Luger of the state experimental station
has returned from trip through, the
western part of the state, where he
went to investigate the ravages of black
rust. He says that the Hessian fly and
the black rust are largely responsl bic
for the fact that the wheat crop has not
COME up to expectations, and adds that
4ust alone has caused the loss OF mil
lions of dollars to the farmers.

IMPORTANT EXPEDITION LEAVES
MANILA UNDER LAWTON.

Evident Intention Is to Land at Darupan
and Prevent tho Retreat Of Aguinaldn
to the North to Escape tho Forces of
Lawton and Macarthur Now Moving
on Him From the Opposite Direction.
MANILA, Nov. GA feet of trans
ports and gunboats has left Manila for
the most important expedition of the
autumn campaign. Its destination is
supposed to be Dagupan or some other
northern port. General Wheaton COM
mands, with a brigade consisting of the
Thirteenth infantry, Thirty third in
fantry, two guns of the Sixth artillery
and two gatlings. The transports
Sheridan, Francisco de Reyes and Aztec
carry the troops with the gunboat
Helena as an escort.
A dispatch boat was sent to arrange
rendezvous with the United States
cruiser Charleston and other warships
which are patrolling the northern coast
of Luzon. The landing will be made
under cover OF the guns of the feet. It
is assumed that the
Purpose of the Expedition
is to move down the Dagupan-M Manila
railway towards the east or to prevent
Aguinaldo's forces making another
base farther north. Dagupan and APP
parri are strongholds OF the insurgents
in the north and it is supposed are the
points where most of the flibustering
expeditions land.
Since the beginning of hostilities it
has been the unanimous opinion of mil
ltary experts here that Dagupan should
be made a base of operations, but su.fi-
cient troops heretofore have been lack
ing. With General Wheaton, Mac
Arthur and Lawton moving upon the
enemy from three directions and the
mountains henming in the other side
the insurgents capital will soon be-
come untenable Aguinaldo may slide
around General Lawton's front to the
southern provinces. but as MacArthurs
and Lawton's troops are spread across
the country from Angeles to Cabana-
tuan it will be difficult for the insu,.-
gents to escape.

THE COMMISSIONS REPORT

Tho Preliminary Draft Submitted to the
President.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-In accordance
with the understanding reached at the
conference at the White House
Wednesday the Philippine commission
has submitted to the president the pre-
lminary report which it had promised
to prepare. The report appears to be IA
compact summary of conditions on the
islands as the commission left them: of
the historical events which preceded
the Spanish war and the internal Fill
pino insurrection; of the exchange be-
tween Admiral Dewey and other
American commanders and the insur-
gents; the breaking out of the present
insurrection, and, finally. a statement
of the capability of the Filipino for self
government. ., .s
Question of Self Governments.
Regarding the question of self-1ov-
ernment by the Filipinos the report
says:
Their lack Of education and political
experience. combined with their racial
and linguistic diversion, disqualify
them, in spite of their mental gifts and
domestic virtues, to undertake the task
of governing the archipelago at the
present time. The most that can be
expected OF them is to cooperate with
the Americans in the administration of
general affairs from Manila as center.
and to undertake, subject to American
control or guidance (as may be found
necessary, the administration of pro-
vincial or municipal affairs. ~
Should our power by any fatality be
withdrawn the commission believes
that the government of the Philippines
would speedily lapse into anarchy.
which would excuse. if it did not neces-
state, the intervention of other power.
and the eventual division of the islands
among them"
Benefit to Trade and Commerce..
The commission gives general view
of the value Of the islands, their rich
ness in agricultural and forest prod
nets, their raipera] wealth and, COM
manding geographical position. It says
that the Philippine group should be-
come one of the great trade resorts of
the East. It cannot be denied that
commerce will greatly increase and
that the United States will secure Il
large portion of this increase. The re-
port concludes:
"Our control means giving the in
habitants of the Philippines internal
peace and guarantee against foreign
aggression and against the dislnember-
ment of their country, commercial and
industrial prosperity and large share
of the reins of government as they
shall become fit to take them"

Fart hQuakes.

Some years ago Commander Nor
rison. an officer of the British navy
who foretold from the stars the civil
war in this country. formulated the
following rules for predicting earth
quakes. These conditions are about to
be fulfilled, and. according to him, we
may look for mother earth to become
restless:
1. Earthquakes generally follow close
on the heels of eclipses.
2. At the time of the earthquake
many aspects will be found between
the planets in the heavens; also as re-
CARDS the places of the planets at the
previous eclipse.
3. Earthquakes generally happen
when there are several planets on or
near the tropics or equator.
4. Earthquakes happen more fire.
quently when there are planets. espe-
cially Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter or Mars,
in the sign Taurus c. Scorpio.

Brain Weight and Intellect.

1t is generally assumed that there
exists a distant relationship between
the size Of the brain and intellectual
however. which run counter to this
view. says The Humanitarian. One
salient example is that of the late
French statesman. Gambetta, whose
brain weighed only 1000 grams. On
the other hand. the heaviest brain on
record is that of a London newspaper
boy. whose brain weighed 2.4OO grams,
in spite of the fact that he is stated
to have been "a bit of an idiot A
brain weighing 2.34O grams once be
longed to a Scandinavian peasant, of
whose intellectual stature it may be
said that previous to the age of 20 he
never showed signs of any eXtraor-
binary intelligence, and he has never
shown any since" A female Indian
dwarf had a brain which weighed no
less than 1900 grams, being 20 grams
heavier than the brain of Turgeneff,
the celebrated Russian novelist. The
average weight of the human brain
has been variously put at from 1900
to 1.650 grams, and an analysis of the
brain weights Of 60 intellectual men
works out an average of 1.776 grams,
which is not much superior to the av-
erage. Evidently quantity of brain
substance is of less Importance than
quality in respect of the possession of
intellectual qualities of a high order.

The Study of Tropical Disease.

Mr.. Chamberlain has transmitted to
the Royal society a memorandum from
the governor of the Straits Settlements
inviting fellows and scholars who are
engaged in original medical research
to the study of the tropical disease
beriberi. 1t is stated that this disease
caused 13O deaths in the hospitals of
the colony in 1896 and 692 in 1897. The
government will provide the investi-
gator with furnished quarters. rent
free. will give him free access to all the
hospitals and facilities for studying
the cases therein and will defray the
cost of his passage to the colony. Ma
ture adds that DR.. Wright. late of
Montreal. has an adequate laboratory.
40 that the opportunities for patho-
logical research will be extremely good.
