strange that now and again 8 warning
voice is raised in Barcelona declaring that
Catalonia. prohting nothing by the nation
to which she belongs, win demand home
rule and a separate budget. But TO these
rumors of disaffsction we need pay little
attention. Though Catalonia has always
been inclined to revolt, yet her pride OF
race and language will still keep her
faithful to the ideal of a united Spain.
Therefore all circumstances point to the
resurrection OF th4t country beyond the
Pyrenees, which has always kept herself
essentially aloof from Europe, AID which
has never frankly acknowledged defeat
Her greatest danger comes from her own
/ love of ease and OF pecuiation. Her present
Ministers are not merely loyal. but wise,
and if only they could shake themselves
free Of an infamous habit OF corruption.
Spain would be as we'll justified as Eng
land in putting faith In her Government.
| 1t is large If" OF course. but where
| intelligence is, there honesty may be found
also. and there is no need to despair OF
the future. General Weyler Is in disgrace,
/ and General Polayieja, the present Minis
| ter OF War. is man of untarnished char
actsr. who Is not likely to permit the en-
! bezzlement which last year FASTENED the
/ downfall of his country.
And granted wise government. Spain
/ has a thousand obvious advantages. De-
/ spite her indolent climate, unfathomed
wealth is buried not far beneath her soil.
( Wine and oil and cork and corn come at
her bidding, and the richness OF her min
4 erals has never been disputed Nothing is
wanted save the enterprise which shall at
( once discover the natural products and
force them upon the greater markets of
the world. But. unhappily, this enterprise
Is too often lacking. Too often the mani
! fest resources of the country are exploited
by the energy OF England and of France;
too often the Spaniards themselves do but
minister to the wealth of others. But better
It is that the riches of Spain should be
brought TO the surface by alien ingenuity
than that they SHOULD be left buried in the
soil. After ali. the example of foreigners
may fire the ambition even OF the lazy An
dalusian. and one day We may find Spanish
cleverness and Spanish capital construct
ing railways and opening mines.
At any rate, Spain does not rspine; at
the very moment when other nations have
either deplored or applauded her defeat
she has been celebrating the tercentenary
of her greatest painter and has been de-
Tending the study of Latin against the en-
croaching radical. And can history show
a more brilliant example of political de-
taehment than that London Mail.

Artificial 81. appeared strange. but
there seemed to be reasonable expecta-
ticn Of obtaining margin OF profit In its
manufacture: but artificial cotton. to an
American. az least, would hardly suggest
itself According to our Consul a. Reich
enbere, II North Bohemia, however, pro-
cess has been devised for the prediction
Of artificial cotton from the wood of the
fir t-as. immense forests Of which abound
in the district. The wood is first reduced
to thia sharings, then placed in wash
ing apparatus and exposed to the infiu-
euce OF steam for ten hours They are
then subjected TO a strong solution Of So
dunn lye. and are heated under great pres
sure for thirty-six hours The wood is
thus changed to pure cellulose and to give
this greater resisting power some castor
oil. caffeine and gelatin are added. This
mixture is then reeled OF in threads, much
after the manner OF producing artificial
silk. ReicheIberg is the centre OF a large
cloth manufacturing Industry. and. as all
the cotton usei has to be imported from
America and India. and the fir abounds
here. there is some possibility OF the arti-
fetal product being made as cheaply as the
natural one. In this case the artificial
product is not substitute, as it has iden-
tically the same composition as natural
cotton.

product are separate and independent in
ventions, and claims for each must be
presented in a separate application
The second change affects the manner
of oath or affirmation made By the appli-
cant and affects foreign applications The
new rule reads as follows:
The applicant must distinctly state IN
der oath that the invention has not been
patented to himself, or to others with his
knowledge or consent, in this or any for
