MANILA BAY.
New Chart Being Prepared by the
Coast Survey.

A new chart of the bay ard surrounding
waters of Manila Is about to be issued by
the coast and geodetic survey. The work
Of sounding the waters surrounding the
Philippine Islands is being carried on
through branch of the coast survey, and
the final charts will be issued from this
city, although locally the work Is being
done under the insular department of COM
merce. The surveying steamer Research
was purchased by this department some
months ago and placed in commission. The
chart of Manila bay viii be the nrst pro-
duct of her work.
1t has been less than year since the
first detail from the survey corps went TO
the Philippines as ordered sby Congress.
This detail included officers who had served
In Alaska Porto Rico and other parts of
the United States, and in addition some
capable young men from the technical
courses of the universities on the Paclflc
coast Shortly after arrival in Manila
active field work was commenced. Harbor
surveys have already been made at a num-
Der of important places about the Islands,,
including San Fernando, Tacloban, Le-
gaspi, etc. 1t is surprising, in view of
their commercial Importance. that there
were no special charts OF many or the
principal ports of the islands. A consider
able amount of survey work was, however,
done by the Spanish, as is shown by the
126 Philippine charts published at Madrid.
With the idea of getting the information
promptly before the pubic, tne coast sur
vey has adopted the policy of publishing
advance editions of charts in Manila. max
ing use of the photographic facilities exist
ing here, and thus saving a number OF
months in sending the data to Washington
for publication. An expert craftsman ac-
companied the expedition, and he has had
good success in training native craftsmen
in chart work; the Filipinos show marked
talent in this direction. Nine charts have
already been printed in Manila, and others
are In preparation.
Another important work that was imme-
diately taken up by the first coast survey
expedition was the determination of geo.
graphic positions throughout the islands,
to form the base points for the local sur
yeys as well for more extensive future
work. Longitudes were determined by the
welI-known telegraphic method. and lati-
tudes likewise by the most refined method
two or three parties have worked continu-
ously at this since last January and many
of the more important points have now
been determined in Luzon and the centra
islands. The use o fthe cable and telegraph
lines of the Signal Corps and the Eastern
Extension Telegraph Company have beer
extended for this work, and generous as
eistance has been received from officials
both military and civil, throughout tht
islands.
An endeavor Is being made to develop thu
survey work first in the directions that viii
be most practically useful to commercial
and government shipping. Suitable ioca

Spiritual agencies were everywhere popu-

OF those saints who were believed to have
special influence over the mentally aff1ict,

to have been brought about through exor-

through Europe and the British Isles, each
with its particular saint, to which the
insane were brought to bathe and TO pray.

custom to plunge the patients backward
