SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

The forests of the Philippines
are thought to contain about
500 species, more than 4OObeing
now known. There are 81 spe-
cies Of palms, % of the oak fam
lily, including two oaks. and 8
conifers, with only one true
pine-the last named growing
in dense forest above a height
of 1000 feet in the island of
Luzon. At least so species are
valuable. One Of the most inn
portant is the yang ylang tree,
yielding much priced oil; but
others furnish cocoanuts, gutta
percha, varnish, many dye
woods, and some fine hard
woods. A system Of forestry
has existed 80 years. Between
2O,OOO,OO0 and 100000 acres Of
government lands have been
cared for by about So foresters
and 100 subordinates, and the
regulations have been on the
most scientific European mod
el. With usual Spanish laxity
in administration however,
chief attention has been given
to collecting licenses and other
revenues.

President Martin of Picking
University says in "The SIM
day School Times: During
the first stage Of the siege ]
noticed a handsome young
woman, one the guests from
abroad, sitting for her portrait,
while the artist, Miss. Payen,
with untrembling hand trans
ferred her pleasing features to
canvas / wondered at the com
.posure of both. Nor was my
establishment diminished when
in the evening, overheard that
same young woman saying to
Capt. Myers, Now, remember
should they overpower us, your
nrst duty will be to shoot me-.
Another woman, the mother of
a family, displayed equal nerve.
Her husband had given her a
revolver, with the injunction,
in the case supposed, first to
shoot her daughters, and then
to shoot herself, if he should
not be at hand to relieve her
of that painful duty. Both he
and she were good Christians,
and it it believed that similar
arrangements we're made in
the case ofevery woman within
the Legation. In our circum-
stances there was no time for
casuistry."
