Salt.

There are many interesting facts con.
neoted with salt which it is we'll some.
times to remember. To begin with the
name itself, . curious fact is to be noted.
Salt was formerly regarded as compound
resulting from the union Of hydroohloric
Tor, as it used to be called, muriatic) acid
and soda, and hence the generic term Of
salt was applied to all substances produced
by the combination Of q base with an
acid.
Sir Humphry Davy, however, showed
that during their action on each other
both the acid and the alkali underwent
decomposition, and that, while water 10
formed by the union Of the oxygen Of the
alkali and the hydrogen of the acid, the
sodium of the former combines with the
chlorine of the latter to form chloride of
sodium, and this term is the scientific des-
ignation of salt, which, paradoxical as it
may seem, ts not q salt. At one time nearly
the whole Of the salt used as food and for
industrial purposes'was obtained from the
sea-, and tn many countries where the eli
mate is'dry and warm and which have q
convenient seaboard n great quantity Of
salt Is still obtained. In Portugal more
than 100000 tons are annually produced,
and the same quantity approximately is
obtained on the Atlantic and Mediterra-
mean coasts Of France. Spain has salt works
in tho Baleario islands, the bayNof Cadiz
and elsewhere, which turn out annually
10000 tone, and even the small seaboard
Of Austria produces from 10000 to 1OO,-
600 tons.-New York Ledger.

A correspondent in Mortified, Mass,
desires our opinion on the question:"Were
the winters of 80 OF rs years 9 much
colder OF were the snowfalls deeper than
at PRESENT. The opinion is widely held
that the winters were colder and the snow
falls deeper, but I can find nothing to>|
warrant the belief except that in the first
part Of the century a much larger percent.
age Of the population lived in the hill
towns OF in the interior, which are both
colder than the valley or tho coast towns"
On the general question as to appreci.
able changes in climate the editors opin-
ion Is that there has been no such change
In any respect whatever so far as meteor
ology proper is concerned. If we divide
our records of the weather recorded in
North America since the days Of Colum-
bus into two periods-viz, before and after
the year 1s00-wo shall find that every
popularity, such as remarkable storms,
winds, rains, floods, frosts, etc., recorded
in the current century can be matched by
a corresponding remarkable event before
the year 1900. Tho popular impressions
alluded to by our correspondent result al
most entirely from the imperfections of
our records and especially of our mem-
cries. There Is a large class Of persons
whose habits of thought arc SO crude that
when they experience any very remark
able weather they jump to tho conclusion
that the climate has changed, forgetting
that they themselves nave had such u lin
ited personal experience that they are not
fair judges of tho weather over the whole
country or of tho climate of a century.
Our correspondent seems to suggest that
q certain change in the habits of the peo-
pie, such as the removal from the interior
to the coast or from forests to prairies, or
from country or city, or vice versa, will
partly account for widespread errors in re-
spect to the climate. The suggestion is
excellent, but the editor would DO inclined
to interpret the phenomenon somewhat
differently. The general movement of tho
population IL tho past century has been
from tho Atlantic states westward, and
from the country to the city, or quite Op.
posite to tho movement suggested by our
correspondent. In fact, we find no real
agreement in the so called popular tradi-
tions with regard to the weather. We have
met with quite as many persons who
think the winters are more severe as with
those who think the winters are less So
we're than formerly. Everything seems to
depend upon how and where the "oldest
inhabitant" lived when he was q boy as
compared with his present condition. The
average climate of New England SO far as
tho weather is concerned has not appreci-
ably changed since the days when her old
est forest trees wero young saplings, and
that carries us back nearly 500 years.

Not Unwelc me.

1t looks like war, but if it comes it
is not TO be dep!ored.
There are times when the passion S,
the wrongs, the tyranies, the oppre
sions and cruelties of nations make a
clearing of the air indispensable. The
crimes, multifold and merciless in de,
tail, which, with only brief intervals,
have continued in Cuba through the
watches of century, and which has
converted the once fairest spot on earth
into new Golgotha, and which cul-
minated in the assassination in their
sleep Of two hundred and sixty-six
lives of men who wore the Uniform Of
american seamen and were defenders
of our flag, have filled the cup of bitter
ness, and that rule must pass away.
our nation we're not to perform the
work the stars would fade in shame
from our flag and a nation Of seventy
five millions of freemen would be shorn
of their self-respect.
No other just such war was ever be
fore begun. First, it is to avenge an
intolerablo wrong-the wrong aud per-
fidy of destroying American lives aud
insulting the American flag, when
those lives, with the flag above them,
were, in national sense, the guests OF
a Government, the agents of which
we're the assassins; second, to avenge
the wrongs of the countless Americans
who have suffered arrest, imprison-
ment, assassination and spoilation from
the men in control of Cuba, and to re-
store to those still alive their property
rights; third, to succor, SO for as pos
sible, the thousands who have been
sentenced to death by starvation by or
der of Spain's highest representative
IN Cuba, and, finally, to break the arm
of Spain on this hemisphere snd secure
to brave people the freedom that thcy
for years have been gallantly fighting
for. Surely those are reasons holy en-
ough to justify war, and when from it
all there is eliminated every thought OF
conquest; when in advance the solemn
pledge of the highest representatives
of this Republic, that there shall be no
conquest, is given, that places our
country in a position before the world
which the world cannot Withhold its ad-
from, for it gives new
prestige to free institutions, new
splendor to the Republics flag. Salt

Some Fact About Cuba

Cuba has length of a little more
than 750 miles and an average width of
about 80 miles. 1t stretches in north
latitude from 10 degrees so minutes to
SO degrees minutes, and in west long
itude from "a degrees 8 minutes to 81
degrees % minutes. 1t is larger than
Ireland. The surface is mountainous
on the east coast, in some places reach
ing an elevation of 5000 feet. In the
central part of the island there are
rugged, hilly districts between Santa
Clara and Puerto Principe, and also
northwest of Trinidad. Other portions
of the country, although undulating,
consist chiefly of well-watered plains
which everywhere support luxuriant
vegetation. Rocky reefs and muddy
shadows beset about two thirds of the
coast. In some localities, however, the
sea is deep to the very shore, offering
many excellent havens, and those, too,
situated on the busiest thoroughfares
of the Western Hemisphere. The ad
mirable situation of Havana, with its
fine harbor, naturally should consti-
tute it the emporium of Central Amer
lea.
The population of Cuba, three years
ago, was about 100000, nearly one
half of whom were white, perhaps 30,-
900 Chinese and Hindoo Coolies and
about 100000 blacks. OF the whites
about 80 per cent are creoles or natives
of the island and nearly 20 per cent
peninsulairs or natives of Spain.
Cuba is divided into three intenden-
cias the western, middle and eastern.
The first there were QS72) upwards of a
million of inhabitants. 1t includes
Havana with about 100000 inhabitants,
Matanzas with about 5000, Cardenas
with about 1900. and several other
towns connected by railways. The
