Philippines Rich in Coal.

George F. Becker, of the Govern
ment Geological Survey, has just re-
turned from a years visit to the Phil
lppines. He has submitted to General
Otis long report on his observations
as a geologist. Mr.. Becker is the
survey expert who visited the Trans
vaal several years ago. His report
shows that the outlook for gold and
other valuable metal in the Philippines
Ii meagre. He says there is a better
chance Of getting rich on gold in the
Southern states than in the Philip
pines.
He found. however, that the islands
were rich In coal deposits. and that one
Of the great industries of the Phillip
pines would probably be coal mining.
Coal can be mined and sold in the
islands for 81 per ton, or placed on
board ships for $2s5 per ton extra.
At present most Of the coal comes
from Japan and costs $40 per ton.
The difficulty in carrying on the en-
terprise OF mining will be in securing
efficient labor. The Filipinos. says
Mr.. Becker, cannot be depended upon
10 work hard or long. AS soon as the
average native gets 81 ahead he takes
a week Oft and spends 1t. The only
class upon which coal mine owners
could draw for miners and other la
borers are the half breeds. the natives
who have mixed with the Chinese. The
latter furnish the most energetic and

SNORING.
Traveller Says the Disagreeable
Noise Is Mark of Civilization.

Noise Is a Mark of Civilization.
From the New York Sun.
Snoring may be inconveniently oh
trusive in a sleeping car" said the ex-
perienced traveller, but it Is just rs
much a mark of high stage Of civil
ization as Is the sleeping car itself.
You may take it for a fact that all the
wild and inferior races do not snore.
The doctrine of the survival Of the fit
test gets in it's work right there, and
the savage person who vocalizes his
sleep stands a very good chance Of
learning that snoring is not good for
the health. Suppose you are very
savage person out on the warpath in
Il country full of your enemies. You
take every precaution against discov-
cry, covering up your trail and select
ing your camp so as to battle ordinary
search. That's all right, but if you
snore it's all wrong; an enemy who
hears the sound will make investiga-
tions and the result is fatal always
and frequently uncomfortable.
II have been great deal among wild
| people, both in this country and else
| where. and I know that they do not
ernment professors with me; he was a
very wise man, and knew more about
| the savages than they did themselves
but he would snore to beat the band
| Like most people whose slunbers are
orchestrated, he denied the fact. and
we should never have convinced him of
| what the rest of us had every reason
| to know, if it had not been for one
| little circumstance. One night we made
our camp right in a village of the saw
ages. They were peaceful enough, and

as well to keep some sort of watch

lifted myself up on my elbow to see
what was up. I'm blest II pretty near
the whole outfit of the savages hadn't
left their own houses and squatted
down on the grass where they could
look into our camp and see what was
going on. 1t was the first time in all
their lives they had ever heard a man
snore. and they did not know what to
make Of 1t. Or rather they thought
they did, for they sized It up that some
one Of the gods was communicat ting
with the white men.
ITS never very safe to monkey with
the religious opinions of the savages,
so l got up and woke the professor
When he saw the crowd sitting around
our camp he was scared for fair. But
when I told him that the savages had
gathered just to hear him snore 1t made
him mad. I don't see why 1t should.
If the savages don't snore and the
civilized people do, then the snore
should be taken as one of the badges
of civilization"

Circulars are about to be sent out
in behalf of the Mining Institute at
Freeland. established and maintained
by the generosity of the late Eckley
Is. Coke. An extension and library
are badly needed and the first appeal
to the public will he made The new
edifice and library will cost about
$1,000. Nearly $1,000 has already been
subscribed for the building fund and
$1,000 extra for the furnishings. The
trustees are about to send out circu-
lars. In which the benefits of the school
will be fully set forth. Under the
charter any person contributing the
sum of 5000 or more at any one time
becomes a life member; less than that
amount and under $1O makes him or
her an annual member. The trustees
believe that the effort to literally cdu-
cate the sons of mine toilers. so that
their future shall be bettered and their
social conditions elevated. will attract
attention.
In 1875 Mr.. Coke established the
school at DriftCn for instruction in
scientific mining. 1t was open to all
young men and boys in his employe.
Its first teacher was O. ]. Heinrich, a
fellow student of the late Mr.. Coke at
Freiburg. Germany. He died and was
succeeded by John r. Wagner. a
graduate of Lehigh University, who
continued as manager until 1898. when
Mr.. Coke placed the control of the
school in the hands of board of trus-
tees of his own selection. The board
subsequently secured a charter for the
school under the name of the Mnin ,
and Mechanical Institute. Mr.. Coke
died in 1895 and the school was soon
after removed to Freeland. where
rooms in BirkbeCk's building were se-
cured and where it has tourished
since. Its achievements have been
nothing less than remarkable. Its
students came from the young and
hard working contingent of the an
thracite coal regions generally. AT
present there are about 12G students
enrolled. A corps of six teachers is
employed, the curriculum being divid-
ed into a mining class, mechanical
class, scientific class and Il regular
university preparatory class.
