CAREFUL Investigations concerning the
sugar productions of Cuba show that Of
the 226 sugar grinding establishments
on the island, SO are owned by Span
iards, So by American syndicates and in
divduals, So by Cubans, and Is by Eng
lish, French, German and Portuguese.
Although the Americans own only one
fourth of the estates they produce 40
per cent of all the sugar. That shows
who would be benefited by reciprocity.
The Cubans would get 20 per cent of
any rebate on the sugar duties and for
egners the other 80 per cent.

have demonstrated that petroleum can
be successfully used as a fuel to gener
ate steam on ships and on railroads. If
that can be done, why may it not be also
employed everywhere else where steam
is required for this or that purpose? We
use it in our lamps and in our cooking
stoves, and wherever it has been tried a
success has been scored. There is no
good reason to believe that it cannot be
made to take the place of either hard or
soft coal. What is more, the combus-
ton of the oil can be made so complete
that there will be no smoke.

THE oleomargarine makers of Chicago,
SO it is reported, are preparing to pro-
vide the coloring matter necessary to
give their product the golden hue, to all
consumers through the retailers, so that
all who wish to use oleomargarine or but
terine and care for the color can add it
before placing it upon their tables. The
manufacturers will supply the trade with
the product uncolored and with the col
oring substance separate which will be
given to the consumer in quantities suf-
icient to color what they use. 1t is said
that the coloring is easily added by any
houseleeper. The new law passed by
congress will not reach this method of
coloring and the manufacturers can deal
direct with retailers everywhere and
they with their customers. It's great
trick, and it evades the law.

The Boer war is practically over, and

hardly think there will be much rejoic-

finding Nelson there, he drove across
