Against Saloons.

ton meeting at the town hall and pro-
tested vigorously against the saloons
which have recently been opened in the

One Of the speakers said that theT
could be no better emblem Of temper
ance aggressiveness than The ak that
once was Carries" and this was fol-
lowed by APPLAUSE, and the whole audi

"Oh. the az that once was Carries is il

Say He Was Original Owner.

Il is stated that the descendants Of q
French soldier named Villiot have fled
suit in the Federal Court in Arkansas

that State. The property in question
has been held by the United States for

The Geological Survey has issued a

gestive facts regarding the island are
noted in a bulletin issued today.

and population in 1898 OF I,572, 797, only
, per cent of the area Of the island and
only 10 per cent Of the area in farms
was under cultivation. The most highly
cultivated portions OF the island were
in Matanzas and Havana provinces,
which lie adjoining in its western part,
while in Puerto Principe, the large cen
trail province, cultivation vas c0mpar-
atively slight and the land was used
mostly for cattle ranches
The crops in the order OF ar4as cult
waited, were First, sugar cane, occupy
ing somewhat less than half Of the cul-
tiyated area; next, sweet potatoes, oc-
cupying Il per cent OF the area; tobacco
9 per cent, and bananas q trife less than
g Der cent.
Tobacco and sugar were grown in all
the provinces. In 1899 there were in
Cuba z07 sugar mills. with a csfy pro-
duction OF 81 ,407 bags

Tough Kangaroo Skin.

The skin Of the kangaroo is porous in
those parts where lesion IS necessary in
running or il jumping as at the TANKS
forward and under thu hind legs. but the
true skin is close-greined and remark
ably tough, and there is no part Of this
stock but what is valuable for some pur-
pose. The porosity which apcars in the
grain, does not affect the strength of the
material The pores extend no further
than through the outside covering Of the
skin proper. a covering those purpose
seems to be to protect the real skin
which il incIOses at all points.
The parts OF the skins most promi-
nently noticeable for the amount and

flow which may be expected at various
stages Of the streams. This factor is Of
the greatest Importance for it obviously
