A FALSE HAND. One of the prisoners es-
capped from Sing Sing prison on Wednesday by
an ingenious expedient. The prisoners are con-
Quoted from the workshops to the cells in parties
of fifty. and when all are in their cells the keep
ers 90 round and count them, each convict put
ting his hand through the bars to indicate his
presence All apparently responded in this
manner on Wednesday evening. Yesterday
morning, however, on passing one of the cells, a
sentry heard something fall. He raped, and re-
celving no answer, opened the cell, Lo the
bird had flown, leaving beautiful wooden hand,
ingeniously carved. The facts we're soon known.
The fugitive employed one Of the convics TO stick
the hand IN the bars Of his cell, while he remain
ed in the workshops, from which he easily es-
capped He had carved the hand in his cell, car
ryng out the shavings every morning to the
workshop.

VERA CRuZ

The old lntendancy OF Vera Cruz lies under
the burning sun OF the tropics and extends along
the Mexican Cult from the River Baraderas on
the South to the great river of Panuco, on the
North Its length is about 600 miles, and its
breath inland from rs to 80 miles. The Inten-
dancies OF Oaxacs, Puebla and Mexico skirt it on
the West. The conformation of the country
within this province changes almost with everv
half dozen miles, while from the sea coast to its
Western boundary the most opposite climates are
assembled. In the space of twenty -four hours
you may descend from the regions Of eternal snow
on the COrdilleras of Anahuac to the plains where
the most sutfOcating heat prevails
The different tribes Of vegetables rise above
one another by strata you ascend from Vera
Cruz to the table land of Perote. The physiog-
nomy OF the country, the aspect of the sky, the
form OF the plants, the figures Of animals, the
manners of the people and the different kinds of
cultivation change at every step of the progress
OF the traveller. In few hours the naturalist in
TINS miraculous province can ascend the whole
scale OF vegetable creation from the heliconia and
the banana plant whose glossy leaves swell out
INTO wonderful dimensions to the stunted paren-
chyma of the resinous trees
The city of Vera Cruz is beautifully and regu-
larly built. 1t was laid out and built in the end
oil the 10th century, on the very spO. where Cor.
tez hrst landed the 24st of April, 1919.
Inc north wind that blows with herceness
from October to April forms the hills of moving
sand upon this Plain-changing them every year.
Ihey are from 26 to SO feet high, and contribute
by the reverberation of the suns rays to increase
the heat of Vera Cruz. Between the city and
the Arroyo Gavilan in the midst OF the sand downs,
are marshy grounds covered with mangles and
other brushwood. In the vicinity are the stag
nant waters of the Tembladura and the Lakes of
Hornija, Hortaliza and Arizona. The edifces of
Vera Cruz are built of madrepore stone drawn
from the bottom OF the ocean.
