The Cuban Gold Myth.

If we listen to the voice of the
charmer, or go to the books on Cuba
for our information, we shall find that
the mineral resources of this island in
clude gold, silver, mercury, lead, an
timony, copper, chrome, iron, man.
ganese, pitch, bitumen, and even coal;
but when we come to look for prac-
teal metallic results commensurate
with these varied mineral resources
we shall be disappointed.
The gold fiction is the most time
honored, for the original Spanish
settlers expected to find rich gold
mines in Cuba. According to their
historians much gold was taken from
this island at the beginning of the con-
quest" but 1t seems probable that
most Of this was taken from the chiefs
or caciques Of the Indians and very
little from the ground. Gel Viagero
Universal" Madrid, 1897, says-"some
Of this metal gold is still found at
Holguin. Whenever the existence of
gold in Cuba is discussed this mime"

been done ut this point and a little gold
has been extracted, but there has
never been any systematic exploration
and there is nothing there which NAV

Our NaturaIixed Names,

and by Polynesian aggregations of

How much we shall change the
sounds of these additions may be fore
seen from what has been done in the
past. We have had in such matters as
little regard for the limits of compon-
ent parts as did the German who, on
seeing the word lawyer in print. read
it lawyer. The royal Hawaiian fam
lily name, "Ka-meha meha." has in th1.
country generally been turned into
Kammy- hammy-hah, and Kalakaua
has varied in sound from Kalackaway

1t has been stated that one OF the
leading qualities exhibited by electrical
engineers during the war was readi-
ness of resource. This is we'll illus
trated in a story told by one of the
officers of the corps. There was a
good deal of uneasiness about that
time around Boston, as no one knew
but that the Spanish feet was sailing
straight for the city, and shells might
be flying within twenty-four hours.
On Saturday morning orders came
down to squad Of engineers to set
up before night complete isolated
plant for searchnght work on one Of
the Notifications in the harbor. The
men in charge Of getting the boiler
down the pay could get no suitable
boat anywhere, so they simply plugged
the holes in the boiler, rolled it off the
pier, hitched 1t TO tug, and towed 1t
down the harbor, kept afloat by the
air inside it. The men who had to
take down the engine and dynomo
managed to get their machines landed,
but there they waited, with apparently
no prospect of going further. On the
whole island there was only one truck
strong enough to carry the machines
from the dock to the fort and that
was in charge of an Irishman In the
employ Of the city of Boston, who
dOggedly maintained that he took no
orders except from the city officials
and the authority of the United States
government was nothing to him. II
was already late In the afternoon, and
there was no possibility Of reaching
the Office of the authorities in time
to secure the permit. The men simply
took the driver to their barracks, got
him dead drunk and did their OWL
driving. And the searchlight shone
down the bay that night.
