Throughout north Texas the heaviest
ruins in many years are reported,
causing tremendous loss to farmers
and stock growers flooding lowlands
and rendering country roads impassable.
hundreds of bridges having
been washed away.
At Fort Worth the Trinity river is
receeding, but street car traffic between
Fort Worth and North Fort
Worth will not be restored before torn
o now.
By employing every available man
in the city and dispatching them in
special trains to the seat of the trouble,
Fort Worth railroads Saturday
actively began to repair the $250,000
damage inflicted by Friday night's
storms.
North Fort Worth is isolated and
ive hundred houses are submerged.
Mineral City, near Weatherford, is
under water, and Clobourne. south of
here on the Santa Fe, is surrounded
by the flood. Engineer I/ong and
Fireman Allstip were found dead under
their engine. Their train left the
track in a washout a mile north of
Clobourne.
The flood sufferers have been provided
with shelter. Crops over a
large area have been destroyed and
the loss will reach over half a
million dollars. All night the police
Hied a continual volley of shots to
warn residents In the flood district

urea of the State, the country la literally
covered with water, all modes
of travel tiro demoralized and business

In every direction railroad bridges
aro down, hundreds of yards of track
have been washed away entirely and
other hundreds of yards so badly undermined
that rebuilding will be necessary.
If the weather sh >uld clear
immediately railroad traffic cannot be
restored to normal conditions in less
than too days.
The flood re u lied Fort Worth
about noon Saturday. At that time
city park and vicinity was inundated
to a depth of about ton feet. The
tracks of the street railway company
leading to Arlington Heights wan
washed away for a quarter of a mile,
and communication with that section
of the city was cut off.
Fnlly three thousand persons,
principally of the poorer classes, were
driven from their homes, in the submerged
district. Many of these arc
being cared for by charitable organizations
at the expense of the city.
The reservoirs and mains of the
water works system were overflowed
with the muddy water of the river,
and before thoy can bo cleared it Is
feared considerable slcknens may result.
While an accurate estimate of the
monetary loss at this time is impossible,
it is believed the loss will exceed
a million dollars.

ARTIFICIAL HONRY.
Inverted Sugar?Hotter Than Some
Kinds of I Joes Honey.
Prof. HerzfloUl of Germany re
eentlv brought out some Interesting
points regarding the manufacture ef

inxorsion of refined sugar in an *1most
complete manner and under
well-determlnd conditions, this sugar
Kolldlfys In the same way as natural *
honey, after standing for a long '
time and it can he easily redissohcd 1
by heating it. Owing to the in- '
creased reproduetion of artificial
honey, the bee cultivators have been '
agitating the question so as to protect
themselves, and it Is proposed t !
secure legislation to this effect, one
point being to oblige the manufac
turers t( add some hind of product. '
which will indicate tlu* artlllcial prod- 1
ttct. On the other hand, it is found '
that the addition of inverted sugar '
t nn'ural honey tends to improve its
quality, and especially to render it >
more easily digested. Seeing that
sugar is about the only alimentary
matter which 's produced in an nhso <
lutely pure state, its addition t<
honey car.not i>e strictly considere d
as an adulteration. Bees often take
products front flowers which have a <
had taste, and the chemist Keller
found that honey coming from the
chestnut tree sometimes has a disagreeable
flavor. i
Kfoni wheat flowers we find a
honey which lias n caste whlrli resemblos
blttei almonds. and honey ,
from as| nragus flowers is most unpal
stable. Honey taken from tho col/a
plant is of an oily nature, and that
taken from onions has the taste o
tin* latter. In such eases the hon?\\
is in ifli improved by the addition ??'
inverted su?;ir. l'rof. Mer/feld gives
a iiraetieal metliod of preparing this
form of sugar: We take l kilogram
('J.L' poundst of high quallH reilned
aiigr.r in a clean onainpl-ware vessel,
and add 30n cubic centimetres4 (Hi
fluid ounces) of water and 1.1
grannies (17 grains) tartaric acid
This is heated rt 1 10 deg. C. over an
open fire, stirring all the while, and
| is kept at this heat until the liquid
takes on a fine golden yellow color,
such operation lasting for about
three-quarters of an hour. My this
very simple process we can easilv
produce artificial honey. Numerous
extracts are now on the market for
giving the aroma of honey. However,
if we take the artificial product
made as above and add to it a natural
honey having a strong aroma,
such as that which is produced from
heath, we can obtain an excellent
semi-honey.- Scientific American.

The State says Capt. W. T. Thrower
of Cheraw, a prominent html>er
manufacturer of the Pee Dee section
of the State, was in Columbia Wed- *
nesday. He was proudly wearing a
Bryan button and expressed himself
most emphatically as favoring the
Nebraska!! for president.
"Not only will South Carolina give
Bryan her solid support, but raauy
Republicans of the North kiI liast
will rally to the support of th j Dem
ocratic standard bearer. I just, learned
the other day of a prominent
Washington man who had decived
his intention to support Bryan this
year, notwithstanding the face that
he has voted the Republican national
ticket all his life. Roosevelt Is too
spasmodic and the American people
do not want another Administration
such as his present one. Bryan
honest, he is big enough to occupy
the i>osition of chief executive of the
United States, and even Republicans
regard him highly for his intedrity?
and this year thousands will vote for
him who have Heretofore voted the
Republican ticket."
Capt. Thrower believes that South
Carolina should send a delegation to
Denver Instructed for Bryan, because
he firmly believes that Bryan is the
choice of the overwhelming majority
of the Democrats of the Statue. *
