evening wear, the ingenuity OF cOstum-

CHAPTER XVI.
The Troeha.


OF all the military measures en-
ployed by the Spaniards in their wars
against Cuban independence, perhaps
the most unique was the trocha-
trench or traverse. Martinez Campos
during the Ten Years war built the
first trocha just west of the Cubitas
mountains where the waist of the
island is narrowest. Not until Wey-
Ier's time were the two methods OF
pacification, the trocha and the concen-
tration camp, developed to their fullest
extent. Although his trochas hindered
the free movement of Cuban troops
and his prison camps decimated the
peaceful population of several prov
inces, the Spanish cause gained little.
Both trenches and prison camps be
came Spanish graveyards.
At the time Johnnie O'Reilly set out
for MatanZas the war-a war without
battle, without victory, without defeat
had settled into grim contest OF en-
durance. In the east, where the insur-
rectos were practically supreme, there
was food of a sort, but beyond the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha-the old one OF
Campos' building-the country was
sick. Immediately west of it, in that
district which the Cubans called Las
Villas, the land lay dying, while the

Scientists Familiar With Many Varie-
ties That Indulge in a Sort OF
BacchanaIian Festival.

There would seem to be-no partic-
ular reason from the human stand
point why the ivy should be called the
plant of Bacchus, since no wine Is
made from its berries. Entomologists,
however, have found that the ivy

Men Of science are wont to sally forth
at night with lanterns to capture the
intoxicated moths that crowd around
the greenish blossoms. When the

Food became a problem immediate
