The Philippine Islands,

The Philippine Islands are large
aud important group of the Malay
Archipelago, forming its n. division.
aud, next to Cuba, the most valuable
colonial possesS.~a of Spain, chiefly
between latitude 30 aud 10 80 n.
and longitude III and l26 F., hav-
ing \. aud f. the Pacific ocean, W.
the China and Sooloo seas, and :.
the sea of Selebes. There are about
1900 islands in all, of which 4OS are
inhabited. The principal islands are
Luzon, Mindanao and Palawan, with
Mindoro, Pauay, Negros, Zebu, Bohol,
Leyte, Samor, Masbate, and many of
less size. The total area is estimated
at about 115,52S square miles. and
the population at about 100000.
The islands are of volcanic forma-
ton, traversed by chain of noun
tains from north to south, rising in
some of them to 5000 feet. and some
of these are still active volcanoes.
The coasts of most of them are deep
ly indented by the sea>and the larger
islands are well watered by large
streams, with estuaries affordiDg eX-
cellent harbors. Earthquakes are of
frequent occurrence. The group is
within the range of the monsoons,
and violent hurricanes are common.
From May to September the west
coasts are deluged with rain, while
the October monsoon brings rain TO
the east coasts. which are at other
seasons dry. The high temperature
and abundance of moisture produces
a luXuriant vegetation. SO that they
are capable of yielding all kinds of
colonial and probably European pro
duce. Rice, millet, maize. sugar. in
digo, hemp. tobacco. coffee and cot
ton are raised: and sage, cocoanuts.
bananas. cinnamon, betel. numerous
fine fruits, timber for shipbuilding,
and dye foods, are among the pro-
duets.

RIOT IN HAvANA.-Three Cubans
were killed and one Spanish officer
and two Cubans were wounded last
week in Havana in an ARRAY between
some Spanish officers oil duty and
number of citizens and a party of
Cubans, who wished to close the Ia
con Theater on account of the death
of General Garcia at Washington.
The Spanish troops on duty in:erven-
ed and restored order. After the
news of General Garcia's death spread
through Havana the Cubans wished
to have all the places of amusement
closed. They succeeded in closing
two places frequented by Cubans,
but the management of the Tacon
Theater, where there were many
Spanish officers among the audience,
refused to close the theater. There
upon, Allegrette, former captain of
insurgent troops, got into an excited
argument with the manager of the
theater, and Allegrette was escorted
to the sidewalk oy the police on duty.
There he entered into a heated dis
cussion with Spanish officer, who
struck him across the face with the
fiat of his sword, which precipitated
the rioting. After some thrilling
scenes, in which some American off
GERS had narrow escapes from stray
bullets, order was restored.

A NOTED 6EOLO6IsT
Who First Discovered Copper In the
Lake Superior District.

Prof. Cumming Cherry, ST., the not
ed geOlOgist whose death has Just been
announced from Chicago, was the dis
coverer of the first traces of copper in
the rich Lake Superior district. He
was also. says the Buffalo Express. die
tinguished as the inventor of q process
of making Oil from so-called stone coal.
Prof. Cherry was born in Strathavon,
Scotland. in 1915, and came to this
country in 1888. He went to Pittsburg
at once and there engaged in business.
Prof. Cherry was constant student
of geology and in 1874 was sent into the
west to take charge of the interests of
pany. He trsversed the copper re-
gions along the greatest of the Great
Lakes. His acute knowledge
of strata, rock formation
and familiarity, almost
intuitive, with the slightest sign of
mineral wealth, hidden though Il be,
led him to pronounce the Lake Super
Tor country one of vast possibilities. In
q short time he opened the Cliff,
Northwestern, Hancock and Pewsbic
mine
Prof Cherry's discoveries had at
tracted the attention of the Hudson
Bay company and that organization It
once engaged the services of the
young man to examine it's ter
ritory and report on the mineral
resources. This resulted in the
of several mines.
While acting for this company, Prof.
Cherry crossed the continent to Puget
Sound and then went south to Calif0r-
mia, where he erected the first quartz
mill in that state.
He continued hts southern journey
and visited Mexico, Central America
and various South Anne rican countries,
always on the look out for mineral
deposits. On this trip he obtained
possession of $4,000 acres of land
in Sonora, Mexico, which he
still owned at the time of his death. In
1858 Prof. Cherry took charge Of the
famous Comstock lode in Virginia
City, New. He remained in this posi-
ton for three years and then went to
Chicago. where he has since lived.
