LARGE DEPOSITS FOUND IN THE
ISLAND.
Gold and Iron Ore-Recent Discoveries
Show Mineral Resources to BE Great
Twelve hundred Prospecsors Now
at Work in the Archipelago.

In its report on the mineral wealth
sion says:
According to the chief of the mining
bureau there are now some 1,200 pros
pectors and practical miners scattered
through the different islands of the
archipelago. OF these probably 80 per
cent are Americans. They are pushing
their way more into the inaccessible
regions, furnishing their own protec-
ton and doing prospecting of sort
and to an extent never before parallel
ed in the history of the Philippine is
lands. The result is that our know
ledge of the mineral resources of the
group is rapidly increasing. When all
due allowance is made for prOspectors
eXaggerations it is not too much to say
that the work thus far done has demon
started the existence of many valuable
mineral fields. The provinces of Ben
guest, Lepanto, and Bontoc in partic-
ular from a district of great richness.

zon, Batan, 0he island, not the province).
Mindoro, Masbate, Negros, Cebu, Min
danao, and other islands. Some of the
deposits are very extensive. AS yet
they have been worked at or near the
surface. 1t is therefore remarkable
that the samples thus far obtained
should prove to be as good as is shown
by actual analysis.

that the Philippine Goals do not clinker
nor do they soil the boiler tubes to any
such extent as do Japanese and Aus
tralian Goals. Some of them have been
given practical tests in steamers en-
gagged in the coaling trade of the archi-
pelago with very satisfactory results
as regards their steam-making proper
ties.
THE extensive fields near Bulacacao
in Southern Mindoro, are within four
10 six miles of harbor which gives
ssae anchorage throughout the year
~d which has water deep enough for
the largest ocean-going vessels. Some
of the Cebu deposits are also convent
emily situated with reference to harbor
facilities. 1t is to be confidently ex-
pected that the Goals will play a very
important part in the future develop
ment of the archipelago.
THE outlook as to gold mines grows
more favorable as the operations of
prospectors are extended. Modern
goldmining machinery has never been
used in the Philippines. Igorroto min
ers in the Benguet-L epanto- Bontoc dis

not visible a considerable quantity of

claim to have located very extensive
deposits of low grade, free milling ore.

turns as soon as concessions can be Sc
cured and machinery put in place.

During the recent trip of the Belgica
In the Antarctic more than sixty OBJ
servations of the aurora australis, the
southern counterpart of our northern
lights, were made. The appearance of
the light resembled that presented in
the Arctic regions. But the maximum
frequency did not occur during the
months of the long polar night, and the
phenomenon was most intense at the
time of the equinoxes, when the sun is
perpendicular over the equator and
daylight is simultaneous at both the
north and the south pole.
Sir John Murray recently showed how
remarkably the Black Sea differs from
other seas and oceans. surface cur
rent flows continuously from the Black
Sea into the Mediterranean, and an
under current from the Mediterranean
into the Black Sea. The latter current
is salt. and, being heavier than the
fresh water above, it remains stagnant
at the bottom. Being saturated with
sulphuretted hydrogen, this water will
not maintain life and so the Black Sea
contains no living inhabitants below
the depth of about 100 fathoms. The
deeper water when brought to the sur
face smells exactly like rotten eggs.
DR.. c. 7. Williams in a recent address
before the Life Assurance Medical Off
GERS Association of England gave some
interesting details as to the mortality
and expectation of life in the various
European states. Taking an average
of twenty-five recent consecutive years,
the deaths per thousand of the popula-
ton in the several countries are as fol
lows: Norway, 16S; Sweden, 17.3; Ire
land, ISL; Denmark, 1873; England,
1876; Scotland, 20; Belgium, 81; Swift
erland, 21.7; France, 22.6; German en-
pire, 25.2; Italy, 27.S; Austria, 300;
Hungary, 35.4. Norway has the low
est death rate, 1853. and Hungary the
highest, 35.4. With regard to the ex-
pectation of life at 20 years, the figures
for America are 1919 years, Britain
42.1O, Germany 39.GS, and France Al S3.
If the mosquito has any friends
among mankind, they may rejoice in
/
ard, of the Department of Agriculture,
that this cosmopolitan pest does not
necessarily perish with the oncoming
of winter. On the contrary, mosqui-
toes have been observed in the lati-
tude of Washington to hibernate, adult
specimens living from November until
the succeeding April or May with all
their powers of torment unimpaired,
although their activity is suspended
in winter. The mosquito needs but
little food, and it is the female that
thirsts for blood. the males contenting
themselves with water and vegetable
fluids. DR.. Howard ascribes the fact
that mosquitoes are often found upon
dry prairies, many miles from water,
to the longevity of the adults of certain
species, which enables tnem to survive
seasons of drought. Railroads have
been responsible for the transportation
of mosquitoes into regions where they
were previously rare. Their power of
flight is not great and it is believed
that they are not distributed far
through the agency Of winds.

Athletics, like any other good thing,
instead of pastime, they may prove
detrimental. A youth who makes the
development of his body a life-study, to
the sacrifice of his mental growth, is
not popular in college or elsewhere; for
the chances al he will develop into a
professional. There is, nevertheless. no
drawer ambition of youth than to pos
sess a clean, strong body-to excel in
the healthy. ardent sports Of men. You
never saw sound, strong boy, able to
box, fence race, and play football, who
was dishonest. You never knew
STRAIGHTFORWARD steeplechaser, straining
to his last ounce of courage for the
honor of his college and class, who lied
or cheated or stole. Athletics breed
sincerity. For that reason, If for no
other, the clean-cut fellows who prac-
fice them can afford to take the risks.
In the Olympian games of old there

created to strive, to wrestle, to show

An American economist recently Wis
ated a flower mandatory in Brussels,
and found thirty girls at W ork with 10
overseer in sight. Their employer was
teaching them to do every bit of work
perfectly for honor's sake. The early
history of the factory throws light on
his success. Before engaging his en-
ployes. the proprietor ascertained that
other factories paid girls twenty cents
a day, and that woman could not live
decently on less than fifty. Very well;
in his establishment no lower wage
than fifty cents should be paid. Such
principles are not the beginning of wis
dom alone but Of financial success as
well. The proprietor affirms that the
loyal devotion and faithful work of his
employees more than compensate for
the increased expenditure in wages.
