In order that the requisite military measures might be taken, it was imperative that the question should be settled one way or the other. It was impossible to lay down forthwith, by means of a mutual agreement, the conditions of the emo- uation of Manchuria. According to the news received, serious hindrances were placed in the way of the con- clusion of such an agreement. and, in consequence, its acceptance by China, which was indispeDSable for the. gradual evacuation of the pro- vince. proved to be impossible. “With reference to the institution of a local civil administration. sub- sequently, and after a careful eon- sideration of all the circumstances. the Russian Government drew up the draft of a special agreement with China, providing for the. gradual evacuation of Manchuria. as well as {or the adoption of provisional mea- sures to assure pet-tee in that terri- tory. and to prevent the recurrence of events similar to those of last year. Unfortunately. with the object of stirring up public opinion against Rus- sia, alarmist rumors were circulated in the foreign press regarding the purpose and intentions of the Russian Government. Falsilie-d texts of a treaty establishing a protectorate over Manehuria were quoted and er- roneous reports were designedly spread of an alleged agreement be- tween Russiu and China. ”While anticipating an early «vulv- mc-nt of the quostiom nchting tho. mutual relations between all the powers and (miona. the Ruwtnn (luv- ornment, on its part.

An establishment for manufactur- ing building stone by a new and pro- mising process has begun operations in Germany, with every prospect of success. The process is exceedingly simple, only lime and sand being used. The proportions are from 4 to 6 per cent. of lime to 94 to 96' per cent. of sand. The materials having been mixed thoroughly and shaped in- to blocks of the desired size. the latter are thrust into a boiler that is sub- sequently closed hermetically. and subjected to the influence of steam at a pressure of from 120 to 150 pounds to the inch. This operation lasts about ten- hours. The consolida- tion of the lime and sand is effect- ed not only by mechanical force. but by chemical action. Nor is this chemical action the same as that which occurs in making mortar. The calcium 0! the lime unites with the silica of the sand to form entirely new compounds. These are of a tlinty‘ character, and give the stone a Wfierw . The men who assisted in digging out the taffy had to be careful of themselves while at work. If they stayed longer than a minute in one. position the surface of the taffy berg being so glutinous, they got stuck there. and could only be taken off again with the wistamre of four or five men, and then the soles of boots were frequently left behind. The cause all the transformation cannot be discovered. The sugar was loaded in tropical weather, and those particular bags which went wrong [must have contained sugar which was in an abnormally moist condition. The hold in which it was stored is just abaft the engine room, and subject to great heat. The subsequent change of temperature, from torrid to (rigid latitudes, helped to solidify the has lmt 12,000 bags of ”fly fancy,” as sugar is called at the ducks. but confectioncrs and breweries have bought the taffy. giving '35 a to!) for it. or less than half its original value.
