Curious Cuban Caves .

There is Il series of small and large
eaverns in the marble rocks of the
Cuban mountains which are being grad
ually filled up, and that, too, in a most
remarkable manner. The common land
Snails, of which there are so many spe
cieS and varieties in Cuba, make these
caves resort during the dry season
They congregate on the floors of tht
caverns in immense numbers and mil
lions of them never leave. The reason
is this: The water which drops from
the roofs or ceiling of the different cav
erns contains a large per cent. of car
Donate of lime. When the water evapo
rates the lime is left behind, and, acting
as a cement. it CLUES great layers Of
the snail shells together every year
This process going on season after sea-
son is gradually filling up the CubaT
caves, and it is only question of time
when there will not be a single cavern
left on the island.

The Old Man-of-War Turned Into q Flour
An English journal contains the fol
lowing item:
1T is not by any means widely known
that the Chesa peake, famous for her
historic encounter with the British
ship Channon in 1913, is in existence to-
day. but is used in the somewhat in
glorious capacity of flour mill, and is
making money for 4 hearty Hampshire
miller in the little parish of Wicllham
After her capture by Sir Philip 3. V
Broke she was taken to England il
1914. and in 1920 her timbers were sole
to Mr.. John Prior, miller, of Wickhan
IIants. Mr.. Prior pulled down his OWL
mill at Wickham and erected new on,
from the Chesapeake timbers, which h,
found admirably adapted for the pur
pose. The deck beams were 30 fee
long. and served, without alteration
for joists. Many of these timbers ye
bear the marks of the Shannon grape
shot. and in some places the shot are
L Il to be seen deeply imbedded in the
pitch pine. The metamorphosis of
man-of-war into a peaceful life-sustain-
ing flour mill is, perhaps. as near an APP
proach to the prophecy that spears and
swords shall be beaten into plows an6
pruning hooks, as the conditions OF
modern civilization will allow"
