The Name Cuba.

Cuba Is the name By which the is
land was originally known to the Luz
cayan Indians. who were with Column
bus when he discovered 1t. One Of its
villages or cities was called by them
Cubanacan. and it is reported that
from the similarity Of sounds Column
bus. still supposing himself TO be on
the coast OF Asia, imagined that this
must be city of Kublai Khan. the
Tartar sovereign celebrated by Marco
Polo. The survival Of the original
name for Cuba is a remarkable in
stance OF persistence, as the island has
been baptized aud rebaptized many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana i'll honor
Of Prince John the son Of Ferdinand
and Isabella. After Ferdinand's death
1t was called in his memory Fernan-
dina. subsequently this name was
changed to Santiago, after st. James,
the patron saint Ct Spain. Still later
1t was named Ave Maria. in honor OF
the Virgin Mary. But none Of these
names held, and the Indian name is
Sill preserved.

TELEPHONES FOR RANGERS.
Adopted as an Aid to Fighting Forest
Fires, a

Rangers in the national forests will
be supplied with portable telephone
sets with a special flexible wire which
can be easily and quickly run along
the ground to isolated places in the
forests. The telephones will be of use
in summoning help to prevent a repe-
tition of the disastrous conAagrations
in the northwest of last August.
The adoption of these Telephones is
the result OF experiments made since
last summer with sets similar to those
used by the signal corps f.
Prevention Of large fires has been
furthered since last year through
lengthening trails and extending per
manent telephone lines. When the fire
season arrives an extra force of ran
gers will protect the isolated parts of
the forests, laying their telephone lines
along the ground as they go. Metal
boxes containing fire fighting impie.
ments, together with a supply of food,
have also been distributed along the
many trials where they viii be easy
of access.
