STORY OF THE PHILIPPINES.

A valuable addition to the fund Of information about the Philippines is furnished by Amcs K. Fiska in his "Story of the Philippines" This graphic and fascinating writer has that rare gift in historian. a graceful and all- perVding humor which sheds it's rays into the driest page of statistics and makes it luminous. MT. Fiske goes back to the discovery of the islands by Magellan, in 1521, when he namsd them after Philip, prince of Asturias. after ward Philip II, and dsserib5s the vic.s- situdes Of Spanish possession, inter rupted, as it has been. by the Chinese invasion of 1574, the Dutch assault in the early part Of the seventeenth cen tury, the reduction of Manila in 1762 by the British and the Ia tsst capture of the city and harbcr by Dewey CT May 1 last
 Mir Fiske treats intelligs ntly of the extent and physical characteristics of the islands and of the climate, soil and vegetation. He describes the natives, their customs, manner Of life and so- cial conditions. The natural resources, the industrial conditions of the islands and the state of trade form topics Cf interesting chapters. The city Cf Ma nila and the rural districts Of Luzon are described with all the accuracy Of a clcse observer. aided by sevsrai full page illustrations. The Carc!ines and the Ladrcnes also receive passing at tention. The book closes with a graphic description of Dewey's gr=at battle in Manila bay, the details hay ing been furnished by eye witnesses of the engagement, and philosophical discussion of cur rights in the Philip pines and thfir nrobabIel future.

WHAT BECOMES OF THE PINS.

Every individual who lives to grew up has in all probability asked at some
 time in his fife what becomes of all the pins that are manufactured and lest. An old gentlem in London, accord
 ing to Harper's Bazar has prepared
 himself to answer the question. By a series of experiments conducted in his
 back garden he has discovered that they go the way of all flesh, and are re solved into dust! Hairpins. which h. watched for one hundred and fif;y-fOur days, disappeared at the end of that time, having been resolved into a fer rous CXide, a brownish rust, which was blown away by the winds as it formed; bright pins took nearly eighteen months to disappear; polished steel needles nearly two years and a half; brass pins had but little endurance; steel pens at the end Of fifteen months had nearly gone, while their wooden holders were still intact. Pencils, with which he also eXperimented sui fered little by exposure; the lead was unharmed. and the cedar almost as good as new; but thsn nobody has ever asked the question about pencils, an1 he might have spared himself his pains.

under the direction of the board of trus-
tees of the academy. The board is pay
ing for the pavement and is saying how it
shall be laid.
Mr.. Ashmore said the board was aware
that it was the desire of the board of edu-
cation to have a grass plat left along the
outer edge of the sidewalk. Such a plat
was left when the old walk was laid, and
the trees were then able to get all the
moisture they required. The brick side
walk, not being impervous, allowed ad-
ditional filtrations.
While he admits there will be danger
of the trees cracking the pavement after
some years and thai under natural condi-
tons, the trees would thrive best, Mr..
Ashmore does not think they will die as
result of the pavement being laid so
closely about them. He saysathe pavement
will serve in measure to retain the mois-
ture about the roots. 1t is his opinion that
capillary attraction will cause the mois-
ture to penetrate from the soil Immediately
below the openings left about the trees
to distant points beneath the pavement.
The same impenetrability that keeps the
water from seeping through the pavement
viii prevent the heat of the summer sun
getting through TO evaporate the water I'M
der it, and the trees will really have mois-
ture for nourishment at times that others
in open places will be trying to get sap
from baked earth.
TIE lawn within the grounds of the
Academy and bordering the pavement is
extensive, and Mr.. Ashmore thinks enough
moisture to sustain fiourishing life in the
trees will soak through to their roots In
addition TO what they will receive from the
heavens, Mr.. Ashmore expects to have wa
ter poured about the trees during the pc
RODS of drought.

AN OLD-TIME NAVAL TRAGEDY.
bursting of "a Gun ON the Princeton
More Than Half a Century Ago.

More Than Half "A Century Ago.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
The destruction of The warship Maine re-
calls a fearful tragedy in United States
naval history, in which the Secretaries
of State and the Navy and other persons
were instantly killed many were wound
ed, and the President and several promi-
nent statesmen and high officials had ex
tremely narrow escapes from death.
This catastrophe occurred ffty-four
years ago, on the afternoon Of Feb Is, 184f,
on board the United States war steamer
Princeton, Commodore Stockton. on the
Potomac river, about fifteen miles below
Washington. 1t was the Peacemaker, one
OF the larger guns of the ships arma-
ment, a new and to the commander a fav-
orite piece Of ordnance. The steamer IL

Enthusiastically advocated by Commodore
Stockton, who had also superntended the
casting OF the guns-on a new principle
and of great size and power.
These guns had been thoroughly tested
for several days previously and 50 far

To exhibit the superiority Of these new
and formidable cannon Commodore Stock
ION had invited and received on board a
large and brilliant company of both sexes

SPACES AROUND THE TREES.
NO Change to be Made in the
Chatham Academy Sidewalk.

NO Change to be Made in the
Chatham Academy Sidewalk.
In laying the new artificial stone side
walk in front of the Chatham Academy
only small space has been left around
each of the trees on the original grass
pat which is now being paved over. The.
space left for each of the trees is hardly
more than two feet square. Those who have
mace a study of trees say that this will
certainly result in the death of the trees
sooner or later, chiefly because the Aex-
posed space will not afford sufficient mois-
ture
As Bun street is covered with asphalt
'ne trees will have to depend entirely for
'nelr supply for moisture upon such water
az Ialls upon the small space left around
mem. Another objection to paving so
CLOSELY around the trees is that should
'ney grow in spite of this treatment, their
roots will eventually force up the sidewalk
ana make it uneven and unsightly.
90. George A. Mercer, who is a member
Vi the board of trustees of Chatham Acad-
'uly, said yesterday that he thought it
would be the wiser plan to leave larger
spaces around the trees. He is not in
OuarSe of the work. however
superintendent Ashmore of the public
schools was asked if the work of laying
me pavement is to be continued as it has

FOREIGN-BORN PATRIOTS.

Philadelphia Press.
Foreign nations have argued be-
cause the American people are so con-
glomd-ate, many OF then. being Of
alien birth and many others of alien
parentage, and because the country is
so large and the interests of different
sections are so diverse, that there could
be no true national spirit. This fact,
1t was claimed, would become embar-
rassingly prominent in war with a
foreign nation. That situation is now
present, but instead Of there being
any lack of national spirit and patriot
ism, exactly the contrary is evident.
The foreign-born citizen is just as pa
triotic as the man who can date his an
cestry back to the Mayfower.

Mr. Morgan would denominate the

way for bonds of the lower denomina-

another bond issue for his especial

HOW TO END THE WAR.

New Y Ork World.
Real kind-heartedness would now
dictate to the President to end the war
quickly. 1t is cruel to Spain to pro-
long the agony when she is waiting to
give up. 1t is cruel to our own volun-
teers and their families and friends to
project the war further into the hot
weather. The time to end it is now.
The way to end it is to strike two de-
cisive blows-one at Havana, the other
at Porto Rico.
