Prof. Stutzer, speaking of the Dutch
process OF preparing Cocoa by the ad-
dition of potash, and of the process
common in Germany in which ammo
mia is added. says: The only result Of
these processes is to make the liquid
appear turbid TO the eye of the con-
sumer, without effecting real solu-
ton of the Cocoa substances. This ar
tificial manipulation for the purpose OF
so-called solubility Is, therefore, more
or less inspired by deception. and al
WAYS takes place at the cost of purity.
pleasant taste. useful action. and arc
matte flavor. The treatment of Cocoa
by such chemical means is entirely OBJ
iectionable. Cocoa treated
with potash or ammonia would be en-
tirely unstable but for the supple
mentary addition of artificial ilavors.
by which IA poor substitute for the
aroma driven out into the air is offered
to the consumer" The delicious Break

all tried and found wanting. as they

gave too much light or cast heavy
shadows Finally continental idea
was adopted. The walls OF the room
were painted white and under each OF

DR.. Becker Makes q Report on the Sub
ject to the Government.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 2.-Dr. George
f. Becker, geologist in charge on this
division of the United States geological
survey, has returned from Alaska, where
he has been making survey of the gold
and coal fields along the shore line. He
was accompanied by DR.. William H.
BAIL, who went to make a special re-
port ON the coal fields. This is
the first work that has ever
been done by the United States
geological survey in Alaska. He says
there is no doubt that Alaska is
going to be an active mining region but
he does not believe it will rival the Cali
fornia mining belt. The veins are not
30 large and well developed as they are
in this state.
There has been quite an excitement
this summer among the placers at the
head Of Cooks Irlet. The amount of
success thus far achieved hardly war
rants the amount of interest exhibited.
The profitable washings thus far are
confined to few miles ON Bear creek,
which empties into Turnagain arm.
