A NEW INDUSTRY.

A comparatively new industry, that of
making valuable products from dry corn
stalks, promises to do great deal in en-
hancing the value eff the corn crop here
after. Two factories at which corn stalk
cellulose and corn pith cellulose are man.
ufactured are now in operation, and it is
said that plans for eight more have been
completed. The Kansas City Star says
that "the men who have given most at
tention to the subject declare that the
discovery of the use that can be made of
corn pith is one Of the greatest scienti6c
achievements of the age, and such large
things are expected of it that the com

BURNING CUBAN TOWNS.
Consul TRAY and Friends Think the
Island WIN he Devastated
When We Take IT.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 25.-The
United States consul at Baracoa, Cubl,
Alfredo T. TRAY, his wife an6 child,
two Spanish merchants and % Cubans
and Spanish Americans, mostly women
and children from Guantanamo, have
debarked from the Ely here.
When the steamer left Guantanamo
on Friday last a Spanish mob, including
many soldiers, filled the public square
and adjacent streets yelling death to
the Yankees" Several American flags
were soiled, torn, trampled and treated
with elaborate unmentionable indigni-
ties. Some naturalized Americans were
compelled to take part in the insulting
work, on the threat of death If they re-
fused.
Orders TO the Spanish army declaring
the armistice ended were publicly posted
vt Guantanamo last Friday. Two days
previous the troops began concentrating
at the principal seacoast cities, abandon
ing the interior towns and plantations,
in many cases burning them. The pas
sengers by the Ely believe the dsvasta-
ton of that part of the island will be
completed before the Americans invade
the ports held by the Spaniards.

ASSAULTS UPON HAVANA.

The prospect that Havana may soon
be under bombardment recalls the fact
that the city has suffered several similar
attacks since it was founded in 1919. As
early as 1888 the town underwent its
first siege and was reduced to ashes by a
French privateer. Eighteen years
later the French again attacked the
town and almost destroyed it, So long
ago as 1909 the Spanish government
thought it necessary to erect the MORO
castle and Punta fortresses, which are
still in existence. French, English and
Dutch alike menaced the city, and there
was no little danger from pirates.
About the middle OF the seventeenth
century it was determined to build the
walls which still answer for the fortifica-
ton of the island. But the first actual
investment and capture of Havana by
the landing of troops occurred in 1862,
when British fleet under Lord Albe
marie took possession of the city. There
were fully 200 vessels in the attacking
fleets, and these carried an army of
$4,000, as against the Spanish army of
$1,000. After the payment of large
sum the island was restored to the
Spaniards in the following year.
II Havana is to be taken again il will
be but repetition, therefore, of three
previous capitulations, the capture ef.
fected by the British in 1852 being by
far the most important. The destruc-
ton at that time was by no means SO
severe, in proportion, as that in the
earlier assaults under the French, when
the town was practically annihilated.
There was stubborn defense, however,
and the city finally surrendered only
after military operation lasting from
June 6 to July 80. But both the town
and it's Notifications still stood at the
time of capitulation. The guns and the
naval equipments of that time, of course,
were mere toys as compared with the
enormously destructive weapons OF
modern times. -[Chicago Record.

A woman writer who gave up coffee
recently found that she was unable to
continue her writing with any success
until she had resorted again to the slim
u~lating beverage. Without it her mind
was logy and heavy. The Medical Times
quotes an authority on the subject Of
prescribing coffee as a medicine i'll Ger
tain states of great debility and adds:
Tea and coffee seem to be much
alike in many respects, but the latter is
greatly preferable as to its sustaining
power. 1t would be a great advantage
to our working classes and a great help
toward the further development of So
cial sobricty if coffee were to come into
greatly increased use and if tho ability
to make it well could be acquired. AS
an example of the difference of effect of
tea and coffee upon the nerves the
writer notes what he believes many
sportsmen will contirm-that it is far
better to drink coffee than tea when
shooting. Tea, if strong or in any guam
tity, especially if the individual be not
in very robust health, will induce a sort
of u which is very ~prejudicia!
to steady shooting. Under its influence
II is apt to shoot too quickly, whereas
coffee steadies the hand and gives quiet
