''WeI, of course. l took the greatest

things about Havana that also attracted my
attention. One of these was the houses.

there are over here; that is, no elegant man

one story high and they are exceedingly
large and spacious. All of them have i'm

rooms lead off from this. One of the odd

the high ceilings, which are from twenty
five to thirty feet high. Many of them
are elegantly decorated after the old Span

cut singly and strung a thread; then
again he has them cut two at a time and

This depends wholly on the atmospheric
conditions. They are hung up to dry for a
little while in the open air and then they
are taken to the drying sheds, where they

C0R LOUIS G. DESCHLER. of this

from Havana, Cuba, where he
lsSzgI went for two distinct purposes
- pleasure and business-fOr that
city is the largest tobacco market in the
world. and is surrounded by tobacco plan
tations Mr.. Deschler. in talking of his
trip. said
in my estimation Havana is the coming
winter resort for Americans because, you
see it is only an eight-hour ride from Key
West. and the climate over there is so soft
and balmy in the winter that it is most
delightful. You can notice very distinctly
the change from the harsher atmosphere
of Key West to the soft air of Havana as
you go over
when / arrived it was in the dead of
winter, and every one there was wearing
white flannel suits and straw hats. The
city, as il now is, is so very clean that one
can wear white linen suit for three and
four days without even soiling it. There
are no fires, consequently there is no dirt
and smoke flying. and the streets. which
were formerly so dirty, are now perfectly
clean. There are number of Indianapolis
people there, but it was my misfortune not
to meet many of them
Mr. Deschler was asked if the opportu-
mites in that country for young men are
exaggerated, and he replied:
mo. indeed; there are all kinds of oppor-
tunities down there, and from what l had
heard l thought so many people had gone
there and bought up the land that surely
there was little left in the way of new
country, but in this / was mistaken, for l
saw thousands of acres of land that were
not cultivated and which could be bought
very cheap. Much of this land could be
made into admirable tobacco plantations.
One of the queer things l noticed in regard
TO this was that in section of the coun-
try the land resembled our yellow clay
very closely. and IL was here that all of
the tobacco-raising was done. In another
section the land was perfectly black and
looked very much like that in the corn belt
of this State and Illinois; it is here where
the sugar cane is grown.
Il learned that they had experimental
many times with tobacco in this black soil,
but it would not grow, and that the yell
low ground seemed TO be just about right
for it. While I was there / spent much
of the time with Mr.. Louis Marx, who
