CUBA HAS MINERAL WEALTH
Is Essentially an Agricultural Country,
But Other Resources Are Now
Attracting Attention.

Cuba is essentially an agricultural
country, but the mineral resources
have of late years attracted attention,
so that the products of the land prom
Use to be more diversified as Cuba be-
comes better understood.
The province of Oriente, as Santiago
is now known, is the richest as regards
mineral wealth. At the beginning of
1913 there We're 1910 mines registered
metals produced being iron, "copper"
manganese, gold, mercury, zinc, lead,
silver and anthony; coal, asphalt, as
bestos and petroleum were produced
also. Other provinces have registered
about the same kind of metals, some
with the addition of sulphur The as
phalt beds of Cuba, it is believed, and
the bitumen deposits in general will
eventually prove superior to any others
in the world. The possibilities of a
great industry from them are already
promising. Some oil has also been pro-
duced in Cuba. Mineral waters Of
great merit are found at number of
points in the island, and the springs
have for years been popular among the
inhabitants.

INDIAN TRIBE HAD WIRELESS
South American Red Men, as Lono
Ago as 1898, Used Unique System
of Communication.

In these days Of wireless telegraphy
1T may be interesting to learn that as
long ago as July, 1898, there was re.
corded the discovery of a wireless tele.
graphic apparatus in use among the
Catuquinaru, an Indian tribe of the
Amazon valley in South America, the
Geographic Journal states.
The apparatus, called cambarysu,
consists of hole in the ground about
half filled with coarse sand above this
layers Of fine sand, fragments of wood
and bone and powdered mica fill it al
most to the surface of the ground.
These materials are surrounded by a
case Of hard palm wood, which ex-
tends above the surface. The upper
part Of the apparatus consists of lay
ers Of hide, wood and hard rubber.
Between the upper layers and the
lower layers there is a hollow space.
With club, much like the stick used
to play t he bass drum, the native
strikes the layer of rubber that forms
the top of the instrument.
One of these instruments is con-
cealed In each hamlet of the tribe. The
villages are not more than mile
apart and placed in a direct north
and south line. Although person
standing outside the building in which
the apparatus is kept cannot hear a
blow of the stick on the rubber top, it
Is quite distinct in similar building
mile distant. When one of these in
struments is struck the neighboring
ones to the north and south echo the
blow. The Indian stationed at each
one of the posts answers the signal,
and by means of code messages long
conversation may be carried on.

"Dressmakinq Not an Art"

That drc'smaking is not an art, but
labor, was held by jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case Of Albert de Vroye, husband Of
Marie de Vroye, fashionable dress
maker, says the st. Louis Star. He
was fined $1,000 for violation of fed
eral statute forbidding the importation
of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tons, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay, attorney for De
Vroye, contended a skilled dressmaker
is an artist
The prosecuting witness was Bel
gian woman. She testified that in 1911
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Yroye in Brussels news
paper for a premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Vroye in Brussels at 375 francs
(about $72) month and brought to
the United States.

Everywhere thousands of men, wom-
