PHOTOGRAPHIC ON MARBLE.
Process, Recently Perfected, which
IL said to Give Fine
Results.

The following process for making
Photographic impressions upon marble
has recently appeared and is Said 10
give very fine results, says the Scien-
tihc American. The surface of the
marble is we'll smoothed but not pol
ished. Upon this Is spread a layer Of
the following mixture: Benzine, 500
grammes; turpentine. 500 grammes;
bitumen, 50 grammes; beeswaX. 5
srammes. This layer Is allowed 10
dry. and the gelatine surface of the
Photographic plate is then applied and
an exposure of 20 minutes made by
sunlight. After removing the plate.
wash with gasoline. which takes Oft
that part of the varnish which has not
been acted upon by the light, and the
image gradually appears. The action
OF the gasoline is stopped al the desired
point by washing in a stream OF Va
ter. The surface thus prepared Is
plunged into an alcoholic solution OF
Prussian blue. eosine red. etc. When
the color has penetrated by capillary
action. the layer of varnish is taken of
and the surface of the marble finely
polished. In this way a permanent
image of fine color and great depth Is
obtained.

Notwithstanding PESTS.
Growers In This Vicinity Disturbed
over the Appearance Of a De-
structtVe Insect.

Violet growers i'm this vicinity are dis
turbcd over the appearance in consid-
cradle numbers of gall hy which at

ropean florists have for many years
had a war on their hands against vio-
let pests, but il is only within three
years or so that the American grower
has been trouble in this way The
American violet destroyer is of the
same family as the European, but OF a
different genus. II works in the same
way, secreting itself in the crown Of
the plant. When the leaves come up
they are slightly curled and half a
dozen or more of the larvae are found
in each leaf. They seldom appear on
the side crowns, and these may be
used for plants, but their flowers will
not be as large as those from the cen
ter crown. The insect has been re-

Time and again it has been expected
that the American troops would with
draw, but, as the years have gone by.
so many things have interfered with
the withdrawal of Americans that they
have fingered on, as loath to depart as
the Cubans were to allow them to go.
Now the time has been definitely set
for next January. At the end of that
period the entire plan formulated at
the close of the Spanish war will have
been carried out. This plan included,
first, the taking of a census; second,
the adoption of municipal elections;
third, constitutional convention.
fourth, the adoption of a suitable form
of government, and, finally, the with
drawal of the American troops.
Splendid men have been in charge of
the Cubans during their reconstruction
period No point has been too small for
them to consider; nothing too great or
too small for their attention. Recently
the subject of marriage has been up.
The Cuban law requires both a civil
and a religious ceremony. Many
thought it better to have a single cerc-
mony, either civil or religious, or a
combination of both. General Wood
promised to take up the question and it
will soon be determined whether it will
be best to allow the priests and magis-
trates full power to perform the cere-
mony, as in the United States, or
whether the marriage law shall remain
as it is.
The subject of annexation is contin-
ually coming up. But that is a thing
to be decided in the future. Cuba is at
present Independent. It was made so
by the Presidents proclamation at the
breaking out of the Spanish war. It is
estimated that one-half the native pop
ulation desires annexation; and, in that
case, the people of the United States
would need to give their consent also,
for it would not be possible to force so
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-08-13

the Cuban palate would be forthcom-
ing. Owing to its long siege the Island
itself was barren, scarcely enough be-
ing raised to sustain the planter upon
his own farm; and nothing at all for
the cities.
The Secretary of War finally decid-
ed to retain American troops upon the
Island, and then came the selection OF
a man to command the troops and not
only the troops but the Island itself
The selection of General Lorenzo
Wood was finally made and the title of
Military Governor was bestowed upon
him. His headquarters were to be IN
the City of Santiago; and out or the
chaos in which he found the town he
was to bring order.
The first month General Wood was
there he came as near despair as SO
brave man could approach The
streets were filed with refuse; the GEM
eteries lay with their dead unburied;
the people crowded around his door for
food and the farmers stood in their
blood-stained fields and sighed. There
was no way of beginning, nor spot at
which to take hold.
At this time Mrs. Wood signalized
herself by establishing a branch of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals The way in which small
domestic animals were treated touched
her heart and she took steps to relieve
them and place them upon their proper
footing in public estimation.

RUSSIA'S FIGURES
ON CHINESE ARMY.
The Russian Secret Service Is Said
to Have Obtained the Most Au-
thentic Reports Of Its Strength.

One Of the most interesting topics.
in connection with the war in China,
is the manifest anxiety of the Car re-
garding the size of the Chinese army.
His Majesty knew that the Russian
troops far outnumbered the Chinese
hosts, yet the fact that Picking was the
most thickly populated city in the
world, and China the most closely set
tied Empire in the universe, made him
uneasy. He 1onged to know the exact
strength of the Chinese army from per-
fectly authentic sources.
It is said to be fact that a China
man will lie if it is to his interest to
do so; and that he will betray his coun-
try for like motives of self-interest.
Therefore, the Russian secret servica
had no difficulty in ascertaining to a
man the exact size of the Chinese army.
The figures were obtained from the I'm
perial Palace, and were copied from
the books in the department of war.
AS to the other data this too was OBJ
tanned from undoubted sources and is
therefore correct. The information was
communicated to the Grand STAFF OF
the Russian army which sent it to the
Car.
The Grand STAFF estimates the total
number of Chinese troops, on the
strength of information from their mill
itary agents in China, at 1,752, 900 men,
This grand total is made up of 205,4.

made by educated Chinese, and while
the English is in many instances crude.
the sentiment of the placards is pre-

UNCLE SAM BIDS
CUBA FAREWELL.
Preparations Are Being Made For the
Departure Of the United States
Troops in January.

1t has been definitely agreed upon
that the first of January will see the
end of American occupation in Cuba.
At that time the great transports will
be loaded with our troops and the SOL
diers that have dwelt there so long will
return home, either to be mustered out
or to go to service elsewhere.
Many of the soldiers have wooed
sweethearts in Cuba and have married
and settled there; others have gone in
business in a quiet way; still others see
business opportunities and will remain
to investigate them. A great number
will go to work, as actual laborers, for
they see that large wages can be OBJ
tanned by an intelligent, willing man.
At first, when the war was concluded,
1t was thought desirable to have the
American troops remain upon the ISL
and only to protect the Cubans from
the Spanish sympathizers who were nu
merous enough to occasion some I'M
pleasantness. There were retired Span
ssh soldiers who were willing to fight
a Cuban at sight: and there were gran
dees who showed signs of abusing the
Cubans who worked for them and who
were in no condition to defend them
selves.
Then came knowledge of the actual
state of the Island Tales of how the
streets had not been cleaned for years
were told; there were whispered stories
of the awful sanitary condition of the
houses; there was well authenticated
report that the bathroom in Blanco's
palace was the only luxury of this kind
in Havana And these were but few
OF the things told
Gradually the President and his asso-
ciates came to realize that, if they were
to leave Cuba, then, just as it was, they
would subject 1t to fate worse than
that which had held it under Spanish
rule. Impoverished. i'll, without any
way of organizing, they would live as
Respondent creatures, without the
chance or the means of making of
themselves people entitled to the re-
spect Of the world.
No one saw this palmer than Maxine
Gomez. He is said, personally, to have
asked the President to establish an
American protectorate and to have
journeyed to the United States to beg
for one Others also desired American

assistance, Palma among them.
An American protectorate, at that
time, meant much First of all 1t
meant money, for nothing could be
done without funds. The very steam
ship companies could not be persuaded
to bring their cargoes without pay, nor
could they load them with grain unless
the provision merchants were paid at
the wharfs To have the Americans in
charge meant that grain would arrive;
that meats would be brought down well
cooled in ice chests; that canned goods
would be plentiful, and that teas and
spices and all the luxuries so craved by

Strengthened out matters, the most i'm
portant step in which was the appoint

who understood native conditions.
Gradually roads were restored, houses

order brought about.
To-day Santiago de Cuba is drained;
it is supplied with rapid transit; in its
suburbs are factories and, lying all
around the city are splendid plantations
where sugar, coffee, rice and all the fine
fruits and spices of the tropics abound.
American merchants are there with
their money and wherever a capitalist
settles, there grows up a prosperous
suburb whose people live in comforta-
