CLIMATE OF THE PHILIPPINES

A great deal of nonsense is being
uttered about the climate of the
Philippine islands-most of it by per.
sons whose notions are rciful, but
some of it by writer's who assume to
speak authoritatively, from personal
experience and observation says the
spokesman Review. In the latter
class is Dean c. Worcester, professor
of Zoology in the university of Mich
igan, who has made two voyages to
the islands, and has written a book,
''The Philippines and Their People" )"
DIR. Worcester has gone to the ex-
treme ofsaying that white men can
not expect to work there and live.
SIT is very doubtful" he says, 'sif
many successive generations of Euro
pean or American children could be
raised there" Among the diseases
that prevail he enumerates malaria.
cholera, smallpox and leprosy, all of
which exist to some degree in the
United States, along with other dis
eases peculiar to northern climes and
unknown to tropical countries.
There is no subject on which so
many mistakes and absurdities are
made as on the subject of climate. II
requires long and scientific study, and
the traveller who passes hurrledly
through some new and little known
country is scarcely more qualified to
speak intelligently than the one who
is an entire stranger.
For three centuries or more after
the discovery of America Europe
was filed with false and ridiculou!
notions about the climate of the new
world. Even so late as the middle
of the present century we find Charle
Dickens travelling in the United
States, and returning to England t.
cram into his notes and fiction many
absurd statements about the deadl,
climate of the Ohio valley!
When the Oregon question was be
fore congress, from 1920 to 1916, th,
most ridiculous statements wer
made on the floor of the senate ant
the house concerning the alleged IN.
salubrity of the climate.

HOW CHAMBERLAIN WORKS
London Colonial Secretary a Very
Busy Man These Days

A glance at Mr.. Chamberlain's room
in the colonial office will reveal part
of the secret of his power of getting
through work. There is nothing super
fluous, nothing out of place; and every
morning when he comes to business his
desk is absolutely clear. There is not
a paper in the room. Mr.. Chamberlain
works in large ROOM looking on the
great quadrangle round which are built
the fore ign, colonial, home and Indian
offices. He often lunches in his room
when too occupied to go to his club,
the Athenaeum. Sitting at his large desk
at the farther end of the ROOM he has
accorded interviews to men of all ma
tionalihes and all colors. Mr. Cham
berlain's morning at the colonial office
is taker up in dealing with great
mass of papers. In addition, he has to
give verbal instructions to his subor-
dinates and to see a large number of
important people. In the afternoon he
has to go down to the house of COM
mons during the session. where as a
minister he must attend daily
to answer questions, besides tran
sacting his general parliament
airy business. To his Aprivate
room in the house of commons papers
follow him in boxes, labelled with slips
of paper, red, green, or white accord
ing to the urgency of their contents
Nor is the days work ended there At
midnight, when he goes home, he finds
papers at his private house; and even
when he is away from London they ar
rive with regularity by post or by spe-
cial messenger. In fact, Mr.. Chamber
lain cannot escape them unless he were

poets to have the major bound hand
and foot by an iron-clad contract.
Taylor" said Mr.. Breyer, yesterday
must agree to come and come at
once, or by compact with the National
Cycling Association, which we shall
soon make, he will be barred from rid
ing in France altogether. We will
then receive only such riders as are
in good standing with the National Cy-
cling Association.
I'm France, I am, convinced, TAYLOR
would be a tremendous success. He is
the best advertised rider now on the
American tracks. The PAPERS Of our
country have all been specializing for
months on his probable appearance in
France.
ITO tell you the truth, we would not
give one penny for the appearance of
Cooper, Kiser or Gardiner at a French
meet. but with Taylor it is an altogeth-
err different subject He would be a
real attraction. His first race meet
would be one of the best ever seen in
France. Should he be beaten, his star
would, of course. set, but should he win,
his drawing power would be unlimited.
1.-THE other American riders will have
to earn their way in France, but Tay-
Tor is already an assured success"

who in the past has declined many
tempting offers to race in France be-
cause, Sunday is the great race-day

But the major did not permit his Pu-
ritanical ideas to succumb without a
Struggle. He was Confronted with
stern, hard facts, chief among them
the knowledge that the American field
was practically closed to him, and that
he must either race in France on Sun
days or not race at all.
Not even a spurious promise of i'm
mense financial gains was needed to
induce the major to go to France and
ride next season. The report that he
was offered $4,000 is a fable The
sum the major is to get is really com

Mr. J NJ. Blakeley, of fLeuderman,
says that the following plan for kill
ing hawks is all right, as he has tried
it with success for several years /:
Take a small quantity of syrup and
-four. and make thick paste of it.
For forty or fifty chickens add to the
paste a portion OF strycbnine about
the size of grain Of corn Take a
split, pick up the chicken. rub the
past on the back of its head, and put
little dry -four over the paste,
which keeps it from sticking to the
hen. 1t will last two or three weeks

nine hawks week by this plan. -.
