He referred to China, but Spain ia sure he referred to her, and her newspaper editors are so mad that they are -roasting tbe English in every issue of their papers. Tbe people ol Porto Rico do not, it is eaid, feel very kindly to Spain and would, therefore, welcome A/nerican dom in alloy of tbe island. There baa been a great drought, lasting six months—consequently the people are feeling poor. Crops of all kinds hsve failed. Notwithstanding this condi tion of affairs, Spain has just ordered the prople to tax themselves to feed a large number us troops (or six months.

Would the taking of Havana end the war! It ought to. In hot, tbe Spaniards ought to have taken steps in the direction of peso* immediately after tbe battle of Manila. That en gagement ought to bare convinced tbom that they bad nothing to gain by tbe wai. Il would have convinced them, in all probability, if they had not been led to believe that tbe few first class ships they have are invul nerable, and practically invincible, Tbe taking of Havana would of course break Spain’s power and dis hearten her people. It is not certain that it would end the war, however. Spain might insist on keeping up a desultory warfare upon our commerce and coast cities. Il might become necessary for us to send a strong fleet to Spain. It is hardly probable, how ever, that such a necessity would arise. Stripped of all her colonial posses alone, ehe would be in such a sorry plight that Europe would insist upon her acceptance of peace upon the beat terms she could get. , While, therefore, it is not certain that tbe fall of Havana and the loss of would bring the war to ao end, the chances are that it would.—Savannah News.

THO 3. NALL, April 29,1898. Clerk and Trees. General X. >. Ohuroh, South. Conference Baltimore, May 4-23, W- On account of the above occasion the Seaboard Air Line will sell round trip tickets from Griffin to Baltimore for I COMMON BALT. I I , From the tnoss remote times the human family has made many uses of common I salt Lona before the Christian ere Gre cian and Roman writer- began to treat of it from a purely scleutiflo point-of In lbs first century Disooridaa wrote of > the different* between rook salt and tbe gilt resulting from the evaporation of sea water. Gebsr, the famous alchemist, made many experiments trying to refine KHomon salt for chemical purposes. Salt is one of tbe necessaries of life, and I ayX nation baa access to it in the form of seawater, brines or rock salt. From these 1 three sources is obtained all the salt that we use in our factories, in our meat cur ine ostabUshiuenta, in our agriculture, in our anda manufactories; all ’that fuses our glass, imparts the detergent quality to our soap and gives us salt fish and salt pork, and everything else mil that is tbe better for being so, down to our dinner setary and our breakfast eggs. Not only is common salt the foundation of tbe manufacture of soaps and glass, but modern textile manufacture Is also de pendent upon it in a great measure, for the chlorine used in bleacheries is obtained from salt. Soda alone is used in some of the blanching processes, and salt is tbe source from which soda 1a derived. Mu-, riatpi Mid is twoduced in tbe manufacture of soda from salt, and in tbe arts this acid Is almost beyond value. More than MO years ago the freeslng j mixture of Ice and salt was discovered. Os what use would our modern ice cream freezer be if we could get no salt to mix with tbe Salt to a valvable fortilirer, and for cen turies tbe rteefields of China and of Hin dustan bate been enriched with sea water. Tbe ancient Bomans manufactured salt for commercial purposes by artificial beat applied to iron pans in a manner very sim ilar to our present day method. 1 .When salt is prepared from brine springs, ,» the brine to pumped into reservoirs and then drawn off into wrought iron evapo ’ rating pans. Tbe pans are shallow and oblong and contain from 000 to 1,000 su perficial feet In each pan there are three or four fires, and tbe v irious kinds of edit are produced by tbe different degrees of 1 temperature at which the water to evapo . rated—the greater the heat, the smaller tbe , crystals formed. After the crystals have ’ formed in tbe pans they are scraped out ' and heaped up in conical baskets to drain. [ When salt to obtained from sea water, the water to put into shallow pdns and ex ' posed to the sun until the quantity to i greatly reduced. There are salt deserts in Russia, Persia, Abyssinia and other countries where salt is so plentiful on both tbe surface of tbe t earth and beneath it that It may be ob | tatned with but very little labor. At Cor doba in Spain there is rock salt on the eur -1 face that forms a precipice nearly 500 feet I in height. Il is quarried, and when ground . to powder to ready for use. There are many salt mines in Europe, * those of Booknia and Wiellcska, belong- * ing to the Austrian government, being the principal ones. Including all of its E* lleries, tbe Wiellcska mine measures 80 igltoh miles. Its greatest depth to 145 k fathoms. It to divided into three separate fields or compartments, each field consist * ing of five stories and each story being made up of many chambers, cells and caverns, all connected by passages. Tbe descent Into the different stories to made by means of shafts and stairways. Tbe r stairs are carved in rook salt, and some of ; them are magnificently beautiful. These excavated chambers arc very wide * and long, and many of them are 150 feet i In height. Some of them are chapels I used for worship. In the chapels tbe al tar*, crucifixes, niches, statues and pedes tals are all carved out of solid but trans f lucent glittering rook salt. Natural solutions of pure salt are un known. Tbe salt of commerce is chloride ) of sodium, contaminated more or less with , saline mixtures. 1810 Sir Humphry Davy produced pure salt by burning sodl * Um in chlorine gas; hence its scientific name, chloride of sodium—Philadelphia Times.
