The startling discovery has been made
that Cuba is cracking-not simply crack
ing, but bursting wide open. Numerous
assures in the earth have appeared in
many widely situated localities, but par
tioularly near Matanzas. One of these
enormous cracks in nearly eleven English
miles in length, and has actually broken "A
mountain chain asunder, leaving a wide
gap, which, but for the fact that the assure
seems without bottom, would make a
splendid roadway, making the rich planta-
lions in the valley beyond at least fifty
miles nearer Lathios, the nearest port,
which is now reached by rounding the
spur of the mountain. Some of the cracks
and openings within sight of this place are
500 to 1000 feet long, "a to 50 feet wide and
of unknown depth.
These disturbances may be and no doubt
are continuation of those felt not long
ago along the south coast of the island,
but the people are not inclined to view it
in that light, regarding all such mani
festations with superstitious awe, many
of them actually believing that some inn
pending calamity is about to overwhelm
the country. Scientists explain it by say
ing that the earth's crust thic1ens from
the sea inland, and that therefore the in
land pressure is toward the nearest coast
line. The crust there and in the ocean be-
yond, being thinner, is more sensitive to
central disturbances. -Matanzas Letter.

The Dolphin sumo.

The gentle Pliny. who Is frequently
quoted in John Ashtoa's book on zoology
because of his having turned in para
graph commencing the early Christians
for getting up before sun up, WAS capable
OF interesting narratives. He ground out
one about dolphin that struck up an ae
quaintance with a nice little boy who
walked around the Luerine lake from Baiss
to Puteoli to school every day This dol
phin's name was Smo, and the nice little
boy used to whistle for him every morning
when the first bell rang, and when Simo
would come up thrashing and splashinp
around, the nice little boy would break of
a piece Of bun or maybe a piece of apple
pie that he had in his lunch basket, for il
seems in those days the boys mothers used
to put up pieces for them to eat at noon
when school let out.
Simo had quite n mouth for pie, and
finally, by way OF showing his gratitude,
he used to draw ia his spines and have the
nice little boy get on a-straddle, and thus
convey him to the steamer dock mt Puteoli.
This saved the boy from walking away
round And in the afternoon after school
let out there would be old Simo ready to
take the lad back This went on for some
time until the boy took down sick with
some malady-Pliny doesn't say what, Int
il is believed that it was inflammatory
rheumatism from getting his feet wet so
often. But anyhow he died After that
Simo came around just the same, but
there was no nice little boy there. and the
artless Pliny says that finally the poor fish
just gave up and died out OF pure grief.
Pliny saws that was the talk OF the neigh
borhood. Chicago Tribune
