The Queen of the Antilles

The Spanish West Indies, Cuba and
Porto Rico together, have a population
of IA little over two millions. Cuba it
self is seven hundred miles long, with
an average breadth of eighty miles, and
possesses resources which, if they We're
developed, would sustain population of
twelve millions Its surface, though
for the most part very slightly undulat-
ing and covered with dense forests, is
finely diversified. 4 mountain range
runs through its whole length near the
center, the highest elevations, naked and
rocky, being eight thousand feet above
the sea. 1t has numerous rivers well
stocked with fish, and many beautiful
and fertile valleys. One of it's cascades
is remarkable for beauty. It's hill sides
and detiles are clothed with q variety of
hardwood trees of the evergreen species,
of which the more valuable are the ma
hogany, which grows there to huge
size, the lignum vitae, and the ebony.
The palm, "queen of the Cuban forests"
with its deep green plumage; the giant
leaved and prolific banana and plantain,
resembling tall Indian corn; the cocoa,
with it's weeping foliage; and the "prim
orange" are abundant. Two hundred
sorts of birds are native to the island
Marble of fine quality is found in the
mountains. Coffee has been cult
waited on the lower hill slopes with sue.
cess, and its production could be largely
extended. The Cuban tobacco has pecul-
lar value, and is sought for the world
over, the Americans alone being pur
chasers of over two million dollars worth
Of cigars from there every year. Cuba's
principal crop, however, is sugar, which
amounts in value to over one hundred
million dollars o year Her advantage
in it's production over Louisiana, for ex-
ample, is that in Cuba there is space
of four or five months, when all the me
chanical work must be done, between
the time when enough cane is ripe to
justify starting the mills and the time
when the cane begins to spoil whereas
in Louisiana this period is only about
two months Though some Of Cuba's
coast lands are subject to overflow, she
is uncommonly well supplied with fine
harbors. Of her cities, Havana, the
capital, has population of two hundred
and thirty-fve thousand, Santiago de
Cuba forty thousand and Matanzas thir-
ty.seven thousand. The sumptuous mar.
BILE. mansions of its capital, with their
lofty porticoes and long colonnades, in
dicate something Of its tropical wealth
and luxury. Its cafes and restaurants
are said to be but little inferior to those
of Paris. July Atlantic

A Crystalized Woman.

Another very remarkable instance, we
are informed, says an English paper, has
just come to light as to the preserving
or petrifging effects of nitrate of Soda
A well known and influential city firm,
who have very extensive connections
with South American planters, miners,
etc., have recently received from Peru a
curiosity in the shape Of what may be
termed a crystalized female body, which,
as their correspondent advises them, was
some short time discovered by set of
miners at Pisagua, in that country, COM
pletely embedded in one of the great
nitrate Of soda deposits peculiar to that
district. The body is described as hav-
ing the appearance of a petrifed mummy
and is stated to be in singular state of
preservation. This curiosity has already
been seen by several of our best known
naturalists and scientific analysts, and it
is believed that the woman, who appar-
emily was Of middle age, must have per;
ished either through accident or design
at remote period of the past, probably,
as some even 60 so far as to say, two or
three thousand years ago. That her
death was violent there is little room to
doubt, inasmuch as when discovered the
body was in a recumbent position, partly
on one side, with chest slightly crushed,
as if through a severe fall, with legs
drawn up, and the fingers and toes con-
tracted. The hair is in most perfect
state and maintains its contact with the
skull in peculiarly astonishing manner,
and the mouth is open displaying the
teeth and tongue, which are plainly visi-
BILE. The extremities are remar arkably
small and perfect, even the nails being
in their respective place. The hair on
the head, we should add, appears to be
plated in a very peculiar manner, and is
Of great length and thickness, though in
some parts detached, owing to part of
the skull having been destroyed. The
curiosity at present is at the offices of
the firm who have imported it from
South America, but we understand that
arrangements are made that it shall be
public shown at the Westminster Aquar-
ium at an early date.

the situation is very critical. If heat
suddenly sets in after the wet and cold
