There Is a series Of small and large
eayerns In the marble rocks OF the Gu
han nountainswhich are being gradually
filled up. and that, too, In a most remark
able manner. The common land snails
of which there are many species and
varieties In Cuba, make these caves a
resort during the dry season, They con-
eregate on the floors Of the eaverns In
immense numbers and millions of them
never leave. The reason Is thls'
The water which drops from the r COS
or ceilings Of the different caverns con
tains a large per cent of carbonate OF
lime. When the water evaporates the
lime Is left behind, and, acting as a Gem
ent, It CLUES great layers OF the small
bells together every year, This pro
cess going on season after season Il
gradually filling up the Cuban caves
and Il Is only question of time wher
here will not be a single cavern left or
the island.
