Origin of the Name Cuba,

From the Philadelphia Record
The board Of geographical names has put
N considerable time finding the origin of the
name Cuba. The result is announced as
follows:
Cuba is the name by which the island
was originally known to the Lucayan In
Giars. who were with Columbus when he
discovered il. One of its villages or cities
was called by them Cubanacan, and II is
reported that from the similarity of sounds
Columbus, stu supposing himself to be on
the coast of Asia, imagined that this must
be city of kubia kahan. the Tartar SOW
ereign celebrated by Marco Polo. The sur
Nival Of the original name for Cuba is a
remarkable Instance Of persistence as the
island has been baptized and rebaptized
many times since its European discovery
Columbus first called it Juana in honor Of
Prince John the son of Ferdinand and Isa-
bella After Ferdiuands death IL was
called. III his memory. Ferdinandia. Suisse
Quently this name was changed to Santiago
after St. James. the patron saint of Spain
Still later IL was named Ave Maria in
honor Of the Virgin Mary. But none of
these names held, and the Indian name is
still preserved.

TRAPPED BY HIS VICTIM.
Chauffeur Had Seriously Injured
Driver of a Carriage

A dispatch to the New York Herald from
Hampstead, L. l., yesterday says: Although
he was suffering intensely from a broken
rib and many other injuries John F. Rem
sen ascertained the name of the driver of
the automobile by which he was injured
by a plucky stratagem. By keeping his
frightened horse in the roadway, directly
in front of the machine, Remsen regulated
its speed until the village of Roslyn was
reached. when the man consented to go be-
fore Justice of the Peace c. r. Remsen and
reveal his identity.
The accident occurred at one of the sharp
turns Of the North turnpike at Roslyn
west of the country seats of Clarence H.
Mackay and William C. Whitney. Mr.
Remsen was driving spirited horse along
the turnpike His wife and two children
were with him.
Without any warning, the blowing of horn
or ringing of bell, he declares, large auto
mobile turned a sharp angle of the road
and crashed into the vehicle. Mrs. Remsen
and the children were thrown some dis
lance from the road. but escaped without
serious injury. Remsen was soundly shaken
up, had a rib broken and received a number
of painful Commissions. The horse ran away.
When he had somewhat recovered from
his dazed condition Mr.. Remsen ran to the
chauffeur and insisted upon him going in
pursuit. After much discussion he reluc-
family consented to do so. After many eff
forts the frightened horse was caught some
distance from the wreck.
Then the chauffeur was about to turn on
the full force of his machine and escape,
but the auickness of Mr. Remsen prevented
this Keeping the horse in the center of
the road, he walked back and forth before
the chauffeur until the village of Rosiyn
was reached, when the chauffeur gave the
name of w. L. Guenther of Bayside
On the North Shore drives are some miles
of smooth macadam roads, and these have
been great rendezvous for chauffeurs who
dash along at railroad speed. Portions of
the road have been surveyed under the
mann Of Nassau county, and policemen will
be stationed at intervals with stop watches
and, by a system of flags. will time all ma
Chimes and chauffeurs exceeding the fiji
teen-mile limit will be arrested.
Trucks will be kept at different portions
of the road to prevent the chauffeurs from
passing certain points should the speed
limit be exceeded.

WAVED DRESS, STOPPED TRAIN.
Boy and His Sister Saved a Train
From Wreck.

special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from Poughkeepsie, N. Y, yesterday saws:
Eldridge Finkle, fifteen years old, and his
sister, aged thirteen, saved train on the
Poughkeepsie and Eastern railroad from
being wrecked today, and doubtless saved
many lives, by tagging the locomotive just
in time to prevent it from rolling upon
spread rails, which would have thrown il
down steep embankment.
The children We're gathering raspberries
near Boston Corners, Duchess county. and
the boy noticed that the rails were spread.
The girl wore red frock and the boy
made her take it Off With the red dress
in his hand the lad started up the track to
meet the train He waved the dress and II
came to a standstill within a few feet of
the dangerous trap.
The trainmen did not notice what the bow
had waved as a danger signal until they
saw him hand the frock to his sister and
heard him say:
Put on your dress, Mary and let's 90
home
There were about twenty passengers on
the coach, and they say that the children
got away before they could be thanked or
rewarded. They are the children of Pierre
Finkel, farmer, who lives near the An
cram lead mines.
The passengers will probably raise a purse
for the children.

GREAT SALT FIELD.
How Product is Obtained in the Colo
rada Desert.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
In the middle of the Colorado desert
little to the north of the Mexican border,
and 264 feet below the level of the sea, lies
a field of crystaliZed salt more than thou
sand acres in extent, presenting a surface
as white as snow, and beneath the monday
glare of the sun dazzling that the naked
eye cannot stand its radiance, ii stretches
away for miles and miles about Salton,
Col, an ocean of blazing, blisterng white.
Here daily throughout the year men are
at work overturning the great deposit with
massive ploughs and scrapers, getting it
into great piles preliminary to putting
through the refining process. The salt
ploughs used to secure the harvest are great
four-wheeled implements, driven by steam
and managed by two m,n. The salt crust
is thrown up in parallel ridges, then la
borers with hoes work it to and fro in the
water, washing out the dirt, preliminary
to stacking it in mounds to be taken to the
mill
Sat springs in adjacent foothills are con-
stantly contributing to the deposit, and so
heavily l-den are they with almost pure
salt that the plough has hardly passed
before a new crust has formed in the fur
row left. This fact renders it unnecessary
to operate more than small portion of
the vast deposit. At present only ten acres
are worked.
AS may be supposed work in these fields
is performed under the most trying condi-
tons No white man can stand the intense
heat, and for this reason the work is done
wholly by japanese and by Coahuila In
dians. OF these the Indians are by far the
better adapted to the work, the japanese
performing only one portion, sewing the
sacks in which the salt is shipped. The at
mosphere, laden as 1t is with particles of
salt gives rise to painful thirst, and the
only available drinking water comes from
a single well. 1t is war; and ill-tasting.
Beautiful mirages frequently appear
above the great salt field in the daytime,
sky pictures of magnificent cities and flow
er dotted, tree shaded fields. Tie moon
light too. produces wondrously beautiful
effects upon the great neld of cleaning
salt Fc. several weeks in the year the
thermometer on the salt field averages 140
degrees. and the reflection of the sun pro-
duces a glare like that from a furnace.
The deposits vary in thickness from ten to
twenty inches. and form a solid crust over
the great marsh. 1t is estimated that
about seven hundred tons are now ploughed
up daily.

THE FISH MARKET.
Preferences of Different Nationalities
in Sea Food.

From the New York Evening Post.
The demand for FISH is so Irregular that II
is impossible for many fish stores to pros
per. On five days of the week there is but
little call for sea food. but two the situ-
alton is reversed. Friday the Roman Cath
oics use it in place of meat, and from Fri
day at sunset to Saturday evening the or
thodox Jews prefer IT to other forms of
animal nutriment To supply these two
classes gives employment to several hun
dred peddlers. Thursday is their busy day.
They may be found from early morning till
nightfall in the neighborhood of Fulton fish
market. Here they purchase their stock in
trade, and from here they push their little
carts to their favorite corners or beats.
They seem to have Partially for fishes
which are frozen solid. This Partially is
explained by a Fulton market man by the
reason that frozen fish costs less than fresh
ones, or those which have been kept and
preserved by a moderate use of ice.
The supplies depend largely upon the dis
trict where they are to be sold. The Irish
like cod, the English founder, Americans
bluefish, the Germans smells, while the
Russian Jews are extremely fond of carp,
more especially the variety which has the
brilliantly colored scale plates. Arrived at
their destinations the peddlers have but
little time to wait. In many Of the districts
there are crowds of housewives and daugh-
tiers standing on the corner waiting for
them, but they do not buy in a hurry.
Every purchase Is the final act and scene
of a long drama of pickering and chatter
ing. Sometimes the buyer denounces the
peddler as a cheat, turns and prances off in
a high rage, but ere a minute has passed
she is back again resuming the argument.
Sometimes on busy days a single break
like this enables other buyers to step in and
purchase all of the dealers stock Then
there is a worse row with the disappointed
buyer than before.
On Hester street Friday afternoon il
is not uncommon to see fifty push carts
laden with fish standing in long lines up
and down the street The people can al
ways tell the condition of the market by
the aspect Of the wagon. In very stormy
weather. when stocks drop down and prices
go up, the pedders buy as little as possible.

DICKINSON BOOMS CHoATE.
Says Ambassador to England Has
Chance for Presidency

A dispatch from London yesterday says:
Speaking at the annual dinner of the Har-
wicke Society in London tonight, Don NJ
Dickinson of Detroit, who was counsel for
the United States before the international
high commission on the Boring claims
in 1897, referred to Joseph H. Choate, the
United States ambassador, as a possible
candidate for the presidency of the United
States. The company consisted of several
hundred members of the English bar, law
lords and Justices The Earl of Deasart,
director of public prosecutions; Sir Charles
Upper, formerly prime minister Of Can
ada; Sir Edward George Clarke, formerly
solicitor general; Justice Bartlett of New
York; Lord Hardwicke. under secretary
for India, and other members of the gov
eminent and a number of colonial judges
We're among the guests
Mr.. Dickinson took Mr.. Choates place as
the guest of honor. He prefaced his pro-
posal of a toast to the English bench by a
tribute to Mr.. Choate. Mr.. Choate does
not belong said Mr.. Dickinson, Ito my
party or to my government, but 1t is very
near the hearts Of the American people
that he shall go from the court of St.
James to the presidential chair, and 1 wish
he may get there
pathetic joy of the American people at
the certainty of the recovery of the illus
trious and beloved King of England. We
rejoice continued the speaker, with you
in your joys and sorrow with you in your
griefs. That feeling has been expressed by
no one more truly than by President Roose-
welt, who is as close to the people of Amer
lea as has been any President in the his
tory of the republic
Mr.. Dickinson compared President Roose-
welt, amid the enthusiastic cheers of those
present, to Sir Philip Sydney, Sans peur
ct sans reproche."
Dealing with international feeling, Mr..
Dickinson said:
I'VE of the United States have long since
champions of liberty" He cited the recent
dispatch of Joseph Chamberlain, the CO.
lonial secretary, declaring that the consti-
tuition of the Cape Colony should not be
suspended as an instance of Great Britain s
love of liberty. He declared that America
deeply sympathized with Mr.. Chamberlain
in his recent accident, and concluded by
saying:
Great Britain and the United States can
make the worlds freedom wider yet, not
by alliance, but by an understanding that
We, the English-speaking nations, mean
Well by the rest of the world and that the
other nations must not attack either one
of US
Mr.. Dickinson was loudly cheered
Lord McNaughton, lord of appealing
ordinary, replying to Mr.. Dickinson, de-
ciared that American legal decisions were
now held in respect in England equal to
that with which the old English legal prece-
dents were held in the United States

for laboratory purposes.
The second floor will be set aside for the
administrative and clerical work, for the
library and for the museum, In which
standards and apparatus of historical i'm
portance will be preserved.
well-equipped chemical laboratory will
be fitted up on the third floor, part of which
will accommodate Il laboratory for photo

vded on this floor a lecture room with
seating capacity of $50 or 200. AS 1t will be
the policy of the bureau to keep in close
touch with the interests it serves, it is
hoped that It may soon be in a position to
extend invitations to scientific and techni-
cal associations to hold their meetings from
time to time In Washington.
AS to the value of an institution Of this
character, much has been said by govern
ment officials, who have been compelled to
go abroad constantly for work which it is
contemplated to do in the new bureau.
Its relation to foreign commerce will be
far reaching, and its establishment means
that the United States has taken a long
step forward in the international race for
commercial supremacy.

Substitutes for Panama Hats.

From the Japan Times
Panama straw hats are highly fashionable
IN Japan, though on account of the price,
which is much higher than that of the
ordinary straw hats, they are bought only
By the rich or the fashionable. This OBJ
stacle may be removed if, as reported In
an Osaka paper. the substitutes for the
Panama straw found in middle Formosa
are really adapted for the purpose. The
substitutes are said to be the fibers of
the leaves Of a certain tropical tree of very
rapid growth. Six fibers can be obtained
from each leaf, which is about four inches
wide and four feet long, and il is said that
the cost Of ten thousand fbers Is about
six yen. A certain foreign firm of Yoke
hama Is said to have already given a large
order for the fberS and the Panama hats
made with this new material may therefore
appear on the market this summer. II the
new fbers are really suited for headgear
Formosa may be said to have hit upon a
new resource.

MoCKINGBIRD's DANGER.
determination Threatens It in Louis
iana-Protection Refused.

From the New York Sun.
The influence of the New Orleans bird
fanciers has prevented the Louisiana leg
islature from passing a law for the protec-
ton of birds. One result of this is to in
crease the danger of the determination of
the mockingbrd in Louisiana, Audubons
state. The mockingbirds were once the
most abundant Of all birds in Louisiana.
The legislature even proposed to substitute
them as the state bird for the pelican. But
in the past thirty years the bird has been
slaughtered as though the aim and purpose
of the people were to get rid Of it.
The slaughter began in 1865, when the ne
groes first owned shotguns. The mocking-
birds, because of years of safety, were the
tamest and most impudent of birds. and
therefore the most easily killed. Thou
sands were slaughtered to make potpies
for the negroes of the quarters. The negro
hunters have been followed by the bird
fanciers. who will probably succeed in ex-
tingulshing all song birds or birds of
bright plumage In the state. They want
live mockingbirds to sell. 1t is said that
10000 mockngbirds and other songb.rds are
shipped from New Orleans each year. most
of them going to Europe and to Germany in
particular.
The loss in birds in much heavier than
this. 1t is probable that four or five are
caught for every one exported. The mock
HSp.loS 40 not TAKE ~ captivity anu prove
very delicate cage birds, although strong
and vigorous when at large. Like the Cen
trail American quetZal. the old birds pine
in captivity and soon die. The mortality is
heavy among the young birds. 1t is still a
popular belief in Louisiana that the par
ents of young birds, preferring to see their
offspring dead rather than in captivity,
poison them when they find them Gagged
and it is n fact that the older birds do
gather around the cage of the young cap
tive and offer it food.
So rare has the mockingbird become
through these prosecutions that one can
travel year after year through the woods
and never hear it sing save in captivity.

RECEPTION FOR KITCHENER
Preparations in London for an Elab-
crate Welcome.

dispatch from London yesterday says:
The program for the reception of Lord
Kitchener upon his arrival from South
Africa Is similar to the one carried out
upon the occasion Of the homecoming Of
Lord Roberts, the commander-in-chief of
the forces.
After his elaborate welcome at Southamp-
ton Lord Kitchener Is expected to reach
London at noon Of July H. He will be es-
corted to st. James Palace, where he will
be entertained at luncheon by the Prince
of Wales. The prince will act for the king,
and it is said that his majesty, were it not
for his illness, would have honored Lord
Kitchener by entertaining him at luncheon.
as he did Lord Roberts when the latter re-
turned.
The resolution adopted by the London
county council to tender Lord Kitchener
the congratulations Of the county of Lon
don upon the successful termination of the
South African war was opposed by Lord
Russell, liberal, who remarked that he
could not forget or forgive the judicial muir
der of Commandant Scheepers. The reso-
luton was passed with only dozen dis
senting votes.
