SPAIN,S ENTIRE.

When Spain gets her quarrel with the United States composed she will by no means be out of trouble. "A Spaniard" points out in the Fortnightly that her burden of taxation will be terrible. The public debt, swollen by the ex- penses of the war, will foot up more than $2,OO0OO0,0OO, the annual interest charge on which will amount to $140,- 000,000. Yet the entire national revenue in prosperous years has not been much more than $150,000,000. Population or bankruptcy lies clearly in those figures Then there will follow the destruction of those industries which the colonies have been made to support, turning thousands of operatives out of employ- ment. More than 100000 soldiers will likewise be set adrift, and 30,0OO officers put on the retired list, where the pay for a captain eff he Is lucky enough to get it at alp is about sixty cents a day When all these helpless multitudes be- gin to feel the pinch of hunger, then, says this Spanish writer the ''tocsin of the revolution" will sound and it will depend upon the army whether Spain shall be Carlist or Republican, In any case, he thinks it out of the power of any party ito extricate my unfortunate, much-beloved Spain from the abyss on the edge of which she is now totter- ing'
 Spain's future is certainly not prom ising, but it is the entirely consistent result of her past.

SOLDIERS WHO CAN DO THINGS.

The United States soldier is a re- sourceful chap. It is related that dur ing the civil war some of the Union forces found a locomotive which had been disabled by the Confederates. That locomotive was needed for ir1- mediate use. Inquiry was made if any, body knew how to fix it, and soldier who had helped make it went to work on it and soon had 1t in running or der. The other day in Porto Rico the United States troops came across barbed wire fence. 1t wasn't useful to them as fence, and so Colonel Will liam A. Glassford, of the United States Signal corps, took six men with key boards and proceeded to transform the barbed wire fence into telegraph line He unwound the wire from it's fasten- ings at the posts, fixed insulators on certain posts on which it rested, and within two hours he had transformed five miles of barbed wire fellce into telegraph line, whereby the advance force of the Americans was kept in constant communication with head quarters.
 It's hard to beat such soldiers. AL together too hard for Spaniards.

FASHION NOTES.
women's Feet i'm "sneakers.,

It seems as if taffeta might have to give way, at last, to softer silken weaves. It has had a long spell of be- ing in style, and the freedom with which it was used for Things, trim mings and whole garments was re- markable, Surah is the silk that threatens to displace it, and some new dresses, marked for early fall by their adherence in some degree to summer standards, are so attractive as to in- troduce the new applicant very favor ably. The artist puts one of these con- vincers here. Though styled a fall model, it was in white, the skirt fin- ished with lace ruffle headed by

band of embroidery of green figures divided by tucked squares. The bodice was tucked surah embroidered with green threads and hooked at the side. Green taffeta lined the whole and gave yoke, collar, belt and sash.
 Outing women wear sneakers" this year. No matter how tiny or how big the foot, it is regarded as the only right foot wear, especially for sea or lake shore, where a girl of any account is sure to have yacht friends and is therefore liable to an invitation board To go aboard with heels is deemed bad form, so the dainty heeled shoe is not seen and the sneaker reigns. She who buys ooze leather ones with corrugated felt sole and pays a lot is no better off than the girl who gets hers ready made for all feet look alike in sneak CTS.
 Sleeve links are the only right wear. Beware of dumb bells. So many cheap things are offered that you must buy good cuff buttons or run the risk of spelling the outfit. Shirts are made to button down the front and except in the very stiff and man. tailored shirts SluuS are not Leeueu II you wear linen collars and cuffs, have plenty of links and collar buttons. Remember the freshness of a collar is judged by the inside, not the outside. The slight est show of wear at the end makes a collar less than fresh, and that means soiled. There is no fairly clean'' linen, just as there are no somewhat fresh" eggs. Eggs are good or bad; so is linen. So to keep yourself in or der you will need at least two dozen collars, as many pairs of cuffs, and constant watchfulness besides.

The Kansas City Journal pertinently remarks that there Is nothing surpris- ing in the fact that a dozen persons were caught by scheme to make gold from sea water, when we consider that several millions of their fellow citizens were recently deluded into believing that a dollar could be made out of fifty cents worth of silver.

The director of the United States mint calculates that the worlds gold production for 1898 will amount to $275. 100000, which is more than double that of gold and silver prior to 1890, all most treble that of gold for 1882 and more than double that of gold for 1891. It is instructive to note that in 1888 the worlds gold production amounted only to $95, 5,4O0,000. Five years later it was $110, 0,196,9 300. Tn 1898 1t had increas- ed to s157, 300. This grew to s2o2,- 956,0eo in 1SS6. Last year the total was s240 000, ,00O.

A new process for making petroleum briquettes-one by which petroleum refuse is worked up in such manner as to assume the form of a solid sub- stance, easily handled and constituting a cheap and convenient fuel-has been brought forward by a Bavarian inven- tor, Joseph Kohlendorfer of Landshut. soda lye, with 10 per cent. of any kind of fatty matter, such as tallow, is treated in boiler, either by super heated steam or the exclusion of air, and enough petroleum refuse is added to the heated mass to make up 100 parts. This mixture is then heated, under constant stirring for about one hour, the time varying with the mode and intensity of heating. Attention is paid to prevent the temperature from reach ing the boiling point of petroleum, as in such case a large quantity of froth re- suits. In this incipient state of saponi- fication the mass acquires the property of taking up large quantities of fluid rock oil, and if this incorporation pro ceeds to slowly or remains incom- plete. it may be hastened by the addi- tiou of little soda lye. The mixture

The fact that tin is only sparingly distributed throughout the world is brought to notice by an Australian geologist, MT. B. J. Skertchley, who has published a monograph upon the subject. While the known gold fields of the world cover more than 100000 square miles, the tin fields have an area of less than 12,5O0 square miles. Thus, for every square mile of tin ground, there are l32 square miles of gold bearing country. There are seven tin districts in Europe, producing about $500 tons yearly, of which the Cornish mines yield about 5000 tons. Asia has two tin areas-Hunan in China, esti- mated by some of the best authorities to produce 10000 to 10000 tons a year, but proved by official figures to yield less than 2,500 tons, and the Straits Set dement's and adjacent principalities, yielding 5S,000 tons yearly-the richest in the world. Africa has no known tin mine; North America, no payable mine; South America, only one tin area, Ro- livia and Peru yielding less than 4,0OO tons a year, and Australasia, the youngest, contributes about GOOD tons year.
