That "self-Growing Barn"

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Under the caption 1.-THE Self-growing

DAYS Star from the Pittburg Gazette gave
information of the phenomenal growth OF
of posts placed in the ground by farmer
in a certain quarter of Kentucky to be
used as supports for barn. the ground in
that section being moist and conducive to
rapid growth Said posts grew to such
an extent that the farmer found it neces-
sary to build additional floors to fill the
space caused by his supererogatory posts

impression. AS is well known by all low

forty-one ailess and the intermediate points
will be the towns of Ponce, Matun, Guanal
Grande, Managuago, Caoba, Aguada, Per-
severancia, San Miguel, Amerillas and Cali
mente The section would derive great
benefit from the construction of this road
says the consul, as the products of the pro-
ductive interior region would find an out
let through Cienfuegos 1t is estimated
that the export ofssugar would be increas-
ed to the extent; of 100000 bags annually.
The consul says the road would shorten the
time for passenger travel between Glen
fuegos and iHabana from four to five hours,
and would place Cfenfuegos in direct COM
municationsa with many outlying towns
under its peifticaf jurisdiction.
