part of this area is devoted to the cata-
combs-a valley of dry bones, garden

vast, provides for the wants, or rather
the Injuries, Of the living-it is devot-
ed to mushroom culture. These subter-
ranesn gardens extend for some 20
miles under the gay capital and are
from 20 feet to 100 feet beneath the
surface.
It is very difficult to obtain permits
sion to visit them, and even when per-
mission is obtained it requires some
courage to avail oneself Of it, for the
only entrance is circular opening like
the mouth Of a well, out Of which q
long pole stands. Through this pole,
fastened at the top only, ut fairly long
intervals, sticks are thrust. This prim-
tive ladder, the base Of which swings
like pendulum in the impenetrable
darkness below, is the only means Of
reaching the caves. "Here," again

Gun Cotton.


y We had come into the storeroom for

made Of the stores of gun cotton. Dip

"Do you always keep the gun cotton

The gentleness Of bloodhound DISPOSE
ton is probably accounted for by their
not having been used to hunt and kill
prey. One Of the most ancient anec-
dotes Of these dogs attributes the cap
ture of fugitive to the use of his own
bloodhound. The name itself is prob
ably modern one, based on vulgar
error that the dogs only followed persons
who were ''red handed" from homicide
or who had about them the smell of re-
Gently killed sheep. The ancient name
was lyme dog or talbot, which latter
appears to have been white variety Of
bloodhound
The Cuban bloodhounds, which were
used for hunting slaves by the Spaniards
and were imported into Jamaica, were
not bloodhounds at ALL but a cross be-
sween the mastiff and bulldog, or per-
haps the "dosue" of Bordeaux. They
we're brindled, prick cared. and doubt
less horribly savage. They were, how
ever, used as police and, like the
bloodhounds on the border. were main
tanned in every parish in Jamaica,
where it was the duty of the church
wardens to keep them at the expense Of
the community. b.
Some of these dogs were kept in Lon
don during the early days of the 20
illogical gardens. The stories Of their
ferocity are probably not exaggerated,
though Lord Balcarres who imported
200 of them into Jamaica to aid in sub
dining the maroons, never used them.
He frightened the negroes into submits

about the dogs London Spectator.

to inspire his clergy to take occasional

having been moved to much eloquence
in his sermon, he felt little not IN
natural desire to know if he had made
any impression on the usually unim-
