REVOLUTION IN THE AIR.
Continued from Page Seventeen.

in price and money is becoming pro- portionately scarcer. Gutierrez is held up to the ignorant natives as the cause of the present hard times. Change the government and change the times was whispered.
 He has reiterated time and again that he will set an example for future Salvadorian Presidents by stepping out of office on the day his term ex- pires. But the people, chafing under the thoughts of waiting year for that event, have had their impatience famed into fury by the students of the university.
 And this is how the revolution started:
 The residents of San Salvador awoke one morning not long ago to find on their doorsteps a little newspaper teeming with burning denunciation of Gutierrez, his policy and the Govern ment. The name of the paper was we'll chosen: Fl Latigo-The Lash: With all the fire and enthusiasm of ot-blooded youth, the student editors scourged the Government. They piled the lash fiercely and furiously.
 Next day notice was sent to the rector of the university by the Govern ment commanding him to see that the paper was suppressed. A meeting ot the students was promptly called, ano the two young men who had edited the sheet boldly admitted their hand1- work.
 The rector tried in vain to administer reproof. His words were drowned by the braves, cheers and shouts of ap- proval that rang from the assembled students.
 Fired by enthusiasm, the editors de- clared that they would continue tC publish El Latigo even though they were expelled for it.
 The next morning the second number of Ell Latigo appeared The 0Illclal newspaper of the town was neglecteo and the citizens swallowed the burning editorials in Ell Latigo with the1r morn ing coffee. What action would tne President take against the 1rrepres- sible students? That was the one question on every lip.
 At nightfall the question was an swered. All that day squads or stu dents paraded the streets With nylne banners whereon was emolazoneo Free Speech, Free Press. The youth full orators gathered at the street cor ners and addressed the multitude grumbling over hard times. It was not difficult to arouse them. Gutierrez hat long since lost favor in their eyes.
 Santa Maria. what sort of a man is this President? Out with him! they shouted.
 Unmolested by the Government tht students thus tried their eloquence or the populace Their blood was stirred and interference on the part of the police was all they thirsted for, because 1t would have meant set-to. fight bloodshed and baptism of glory fol the cause.
 At nightfall the students assembled in front of the university buildings ant from there marched to Bolivar Park where all San Salvador betakes itself in the cool of the evening. But this night everything else was forgotten and the people thronged about the platform erected for the occasion ane kApplauded the editors of El Latigo, as they hurled defiance at the President

tic view of the matter but 1t seems to me a most serious question.
 "I think the fault is due to the state of the country In general, and the pulse of the people Is best judged by the amuse- ments they seek. Our men are in whirl of business and political excitement all day. When they come home they want entertainment that will not tax their tired brains. The gentler sex, who would rath- CT follow the loves and sorrows of .Heav- enly Rosalind.' or the Divine Desdemona,' humor their weary lords, and so the houses presenting the frothy matter that their worn out senses crave are crowded and the manager artistically producing Shakespeare sits forlorn In his office. for few come his way If the day ever arrives when the overworked male contingent has time and inclination to think and feel af- ter $ o'clock in the day, then their tastes will crave better things. Then the public will go to the theater to seek the good and beautiful for It's own sake, and not because they want an antidote for the rise and fall of stocks. / f--sS

 This was the song with which Wurz cheered his dropping spirits. For month he ate goose morning, noon ana nlght:

 When the clock struck the hour of mid- night last Friday night Wurz had com pleted his thirtieth goose, and Rose handed over the wager of s200, at the same time proclaiming Wurz the cham pion goose-eater of the world.
 Never for moment during the long ordeal did Wurz falter in his task. The first ten geese disappeared like magic, and the weight of the eater increased perceptibly. Then Wurz went about his task with more thought and deliberation. He consulted his appetite with more care and took more exercise. He tried in every way to forget that he was eating goose.
 Rose took good care to see that every goose was up to the full weight and it is probable that the net goosef1esh eaten by Wurz every day was fully eight pounds.
 What makes 1t all the more remarkable Is that Wurz weighs only about 165

 Wurz and Rose are members of the Order of Elks, and their good qualities, both in the personal and epicurean lines, are well known. Here is his own story:
 I did not find it any trouble to eat thir- ty geese in thirty days. I simply quit eating everything else and gave my whole attention to it. I did not suffer at all from indigestion, as goose is very agreeable to me. I found the greatest trouble with the fried legs and wings, as some of them were tough. Every goose was up to the weight limit and was eaten in the presence of reliable wit nesses. I am ready, after a certain time, to undertake the same task again for reasonable sum of money. l do not think I would have any trouble in eating two quail a day for thirty consecutive days.

such offer to Sagas while the negotiations for

PHILIPPINE RICHES
Exhaustive OmciaI Report ON the
IsIands' MinernI Resources.

An important report on the mineral re-
sources of the Philippines has just been
received by the Secretary of the Interior
from George F. Becker. of the geograph-
icaI survey. The data is very valuable
and accurate. having been compiled from
unpublished reports of the Spanish min
ing bureau. the technical publication of
Santos, Drasche, Roth and others, man

er and verbal information gathered in
Manila.
The mineral resources OF the Philip
pines as given in this report are won
derfully rich. The character of the val
uable minerals discovered is shown by the
deposits in the following Islands of the
group:
