cUTTLEFIsH BONE.

Cuttlefsh bone is familiar to most
people as it is seen thrust between
the bars of a bird cage for birds TO
peck at; birds clean their beaks on it
and they like to eat it. But cuttletish
bone has other and more interesting
uses.
The cuttlefsh bone of commerce is
imported from Trieste and from Mar
settles. 1t is the bony body found
within the back of the cuttlefish,
sophia Officinalis of European waters,
which is of the same group as the oc-
topus. This bone is composed of num-
erous fine layers closely connected,
making a porous mass that is lighter
than water and when dry is white. 1t
is something like a watermelon seed
in shape, though thicker, and it may
be from two to ten inches in length.
In a little pouch within its body
the cuttlefsh secretes a blackish
brown liquor which at times it ex-
pels to darken the surrounding water
for its own protection. The material
within this pouch, when dried is used
in making sepia colors and in the
manufacture of India ink. Around the
shores of the Mediterranean the flesh
of the cuttlefsh is eaten, as it is in
various other parts of the world.
! Cuttlehsh bone is not a great arti-
/ Gle of commerce in dollars and cents,
and yet it is imported in large guam
titles 1t comes in boxes containing
from twenty to twenty-five pounds
each, with four boxes secured to-
gether, such a package being called
strap. Thousands of such boxes are
Imported yearly.
The bone is used in the manufac
ture of tooth powder and of polishing
powder and in the making of a pre-
pared food for birds, but perhaps the
most interesting of its uses is in tn,
making of molds in which to cast golC
rings.

Rebels in the Laguna district, esti-

claimed Emilio Vasquez Comes presi-

Their demand is not taken serious

confidence in the loyalty of the gar
rison, believed to be strong enough to
resist attack.
Since the rebels have ehected an or

republic without any demonstration,
either favorable or unfavorable. There

not instruct the people to hang out

Might Spoil New Year.
Owing to the preparation for the
Chinese New Year, on February Is,
the people at no time have taken the
abdication of the throne into consid-
Grafton except in regard to the pros
pect of the soldiers marring the fes-
tivities of the only holiday in the
year. More than 10000 troops are N
Pekin, or stationed around the city
walls. Their discipline always has
been lax, and it is now less stringent
than ever, and this fact makes loot
ing possible. Nevertheless, Yuan Shih
Kai is expected to avert this.
Chinese offceholders are confident
that Yuan Shih Kai controls the DO.
litical situation and believes that the
south will accept what he offers. The
south, however, has not yet signified
its acceptance of the proposed coali.

Britain Blocks Loan.

LONDON, February 13.-The Brit
ish government has been enabled to
show it's sympathy with the views of
the United States government in re
gard to China in a substantial man
ner by prevailing upon Japan to post
pone loans to Chinese companies the
proceeds of which might reach either
the republicans or imperialists.
Secretary of State Knox, through
the United States Embassy in Lon.
don, called the attention of the Brit
ish Foreign Office to the proposed
purchase by the Japan Mail Steamship
Company of the China Merchants
Marine Company as an indirect way
of supplying the republicans with
funds
At that time Japan was able to
reply that the Hongkong and Shang-
hal Bank already had made a loan to
the China Merchants Marine Com
pany, part of which, it was presumed,
went to the republicans.
When the proposed loan to the
Hankow Railway Company by the
Okura Arms and Ammunition Com
pany was reported, Secretary Knox
again called the attention of the Brit
ish government to the subject and
, Sir Edward Grey once more ap
preached the Japanese government
On this occasion, Japan proposed
that the powers should prohibit theil
nationals from making loans to eithel
side, but Great Britain had no power
to do this, and proposed instead tina
the powers should use their influence
with their nationals to prevent loans
The Japanese government has agreed
to do this.

Bring in Verdict This Morning After Being Out Since Saturday
 Afternoon.

The Hughes case, which has been expressing the attention of the crim- inal court in Memphis for week or ten days, came to an end about the middle of the afternoon last Satur. day, after brilliant arguments by the learned counsel on both sides of the case.
