An Outbreak Imminent.

CURACOA, February 11.-News has
been received here from the southern
provinces OF the United States Of Co.
lumbia, which indicate that serious
outbreak against the Columbian govern
ment may be expected at any time. The
information reached here to-day from
CuCuta, in the Columbian Province Of
Pamplona, on the Venezuelan frontier,
and came via Merida and MaracaibO,
Venezuela.
The riots on Bogota have been fol-
lowed by troubles in various portions Of
the department OF Cundinamarca, of
which BogOta is the capital. Citizens
Of the department are making Violent
protests against the arbitrary acts OF
the government, and the entire depart
ment may be placed under martial law.
An outbreak is also daily expected in
the state Of Santander where the citi-
zens are probably better prepared for
revolution than in any other part Of the
Colombian Republic. Santander is near
the Venezuela frontier and its citizens
are we'll armed These arms were sold
TO the leaders OF the Liberal party In
Colombia by General Castro, who was
Governor OF the Venezuelan state Of
Tachira while Andueza Palacio was
President Of that Republic.
Three or four thousand rifles and a
large amount OF ammunition were sold
% General Castro TO Colombian liberals,
who appear to have been making ex-
tensive preparations for revolution.
There is considerable discomfort in the
departments OF Bolivar and Cauca, and
shrswd observers believe revolution
will soon be declared in all parts Of
Colombia.

A woman has been lecturinR in Chi
eago on "Cold feet in woman" 1t is
these cold feet on man that is generally
complained OF, but, however, here is
the lecturers recipe for curing them:
Take the drst and second fingers, begin
at the nape of the neck and follow down
the spine with tirmness. Repeat twice
or thrice. Then rub the hollow Il the foot.
This sounds well, but just one point
Is little obscure. Whose fingers are
they to be? Anatomically, it is clear
they must DO some one else's. How
ever, any person who has had his or
her vertebrae razzle-dazzled in this
way will bear us out on the assumption
that the operation must be a ticklish
one.

Lumber merchants have advanced the
price of lumber from 81 to 80 per thousand,
according to the grade, The reason OF
this advance is owing TO the fact that the
SIMPLY of lumber here is diminishing and
the greater part must come from the Can
adam forests TO meet the demand, hence
the additional expense for shipping falls on
the purchaser and therefore the cost OF
building will be about s per cent. higher
than il was last season.

Prof E. r. HUTTON is authority for
some statements regarding the use Of
crude oil for fuel that are worthy the
careful attention and Investigation,
particularly Of manufacturers.
The professor shows that from crude
oil it is possible TO secure a calOrihe
power OF $1,000 heat units, while the
calorifc power OF coal is only about
1900 heat units. In addition to this
greater heat aud increased efficiency
for the development Of power and melt
ing results, the professor gives the fol-
lowing significant incidental advant-
ages from the use Of the liquid fuel:
T. Diminished waste Of fuel from the
loss Of com0usuble with the ashes and
A reduction in the cost OF labor for
handling the fuel. which is two-fold. It is
possible for one man with oil fuel 10 take
care OF many more boilers than with solid
fuel
5. In cities il is a matter Of convenience
and economy not % provide for the dis
amount 70 200 to 500 pounds or more 70 the
ton. and, where the plant is large, have to
be provided Tor by special contract outside
OF the usual facilities offered BY the muni-
cipal government. There is no fine dust %

4. Where no firing tools are required less
injury is done 70 the brick work Of IRE
boxes, and crate bars do not deteriate.
8 Repairs % the brick work Of the ash
pit and the boiler room floors are dimin-
ished, as the tendency 70 crack when
