they build The sheets Of coral on up
lifted areas seem 10 have a tendency to-
ward 4 nearly uniform thickness approx
imating TO 100 feet. This is explicable
from the habits Of the coral animal. which
does not grow at a greater depth than
fifteen OF twenty fsIhoms Unlike merely
sedimentary strata, the coral follows the
topography of the rising surface along
contour of which it grew. Where muddy
waters or frequent eruptions befoul the
sea there are no coral reefs.
When the uplift began. say ten or
twelve thousand years ago, the island
shores were steep and the sea about them
was relatively deep, so that an upheayal
Of 100 feet added but little to the area of
he islands. As the amount OF uplift in
creased to something approaching the
mean depth Of the ciTcumambient sea the
area Of the land increased in far greater
ratio to the Increment of upheayal. The
last rise of 100 feet has rescued from the
seas the most valuable part Of the archi-
pelagO. Examination of the charts viii
show that a fresh rise Of 100 feet would
add a further area which, though i'm
portant would .be less important than the
actual 1oWlands Of the Philippines. The
plateau on which the island stands is ow
mostly above sea level.
area has also been added to the land
by the formation OF deltas at the mouths
Of the rivers, 3 process which has been
greatly assisted by the maGgrove trees and
the nipa palms. These grow in the water
in all favorable situations, and hold back
the solid contents OF the streams, adding
their own debris to the accumulation.
Along the eastern shore Of Manila Bay the
so-called "estero'' or bayou country CON

rivers flowing into the bay.

These almost always have somewhat high

the flowing water and leads to erosion OF

brewers, Proposition Favored.

At the Department of Internal Revenue
yesterday it was said that the officials are
favorably disposed toward the proposition
made by the Committee on Federal Rela-
tions of the American Brewers Association
to do away with all beer packages of less
than one-fourth barrel.
Commissioner Wilson will take steps to
ascertain whether majority of the brewers
of the country is favorable to the change be-
fore ordering the disuse of the eighth bar
rel package. The committee which recent
ly called upon Commissioner Wilson pro-
posed that beer stamps be Cancelled by
punching instead of by ink stencils. There
was no objection to this, and the matter
will soon be taken up for final decision.

ands Where streams in the Phi ippinss
cut into the older rocks they seem nearly
always to carry little gold, which the
natives have been exploiting time out oI
mind.
There is a very general impression that
Mindanao is a rich aurifer0us region,
though little definite information is cur
rent on the subject. The absence of n
formation seems to add the attractions of
the Imagination to the tales OF a few pros
pectors.
1t is a fact to which attention should
be called. that each of the two auriferous
provinces of Mindanao, viz, Surigao and
Misamis. has been reported upon by a COM
petent expert, and that neither of tEen
found anything to excite enthusiasm.
There is gold there beyond a doubt, and
the natives have been extracting 1t on
modest scale yet with no lite skill, Tor
centuries. The information at hand points
to very moderate auriferous resource
comparable with those of the Caoinas and
Georgia rather than with those of Colorado
and California. Luzon, so far a5 l san
judge from reports, is as rich in gold as
( Mindanao. 1t is probable enough that
fair number of spots exist in which capital
invested in gold mines viii find reasonable
remuneration, but I fear that any rush
to the gold fields viii involve great disap-
pOl0lINe1I. Inc WDOle archipelago mas an
area almost the same as Arizona. There is
[ nothing known which indicates that the
islands contain more gold than the Terri
tory.
The copper deposits of Lepanto seem
rich and extensive, but very expensive

/ able. The high quality of some of the
! iron ores of Luzon is beyond question, but
! the Ignite of the islands is not adapted to

/ be based on charcoal smelling, while the

STREET PRODUCE STANDS.
An Attorney Makes an Argument foI

An Attorney Makes an Argument for
the Curbstone Vendors.
The Commissioners have received several
letters in the matter of their recent de-
cigion in the case Of the produce dealers
who have been ordered to cease selling
their wares on the sidewalk adjacent to
Centre Market. Several citizens have writ
ten sympathizing letters taking sides with
the produce dealers and the market COM
pany has received great deal Of encour-
agement in its fight for the countrymen.
The attorney for the company has writ
ten to the Commissioners calling their at
tention TO the practice prevailing at several
other markets in the city and the manner
in which the country produce dealers are
treated not only by the market companies
but by the District officials At the West
ern Market in Georgetown, the attorney
wrote, the produce dealers were not only
permitted TO occupy space away from the
market building. but they had established
stands on both sides OF a street. The Com
missioners were not only cognizant of this
violation Of the law, wrote the attorney,
but they assisted the dealers engaged in
selling produce by sending a force from
the workhOuse to clean the streets after
the market closed.
At the Eastern Market, on the corner
Of Seventh and c Streets southeast, almost
the entire block is occupied by these stands
and here also details from the chain gang
clean the street.
The attorney states that he does not
ask for assistance in keeping the streets
clean, but he does want to get a permit to
sell produce in the street, and to be allowed
to establish stands on the side Of the street
nearest the market without molestation
from the police.

stirred up some discussion by a paper on
alcohol. Alcohol, he said was of many
kinds. As an ingredient in alcoholic
drinks, it Is not necessarily harmful New
whiskey he denounced as unfit for use.
II is the quality Of the alcoholic product
not its quantity, that should be condemned
DR.. Hills put alcohol first among general
sJimUlants and heart toniCs. and said that
where other foods could not be retained
He then paid his respects to the temper
ance people in the following manner:
The man is justified who, feeling iGse-
cure, puts up a lightning rod to protect
his house; so is the man who cannot han
die alcohol in a rational manner equally
justified in taking pledge and attaching
himself to a temperance society There
he viii have an opportunity with the 9TH
ers to put himself on exhibition as a weak
ling and person without moral strength
or resolution, but he has no right to de-
nOunce alcohol because Of his weakness any
more than he should a lamppOsJ which he
was unfortunate enough to run foul of
when under the influence of his pOtatOn.
The physician above all men must not be
frightened away from his obligation to his
patient by the noise and clamor made by
| the clergyman or the temperance orator,
the former of whom may know nothing Of
alcohol: the latter too much. Il is 'iifficult
