BLAINE PROTESTS


Against Cannda's Refusal to Issue Us
Copyrights.
OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 26. Secretary of
State for the Colonies Lord Knutsford,
has transmitted to the governor general
u dispatch received by Lord Salisbury
from Secretary Blaine protesting in the
strongest terms possible in diplomatic
intercourse against the refusal of the
Canadian government to graut copy
rights to American citizens.
Mr. Blaine recites the provisions of
the Simonds act of 1891 that the privi-
1ege of copyright in the United States
shall only apply to srch foreign states
as grant similar privileges to American
citizens. Great Britain, through Lord
Salisbury, agreed to this, and declared
the law of copyright in force in all
British possessions.
Mr.. Blaine points out that application
by Americans for Canadian copyright
has been refused by advice of the Cana
dian minister of justice and informs
Lord Salisbury, in effect, that the re-
fusal of the Canadian government, If
sustained, will constitute breach of
faith on the part of Great Britain.
Minister of Justice Thompson was
interviewed yesterday in regard to the
matter, and said he did not consider the
arrangement with Great Britain as n
treaty, and consequently the statute
law of Canada compelled him to refuse
copyright in Canada to citizen of the
United States,

Manuscripts That Are Plainly LegibIs
After Many Centuries.
The labor required in making the
manuscript books of ancient days was
far beyond the understanding of the
men OF the present day who possessed
all the modern adiuncts to that art. A.
these books were intended to last TO
many years. answering the same pu!-
pose as our printed tones the great
desideratum in their preparation was
durability AS natural consequence,
those who made them not only selected
the best quality of parchment or other
material to write upon, but also paid
particular attention to the quality OF
the ink used in such work
That they were successful in making
the latter is evidenced by the fact that
in the majority of instances the charac-
ters inscribed on the most ancient man.
uscript rolls now preserved in the Brit
ish museum and elsewhere are very leg
ible, the ink being bright and black and
showing but little evidence OF its great
age. 1t is supposed that the superior
quality Of lampblacll, prepared in q
manner now unknown, was the true
cause of this beautiful and lasting color
of the ink in question.
Ink of various hucs was used by the
ancient Romans, that of purple tint
being considered the exclusive fluid for
the execution of all royal writings, as
it was distinctively the royal color. 1t
is said that llomer's works We're written
in letters of gold on n roll one hundred
aud twenty feet in length, formed of
the intcstincs of serpents, but we are
left in ignorance as to the method of
preparing this ink.
The pens used by the eastern and
other nations We're fashioned from reeds,
which were well suited to the broad
characters of the writing done with
them. Specimens of these pens We're
found in the ruins of Pompeii which
were cut like the quill pens used by our
forefathers, with the exception that the
nib was much broader
About the year 900 A. ID. pens made
of Quills were introduced. This is shown
by the fact that the word penua, quill,
is not found it is claimed, in any work
bearing an earlier date. Previous to
that time the word calamus signifying
a reed, was exclusively employed as Il
designation Tor the vehicle used in
transferring the ink to the parchment

New York, Feb. 27.--The World
says: Preparations for another Cuban
revolution are in progress in this and
other American cities as well as upon
the island itself The movement is
stated on good authority to be
the largest and most completely
organized ever inaugurated for Cuban
independence. There are said to be
5000 Cuban patriots in this country
ready to join in the war In Cuba the
revolutionist party is also actively pre-
pairing for the outbreak, and when the
word is given the forces on Spanish and
United States soil will act in conjunc-
ton for the overthrow of the Spanish
yoke. In several cities of this
country these revolutionists are
holding meetings, raising money,
purchasing equipments and plan
ming a campaign, At the end of the
last Cuban revolution there was gen.
eral stampede of those who took part
in the insurrection for country in
which their lives were safer. Thou
sands of defeated Cubans settled in
Florida, where many found work as
cigarmakers, while others came to New
York. These are the people who are
now preparing to make things lively

known fact that in the summer season
nature demands acids. In a. very hot
day, the fountain in the city, where
clean, ice-cold buttermilk is served
fresh from the churn, will have more
patrons than a beer saloon. We have
suspicion that acidity means serious
damage to the young, that there is
stage when the kind of acidity we get
in buttermilk-bonny clabber and
clabbered milk is healthful. The ex-
pertinent station Of Vermont has re-
Gently been making experiments which
seem to show there is more value in
the Tactic acid of buttermilk than we
have been suspecting, and we suspect
that, as in SO many other cases, there is
an atom atleast of truth in the position
taken by the farmers as to the value
of acids in aiding the digestion of pigs.
In this experiment it is maintained
that where pigs are fed on clabbered
milk as against sweet milk the gain on
the clabbered milk was l.8O pounds
per day, while on the sweet milk a
gain of .97 pounds only was made per
day. The experimenter also claims
that recent experiments in Germ any
show that Tactic acid, like many Of
the vegetable acids is an aid to diges-
ton and has real feeding value. This
is another of the points that needs to
be gone into carefully by our expert
ment stations. We want to ascertai n
the truth and the whole truth that
may be underlying the beliefs OF
farmers on this and every other ques
ton.
