TRINIDAD, Rrltlsh West Indies. Nov.
2o If you plane ai Krln Fulnt, on Uie
southern shores of this IMand, anil gi
out Into the Atlantic ocean toward the
const of Vi-nv.ui'la, you will see Why
ftritlKli dominions are larger by two and
a half acrvs than they were before Satur
day, November 4.
On that date an Island of the volcanic
type, not uncommon In southern waters,
thruRt Itself above the ira, with char
acterise rumble, htHHlns of gases and
flanhvs of fire, fcieally to the alarm of
the people on the Trinidad shore.
The new Island has not yet been named,
and as Its composition ta largely ooxy
blue mud or clay. It Is doubtful If It
will withstand the attacks of the sea.
Any day It Is apt to disappear whence It
came and Great Britain will have lust Its
newest possession. The entei prising gov
ernor of Trinidad vlstted the Island with
a party of officials shortly after it made
Its appearance, ready to plant the Union
Jack on the warm oozy soli; but meas
urements showed that the Island was
within the three-mile limit and planting
the flag waa unnecessary.
nirtkt of aa Island.
Cable dispatches have told briefly of
the island's birth, but there Is much that
Is Interesting about the phenomenon that
It known only to those residents of points
along the Trinidad coast who either wit
nessed the occurrence or cautiously visited
the new land before it had had time to
cool.
Ir. Fredholin, a resident of Trinidad,
ays that the island waa probably thrust
up by the pressure of gas originating
from the decomposition of carbonaceous
matter found In connection with asphalt
deposits for which Trinidad Is famous.
He predicts that a flow of asphalt may
follow and an asphalt lake may mate Its
appearance on the Island.
"If do flow of asphalt follows, how
ever," be says, "tbo only resalt of the
upheaval will be a mud volcano so com
mon along the southern shore. Such a
volcano on a bank raised but slightly
above the sea level would probably not
remain above the surface very long, for
the debris would soon be washed away
and the vents, once below water, would
become choked by sedimentary deposits.
It would therefore not be surprising If
the new Island dropped Into the sea again
as quickly as It emerged."
Terrified the rfiUves.
Resident of the little settlements of
Krln and Chatham, on the soutRern
coast of Trinidad, were greatly terrified
when the Island appeared, and many of
them fled from their homes, dragging
their belongings Into the bush. Others
knelt In prayer In the streets or rushed
to the churches.
Great fear was In the minds of all, aa
memories of Martinique' were awakened.
A fisherman, at midday, on Saturday,
November 4, first noticed signs of dis
turbance In the sea. The water was dirty
and murky, but no land waa then In
eight. Hut about 8 o'clock that evening
the people of Krln and other points
nearby were startled to see a great col
umn of fire shoot up from the bosom of
the water. Dense smoke followed the
flame, - and there were further Intermit
tent flashes of fire, accompanied by a
rumbling as of thunder. When the smoke
cleared away ' It was seen that a new
Island had been created. Flames contln-

but on the following morning they had
subsided and the governor and party set
out In a boat to claim the new land for
King Gorfrn, They neared the Island
with extreme care In the fuce of a
choppy sea and head wind. A landing
waa effected with difficulty, and It was
quickly SAcettalnrd that the surface of
the li-land was yet warm and very soft
and boiling hot underneath. This made
walking difficult and dangerous, and
boards were used for a footing.
Two Craters on Inland.
They found two craters on the Ixland.
five or six feet In diameter, although the
hrfhmt part of tho entire stretch was not
n"c than twelve or fifteen feet above
the Surface of the sea. Gas was escaping
from the outers and the air was sat
urated with the smell of sulphur and oil.
ltocks wcie emlx-cUled In the honeycomb
suiface of the Island, and as many of
them contained marked traces of Iron
pyrites, the theory was advanced that
there rocki, striking together, had ciusd
the flashes of fire. The fossilized re
mains of several strange mailne ani
mals we:e found In the mud, but other
wise no signs of sea life were visible.
It Is a tradition in Trinidad that a
flourishing settlement of Indiana once
existed at La Brea, on the north coast
of that point of the Island which juts
out towsrd Venezuela, and that It was
destroyed by the sudden appearance of
the now famous fitch I.ake there. It Is
related that loud explosions were heard
by Indians In other parts of the Island,
and that on Investigating the cause they
found the camp of their brothers at La
Bica destroyed and In Its place the
strange sight of a laks of pitch.
CIGAR MAKING AS AN ART
i i
Observations on the Spot la Havana
Changes poabt Into Enthusiasm.
I have watched 'the evolution of the
Havana cigar almost from the seed. I
have stood among the tobacco plants as
they grow under cheesecloth or In the
open fields. I have seen the leaves cut
end hung In rows up to the very mot
of the great curing barns, I have seen
them heaped togeter to sweat and fer
ment, and I have seen them sorted for
lxe. quality and strength and baled In
huge sheets of pitch from the native
palm trees.
Mr. Kipling, meaning to be compliment
ary, once handsomely wrote that "a good
cigar Is a smoke." Rut Just as cigar mak
ing Is nut a buslneHS, but an art, so a
good cigar Is sometimes far more than a
smoke. I should rather call It a salad.
It la a compound of leaves not from one
plantation, but possibly from a dosen, and
not of any one year, but of several,; and
the task of Rejecting these leaves so aa
to produce the wlshed-for effoot, of choos
ing the parent blend and of seeing that
this blend predominates with slight but
distinctive variations In every one of the
loo or 300 shapes and sixes Into which
a given brand Is manufactured, la among
the moat anxious and delloata In the
whole Industry an Industry that at every
stage, from the seedling to the finished
cigar, asks an extraordinary degree , of
deftness and discrimination. v
One sees tht perfection of both qualities
at work If one strolls through the Havana
cigar factory, through the rooms, above
all, where tho cigars 'are actually rolled.
In these sunny, whitewashed halls,
slashed by parallel rows of desks there
Is not a trace of machinery to be seen. A
block of maple, a small curved knife, the
"wrapper" that form the outer skin of
the cigar under a damp cloth on the
left, the "fillers" that form Its body on
the right, and between them the dusky
Cuban artist, with generations of trained
aptitude behind him that Is all.
Without a mold or binder or any pat
tern to follow, ha turns out his fifty,
seventy-five or 100 cigars a day, all Identi
cal In shape, site and weight. And he Is
it his touch and me sursnens of his ey.
f orking by the piece and highly paid, hr
enjoys a few days off and takes them
when he pleases; and while he Is at work
da insists on being amused., His arhuoe
inent lakes the form of being read to
aloud. At every cigar factory In Havana
ou will find a reader, engaged and paio
by. the cigarmakers themselves, standing
in an Improvised pu.plt near the ct-ntei
of the room and regaling his audlenc
with the daily paper or a novel. Home oc
these readers receive as much as ) oi
Ml a week, and not a few of them were
elected as members of the first Cuban
legislature.
Uiers Is another Indulgence which the
Cuban ctgarmaker demands for himself
the right to smoke at his employer's ex
pense so1 lung as he Is at work. Ever;
morning, six high-grade wrappers are
handed to him for his own use, and In
them he folds as much as he likes of the

a sum close to $2,rO0,0w a year.
There Is no connection whatever be

the color and firmness of the ash; the
notion that the whiter the ash and th"
longer It stays on the better the cigar, U
altogether erronloua. The best Havana,
burn with a clear steel-gray ah, aim
ts duration and length are mainly deter
mined by the slxe of the pieces used in
the fillers.
Then again, the men In Havana, heed
less of the club reputations they are
shattering. Insist that a spotted cigar
means less than nothing so far as quality,
whether good or bad, Is concerned, that
the barometer affects cigars far mor.
than the thermometer; that the silky
ooklng wrapper is as much to be avoldeii
as the veiny one or the one that Is oil
in patches; and that for the average man,
anxious to find out whether a given Ha
vana Is of good quality throughout and
will burn well, the only real test Is to
smoke It. Sidney Brooks In London Mall.
