Sugar-making now and Hugar-mr.King n
t was nra very different things , and wha
t has gained in facility it has lost In pic
urcsqucsncss. The old camp , with iii
iriinitivo appliances , ia no more : the "kct

ho Arcadia of the past their services wen
not despised , and the whole household sc
up its abode in the woods.
Tlio sap was collected then in troughs
jach about three feet Jong , hollowed ontol
actionsof poplars , and was conveyed the <
ho kettles in barrels , from which it wni
ransferred by scoops. There were live o
moro kettles , from ton to thirty .gallons ii
capacity , nnd each was filled with saji
which was kept boiling , the larger kettle :
'icing refilled from the smaller ones a.
vaporation reduced the quantity. "Whci
ho contents wcro reduced to a desired con
istcncy , the hot syrup was dipped out aut
lassert through a flannel strainer into cov
red tubs , from which again it was pourci
nto a thick-bottomed kettle for the pur
lese , of "stirring ofT , " some milk and tin
fhites of several eggs being added to it
! Iius prepared it was placed over a slow flre
ml ikcpt just below boiling point uuti
lie sediment and all foreign matter in i
oatcd to the top and were removed , wliei
b became deliriously translucent. It wa
iow exposed to n greater heat and geutl ;
loilcd , the evaporation continuing , am
fringing it nearer to the point of granula
[ on. Now tlio sugar-maker is all watch
jlncss , nnd it fared ill with those win
istractcd him , for if the golden llquic
cething in the kettle boiled the least hi
oo murh it would became dry in quality
rhlle if it boiled too little It would b <
soggy. " Ho tested it constantly , plnckinj
breads of it from his stirring and tralllnj
horn round in cups of cold wntcr. "Whili
hothrouls yielded waxily to the touch
ho sugar waa not yet done , but a * aoou tu
mo broke crisp between his lingers , tin
imo had como to take the kettle off tin
iro. As the nugar began to cool , it crystal
zed around the sides , and gradually th1

came granular.
In that way sugar was made years ago
ind when the sap flowed profusely the ope

American scientists nro again discussing
lie connection alleged to exist between the
operations of railways mid the amount of
rainfall. It is regarded : w a remarkable
act tjiat before railways were extended to
: ho Pacific , the country lying between the
Sierra. . Nevada aud Rocky Mountains wits
lubject to an almost continuous drought.
Jinco then , however , tlio country boa been
visited with frequent falls of rain. What
> reduced the change ? is the question.
lOiuo Miggeht that it is duo to n change in
ho electrical state of the atmosphere , prp-
luccd by tlio conduction of the subtle fluid
ute the region by the iron mils. Other *
issert that it is caused by the atmospheric
disturbances arising from the frequent

but up fo 1&VI the United States hud been

Iroughts , bat since that year there haa

that the building of such a vast network
of Vailwnys as has been constructed in the
mt quarter of 11 century has had the ef-
cct of promoting the tall of rain. Since
.ho general introduction of railways in

inch as previously at short intervals caused
widespread distress. In the case of Eng-
and it is remarked that although the cli-
nnto has been always humid there has
