valuable Patents Set Aside.

The high court at Pretoria, the capital of
the South African Republic, has declared
void the Macarthur Forrest patents for
what is known as the cyanide process for
the recovery of gold. This process, as
is well known, extracts the precious ore
when 1t exists in condition of fine sub
division, making even the refuse, after the
coarse gold is gathered, extremely valuable.
Nearly half the gold mined in the Rand
district in Africa is obtained by this pro-
cess; in the year 1894, $4,000, 900 worth
were thus extracted at a profit over the
cost of the process of about $7,375, 900.
The process is not an old one. 1t was only
about five years ago that two Scotchmen,
named Macarthur and Forrest, took out
patents all over the world-one for dis
solving the gold from its ores by the use of
a dilute solution of the cyanide of potas-
stun; the other, covering process of re-
covering the gold by passing the cyanide
solution over zinc shavings in long tanks.
Unfortunately for the inventors they
charged excessive royalties This led the
gold miners of the Transvaal to combine to
overthrow the patents. They claimed that
| they should be set aside because of lack
of novelty. They collected testimony in
this country, England, Australia and New
Zealand going to prove that the chemical
facts on which the process is based were
known and published long ago, and that
the process itself had been experimentally
used in this country in 1885. This testi-
mony was considered conclusive by the
South African court, and in that country,
at least, no more royalties can be collected.
The miners there will save millions of dol
lars by this decision. Their successful
fight will doubtless lead to suits for the
overthrow of these patents on this side of
the Administrators Herald.

YOU HAVE WAITED FOR THIS q

There are many people who would be glad to
abandon the habit of drinking coffee II they could
only find some substitute for it. That substitute
is Grain o, made from pure grains and, in the
opinion Of those who have given 1t thorough
trial, beverage in every way preferable to cof-
fee. Grain. o is not a stimulant it is something
better. 1t is cheering, nutritious and strength
ening. In other words 1t is food drink coffee
is not 1t is acceptable to the most delicate
stomach, and agrees even with confirmed dyspep-
tics. .Unlike.coffee Grain-o produces no nervous
action. 1t never nterferes with sleep, AS for the
tavor.of Gram o. people,who use II say that after
using 1t a week or two they like it's taste better
han that of coffee. Grain-o is sold by all groeeTs
at 15c. and.25c per package. Try it.

An odd example of the irony of politics
is that of the new states, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Utah,
Idaho and Washington, which were ad-
mitted TO the Union through Republican
legislation a d because it was felt they
could be depended upon to stand by the
Republican party. Every one of them
except North Dakota voted for Bryan, and
that state gave the Republicans only one
vote out of three in 1892.

burg says: The official Journal
de st. Petersburg, in the course OF
strong article on Spaiu's deter
mined efforts TO suppress the in
surrection in Cuba SAYS: The re-
bellion is merely organized brig
andage, hence the insurgents have
no right TO be considered belliger-
ents. There are now even rebel
provinces. The revolt has consisted
merely OF bands who have overruu
the country giving themselves
over to depredatiors and retiring
when the troops arrived. 1t
is sufficient, says the journal, to
state that the chiefs OF the insur-
rection are negroes like Maceo or
strangers like Roloff land MAKING
Gomez. They have in their pos.
session neither a coast line nor any
seaports placing them in connec.
tion with foreign countries.
