When, a few years ago, London's "tup-

we were not a little impressed by the
engineering skill which had bored long
tunnels far below the surface Of the
ground, lined them with steel tubing to
resist the earth pressure and made Z
possible for all sorts and conditions OF
men to pass through them In safety TO
and from their various occupations. IN
doubtedly It was great achievement.
But IN this, Ms III many other feats OF
skill, man was forestalled by the lower
animals. The necessity Of obtaining pro-
lection from their enemies or finding a
suficiency Of suitable food has turned
many creatures into expert tunnel and
tube makers.
We will take our FIRST example. the
shellish we'll known to lCngshoremen
by the name OF piddock. Its scientific
name is ''pholas," but its two-valved
shell has been given the pretty popular
name OF angels Wings" the reason be-
ing perfectly obvious after a glance.
Now the mollusk which resides In this
gaping shell Is very much like an oyster,
or a clam. so far as its bodily aspect Is
concerned. II seems TO be very habby

many enemies.
Certain fishes plow up the sand and

these hard-grained substances and are

manufacture OF cigars
Oriente, the mountainous province at
the eastern end Of the island, is the
principal seat OF cuba's mineral wealth.
1t contains ancient mines that were
worked by the spaniards with IndiaI
labor in the days OF De Soto. Some o,
these, notably the copper mines OF Cobre
are at present In operation. The Spanish.
American Companys iron mines are situ-
ated about six miles inland from Daiquiri
and are connected with the coast by
broad-gauge railway. The output OF these
mines is increasing, and there does not
appear to be any limit to the ore In sight.
The Juragua Iron Company has a mine
IN this region. situated like that Of the
Spanish-American Company's, about six
miles from the sea, and. like 1t, having
railroad connection with its own pier.
II Is not alone for its mineral deposits,
however, that Orienre is notable. The ex-
tremely fertile Valley Of Guantanamo con-
tains some OF the largest and best sugar
plantations IN Cuba. A similar district Is
that running back from Manzanillo Bay,
to Bayamo. The latter place. one Of the
most picturesque OF all old Cuban towns,
was destroyed during the Ten Years War

Protective League will be ready to re-
port to the trustees of the league next
week. The committee consists of r. W..
Dohrmann, Joseph d. Grant and An
drew ]. CaErigan. No meeting of the
league members will be called imme-
diately. The difficulty in getting many
men together and holding them in at
tendance when every one is trying to
get some sort of business re-sstab-
lished is the principal reason for the
delay. Some of the trustees hold that
they were authorized to formulate the
plan and to carry out the programme
best calculated to get the greatest
amount OF payments for policy holders
and that the general meeting intended
to have them go ahead and lose no
time. When the plans of the commit
tee on ways and means and procedure
are prepared. written notice and a
copy of the recommendations will be
sent out to all parties concerned, to-
gether with a general statement of the
Intentions of the trustees.
