pouring out tons Of b, ching lava
which flowed in the direction of the

from the previous eruption and did
no harm.
The correspondent of the Associ-

spending d night on Mount Vesuvius

authorities, to pass the prescribed.

magnificent.
Enormous masses of liquid fire
flowed almost to the correspondents

casionally mass ofsburning material
became detached from the pyramid
and rolled down the side of the noun

detaching other masses until the
whole became stationary at the bot

The main stream of lava flowed
down the volcano until stopped by tHa
mounds of old lava, when it divided
and filed up the valleys, the old and
new masses meeting with such force
as to cause loud detonations which
shook the earth.

LIQUOR AT THE CAPITOL.

question which disturbs some good Americans, and which will soon be to the fore again, is as to the sale of lio- uor in the restaurant of the house of representatives at Washington. It Is a question which a few people take jocularly, treating 1t as one which af- fleets the personal rights and liberties of individual representatives. and rath- CT holding those who raise a hurly- burly to be kin to the witches i'll Macbeth or at least to be interlopers who should be taught a lesson.
 As matter of fact, the question is not as to whether liquor should or should not be sold in the capitol The root Of the question Is quite different. The question is whether or not the rep resentat1ves are going to keep their word to the people of the country, who do not like to think that liquor, beer or wines are sold in the national house of representatives. Are members of con gross honest gentlemen, or are they surreptitious tipplers? This is the point at issue. It has sometimes been suspected by the well informed that congress has been fooling the temper ar1ce element In their constituencies for the purpose of getting their votes. Now it is for members. and senators, too, to say whether or not this is a just suspicion, They have surrendered to an attack on the army canteen, which many people believe to be, on the whole, a salubrious institution, espe- cially if it be permitted to sell only light wines and beer. Congress, how ever, took the view of the extreme tenn perance people, or total a.bstainers, and excluded wines and beers from the canteer1s. There has been great deal of complaint from officers and men. but congress has remained firm; it has gone with the total abstinence people, and the soldiers cannot have wine and beer on their posts because the law of congress is enforced by army officers. -Harper's Weekly.

OF CUBA
The Resources of the Island Are
 Known to Be Extensive.
Gold Is Said to Exist i'm Large QuRn@ titles and Preparations Are Be- ing Made to Mine It-Othex
 Minerals.

The recent rediscovery of gold in Cuba leads one to inquire concerning her mineral resources in general Ev- srybody knows about her wealth in sugar, tobacco. fruit, woods and hides, put probably few have much knowledge of her mineral riches.
 The early Spanish settlers, having In mind the various colonies of Spain that had emptied rivers of gold into her coffers, were confident in Cuba also he precious metal was to be found, and It is said they did get out considerable quantities of gold, by the process known as placer mining Those early placers were located on the Sagua Ia Grande and Agabama rivers, and there were placers along the streams empty Ing into Cienfuegos bay. Humboldt re- ported gold as being washed up from the sands of the rivers Damuji and Ca- 0nao, and doubtless there existed sev- eral placers whose locations are now unknown
 In 1927, silver combined with copper was found in a district south of the city of Santa Clara, which some authorities say yielded 75p ounces of silver to the ton of ore, while others place the yield at 40 ounces. There is no record that this discovery was followed by any extensive prosecution of the industry, or much prospecting for similar depos- It's. Which seems strange when one remembers the Spaniards greed of gold, and strange when one learns that experienced mining engineers who have explored the mountains of Cuba report strong indications there of sil- yer and copper.
 The Cuban mines of Cobra, located north of the city of Santiago. were once the greatest copper producing mines in the world and were worked as early as 1924 From two to three million dollars worth of copper were shipped annually from Cuba to the United States be- tween the years 1928 and 1s40; but now the mines are abandoned.
 The iron mines of Cuba, which are of great importance, are situated few miles east of Santiago. American cap- ltal opened these mines and built the

This Is the Slogan of Thoughtful Tenn
 perance Advocates.
 The latest thing the temperance crit ics are up in arms against in Britain is what they call the treating habit. Is it not a fact, they ask, that men really spend in treating amounts that they would hesitate to give away, no matter how deserving tho charity? 1t is a trait of human character that comes through this all-absorbing disposition to fShold your head up" when with 2 friend. Hundreds of men, 1t is claimed, take thousands of drinks that they do not want, and other hundreds pay tor thousands that are not desired.
 Two men meet. and one says: Mighty glad to see you. Let's have something" Neither generally needs or even wants drink. But the man who offers 1t wants to show that he Is generous He takes this method of proving that he is glad to meet his friend. The friend. after he has taken the drink that he did not want, to prove that he, too, is a good fellow, insists upon a second round. The outcome of al this is that the critics think the cause would be greatly benefited if those who must have refreshments would adopt the German custom of en- terine public house. taking a drink and paying for it and no other, as what we do for friendships sake costs us many shilling and many q pang.

RUINS oFeoPPER MINE AT FL COBRA. CUBA. railways and piers necessary for the shipment of the ore. The yield is very rich, the ores, mixed brown and red hematite, containing from 65 to 6S per cent of pure iron. The ore has been shipped almost exclusively to this country and during the war extensive shipments were continued. Tn 1890 the psoduct of the Juraqua company. one of the principal producers, was 362,06S tons. an amount equal to one-fourth of the importation of iron ores.into the United. States for that year Just prior to the war, 2 beginning was made by the Cuban iron men to open up an ex- tensive trade with England.
 The war stopped Cuban exports of manganese, the insurgents closing the mines early in the hostilities. because the Spaniards received such a rich roy atty therefrom. The demand for this ore from the United States has been much greater than the mines have been able to supply. Santiago is the center of Cuba's mineral district, and from this city railways reach out their arms
 
 mines scattered throughout the sur rounding region.
 Tn the southeastern part of the prov ince of Santa Clara, near Trinidad, building slate and marble of good qual- ity are plentiful. Near Trinidad there exists also tale and anianthus. and these minerals are found too in the broad belt to the north Unusually rich asphaltum lies beneath the waters of Cardenss bay, as well as in other parts of the island The asphaltum mines about Cardenas have been worked for many years, but the supply of some grades is apparently inexhaustible, and for long time asphaltum has been one of Cubas standard exports. It Cuba has been mistaken for coal This mineral is found in various localities of the island but the beds about Car denas are the principal ones.
 Spanish rule interfered with the de- velopment of the mineral resources of Cuba, and though foreign enterprise frequently attempted the work her mineral wealth had remained largely undeve1oped, Mir Robert T. Hill, of the U. s. Geological Survey, in his book Cuba and Porto Rico" concerning the problem of Cuban mining, reports that the field is 8 promising one. and tket the mining industries. when opened up, will be confined to the mountainous re- zion of the eastern part of the island.
