KEY WEST.

Now, to change the subject, let me
say something of Key West. And
first, as to the name Key West"
Why is it socalled? The word key
in this name is derived from the
Spanish word "cayo. which means a
small rocky island. The word west"
comes from another Spanish word
which means either stone or bone,
'hueso" So that Key West in Spanish
is caelld "Cayo Hueso." or Island
Bone, or Bone Island. The tradition
says that when the Spanish came to
it they found a large quantity of bones
whether human or lower animals
deponent sayeth not-hence they
called it "Cayo Hueso" or Bone Is
land. So much for the name. 1t lies
$50 miles from Tampa, 165 miles
from Miami, and 80 miles from Ha-
vana, right out into the Gulf of Mex
leo. 1t is about 80 miles from Tor
tugas. 1t is said to be so miles from
the nearest point on the mainland and
contains about 1000 acres of coral
formation. You may stand at any
point on any street, when the view
lis not INSTRUCTED, and see water at
either end of the street. Yet it con-
tains over $4,000 people-mostly ma
tives of the Bahama Islands, and their
descendants, Cubans and negroes. Its
cigar industry is very large. and des-
tined, it is believed, to be the great
est manufacturer of cigars of any
place in the United States, perhaps,
in the world, because of its excellent
adoption of its climate to that bust
ness. 1t has the finest climate have
ever lived in. The thermometer. has
never gone over SO nor below AZ since
L have been here, and there is de-
lightful breeze blowing nearly all the
