with more than one magazine a speed of
60 shots a minute can he made. This Of
course is firing without aiming, but off,
Gers believe that soldiers will fire effective
ly In battle and not waste ammunition.
Besides Mauscr bullets our boys will
have to combat all sorts of pests peculiar
to Cuba The worst of all is the Cuban
fly. This is n black insect, smaller than
the common house fly and resembling the
black fly Of northern woods. 1t comes in
myriads, buzzcs about your eyes and bites
savagely. In the neighbOrhoOd of woods
it is present in such terrible swarms that
1t Is impossible to sleep without some
preparation smcared on hands and face.
There is, also, the jcjene, or Cuban flea,
which Is extremely unpleasant and even
dangerous, because 1t seeks to enter the
eyes during sleep. Horses and cattle suffer
terribly from the attacks of the jejene on
their cyelids.
Cuba also harbors the chigoe, or jigger
flea The female of this insect has Q habit
of burrowing into human flesh and there
laying an enormous mass of eggs The
wounds made by this insect, II neglected,
will produce a dangerous liberation. As
they attack by preference the big toe, they
are apt to cause lameness
The scorpion is another Cuban product.
This reptile has l2 feet and is from to 8
inches long. 1t terminates in q long tail,
which contains the stings This causes a
severe wound, possibly a fatal one to q
man in i'll health. He who entertains a
scorpion unawares will know what It Is to
have thankless child.
The ccntipcd also plies his numerous
nimble feet on Cuban soil When he walks
across your flesh, you feel as II many red
hot needles had been thrust into you, and
he leaves trail of venom behind.
There is a sufficiency Of snakes in Cuba
-rattlers, moccasins and others. The
commonest snake Is called the maja, is
about 10 feet long and venomous, but not

Novel Use For Horse Carr.
