Loses Sweetness.
Sugar loses Its sweetness because
pjds consume the sucrose, which Is
[sweetening factor. Although the
lount thus lost may bo only a frac
d of one per cent, and far too slight
be detected by the senses of taste
v smell In many cases, it Is easily
WerDilned hv the polarlscope, an In
?truincnt especially ? designed . f6r
Insuring the amount of sucrose pres
it. When sugar deteriorates not
?ilj docs the polarlscope detect the
Ifferences. but anyone who Is suftl
rttly observant will note that It will
Mually take a larger spoonful to give
K Mine sweetening power. Thus, If

NOT MUCH GOES TO WASTE I
Machines That Make for Economy Are
Now in General Use In Facto
ries in America.
Recovery of valuable portions of
materials formerly wasted is more
and more a feature of American in
dustrial economy. Kor many years
there has been In use lu many of
tlie large engineering works a cen
trifugal separating machine which
removes the oil from, Iron and steel
turnings or borings ami thus permits
It to be used over again. This idea
which underlies this machine lias
now been carried farther and applied
to the removal Of the dust and dirt
which unavoidably collects In oil
used In the lubricating systems of
marine and other large engines. The
new machine Is very sjmllar lp form
and operates on the same principle as
the now well-known centrifugal
cream separator. v The foul oil Is fed
Continuously Into the, machine
through a strainer which catches any
gross particles, precisely as milk Is
fed Into the cream separator. The
purified oil escapes continuously. -
while the dust and dirt collect on the
Inner surface df tlie" separating drum.
Provision Is made by which the at
tendant can Instantly tell when the
machine is choked with the deposited
Impurities.

In the world, \vW soon also boast
the longest concrete arch upon the

traversing the Father of Waters. The
arch has a length of <400. feet. It con
sists of two separate ribs each 12 i
feet wide, .which .. are 17 -feet thick at
the base and eight ftgt thict-at the
crown, with a rise of 88 feet.
The main arch is flanked At each
end by two auxiliary arches, of which
one has a length of 199 feet and the
other 55; making the total extent of

Fair Bathers in Hard Uyck.
While ten exclusive society matrons
were bathing at Marinette, Wis., In
the cool waters of a little lake, on the
bank within a dressing tent lay ten
piles of clothing ? crepe de chine, char
meuse, filet lace, silk Teddy bears,
dainty corset covers, envelope che
mises and ruflled bloomers. A small
boy playing Indian came along, was
tempted by the filmy heap of lace,
"scratched a match on the seat of his
ragged trousers, and before the ladles
could say "Annette Kellerman J" the
dressing tent and all its contents had
gone up In flame and smoke. ? Boston
