Letter From the Philippines.
Ibajay, P. l., Aug. II, 1900.
Mr.. John w. Russell,

|
Meade, Kansas,
Dear Brother-Yesterday 1 wa
made to realize that had a brothe
in western Kansas who had not en-
tirely forgotten me and 1 will say i
was a very happy realization as /
had been so long since we had hearc
from the states. Since 1 last wrote
you the battalion has changed it:
headquarters from Jaro to this place.
for which 1 am very glad as this i:
considered one of the most healthy
situations on the island. When we
left Jaro we went to a place called
Pandan where we stayed for two
weeks and then Co. H and the Isl
platoon of Co. E. were taken to this
place where headquarters were es-
tablished while Co. G. and the end
platoon of our company still remain
at Pandan. Since we left Jaro April
IS, we have had 4 engagements, 3 OF
which l was in. In the engage
ments we lost killed and 3 wound
ed and we put several of the Khakies
on the "bum." The two soldiers
that were killed were worth the whole
islands with all of the inhabitants.
suppose you think that 1 should
know the exact condition of the
fighting element but 1 do not. Some
times 1 think they are going to sur
render and then again 1 do not know
what l think or whether l think at
all or not. There is no reason why
a soldier should not think on any
subject for that is about all he is al
lowed to do without first consulting
his superior.
had almost forgotten to mention
the weather which is generally the
first subject mentioned when con
versing with anyone. We have been
experiencing the rainy season for
more than a month. Now the water
is not feet deep over the entire
surface of the island as 1 expected
when l first heard the rainy season
spoken of, but we have very heavy
rainfall here from July until the last
of October, and were it not for this
it would be impossible for the ma
tives to raise the rice they do. AS
to the temperature, it is no warm
er here than in Kansas and we al
ways have breeze at night which
makes it very comfortable to sleep
under'a blanket. Our duty for the
past month has been guard and
short patrol. Taking guard accord
ing to the company roster, l am on
guard every four days. This bat
talon has a mounted detachment
of 80 men of which 1 am member
and it is much easier riding than on
foot.
All the towns of any size have a
police force varying in number &C
cording to the size of the town.
This place has IS which patrol the
town of a night. The government
is going to arm and mount 1ao scouts
from this province which will make
the work lighter for the soldiers.
We are IS miles from Pandan where
G company is and 1 get to see VIM.
Ellis and Roscoe Griggs quite often
and they are well also is Frank Wal
ters.
How do you like the Meade peo-
pie? think they are alright. 1
was never treated so friendly as l
was the short time l was there and
l feel as though 1 have friends in
Meade who would do anything they
could that would benefit my well
fare.

A0susalis Sells For Feed the Rabbats
She Cannot Extsrninass.
Everybody has heard Of the extraor-
dinary ravages of the European rab-
bits that were introduced into Aus
traliA years ago. The animals were
imported SO that the British subjects
who had removed = the antipodss
might enjoy the sport Of rabit hunt
ing. They had more sport than they
bargained for and the whole country
regrets the days the little animal was
introduced to Australian scenes. There
are many millions of them now and
the little nibblers eat the grass. de-
stroy fields, orchards and gardens and
are the great nuisance of the country.
The rewards offered by the various
colonies for some sure way Of destroy
ing the pest would make the fortune
Of the man who should discover the
process. Today. however. the Aus
tralians appear to be little more re-
signed under the infliction. The idea
occurred to them, while ago. that
they might utilize the animal on
large scale a. q commercial commod-
ity. So they set to work to kill rab-
bits by the thousands. can the meat
and send 1t to Europe in cold storage.
Australian canned rabbit sells at q
cheap price in the British markets and
is beginning to be largely consumed
by those who cannot afford very often
to indulge in prime beef. Australia
has found q new industry and who
knows but some day, the rabbit may
come to be regarded as one Of the
great resources of the continent?-

Snow Is = Fertilizer.

Farmers have long understood and
appreciated the fact that snow is =
great fertilizer. but just why this is so
they have probably been unable to
say. Science has demonstrated that
snow in falling serves double pur-
pose. The soft. damp fakes cleanse
the atmosphere Of very large amount
of impurities, carrying them to the
earth. The amount of solid matter car
ried down in an ordinary snowstorm
and the cleanliness of the atmosphere
afterwards are best appreciated by
chemical analysis of the snow melted
into water and examined. Small par
ticles of SCOT, free ammonia and solid
matter are all taken from the atmos-
phere and precipitated upon the earth.
The air in cities after a snowstorm
shows in striking contrast with that
under ordinary circumstances. After
wet snow in a manufacturing city
the air was almost as pure as in the
country. the soft particles having lit
orally scraped out Of the air the SCOT
that was there held in suspension.
Some of these days when we have
grown more scientific than at present,
we may be able to make artificial snow
storms to cleanse the atmosphere.
This certainly would be 4 great tri-
umph, and one which the dwellers in
smoke-laden cities would value very
highly.
