MANY USES POSSIBLE.

MAN OSoES
"The possibilities along this line are
great" Mr.. Cutler said last night.
1.-THE denaturized product can be used
for fuel in stoves and as a substitute
for gasoline for motive power. This
will undoubtedly cut down the coal
bills, for it can be manufactured for a
trifle 1t can also be used in station
ary engines and locomotives and will
answer the same purposes as crude
oil.
For instance, at the sugar factories
there are quantities of molasses that
cannot be used, but from which alco-
hol can be obtained. Now this is waste,
but it can be used under the new law
for making alcohol, which promises to
be a growing industry in connection
with the manufacture of sugar.
Before the tax was removed from
the denaturized product it was impos-
sible to manufacture it with any profit.
The alcohol obtained from molasses is
not the highest proof although it
could be used as a beverage.
las I understand the process OF man
ufacturing alcohol from molasses, 1t Is
to malt 1t and then to allow 1t to fer
ment. Afterward the solution Is dis
titled to extract the alcohol
NEW LAWS PROVISIONS.
The new law provides that domestic
alcohol of such degree of proof and un-
der such regulations as the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue, with the
approval of the Secretary of the Treas
ury may prescribe, may be withdrawn
without the payment of internal rev.
enue tax for use in the arts and in
dustries. and for fuel, light and power.
1t also provides that the same shall
be denaturized so as to destroy it's
character as beverage and render 1t
unfit for liquid medicinal purposes.
No process is provided in the act. !
The German system of denaturizing al !
cohol is to add to every twenty-six
and one-half gallons of spirits two
and cne-half liters of the STANDARD
denaturizer" made of four parts of
wood alcohol. one part of pyridin, with
the addition of fifty grams to each
liter of oil of lavender; one and one
fourth liters of the above STANDARD" ,
and two liters of benzol with every
100 liters of alcohol. Another process
Is one and one-fourth liters of the
above standard" and two liters of |
benzol with every 100 liters of alcohol
There are several other processes of ,
sufficient to prevent al
cohol from being drank, but which
would not classify 1t as wholly dena-
turized spirits.
Alcohol may also be obtained from
various vegetable juices by allowing
them to ferment. 1t is possible that
potatoes Will be used to produce alco-
mol In tests that are to be made by
persons Interested in the manufacture
Of the denaturized product. The pota-
toes VIII be crushed, sterilized and
matted. The product is allowed to fer
ment and. after standing some time, is
distilled to separate the alcohol from
The water. 1t is believed potatoes can
be used aR cheanlx as nnlasaea

tree grows in Jamaica, and that it can
be cultivated at comparatively very
little expense, and that Sir Alfred
Jones has brought the island within ten
or eleven days of England, why should
so many young men of capital exile
themselves by going to tho East, so far
away, when they might do well here
so near "home''7 1t must be because
Jamaica is so little known in England.

ber should first of all come to Jamaica

PLAN TO BUILD
SUGAR D|ST|LltB|ES

SALT LAKE. Oct. 13.-Distllleries
are to be installed at the sugar fac
tories in Utah and Idaho for the manu-
facture Of denaturized alcohol. Gener-
al manager Thomas r. Cutler, of the
Utah Sugar Company and Idaho Sugar
Company, said last night that investi-
cations were being carried on along
this line to obtain the alcohol from
molasses, the uncrystallized syrup pro-
duced in the manufacture of beet su-
gar. From this product, which con-
tains large percentage of sugar,
quantities of alcohol can be produced
at low cost. The removal of the gov
ernment tax on denaturized alcohol has
opened up large possibilities in the
manufacture of alcohol for the arts and
as a substitute for gasoline for motive
power.

USED BY ANCIENT GAULS.

PARIS, September 29.-At the Acad-
emy yesterday Commandant Esperan-
dieu, director of excavations at Alesia,
announced that recent finds had en-
ahled the workers there to reconstruct
n hut which had been inhabited by
ancient Gauls. These houses were
neither of stone nor of thatch, but OF
terra Gotta The Gauls had made this
by placing two centimeter layer of
brick clay on n network body and
baking it In a double fire inside and
outside simultaneously. Commandant
Esperandieu said It was probable that
the exterior of the huts was addi-
tionally protected by thatch.
Among the sculptures recovered are
statues OF a Gallic chief and cavalier,
and also bas reliefs picturlng heads.
The Academy has also received an
announcement of the discovery at
Sousse. In Tunis, by Lieut.. Mollier, who
is excavating in the catacombs, of an
entirely new group of galleries which
he explored and found in an excellent
state of preservation.

CULLMAN'S LARGEST
 STORE IS BURNED
New York Store and Contents Entirely Destroyed With Loss of About
 $eo,ooo.

Cullman, February 10.-(Special) )-The New York store. belonging to the Noun tain City Mercantile company, burned at o'clock this morning; building and con- tents being entirely consumed. This store was one of the largest and handsomest in Cullman, being built of pressed brick and plate glass. The loss on the build ing was $3OO00, with 5000 insurance. Loss on stock $6O,O00. with $15,00O insurance. The fire originated, it is thought, from de- fective wiring Gus Koppman, the prin- cipal stockholder, says that the store will be immediately rebuilt and open for bus mess by early spring The law offices of s. J. Griffin were in the building and his valuable library and furniture were destroyed. MT. Griffin's insurance policy had lapsed a few weeks ago.
 Prof L. A. Fealy and Judge Fuller and associates, are taking stock for canning factories and it is assured that Cullman will have two if not three factories at the opening of the fruit and vegetable sea- son This will insure a better grade of strawberries and other truck going to the markets, as the low grade stuffs will be canned.
 The League of St. Johns Lutheran church will hold a bazar at Kullman s hall on the evening of the 18th. Refresh- ments and contests of various kinds will be features of the entertainment.

WEEKLY AVERAGES
 OF CLEARING HOUSE

New York, February 1O.-The statement of the clearing house banks for the week shows that the banks hold s5.9iS.575 over the legal reserve requirements. This is a decrease of $5, ,18405O under last week The statement follows:
 Loans, $1,O61, ,9O7200; increase $4, ,632 100.
 Deposits, $1 LOGO, $50. 300; decrease. $452,2Oo
 Circulation, $51,449 800; decrease. $52s, 100.
 Legal tenders $S0. .3S6 800; decrease, S3,- 699, ,500.
 Specie, 9O.s945O0; decrease, H.5S7, 600. 7
 Reserve, $271, ,1S1, 900; decrease, S,297,1OO.
 Reserve required, $265, ,2S7, ,725; decrease, $113O50
 Surplus, s5,943575; decrease, $5,1S4,05O.
 Ex-United States deposits. $S.OS6, $50; de- crease 8, 5,179,525.
 New York, February 1O-The Financier says this week:
 Last weeks official statement of the New York Associated Banks was again unfavorable in that 1t showed an im- portant loss of cash and a heavy reduc- tion in the surplus reserve, the latter amounting to nearly one-half that recorded in the previous week. The cash
 
 loss last week was $5297,10O. It would seem that the conditions were partly due to the bringing over from the week end ing February of that portion of the decrease in cash which was not reflected in that weeks statement. It was also in great part caused by operations of the sub-treasury which absorbed from the banks considerable sums for the per cent redemption fund and likewise for excess internal revenue receipts that were transferred hither by interior de- positories and paid into sub-treasury out of the remltting institutions deposits with correspondents. The general deposits of the Associated Banks decreased $4o2,- 200. and the statement showed good bal ance, the sum of the cash decrease, less the gain of $4.6S2,1 100 in loans, being only $212,S00 greater than the reduction in de- posits. The required reserve was de- creased $113,O59, deducting which from the loss of cash left S5014,050 as the re- duction in surplus reserve to $5,9i3,575 against $11 .127, ,625 in the previous week. Computed on the basis of the deposits, less those of $S573,1 100 public funds. the surplus is $S.0S6S5O.
 The increase of S4637, 100 in loans as aoove noted was quite moderate and the smaller gain compared with previous weeks was most likely due to liquidation of speculative accounts on the stock ex- change. which, to a great extent, con tributed to offset expansions through other operations. It may be observed however. that the loans were s1,046,3O0 in excess of deposits. whereas the week of February the deposits exceeded the loans by $4,03SOo0. The daily average of bank clearings last week was s339 900, 900, against $435 100000 in the previous week; the clear ings on Saturday reflecting Fridays busi- ness were $354S93'o2l. Comparisons of loans by individual banks show that nine institutions increased this item by s3.- 100000 net; seven banks lost four and one fifth millions net.

Action.

Panama. June 1S.- General Lopez
from Salvador, invaded Guatemala near
the Pacific coast with 1000 men, most
ly Salvadoreans, but partly Guatemalan
rebels. They met a superior Guatema
Ian force and retreated into Salvador
after a short action.
The rebels invasion from the Mexi-

failure, 200 being killed or drowned in
seeking to recross a frontier river.
The rebellion has been crushed on
both frontiers. There are no enemies
now on GuatemaIan SOIL The interior
towns and the capital are perfectly
quiet.
