Our Ignorance of Earth.
From the London Graphic.

From the London Graphic.
1t is beginning to strike the thoughtful
that we know very little of the appearance
Of the earth. A mine that descends a quar-
ter of mile underground is, relatively
speaking. scarcely more than the impress
sion made by a ferrule of a walking stick
on a wet road. The great heart of the globe
itself remains untouched and unknown Is
it solid or is it liquid? But more humblng
is the reflection that until we learn to fiv
we shall have no true conception of the pic
ture of the earth. Our vision is lateral.
We are looking at the earth as though to
see ourselves, We held a mirror with its
end against our nose, and looked along it
We think we know how a tree looks, how
a mountain looks, even how a man
looks; but we do not. We only know
as much of their appearance as a fiy
knows of the picture 1t crawls upon. To see
picture properly one must stand away
from it, and until we get off the earth
either by flying machines or balloons, we
shall have no faithful idea of how our
planet really looks Universal flying would
surely breed an entirely new school of art.

OIL IN PHILIPPINES
Prospectors Will Sink Wells Near Ca
vite
From the Manila Times.

From the Manila Times.
There are many undeveloped resources
in these islands which have been the basis
for much speculation during the past few
years, but what may turn out to be the
most important of all has hitherto been
been entirely overlooked. 1t seems that the
Spanish regime failed to take it into consid-
Grafton and as a result there are no eX-
elusive franchises on this particular field
Reference is made to oil deposits. 1t now
appears that these islands are to be thor
oughly tested for this remuneratiVe liquid
and the drilling will commence in the very
near future. Prospecting has been carried
on for some time past, and every move in
that direction has been carefully concealed.
but the parties who have been on the field
companies have now decided that they can
afford to go ahead and drill openly; and
they are confident that they will be reward
ed with success.
These islands are claimed to be in the oil
belt that is supposed to girdle the globe,
and the indications are said to be as good,
If not better. than in most of the countries
where oil has heretofore been found in
large quantities. Upon the bay, and in the
immediate vicinity of Nayite, it is claimed
that not only appearances of petroleum are
to be found, but that at many points the
oil is seen to bubble up from the water.
1t is claimed by experts that this is sure
sign that the oil sand is not far below the
bed of the bay and they have decided to
test it. They will drill number of wells in
these islands, begenning their operations in
the vicinity of Cavite, which is at present
believed to be the most favorable locality.

ART AND ATHLETICS.
The Outdoor Movement Will Advance
Art as Well as Health.

From Outing
The universally increasing attention now
being given, especially in Anglo-Saxon
countries, to out-ofdoor sports and to ply
steal culture is a sign of the best omen.
No class can have a greater solicitude for
the furtherancc of this movement than the
artists for they cannot create beautiful
forms without having beautiful forms
around them from which to draw inspira-
ton. The art of a nation is but the mirror
of that nations ideals, and faithfully re-
fleets their slightest change.
This new conception of the value Of ath-
letics will add dignity, interest and stand
ing, making it a factor second to none in
the development of civilization. 1t will
be a mighty influence in the creation of a
new and superior type of men and women.
That women are growing more and more
to realize this is evidenced by the athletic
tendency of the modern girl. If she will
combine Herewith an intelligent effort
after well-balanced and harmonious devel-
opment the results are bound to be salts
flying in the extreme, for in many ways the
female body is quicker than the male to re-
Spond to training.

If the organs of the hpdy cannot be said
to sleep neither can. the voluntary muscles.
Witness the phenomepa of sleep-walking

do it today; infantry who have been known
to sleep OH forced marches; sentinels who
walk their beats, carrying their guns in a

know, policemen may do it, too People
who talk In their sleep are familiar to all
of US. Experiments made by Speir Arm
strong and Child on go college students of
both sexes showed that Al per cent of the
men, and 81 per cent of the women talk ed
in their sleep. A number of things might
be proved by these statistics. OF these
sleep-talkers, one-half of the women and
one-third of the men are able to answer
question while asleep. More women than
men could answer questions on any sub
ject, not alone that of which they had been
talking. 1t has also been found that most
sleep-talkers are under twenty-five years
of age
Evidently, then, with the muscles and or
gans of the body all working, it is the brain

Odd Wedding Customs.

Giving wedding presents is an old CUSTOM
but it differs in various countries. Scot
lands penny weddings were peculiar. They
were called penny affairs, but the invited
guests contributed a shilling and OCCASION
ally half crown, and out of this sum thus
collected the expenses of the wedding feast
were paid Germany has pay wedding at
which the bride receives her guests with a
basin before her, In which each person en-
tering deposits Jewel, silver spoon or a
the rule is that the expenses of the mar
rage feast shall be met by each guest paw
ing for what he eats or drinks. The prices
paid for viands and drinks are high. and
the young couple often make a Handsome
profit out of their wedding, often realizing
a sum quite sufficient to start them nicely
In life Often as many as 800 guests are
ppe sent at such wedding.
