Cuba was discov ered by Columbus on Lis first voyage, in 1192. The first organized attempt made by the Spaniards to colonize Cuba was in 1511 by Diego who brought over a small force from Santo Domingo, the large island to the east of Cul-a.

Velasquez was a typical Spanish conqueror, and resorted at once to typical Spani-sh methods. The gentle and simple natives were frightened when they saw the Spaniards on horseback, and fled lefore them. Velasquez pursued them and tramped them teneath his horses' hoofs. In the course of the first fifty years after Velasquez settled Cuba the native imputation of 500.000 lieings was swept away and exterminated. Spain has occupied Cuba for 387 years, except that its capital.

One of the things most forcibly impressing the merchant who feels a desire to return lo the cultivation of the soil is the waste and leakage which teem natii.ra'.ly a part of farm life. Any merchant who had the same leakages would soon be forced to call a meeting of his creditors and have very little on the dollar to give them in settlement. How is it at the barnyard, that leak at which every farmer must first commence work to reach his miuef Journals on agriculture have for years been warning the farmer of the los in shai of liquid. iotash and nitrogen, and we find the farmer throwing his manure against the barn or into the barnyard, there, to have its best elements leached out by rain. Such wastes denote a poor farmer and a bad busi- ness man.

On, nearly every farm of the farmer who will not or thinks he cannot provide tight floors and proper drainage to a receiving vauH or tank, can I found absorbs hich not lao only in themselves under proper ma ni- pulation lecome valuable as fertilizers, but will, when dried, be sufficient to absorb all excels of urine and liquids from the stable. If you have available a muckhole or swamp, draw out a quantity of the muck or icaty soil, put it where it can dry and drain, and when shoveled over until all has been exposed to the air and it is nearly dry. you will have an absorbent which not only i-erforras the function of saving almost all the valuable fertilizers of the stable, but in turn, by mingling with the potash present, makes available the valuable nitrogen in its own combination. The neglected swamp thus lecewes one of the most valuable areas. Land plaster can also le used to great advantage with other absorbents to keep or bold nitrogen, while wood ashes added to the pile containing the muck will go to make up a fine fertilizer which shews great results when applied to the ground for beets, turnips ana all root crops.

A very valuable source of revenue which is generallv' wasted consists of the dead animals. Instead of drawing the dead horse, cow or dog to the woods or swamp, to oIlute the air and feed crows a shallow trench or square aUut one foot deep and as larpe as needed be dug in the earth the animal thio vn in, then covered with two or three i uhels of lime which has bv evoosure to the i air Dried nek from the swami llrAeel. and arter a Ul00L or Sl tLe sLouId I over occasionally.

One of the most amazing developments in modern electric science is the proposal made to the British (lov-ernment to raise by means of magnetic force the sunken ironclad Victoria, now lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea in 45U feet of water. Every one familiar with naval matters will recall the story of the wreck of the Victoria. Admiral Sir George Try on.

who loved nothing so much as original idea in manoeuvring, had one favorite evolution of which he never tired. This simply consisted in making the giant loats perform the "rightabout-Lice" after the manner of infantry privates on parade. And it was this iiitle weakness of Sir George's that drove the raw of the Camper-down into the tddes of the Victoria and tent meu. including fir George himself to the ottom. All attempt to raise the Victoria by means of hydraulic pressure have completely failed.
