all the specimens taken out show unmis-
taxable evidence of having died a violent
death. The fms are widely dstended and
the bodies are found twisted in every posi-
bic form. if the fish had died in great
agony.
A large layer Of shale about 30 by 100
feet. which has been found carefully un-
covered, shows on its surface the tracks
OF gigantic birds Which at this time stalked
across the shallow mud flats in this region
The markings are three-toed and of about
the size of a mans hand. From the sact
tina, the right and left footprints are ao1ut
three feet apart, the huge size of this bird
can be readily inferred. The slab of rock
is crossed and recrossed in every direction
with the tracks of these birds which evil

spaces between the footprints attest.

Mrs. Ewing of Salt Lake City came To
Clinton, Iowa, on a strange errand this
week Her mission here was for the mr.
pose of ascertaining whether or not the
body of her five-year-old son, buried forty
years ago, was petrified.
Mrs. Ewing was formerly the wife of
General Granger, who made a brilliant REQ
ord during the civil war At the outbreak
of the rebellion he enlisted and went to
the front, leaving behind his wife and
child Soon afterward the boy died and
was buried in the lot at the residence Two
years later the remains were disinterred
and were buried in Oakland cemetery
hen the casket was removed from the
grave II was found to be as heavy as stone
The lid was lifted and the remains were
found to be in perfect state of preserva-
ton, and looked natural as when life
TOOK ITS flight The body was so heavy
mat those who saw and handled it said II
was turning to stone. 1t was a dark and
bloody time when this little occurrence took
place, and the father OF the child was amid
dangers IN the south, and the mother did
not care to have a further examination
made Shortly after the body was exhurned
Mrs Ewing. then Mrs. Granger, left the
city. The general died and she married
again. and Is now resident of Salt Lake
city. Ever since the body was exhumed
forty years ago. it has been a constant de,
sire on the part of Mrs. Ewing to know
whether or not the body of her boy was
petrified. and for this purpose she visited
Clinton. and. with few old friends. went
TO the cemetery. where the sexton care
iuily removed the earth and brought to
light the casket. which was still we'll nre-
served On removing the cover nothing
was found but a handful of dust bur the
mother was satisfied. Again the casket was
lowered into the grave, perhaps never to he
again disturbed The mother has returned
TO her home at Salt Lake City.

mems as types. but in this the ignorant
Filipino people are the more excusabls.
l was reminded Of Kiplings lines:
by all We will or whisper,
BY all ye dare ordo,
The silent. sullen peoples

'By all We will or whisper.
By all ye dare ordo.
The silent, sulen peoples
Shall judge Your God and you"
tives have a keen sense Of justice, whether
the acts adjudged be their own or others:
and whenever forbearance Il not liable to
be mistaken for weakness we must try to
forbear. 1t is our best chance, even though
We, when the goal Is nearest (the end for
others soughD see sloth and heather folly
bring all our plans TO naught." Without q
doubt. the new civil government here will
work along these lines and will show to
the world model of good colonial eoyern-
ment. If an Englishman criticises our ad-
ministration here thus far, one need only
quote Macaulay's scathing description of the
scandalous misrule in India at one period
during the British occupation, beside which
the very worst Of our mistakes are utterly
insignificant.
Health Statistics Good.
Very encouraging health statistics have
been published recently. of which you may
have heard by cable. From October to
June, inclusive, there were S,5a5 deaths. of
which 3,5O7 were children under five wears
old. surely not a high percentage for a
subtropical city of very nearly half a mill
lion Inhabitants. An encouraging feature
Is that every month has shown a decrease
in the number, from / ,235 in November (of
which SIS were children) to $50 in June
(of which 231 were children). During this
period the total number of deaths from the
different classes of diseases was as fol-
lows:
tuberculosis. 800: beriberi, $40: malarial
diseases, 1913; diarrhoeal diseases 1 orr.
acute lung diseases, 631; typhoid fever Al:
smallpox. 7: bubonic plague, 1870: leprosy.
IS: measles. 4. But these latter figures do
not include Chinese deaths that are in
cluded in the totals given above. American
sanitary administration will do wonders for
these colonies. which, under Spanish admin
istration, were actual sinks Of iniquity It
Is to be hoped that the Filipinos will APP
preciate the difference. JACK RABBIT.

A Trip to the Interior.


The trip to the Iaguna is very pleasant
one but 1t occupies two days. We started
by the regular Filipino steamer Command
ante. leaving Manila at a. and winding
up the Pasig river for several hours before
reaching the lake The Pasig varies in
width from one to two hundred yards. The
country on each side is generally fiat, but
the river banks are a constant source of
amusement. One would think that the chief
occupations of the people were washing
clothes, bathing and fishing. They in
deed a very clearly people. and the
men especially are always dressed in bright,
clean clothes and are modest and well be-
haved. The little children. of course, wear
little nothing.
Our steamer, built to carry perhaps one
hundred. had at least two hundred natives
on board. mostly Filipinos. but with a
sprinkling of Chinese. 1t was a lively
good atured crowd and seemed to sustain
the growing conviction that the natives are
becoming reconciIed to American rule
Reaching the lake, We coasted along the
southern shore stopping at Kolamba and a
couple of other towns, where big native
boats, followed out Of tree trunks came off
to meet US and take passengers ashore
From the steamer hills and hazy noun
tains nearly 1900 feet high were visible on
every side except behind us, toward Manila
while to the southeast a high truncated
cone 100 feet high stood out against the
horizon. The lake Is large, but shallow
about twenty-five miles in diameter but
with two great promontories running far
out from the northern shore and almost
dividing 1t into three lakes. At the ex-
Pacific. "

Well, We finally reached Santa Cruz. dis
embarked in cascoes, took a carriage that
drove far out into the water to meet US
and drove up to the United States Hotel
and Restaurant in a sudden and violent
shower. Thanks to the hospitality of the
colonel and officers of the 9th Infantry, We
had a pleasant visit and a refreshing sleep
OFF for his post up in the hills at the large
town Of Majayjay pronounced MahaihaD
with an escort of thirty hardy cavalrymen.
and then We took the army boat, or quar-
termastcr's launch. back to Manila arriving
at 30 pm. They said up at Santa Cruz
that the people are still somewhat "offish"
for instance. they would not be hired to
work on the wretched road up from the
lake and prisoners had to be used The
insurSent forces up in the hills are not
very active, except when they are chased
in which case they escape by various trails
through the mountains and disappear like
water In sand They exhibited a certain
sense of humor by posting a proclamation
in Santa Cruz one night, Offering "amnes-
ty'' TO Americans who should take oath of
fealty to the Filipino republic: offering also

take-off on our amnesty proclamation, but

Sources of Wealth.

By taking this trip through the lake you
realize one source Of Manila's wealth.
namely. its situation at the mouth of the
Pasig, the river draining the great Laguna
de Bal. and furnishing cheap water trans
portation to its products. 1t is doubtful II
any town on Subig bay can ever rival Ma
Mia. which has by far the best possible
situation. commercially. in Luzon and is in
position to dominate the trade Of the en-
tire archipelago. Other cities may rise to
Importance. but the prestige of Manila is
as secure as that Of New York, and 1t is an
ideal headquarters for the United States in
the far east. A well-informed Englishman.
a colonial officer. diplomat. Judge and trav-
eler. told me that England might well ex-
change all her colonial possessions out here
for the single Island Of Luzon. But, he
said. you must learn the lesson that we
have learned at such cost. namely. to treat
the native better and not call Intelligent

500 of the worst men-men who think no

Poor American Types.
These men. he said. are accepted by the

they accept some poor specimens of FIJI

constant distrust. irritation, hatred and
war. Both sides err in taking poor speci-

Dogs In War.
OlOndon Tit-BitsJ

There IS only one drawback that can
possibly attend the taking Of dUEs on war
expeditions, ana that Is that they may
bark when a night surprise IS intended,
but even this does not apply when dte
precautions are taken, and in recent cam
paignS the presence Of fasTOTiLe dogs OF
officers has been repeatedly referred TO.
A fox terrier owned by Colonel Matthias
was actually in the desperate charge Of
the Lancers at Omdurman. and came out
without a scratch; and there was a dog,
also the faithful friend of one Of the
young officers Of the HighlanderS, at
Dargai. About this animal many Of the
newspapers tOlG d story much earlier in
the campaign. It disappeared one night
