him four witnesses. Every member of
the expedition swore he believed this
to be the continent of Asia-had they
not travelled 300 miles along the shore
without finding a break? Clearly it
could be nothing less than continent!
However, Columbus was still fearful
that some of the men on their return
might seek maliciously to damage their
leaders reputation by denying their
statements made under oath. He ac-
cordingly decreed in writing that the
officer making such refuta tion should
be heavily fined and that a ship boy
guilty of this offense should have his
tongue cut out.
Having satisfied himself of the gen.
uineness Of his discovery Columbus
turned south with the idea of leaving
his quest in strange lands. He had pro-
ceeded no great distance when he sight,
ed land. Following the shore line for
a distance he finally anchored and
landed for supply of wood and water.
He named the place Evangelista, but
paused to make no explorations. He
FASTENED on with the hope of gaining
the open sea and of finding the course
homeward. Presently, however, he
found himself in a great bay or chan
mel and the crews began to despair of
finding their way back. After a con-
sultation it was decided to double on
the trail, as it were. This they did,
sailing back along the coast of Cuba,
and the story of the trials and SUPER
stitious happenings which were part
of the return voyage is a matter of his
tory.
It was later learned that the land
to which Columbus gave the name
Evangelista is the largest island i'm
mediately adjacent to Cuba. It became
known as the Isle of Pines, doubtless
because it has a more extensive
growth of pine timber, at lower alti-
tude, than exists anywhere else in the
tropics. The bay into which Columbus
sailed is that which is now known as
the Lagoon of Siguanca. This stretch
of water penetrates deep into the is
land. To all practical purposes there
are really two islands separated by Ia
goons and swamps, but in measure
connected by the rocky lodges running
through the marsh.
There is more than an historical in
terest attached to the Isle of Pines. It
has a touch of romance, having been
once the home Of pirates! The bucca-
'neers who flaunted the black flag in the
Caribbean sea in the early days car
ried their ill-gotten gains into the Sc
cret bayous of the Isle of Pines. The
notorious Gibbs is said to have had q
den somewhere among the natural
strongholds of the island.
Politically, the island has for years
belonged to the province of Havana,
the judicial district of Bejucal. In 1858

and into which he had unwittingly al

The incident recalls a curious bit of
history connected with the second trip
of exploration made by Columbus. The
discoverer's fleet had been for many
days sailing along the southern coast
OF Cuba, Columbus being under the i'm
preston that the latter was the coast
of Asia. But the thorough old mariner,
though he had no doubt himself that a
party might by landing return to Spain

the thought that a single member of
his company might question it. To
satisfy himself on this point he sent a

SOMETHING ABOUT THE

political offenders-are to be seen upon
the gray and .weather-beaten faces of
the mountains of marble in the Sardas
quarries. Within q distance Of two
miles there. are six peaks, each fully
1000 feet high. Despite the fact that
marble of the finest grain and color is
to be found in these mountains, the
quarries have been little worked since
the days Of the convict colony The
people-there are about 1000 on the
island-confine themselves chiefly to
the growing of bananas, the raising
of cattle, the cultivation of a few agri-
cultural products, the making of to-
bacco poles and the burning Of char
coal.
An American who has visited the Isle
Of Pines reports that the six marble
mountains are enclosed by barbed
wire fence and owned by an old mu-
latto woman who lives in an adobe
house at the foot of one of her noun
tains. The principal towns, Nueva
Corona and Santa Fe, are squalid and
unpretentious, though the latter is rec
ognized as resort on account of its
mineral springs. There are few people
on the island outside the villages. There
are few plantations and pineapples and
other products are not cultivated ex-
tensively, though small quantities are
raised. Doubtless the reason for this is
that the only available market is the
city of Havana and the transportation
is very poor.
Besides the pines, cedar, mahogany
and other valuab BILE woods are found in
great abundance. 1t is reported that
sulphur, rock crystal, quicksilver, iron

In a word, the island is potentially

its great value lies in the deep inden-

NO FRAME HOUSES.
South Africa Uses q Great Deal Of
Brick and Cement In
Building,

South Africa is without a peer as
a customer for cement, says United
States Consul General Stowe at Cape
Town in recent communication to
the department of state, according to
the Washington Star. All the build
ings there, he says, all the ware
houses, stores and residences, are
built of brick, cemented on the out
side, and no wood or frame" houses
are to be seen.
The bricks used in South Africa
are larger than American bricks, and
are laid up" principally with mud -
the inferior clay found in that region,
instead of lime mortar or cement.
The cement comes into play in the
outside finish of the buildings. It is
laid over the whole surface, and the
expert Malay masons in South Africa
produce very pleasing and unique ef-
fects in finishing up caps, columns
and holdings, closely initiating the
natural stone in this decorative work.
\ striking effect is produced by
SPdIlcl1AS SOme OF the larger
buildings with cement, which pre-.
sents a rough exterior very striking
and pleasing to the eye, and also dur
able.
The greater part of the cement i'm.
ported into South Africa last wear,
states the consul general, came from
Great Britain, and over 125, 5,0oo, ,oo0
pounds into the country, all told.
"When I left the United States,' saws
Mr.. Stowe, "our manufacturers Of ce.
ment were producing an article which
was proved by tests to be as good as
the English, and that cement ought
to find a large market here. While
the United States at the present time
would be hampered on account of the
excessive steamship rates to this
country. which would prevent compe.
tition with the German and Belgian
cements, yet am convinced with
equal rates the United States cement
could find a market here in larqe
quantities. Cement Of the desired
quality will never be manufactured
