge of the difficulty ex perienced in estimating values in pounds etc, were actuated by a desire to assist iho people of their day, and to There was a demand for -a new denartnm I in muMing our monetary system and A Si Prize Poetryl T)OWT AIi thingllfeoine to those x)Ut unto 'SOmetney come TOO 0h, hasten tQ The Fair ----. , A OI KlCnarOSlSrOS.snoeSr- -WHERE iAkRE YOU GOING.
