MODERNIZING AN
KNUYCLOPKDIA.
The British publishers are about
to begiu isMiitiL' H xuppleuient to
the "KneyclontMliH Britnnica." It

more than 10000 articles written
by over oue thouaaud contribute
who include tbfl leading authorities
on tho subjects treated. Apparent-
ly the work is to be thoroughly

ly be overestimated.
Origiu of tho Word "Cuba."
Cuba is the name by which the
island wan origiually known to the
Lncayau Indians who were with
Columbus when he discovered it
says the Literary Era. One of iti
Tillages or cities was calledb y
them Cubanacan aud it is report
ed that from the similarity of
souuds of Columbus still suppos-
ing himself to be on the coast of
Asm imagined that this must be a
city of Kubie Kahau the Tartar
sovereign celebrated by Marco Polo.
The survival of the original name
for Cuba is a remarkable instance
of persistence as the island has
been baptised and rebaptised many
times since its European discovery.
Columbus first called it Juana in
honor of Prince John the son of
Ferdinand and Isabella. After
Ferdinand's death it wa3 called in
his memory. Ferdinandina. Sub
sequently this name was changed
to Sautiago after St. James the
patron saint of Spain. Still later
is was named Ave Maria in honor
of the Virgin Mary. But none of
thoie names held and the Indian
name is still preserved.
