Alcohol as a Fuel.

We have in ethyl alcohol an ideal

boiling point, about so degrees below
that of water, non-freezing, burning
without smoke, mixing with water in
all proportions, and therefore its flame
extinguished by water, cleanly, drying
on completely when spilled, not at
tracing rubber gaskets or packings.
and noncorrosive for metal tanks and
holders. The fact that its flame is

means that the flame is almost devoid
of free carbon particles. with their
intense heat radiating power, q fact
of considerable Importance. When
gasoline or heavy oils are burning, the
flame, loaded with free carbon or SCOT.
radiates heat to such Il degree that it
is not possible to approach near the
confagration, and combustible sur
roundings are readily fired by pure
radiation of heat. The production of
alcohol on a large scale is simple.
and the raw materials already exist
in considerable variety. All saccha-
rine or starchy growths are available.
Saccharine wastes are now largely
used in Cuba for alcohol production.

will be sent from New York and

the departments of the military estab-

indicate that all is quiet in Cuba, and
that the insurgents intend to lay
down their arms The probability is
that United States forces in the island
will be landed only as a preccaution-
ary measure. So far as officials are
advised, no trouble of a serious kind
is anticipated. but in accordance with
instructions from President Roose
welt hurried preparations are being
made for the sending of an eXpedi-
ticnary force of the army to Cuba.
The first American troops will be
landed at Havana next Saturday.

Anglo Chinese journal says:
"On every occasion of demonstration

it is logical to assume there will con-
tinue to be, since any variation might

tenth of the money that has been used
for these demonstrations would have
been plenty to give an admiral or
field-marshal the welcome that would
have shown satisfactorily the kindly
feelings and warm appreciation Of the
populace, and there would have been
hundreds of thousands of yen to use in
relieving the poor people who are
starving and many of whom have
cheerfully given husband, son. father
brother to help defend their country's
honor. The poor famished people of
the northern provinces are far away
and are not thought about; it would
be almost inhuman to say they are abb
solutely forgotten, but they are GER
tainly not receiving that measure of
assistance which must be given or
there will be many thousands more to
die before the late spring brings nor

While the national debt contains large amount of usurlous interest and Is therefore much heavier than it ought to be, it. has been funded at A lower rate of interest and Is being gradually paid off. The debts that are being in- cured for the extension of irrigation will be more than redeemed by the, sale of the land reclaimed, and the country will then have the benefit, not only of the reclaimed land but of the increased value of lands indirectly benefited. Although the salt tax (con- trary to Lord Corners advice) Is still over 200 per cent. the per capita rate of taxation has been reduced: aericul- tural and postal banks have been es- tablished. and the government rail' way telegraph and telephone systems have been extended.

Though she and her husband may ride together in the imperial coach, she may hy no means ride In 1t when he is not with her.

 There is another side to the sftua- ton, however, that IS intensely inter esting. Morganatic marriage Is of German origin and was devised to give princes chance to unite themselves without downright scandal to women whom they cared for, whiIe state req sons demanded they should be Joined in fun matrimony to danes of royal blood whom they did not care for in the least. The word morganatic is from ''morgengebe"-morn gift-a present a man gave to his left-handed bride without the usual dowry hus- band paid for his legal wife in the old time.
 Well, Hungary and Bohemia do not recognize morganatic marriage at ali-- only Austria. To Hungarians Arch duke Ferdinand's bride Is his legal wife ss fast ss law and church can bind her. Her son, baby Prince Maximilian. .s in Hungary recognized as the right full king of that country. A strong
 party in Hungary has alr4ady made declaration to that effect. These Hun garians resist with all their power the | Gern1anizing of their land and would eagerly welcome the son of @ Czech Princess as their king.
