CHINESE LIKE MOTOR CARS.

Along with other modern ideas the Chi
nese are adopting the motor car. Although
the roads adapted to it's use are very few
and mostly in the viciity of the larger
cities, wealthy Cinnamon are buying cars
There are a dozen or more motor cars in
Tientsin, two or three of which are owned
by Chinese, the others belonging to foreign
residents. TheSe are also about half
dozen in Pekin. The streets Of the Tientsin
foreign settlement are broad and level, well
macadamized and excellent for motoring.
The boulevard encircling the native city is
also good for the purpose. 1t occupies the
site Of the old city wall and moat, which

RICHES OF CUBA.

The richness OF its soil is what makes
cuba one great sugar plantation. The area
throughout the world for the growth of su-
car cane is. Of course. limited TO tropical
or semi-tropical lands. Cuba happens 70
have more Of the conditions which favor
The cane than other tropical countries that
raise sugar.
cuba. however. is something more than
q big srgar plantation. The peculiar qua IL
ties of tnc soil in the western part OF thc
island are such that a tobacco Is produced
there which is unequalled in any part OF
ihe world. This region Is not very .exten-
sive. and that is the reason why THIS TO-
hacco is so valuable. Other grades are pro-
duccd in other parts of the island, or good
quality. but they are not quite UP to that
which comes from the western end.
The raising of tropical fruits s1ch as
o,ancas nineapples and bananas. Is also
an important factor in the national wealth.
