The Bellany caves in Cuba, situated three
miles from Matanzas, rival the Mammoth Cave
of Kentucky, for, though they are smaller, they
far exceed it in beauty of formations. The
Gothic Temple" is about $50 feet long and rs
feet wide, filled with wonderful stalactites and
staagmtes. A second series of caverns is
reached through long, descending corridors and
up ladders, placed almost perpendiculary The
staagntes in these farther caverns are colossal,
all covered with crystal moss and lchens in trac-
cry so fine that it reminds one of frost-work on
window-panes BY holding torch back OF some
of these formations, and looking through them,
their full beauty is brought out. Samples OF
these beautiful formations in the open light show
that they are purest crystal, without spot or
flaw. Between ten and fifteen miles of this Won
derful chain OF caves have been explored, yet

Germany in the Pacific.

Germany has just gratifed her ambition for
colonial extensions of empire by purchasing from
Spain the remaining islands in the South Pacific
which have until now been under Spanish sover-
eighty. These include the Caroline Pelew, and
Ladrone or Mariana groups, the island of Guam
excepted, which was lately taken possession of by
the United States as coaling-station. The
islands adjoin the Marshall group already the
possession of Germany and all lie between the
Hawaiian and the Philippine archipelagoes. The
price of the purchase is understood to be 25,ooo,
900 pesetas, or IS, ooo,ooo-Spain receiving some
tariff advantages in addition to the money value.
The islands are partly of coral and partly of vol
canic origin, are densely wooded, and have
rich and wellwatered soil, capable of raising cot
ton, sugar, rice, maize, tobacco, besides yams.
coanuts, etc. The population of the several
groups roughly estimated to exceed 10000 be-
longs to the brown Polynesian stock, with all adj
mixture of Spanish blood. The advantages OF
the transfer OF these islands, GOO English square
miles in area. to strong colonizng and trading
Power like Germany, will be apparent; while with
the United States and England neighbors in
the Pacific the character of the administration and
protection given to the region will be greatly
raised.

The Yankee is Taller.

The Yankee is much bigger man than the
Spaniard and that is all important advantage for
the American in this war. With all his pride of
race the naughty Don is little fellow; in stature
he is least among the Europeans, averaging only
five feet five and half inches. The soldier who
fights under the Stars and Stripes averages five
feet seven and half inches; he weighs ten
pounds more than the Spaniards, and his chest
girth is nearly two inches greater. These are
points that count.
During the present war much attention will be
paid to the gathering OF statistics of all sorts re-
lating to the soldiers. This was done to some
extent during the civil conflict and some OF the
most interesting facts noted had to do with the
varying stature OF recruits from different parts
of the country.

The Oldest kepuDllc III the World.

The little republic OF San Marino, the Oldest
and smallest republic in the world, is perfect
example OF a medieval republic; for its constitu-
tons and customs are the today as they
were in the time of Dante. Every few days there
meets in the fine new palace OF the government,
opened four and a half years ago, the venerable
Council OF Sixty, twenty mobiles, twenty towns
folk and twenty countrynen, elected for life, and
presided over by the two aptains-Rcgent, one
a noble and the other commoner, who hold Of
flee for only six months at time and are not re-
eligible for three years. Taxes are practically
non-existent at San Marine, so that where an
Italian proprietor pays IS per cent, Sammari-
nese landowner pays only one and half. Having
no standing army, but only guard of honor for
the Regents, the republic is thus exempt from
another heavy burden, and will therefore not be
represented at the Cars conference; while, in
lieu of customs, it receives sum of from $4,000
to 10000 lire a year in compensation from the
Italian government. For almost the first time
the little republic is in debt There is deficit OF
10000 lire attributable to the cost of new pal
ace, new cemetery, new road (railroads are
unknown), and the expense of coming the new

Literally a Gold Fish.

One of the rarest and most expensive of Chi
nese gold fishes is the brushtail, pair OF which
sells for $1,000. The brushta gold fish is so
small that an American silver dollar will cover it,
and probably there is no other living thing of it's
size and weight that is worth so much money.
Like all the other Chinese fishes that are so nigh
ly priced by collectors, the form of the brusl1tail
is due to some extent to artificial methods The
Chinese know how to assist nature in shaping
and identifying fishes. How they do it is one of
their many secrets which we have not discovered
yet.

An Ancient Game.

One of the most popular of Korean games is
the "Pa-tok" (pebble game) known as "Wai XII"
in China and Go" in Japan. The board is like
chess-board, but with variety of color, and
with as many as 3o1 places Q9x1o, on which
men can be placed. The players object is to sur-
round bodies of his eneny's pieces. When STIFF
rounded they are considered to be captured. An
important point, however, adding much to the
completely of the pastime, is that any body OF
men, containing within itself two or more empty
spots, called "eyes," is safe from attack. 1t is
from the symbols that express this idea, go ban
no me" (eyes OF chess-board), that we have Dor.
rowed the name OF "go-bang." "Pa-tok' claims

said, by the Emperor Shun (of China) in 2255

HARE BREEDING FARM.
Young Men Expect to Make Zig Thing
Raising Rabbits.

A corner in rabbit meat in western
Pennsylvania, as we'll as Ohio valley
towns as fer down the river as Gin
cinnati, is threatened. Ten enterprls-
ing young men of Allegheny have
completed arrangements for establ sh-
ing a breeding farm near Industry,
the aim of the venture being to give
more and better meat to the great
army of consumers in this part of the
country. The common, everyday
township rabbit is not wanted, as he
is little too light for cOrnering pur-
poses, but heavier Belgian hare, an
advanced type of rabbit. Bert" ID.
Taggart, Of 513 Federal street, Ale
gheny, who is at the head of the ven
ture, wants all the Belgian hares that
he can possibly secure; 500 pairs are
needed to get the venture started right
and Mr.. Taggart expects to send to
Europe for at least 300 pairs. Speak
ing of the project Mr.. Taggart said
yesterday:
"Should everything go well in three
years we will be able to put our first
product on the market. 1t may seem
long time and the money to be eX-
pended considerable, but we think it
will pay in the long run. We purpose
to raise 100000 hares per year and
to sell them, too. We will kill and sell
them ready for the pot. One million
looks like a whole lot, but it amt so
many when you know that the people
Of Pittsburg and Allegheny eat 1,OOO,-
900 rabbits every year. Ten thousand
per day during the season is the
amount consumed. We have figured
long and closely, and with the. Ohio
valley towns, which we can reach in
IL hours time, we can easily dispose
of 100000 hares per year. violate
no confidence in saying that we expect
| to be able to furnish the hares dressed
cheaper than the ordinary pot hunter
who now supplies the market can
shoot the wild rabbit.
| The Belgian hare is by far the bet
ter for our business. He is much
larger and his meat is better. A Bel
/ gian hare will clean about four
POUNDS, while our common rabbit will
clean but two and a half pounds. The
hare, too, is very prolifc-a pair OF
good hares will produce at least three
families of six each yearly, No one
cand find fault with this increase We
have already found that our first hares
will cost us not less than 20 cents
apiece. The entire farm in the sub
urbs will be fenced in with the wire
used in chicken farms, and every eff
fort will be made to protect the little
animals and bring them on as fast as
possible to the great and hungry pub
i lie. "-Pittsburg Times.

See. win Nose and Feet.

There is blind man living in the
heart of the old quarter who walks
nearly every day to little restaurant
near Canal street, says the New Or
leans Times-Democrat. The distance
each way is from sixteen to twenty
blocks, according to his route, and to
see him sauntering careIessly along
one would never suspect his intirmity.
Talking with an inqulsit1ve report
er, he declared that he saw with his
nose and his feet, and this was the
way he explained it: when a man
has his sight, he said, ''the smells of
the street are all mixed up, but when
he's blind he learns to separate them.
The smells of the shops are almost as
plain to me now as the signs used to
be over the doors. Some of them you
would hardly suppose to exist. Take
a dry-goods store, for instance, it
smells Of cloth, and cloth has very
peculiar odor. Iron and tin have
smells of their own, and / can tell
hardware store Immediately. l pass
two bookstalls nearly every day, and
l scent them yards off by the old
books. Then there are a great many
indescribable odors by which l know
this place and that. OF course, my
feet are my principal guide, and I've
been over the same ground so often
that | have learned every little in
equality by heart, but l couldn't get
along with either nose or feet alone.
They work together, and where one
| fails the other helps out. Between
them they make very good eyes, The
secret of my stepping out is this: I've
| learned how to stop. People who can
see hurl themselves forward like loco
motives. That's why the shock is al
ways SO. unexpectedly violent when
you collide with another person. put
no extra power whatever in my move
ments, and if the toe of nay boot
touches some unknown obstacle stop
stock still instantly"
This clever blind man leads a very
| tranquil life. He has a small income
and lives with granddaughter. A
servant is hired especially to. read to
him every afternoon. Many"of those
who know him are unaware of his
| blindness.
