KINGSTON FORTIFICATIONS.
Mr. Borden, in reply to Mr. Britton,
said that the matter of the condition
of the fortifications at Kingston was
under the consideration of the Govern-'
ment, and the officers of the Militia
Department had been asked to snake
a special report concerning them.

COMMANDER WAKEHAM'S CASE.
Mr. Davies informed Sir Adolphe
Caron that no charge had been prefer-
red against Commander Wakeham, of
the fisheries protection service, and his
removal had therefore not been consid-
ered.
DAIRY PRODUCTS ACT.
Mr. Fisher introduced a. bill to amend
the Dairy Products Act. He had, he
said, been requested by Mr. McLennan
to adopt the tatter's bill, which had al-
ready received ,its second reading, as
a Government measure, in view of the
unlikelihood that a private member's
bill would pass at this late period of
the session. He had looked into the
matter and found that although he was
not able to accept Mr. McLennan's bill
in its entirety, or to adopt it as a Gov-
ernment measure, he could introduce
a bill which might meet the necessi-
ties of the case. It was not possible to
pass the bill during the present session,
but its introduction would enable it to
be brought before the various dairy
meetings and conventions to be held
during the fall, when the details could
be threshed out. This would lead to
the people iaterested in the dairy indus-
try making representations to the Gov-
ernment, whereby a satisfactory mea-
sure might be introduced and passed
next session. It was proposed that
dairy products should not only be
branded. as now, with the word "Can-
adian," but that the name or number
of the factory at which they were
manufactured should be stamped upon
them., In the case of cheese the date
t production was to be placed upon
HER MAJESTY'S REIGN.
Sir Charles Tupper drew Mr. Lauri
er's attention to the fact that her Ma-
jesty had just completed a longer reign
than any other British sovereign, and
suggested that it would be a fitting op-
portu,nity far the House to pass an ad-
dress of coaigratulation.
Mr. Laurier replied that he would be
quite willing to confer privately with
the leader of the Opposition in regard
to the, matter. It might be proper to
take such a step as that suggested, but
he had abstained from doing so for cer-
tain reasons that he would mention pxi-
vately to Sir Charles Tupper.

Qn the item of $800 for the removal
of this Lake of Two Mountain In..
diens, Mr. Bergeron enquired how the
removal of the Indians from Oka to
Gibson reserve, in the Lake Superior dis-
trict was proceeding.
Mr. Laurier replied that the In-
diens showed very little disposition to
change their place of abode. Some few
families had gone. The Government

IN SUPPLY.
The House then went into Commit -
Tse of Supply.
On the item of $84,915 for immigra-
tion expenses, Mr. Laurier spoke briefly
on the immigration policy of the Gov-
ernment. While he did not altogether
approve of the system that had been
followed by his predecessors, yet he
was in entire sympathy with the ef-
forts that had been made to induce
immigration from the Western States
to Western Canada. There were two
events which will likely play an im-
portant part in the development of our
North,West. One was the rapid fill-
ing up of the fertile belt of the United
States, which must result in an ex-
tensive overflow to this side of the
line. This was already taking place,
and there was a steady current now
coming over. The other phenomenon
likely to take place wag that before
long the United States would become
a vast market far the surplus wheat
of the North-West. He believed that
the Government would have the sup-
port of both sides of the House in
carrying out a vigorous immigration
policy.
intended to continue the policy of the
late Administration in this regard.
The item, svgs agreed to.
GRAIN STANDARDS.
Sir Henri Joly ,in answer to a ques-
tion by Mr. Davin, in connection with
tbe estimates of his department, said
tint ,an order -in -Council had been pass-
ed for the purpose of organizing a
board tie sit at 'Winnipeg for the set-
tlement of the grain standards. On
this board the farmers would have one-
half of the representation and the mil-
lers and dealers the other half. The
first and second grades of wheat
would be raised, and scoured wheat
would become a grade by itself. It was
also intended that the standarde should
be permanent.
THE BEET SUGAR INDUSTRY.
Its Remarkable Growth iu Germany,
France and Austria.
Nearly a century and a half has pass-
ed, since Mlaggraf, a German scholar,
announced in 1747 to the Berlin Acad-
emy of Science }cis discovery of a. meth-
od of producing sugar from the beet.
Half a century later, his pupil, Achard,
explained to the same academy his im-
provements in that process., Then the
industry began to grow steadily, and
under the encouragement of Napoleon
it made considerable progress in France.
Indeed, during the ware of Napoleon,
when the sugar -laden merchantmen of
France and of Germany, coming from
the West Indies, were so harassed as to
be nearly driven from the seas, the
tunes were favorable'to beet sugar pro-
duction in Europe., The decade follow-
ing, 1815 saw a great reaction, with the
beet fields of France and Germany,
largely turned to other uses, and the.
beet
sugar factories mostly closed. Than
came a revival that lasted. The beet
sugar industry was destined) however,
to remain still a long time a target for
the humorists, and one grave statesman
compared it with the project of Swift's 1
famous philosopher who sought to ex-
tract sunbeams from cucumbers: But
it grew in spite of ridicule. Mr. E.
North who in the American Re-
view, urges a. wider field for it lass Am-
erica says that the production of beet
sugar in France for the year ending
July, 31, 1830, was 4,380 toms; in 1810 it
was 22,784, in 1850 it was 62,165, in
1800 it was 126,479, tai 1870 it was 282,-
136, in 1890 it has reached 750,000 tons.
Again in 1830, the consumption per per-
son in France was two pounds; in 1865,
fourtenn pounds; in 1890, twenty-six
pounds.
A like growth in Germany is noted
during a period of about fifty years:
Sugar, ton.. Molasses, tons.
For 1840.......... 13,445 8,955
For 1850.... ...... 52,586 19,877
For 1869.......... 126,526 85,224
For 1865.......... 180,000 50,514
For 1871-72. „.... I86,442 63,892
For 1881-82. ,..... 509,722 150,813
For 1889-90.......1,213,6.9 240,797
Indeed, beet sugar has for Germany
become an imortant article of export.
In the year 1877 the amount sent out
of the country was 57,753 tons. Ten
years later it had increased more than
tenfold, to 643,310 tons while in 1890 it
had reached 718,985 tonsi In 1890 cur
country paid Germany $16,000,000 for
about 200,009 tons of beet sugar, and Mr.
Sowers observes that this was "nearly
three times more than it paid for any
other article, imported from that land.
During the last sixty years such im-
provements have been made in the pro-
cess of manufacture that, instead of con-
verting from four to five per cent. of
the beet into sugar, 12 to 16 per cent.
are converted now, and the cost of
production per pound which was once
from 18 to 21 cents, is now from two to
four. The average cast here in 1893 was
three cents, and 24,000 acres were used
for growing sugar beets, which brought
to the farmer an average price of $4.50
a ton. An acre produced 3,661 to 4,620
pounds of sugar In that year there
were seven factories in the country,with
capital of about $.:,000,000.
If the figures of Mr. Sowers are cor-
rect the annual consumption of sugar
per capita in Germany is 18 hounds; in
France and Switzerland, 26; in the Un-
ited States, 44, and in England, GO. These
are extraordinary differences, and Eng-
land appears as having the sweet tooth.
We are further assured that France,
Germany and Austria, produce beet sug-
ar enough for home consumption, and
import little sugar, while Germany and
France export large quantities. In 1892
Germany sold to English purchasers
alone nearly 600,000 tons of beet sugar,
the product of their factories and fields.
NOVEL FIRE ENGINE.
Two Tandem Bicycles Propelled By Cycl-
ing Firemen.
In Paris is to be seen a fire engine
propelled by cycling firemen. The ma-
chine has the appearance of two tan-
dem bicycles, coupled with a single
steering post. Hanging between the
bicycle frames are the hose reel and a
rotary pump. The whole outfit weighs
lees than 140 pounds, and four experi,.
eneed wlieelnnen can push this along
faster than any other fire engine ever
went. The foot power of the four men
propels the machine to the scene of ac-
tion, and when once there the same
power pumps the water. After the ar-
rival at the scene each man is assigned
to some part of the duty of making the
change. One raises the back of the ma-
chine on a leg allowing the rear wheels
to revolve freely. He also throws the
pump into working order, and the oth-
ers ,have unreeled the hose and made
the coupling connections. Then, jump -
bag into the saddles again the energies
of the mem are directed to pumping.
About4,500 velum of water per hour
can be thrown between 75 and 100 feet
ice the air. The rapidity with which
the machine can be propeliled to a fire
and also with which it can be put in-
to astion wee its two great advantages.
In two or three mututesg after its ar-
rival all necessary changes can be made
and the machine is pumping a stream
over the roof.

THE CZAR'S VISIT.
DterSfalking, Grouse -Shooting, and nil.
liluds Occupy the Czar's Time -Strict
Court Etiquette Observed at Balmoral
Castle -The Cznr's Cifts.
A despatch from London, says: --The
Czar's time at Balmoral is mainly de-
voted to deer stalking, grouse shooting,
in arranged battues, and to billiard
playing. When he is not interested
in these or other amusements, he is sup-
posed to be concerned with politics. His
presence at Balmoral heat changed the
usual current of court life there. Hith-
erto court etiquette has been relaxed
at Balmoral; with the Czar's coming it
has been rigidly enforced. This implies
the attendance of an immense number
of officials and uliderlings. The Master
of the Herse, the Lord Chamberlain,
and all other court officials, have
orawded into B.alxnoral, overtaxing its
accommodations, so Abergeldie castle
hag been prepared for the overflow of
guests, and a temporary frame house
has been erected between , the court
yard and the stables of Balmoral
castle, where the domestics and suite
followers are lodged. The Queen has
caused a private chapel, recently fitted
up for her personal use, to be convert-
ed into a chapel for Russian orthodox
worship, with all the accessories of
vestments, crucifixes, communion
plates and sacred ikons.
The cost of the Czar's visit, in the
way of momentoes, gifts, and tips, will
be enormous, When Nicholas 1. visit-
ed London and Windsor in 1844, he gave
£8,000 in charities, 43,000 to the ser-
vants at Windsor, £3,000 worth of dia-
monds to the Court ladies, twelve gold
snuff boxes set in diamonds to the
Lords, grooms -in -waiting, and equer-
ries, and more than a hundred watches,
brooches, rengs, and other presents.
The present Czar is expected to at
least equal his ancestor in the munifi-
cence of his gifts. • It is 'understood

The visit has revived a romantic
story, first published in England in
1854, and periodically revived. It riuis
that the Czar Paul, while visiting in
London, became enamoured of a
beautiful Scotch woman named Mac-
Gregor, and took her to Russia, where
she became the mother of Nicholas
great grandfather of the present Czar.

WATER GAS FOR LIGHT.
Prof. Ira Remsen describes in Science
a curious case of the accumulation of
marsh gas under ice. A number of
skaters were on a large artificial lake
covered with ice. In places white spots
were' noticed in the ice, suggesting air
bubbles. A bole was 'bored in the ince
and a match applied. The thin jet
of £lane burst up and the gas was found
to be marsh gas, formed by the decom-
position of organic matter at the bot-'
1. tom of. the lake. Prof. Remsen suggests
1 that skating ponds illuminated by na-
tural gas are among the possibilities of
the future.
