"Jacob Terry" (Mr R. J. Creighton) writing to the Otago Daily Times, says that the cultivation of beetroot for sugar manufacturing purposes has proved a complete failure in California. It was found that makiDg the sugar did not. pay. Since Dr Tanner's famous feat fasting girla have been somewhat at a discount, and there was some fear lest the race was becoming extinct. It is therefore, with a sense of relief that we hear of a youngAmerican girl who has been entirely without food for the last five months. Up to the age of eighteen, Kate Smulsey, of Fort Plain, New York, had been{ a bright and industrial dressmaker, until two years ago when she contracted a disease which has kept her to her bed almost ever since. The first symptoms were a trembling and shaking of the right hand, which gradually spread over the whole body. She swayed incessantly from side to side at the rate of fifty mo vements per minute. When at last she fell asleep from sheer exhaustion, she lay perfectly motionless, but was awakened by the slightest noise, and at once the swaying recommenced. During the early part of the disease Miss Smulsey was still able to take some nourishment, but before long any solid food caused her the greatest pain, and at present she has even ceased to take milk or water, beverages causing a fearful swelling in the body. The opinions of physicians are divided, most of them going away puzzled, while others believe the disease to be a case of normal dropsy or a peculiar form of the St. Vitus's dance. The 166th day of her fast was reached on August 22.
