the way was open to him, and he made

full In Their Use.
Before the people of Spain and some
Americans began to bestow firearms on
the Filipinos they relied entirely on
their deadly knives. These knives
daggers and krises as they are called
are exceedingly nasty weapons In the
hands Of artists. Every savage race
has Its own style of knife. The FIJI
ipinos have one or two which are pecu-
liarly interesting.
These savages are wonderfully skill
full in handling their strange weapons,
rs the Spanish know now, and the
Americans will probably learn later.
They are small in size, but, like the
Apache, are strong, full of endurance
and bold enough to oppose their primi-
tive weapons to those Of the most mod
ern make. The knives are small, finely
carved and highly priced. They are
much sought by curio hunters.
Perhaps the most deadly of all the
Philippine weapons are the daggers car
ried by the chiefs. These are made Of
iron, mostly of poor quality, and are
about eighteen inches long. They are

rough, uneven surface. The edges are
as sharp as a razor; the point almost
like that of a needle, and they are car
ried In a case, which fits the blade to
perfection. The cases are made of
hard wood, the handles bearing beauti-
fully carved Inscriptions representing
the name of the chief and tribe. These
crooked daggers are carried exclusively
by the chiefs, the right to possess them
being considered a great honor in the
native country.
The kris Is a dagger slightly longer
than that carried by the chief, measur-
ing nearly two feet with a sharp
curved blade. There are numerous va
rieties of these, the blades differing a
trifie in size and shape. The kris Is re-
garded by the native Filipino as the
most important Of all his belongings,
and his uses Of 1t are many and varied.
The more savage tribes first lasso the

ground until exhausted or dead, use

A LOGICAL Deduction.

In August Of the year 1928 blasting
accident occurred in a Massachusetts
town, and two men were injured, one
of whom was killed and the other was
supposed to be dead. A physician was
summoned, and one Of the victims,
named Babb, was resuscitated and he
fully recovered and lived many years.
At the house to which Mr.. Babb's I'M
conscious body was taken, was a boy
born in September Of 1925. Some
months afterwards the child's mother
told her boy the Bible story Of Jesus
raising a dead person to life, adding
that He alone could do that. The little
fellow listened very attentively, and
then broke out with the Joyous excla-
nation: 1--WE seen Jesus. His other
name Is DIR. Davis: and know Mr..
Babb, too, that he made alive after he
got killed blowing rocksr'

Of International balloon ascents made
in June last. Balloons, some manned
and some unnamed, assembled stimuli
taneously from various parts Of Eu-
rope, extending from Paris to st. Pc

unnamed balloon which started from
Paris and dropped in Westphalia,
reached height of about ten miles
and recorded a minimum temperature
Of SO degrees Fahrenheit, below zero.
A balloon carrying DR.. Berson from
Berlin attained an elevation of about
$4,000 feet, more than 1900 feet higher
than the summit of Mont Blanc. The
lowest temperature that he expert

Professor Koch, famous for his dis
coveries for n cure of consumption, has
recently been investigating the origin
Of the plague, and has discovered pre-
viously unknown center from which 1t
emanates. Heretofore three chief CEN
tiers of the plague have been known,
one In China in the Province of Human,
a second in Tibet, and the third near
Mecca in Arabia. The last-named is
one Of the most dreaded on account of
the immense number of pilgrims who
visit the holy city of Mohammed. The
new center Of disease discovered by
Professor Koch is situated in the in
terror of equatorial Africa, behind the
German possessions on the east coast.
Professor Koch's studies indicate that
the old explanation Of the origin of the
plague, that 1t was due to dirt and I'M
sanitary conditions, is inadequate, and
that the real source Of the disease re-
mains to be discovered. AS has been
observed elsewhere, the epidemics in
Africa are frequently preceded by an
outbreak Of the disease among rats.
Even monkeys are affected by it.
