Popular FaIacy Exploded.

The Scientific American states that
the venerable DOGGY of the crystalliza-
ton of steel and iron in bridge struc-
lures is per. silently trotted out. 1t is
probable that large percentage of the
passengers daily crossing Brooklyn
bridge believe that the metal of the
bridge is deteriorating "crystalliz-
ing"-and that the wire cables. unless
they are renewed. will in the course of
time give way and precipitate the whole
bridge into the river. Tests in the la
boratory and half century's tests in
the field. supplemented by the recent
careful tests made by Prof. Carpenter,
of Cornell. prove that this view is no
longer tenable. There is no reason
why, with careful inspection TO pre-
vent oxidation by the weather. the met
al of such structures as the Brooklyn
and Forth bridges should not last as in

OLD SPANISH FORT, USED IN DEFENSE AGAINST moRo3

Their army was dispersed without
Spanish loss. In l744 the natives again
rebeled for the same reasons. Under
the leadership of Dagohoy, whose
brother, with others, the priests had
killed, several of the clergy were killed.
The Spanish withdrew, but 35 years
later, on the agreement TO exclude the
Jesuits, the natives acknowledged
Spanish sovereignty.
In 1860 in Pampagna and other prov
inces the natives rebelled against cut
ting timber without pay. King Malong
gathered 10000 men and killed few
Spanish settlers and priests. A Span
ish army of 200 regulars and 500 In
dams defeated and dispersed the re-
VOTERS without loss to themselves.
Other revolts occurred in 1923, at
Cavite, headed by an Indian captain;
in Cebu in 1927; in Negros in 1874, where
the Spanish governor was killed; in
1877 the cxtortions of the priests caused
some of the native soldiers TO rise and
they seized the arsenal. All of these
instructions were crushed with the
loss of not more than a score of the
Spanish soldiers. The last rebellion
against the Spanish was by the Tagals
around Manila, in 1896, LED by Aguinal-
90. The losses inflicted upon the Span
ish amounted to about 300, and the
rebellion was practically ended by
bribing Aguinaldo and other leaders TO
leave the country, and quiet reigned
until Dewey sailed into Manila bay and
destroyed the Spanish fleet and Agui-
naldo was permitted 10 return to the
islands. When this rebellion broke out
there were but 500 Spanish soldiers
throughout the archipelago, in garri-
sons of 20 TO SO men. About 700 were
in Manila and Cavite. The remainder
of the army of about 10000 was made
up OF natives.
The expenditures of Spain for the
Philippine army and navy in 1000 was
Sil,300. The army consisted of AGO men
and officers. In 1923 the military es-
Establishment was 1,762 Spanish and lao
Indians, at q cost of 1929, SOC; and the
naval and dock yard cost was $3.50, 1S4
In 1857 the cost of the hand and sea
forces was $312,S64. In 1876 the serv.
ice was increased TO include many new
branches and the military force was
about 10000 men. Not over 100 were

PENNILESS BOY SEES WORLD.

Home After Three Years. Tired

William Buerschinger, 81 years old,
son of Mrs. Kate Buerschinger, of
Green Bay, Wis, after roaming for
over three years, 20 months of which
time was spent on a whaling trip, dur
ing which he was shipwrecked, has re-
turned home to stay.
Young Buerschinger started in July,
1896, with the avowed intention of see
ing the world. He was practically pen
niless, yet he travelled through nearly
all the western states and Old Mexico.
March 90 1897, he sailed from San Fran
cisco on the whaling steamer Orca,
bound for the Arctic ocean. The Orca
was wrecked September 90 of that year
by an ice jam about 60 miles south of
Point Barrow Buerschinger and 9TH

natives and enslaved ten Spanish, in
GLIDING a priest and a woman. The
Sangley or Chinese insurrection occu-
pied the attention of the government
in the summer of 1903, with loss OF
about 80 Spanish. Later in the fall
all the Sangleys were captured and
killed in their fort, short distance
from Manila, except 200, who were put
in the galeys. Altogether $4,000 Chi
nese were killed. The Mindanao men
continued their naval and land incur
e.ons for many years. In 1854 they
burned many towns within so miles of
Manila. Expeditions against them re-
suited in inflicting punishment at slight
loss of life to the Spanish. In 1886
King Corralat's town was captured and
his fleet destroyed. The king continued
troublesome until 1F2, although
force of so men served to keep him
within bounds. ii was not until 1S4S
that the incursions of these fierce peo-
pie ceased. Their naval operations
were rendered too unsafe by reason Of
the use of steam gunboats by the Span
ish. In 1889 the Spanish cruelties drove
the Chinese TO revolt, and of 10000 but
1000 were left alive, and in 1909 all
the Chinese were expelled on charges
of plotting and monopoly of business.
The natives in the provinces of
Ylocos and Ylogan, north of Manila,
rose in rebellion over unjust regula-
tions, and from December II, 1862, to
May IS, 1863, were uncontrolled. They
killed 70 Europeans and destroyed

cTS HE Philippine islanders have con-
sistently shown one trait of
II character ever since they have
come to the notice of the civilized peo-
ple of the world, and that is TO run
away from battle when confronted
even by the merest handful Of men.
Although always ready to rebel, and
treacherously murder, they seldom
fought. They probably never won
battle from the Spanish, and the mill
tary losses of the latter in the $50
years of sovereignty were probably not
over $500 men. Modern weapons and
education of few leaders have en-
abled the Filipinos to infict more
damage to the American army in the
past year than they inflicted on the
Spanish army in decades or even in
centuries.
The islands were conquered without
loss to the Spanish. The natives gen
orally were friendly and quiet, and had
the Spanish concerned themselves with
administering justice they would have
had little trouble. Instead, they
turned over the affairs to the priests,
who seized all they could and adopted
forcible measures to compel the natives
TO accept their religion. The persecu-
ton by the clergy was the cause of
nearly every uprising. Evidence eN-
lists to prove that many rebellions were
fomented by the monks and friars for
the opportunity to rid the country by
death or Punishment of persons who
would not readily yield to them. The
priesthood was supreme in everything,
the governors being merely their pup
pets; and there was reign of religious
persecution and injustice such as black
ened the history of the dark ages. But
even with the desire to avenge them
