A DRY process for extracting gold has
been devised, the ore being subjected to
the action of spray OF mercury. A
wide iron pipe is bent into spiral, and
holds at the bottom of each bend guam
tity of mercury, which does not com
pletely close the passage. The ore,
ground fine, enters this through hop
per and is blown through by current
of air, which forces the mercury into a
spray, so that it comes in contact with
the particles of gold in the powdered ore
which is being blown through. The
golo amalgamates with the mercury.
The dust is carried on to the next bend,
where it gees through the same process,
and this is repeated as often as is neces-
sary. In the trials with coarse gold
dust most OF the gold was recovered at
the first bend.

Ta,E nKssAGE OF THE PRESIDENT

The Vi:glnian presents to-day the
message of the Pres! dent to Congress. 1t
Is very important paper. reviewing;
fully domestic and foreign relations. His
dealing with the Cuban question is the
most interesting feature. while his state
ments of our army and naval strength
and requirements. as well as the subject
Of coast defences, will also command
more than usual attention.
The Pre-: ident states in relation 10 the
Cuban matter, that some months ago
he intimated to the Government of
Spain through the State Department,
the suggestion of home rule" for the
Cubans, and that If Spain would tender
such a proposition, the United States
would gladly offer its services TO secure
the success of the same. He states that
no definin;e response has been received
from the Spanish government, but he is
inclined To the belief 1t Will be looked
upon favorably, and. If So he sees no
reason why It should not meet with the
approval of the Cubans.
The message discusses the finances of
the government, the tariff. the civil SER
vice. and the various reports of the de-
plrtmeuts OF the government.

POTATOES AND ALCOHOL.

A witness before the Congre ssional
Committee which was appointed during
the last session of Congress to inves III
gate the alcohol trade. having testified
that proprietary medicines are sold in
Europe at less cost than in the United
States. because the alcohol used in them
Is manufactured in Germany from po-
tatoes. the Boston Advertiser sees in
such manufacturing new industry
which might be started in this country
with profit, and says:
IF alcohol can be produced from
potatoes, and II is good enough to
take as beverage. which is use
to which many proprietary medi-
cines are put, the fact opens up an
immense field of possibilities in this
country. We have large areas Of
land even in New Egland, on which
potatoes can be raised so politically
that they could be made to yield a
large crop. This is especially true Of
Maine"
The Advertiser Is right in its conclu-
sious. in that the use of the potato
in the manufacture OF alcohol might be
made q profitable industry in this coun-
try, but seeing that Maine Is Prohibit
ton State, and has been for years, the
people Of that State are not apt 10 take
kindly to the suggestion that the new
industry could be made especially pro-
fitable there.

THEATRE ADVERTISING.

1t Is learned from the Philadelphia
Ledger that considerable discussion has
arisen throughout the country over the
announcement OF n well known New
York theatrical manager, that he will
discontinue the use of billboards and
Autographed posters and conline him
self hereafter to the use OF the news
papers to advertise his business
The argument used by this manager
is that the gaudy pictures, which are
designed to present the most attractive
scenes of his plays and which were eff
fective for that purpose when the bill
board style Of advertising was used by
the theatres exclusively, or nearly so,
are now SO crowded by Il multitude of
other pictures advertising various bust
ness enterprises that they are practi-
cally lost and do not pay for the ex-
| penses of putting them up. This is
true, and 1t should no longer be IA de-
batable question whether advertising on
dead walls pays as we'll as that in the
| newspapers. The two classes have al
| ways been entirely dstinct-thc first
consisting mainly of colored pictures
and the latter almost wholly of reading

would be the gamer If all theatrical
managers would follow the example OF

MADE coon THEIR PROMISE.

Some time ago Generals Gomez and
Maceo, the insurgent leaders in Cuba,
were credited with saying that when
the insurgents get ready they would
enter the town Of Guanabacoa, and the
promise was made good on Friday last,
when the insurgents made q dash for
the town and captured it,
Guanabacoa is almost directly under
the guns of Moro Castle, Weyler's ia
nous prison home, and is only about
two miles around the bay from Havana.
1t appears that the garrison of the
town was overtaken by surprise and
the men who were not captured fled
to Havana.
\ regiment was sent from Havana to
help the Governor of Guanabacoa, but
the insurgents retired after burning a
great number OF houses and selling n
large amount of arms and ammunition
This seizure was one object of the raid;
the other was to distract the Spanish
force from the Province of Pinar del
Rio. In Havana the first intimation of
the attack was given by the flames.
The capture of Guanabacoa, so near
Havana, naturally alarms the people of
the latter place less the insurgents may
take 1t in their heads to invade that
city also. 1t Is said that the order to
attach Guanabacoa came direct from
General Gomez, who Is marching east
ward. and is expected soon to arrive
near Havana.
