ANIMALS IN CUBA
Giune In Plenty nnd One Species of
Semi domesticated Snake
Throughout Cuha game is abundant
Deer though not native have flour
ished and multiplied greatly Rabbits
are plentiful also the wild boar so
called the wild pig the wild dog and
the wild cat of the island Wild fow3
especially ducks and pigeon abound
the former crossing from the southern
states during the winter season whilu
the latter remain on the island the year
round Fheasants quail snipe wild
turkeys and wild guinea fowl are also
numerous with several varieties of
game birds such as the perdiz tojosac
rabiches and the guanaros
The only distinctive native animal is
the jutia or hutia ratlike In appear
ance and black It grows to a length
of sixteen or eighteen Inches not in
cluding the tail While eatable it la
not especially palatable
Cuba has more than 200 species of
native birds including those already
mentioned as game birds many pos
sessing the most beautiful plumage
but those with song are rare
In swampy localities crocodiles and
American alligators caimans are
found and although these frequently
grow to an enormous size but little
attention is paid to them by the na
tives
Chameleons small lizards tree toads
and similar harmless Silurians of di
minutive size are very common whilo
occasionally the Iguana and other largo
varieties of the lizard species are seen
Few varieties of snakes exist in
Cuba One of these the mala from
ten to fourteen feet In length Is a
semi domesticated reptile if such n
term may be used for it Is most fre
quently found about the huts farm
houses and small villages its favorite
living place being In the palm thatches
of the old buildings while its favorito
food is poultry Another snake named
the jubo is more vicious in disposition
than the maja although never reach
ing more than one third Its size It Id
not poisonous The other varieties are
still smaller in size are seldom seen
and not venomous Havana Post

THE FLAG REVERSED
A Fisherman Emblem Thnt Telia of
Distress and Hope
One of the frequent sights in the
ports along the eastern coast is that of
a fishing schooner coming into the har
bor with an American flag hoisted at
the mainmast head in Its reverse posi
tion To the interested spectators that
flag always brings a pang of distress
for it means that one or more of the
crew are missing through some calam
ity of the sea But to the members of
the craft itself the signal is not always
an emblem of woe The flag Is hoisted
from their viewpoint to notify those
concerned that the complement of the
ship Is not full and they live on hope
for a long time before they acknowl
edge that the men who have disappear
ed are really lost
A stranger to seafaring ways asked
the skipper of one of these fishing
schooners the other day what the dis
tress signal meant and he was set
right by the captain who remarked in
the most cheerful way in the world
Theyre missing out of th crew of
course but we havent given them up
by a long sight Ye see they may
have been picked up by some other
boat an carried off to th other side
Oh no we dont give them up just be
cause weve missed them Its more
than likely theyll turn up yet New

Elephant rower
How many men would be needed to
pull a weight hauled by an elephant
Fifty The answer is the result of re
cent investigations made to determine
the respective pulling power of horses
men and elephants Two horses
weighing 1G00 pounds each together
pulled 3750 pounds or 550 pounds
more than their combined weight One
elephant weighing 12000 pounds pull
ed S750 pounds or 3250 pounds less
than his weight Fifty men aggregat
ing about 7500 pounds In weight pull
ed 8750 pounds or just as much as the 1
single elephant But like the horses
they pulled more than their own
weight One hundred men pulled 12
000 pounds
Proverbs of Amhuiii
Here are some rather clever proverbs
of Assam The best crops grow on
others fields but the best sons are at
home A bird is a little thing but
it builds Its nest on a lofty hulung
tree Buy land which slopes to the
middle and marry a girl who has a
good mother The biggest jack fruit
always hides under the leaves If a
man slips down it Is always his eldest
wifes fault but if his youngest wife
makes a mistake he says he will see
about it A hasty cook a hasty
broom and the husband goes fasting
a slow cook a slow broom and the
husband eats three meals a day
