FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The most important problem with which
this government is now called to deal, pertain
ing to it's foreign relations, concerns its duty
toward Spain and the Cuban insurrection.
Problems and conditions more or less in COM
mon with those now existing have confronted
this government at various times In the past
The story of Cuba for many years has been one
Of unrest; growing discomfort; an effort toward
larger enjoyment OF liberty and self-control;
OF organized resistance to the mother country;
of depression after distress and warfare, and
OF Intellectual settlement to be followed by re-
newed revolt For no enduring period since
the enfranchsement Of the continental posses
sion Of Spain In the western continent has the
condition OF Cuba, or the policy OF Spain to-

A modern man-of-war is about the
last place to look for a bicycle, yet on
nearly all the large steel craft
bicycles may be discovered tuck
ed away in out-of-the-way cor
ners. 1t would be difficult and
highly destructive of discipline for any
officer to use the wheel at sea, but it
must be remembered that a greater
part of the time the big cruisers and
battleships are tied up at some navy
yard or dry dock, or are stationed for
months anchored in some foreign har-
Dor. During these seasons of weary
waiting the wheel comes into use.
Where the officers are favored with
quarters large enough to stand up in,
many wheels may be seen aboard the
larger vessels. They are hung from
the ceiling by straps and cords. and
they swing there when the ship is at
sea or when they are not being used
by their owners. Among the younger
officers it is not quite the proper thing
to be without the cycle. \ golf suit is
also popular with the younger set. and
one is included III nearly every ward
robe procured upon graduation from

The arrest Of bleeding in surgical OPP

means of a recently invented instru-
ment. A platinum wire so arranged
as to carry current of electricity, is
enclosed in the blades of pair Of
steel forceps or any other required in

This arrangement being perfected a

CORN BURNED AS FUEL.



Made the Experiment.
There is an interesting discussion
going on among farmers as to the
value OF corn as fuel. Many of th-m
claim that corn is far superior to coal.
Others say that they do not like ne
idea of using a food such as corn for
fuel. Levi Gardiner, a prominent
Western farmer. speaking on this sub
jet, said:
Il have proved. after considera BILE
experience. Chat corn makes bet cr
and cheaper fuel than coal Last fall
had ten acres of corn. From This crop
not only had sufficient fuel lor whit
err and spring use but also fed two of
my horses and one COW with corn for
the same length of time" J. c. Beach,
an old settler at Island Lake. Mimi,
spoke in similar terms. He said:
"One winter | traded a large quantity
of my corn for wood | have always
regretted that trans elton. The wood
burned MP much more quickly than the
corn would have done Corn gives out
a great deal more heal per pound than
either wood or coal does. Corn is a
clean fuel 1t burns with an intense
heat. Some people don't like the idea
Of burning corn. Tney say ii is meant
FOR food and not tOi tuel Bat what
does that matter if il Saves thrm
money? Corn as fuel has TWO dis
advantages: First, it .iVes out such
