FARMING IN CUBA.

Persons interested in farming will
find attractive reading in the volume
on the Cuban census issued by the
government, which takes up at length
the subject of agriculture in the is
land. Before the last war there were
nearly 100, 900 plantations, farms, or
chards and cattle ranges. While the
country was devastated for three years
by hostilities, much has already been
done by the people of the island to
repair the damage. and Cuba is again
assuming a condition to become an
important factor in an agricultural
way.
The two leading products on which
the wealth of Cuba has mainly de-
pended are sugar and tobacco. In
1894, the year before the opening of
the instruction against Spain, the
output of sugar, according to the re-
port referred to, was more than one
million tons-four times as large as
that of the United States. Two years
later it was only 225, 900 tons. An
income of $50. 900, 900 was thereby re-
duced to SIC, 100000. Robert P. Por-
ter. who was United States commits
sioner to the island, is quoted as esti-
mating the profit of sugar plantations
in 1894 at 10 per cent on the capital
invested. The sugar crop for the
present year is estimated at only
2S4 900 tons. The rehabilitation of
the large plantations will be slow and
expensive. But the census experts
predict that in a few years, under
favorable conditions, Cuba may be-
come the greatest sugar producing
country of the world. About 80 900
of the Islanders are employed in rails
ing tobacco. The crop of 1894 was
valued at $22 OO0 900. That for the
last year is about four-fifths as
large.
Cuba has been handicapped in its
agricultural development, the report
claims, by the high tariff on imple-
ments from the United States. Most
of the farming tools in use were
bought in Spain and are of an inferior
quality. Now, however, agricultural
implements are admit ed free from
America. The lack of good roads has
proved another serious drawback.
Few highways away from the cities
are passable for wagons even in the
dry seasons. This condition can be
gradually overcome, and will dis
appear as the people become informed
as to the benefits that will result from
good roads. =
The census experts believe that
coffee culture, too. will be revived ,
and that the United States may ex-
pect in Cuba a revival in the cultiva-
ton of oranges, lines, lemons, olives,
pineapples, cocoanuts and many other
fruits and all kinds of vegetables, the
latter being of almost perennial
growth, as in California, where one
crop succeeds another.

be dragged into politics. The resolu

ONCE more, the peculiarities of the
late election. The official tabulation
of the vote of Ohio, completed yester-
day by the secretary of state. shows
among the rather unusual and
wholly unexpected results the fact
that MIR. Bryan received exactly the
same number of votes this year that
he did in 1S96-474. S62. The tabula-
ton shows that none of the five mi
nority parties-whose vote was much
smaller than expected-is entitled to
a place on the official ballot next year,
and if they place candidates in nomi-
nation it will have to be by circula-
ton of petitions.

The only structures in Japan which
seem TO he earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many which are
seven or eight hundred years old ana
as solid rs when first built.
There is reason for this and it lies
In their construction. 4 pagoda Is
practically a frame work OF heavy
timbers. which starts from a wide
base. and is in itself a substantial
structure, but is rendered still more
stable by peculiar device. Inside the
framework and suspended from the
apex is a long, heavy beam of timber
two feet thick or more. This hangs
from one end of the four sides; foul
more heavy timbers, and IL the pagod'
be very lofty, still more timbers. ar
added to these. The whole forms al
enormous pendulum, which reache
within six inches of the ground.
When the shock of an earthquake
rocks the pagoda the pendulum swing
In unison and keeps the centre Q
: gravity always at the base of tn
framework. Consequently the equilil
rum Of the pagoda is never DISTURBED
= and this is the explanation OF IL
9 great age of many of them, VINE
q from their height one would suppo'
i them to be particularly susceptlp
t, to the effects of the earthquake.
