Cholera increasing In Manila.


Manila, Nov. 1.-THE number of
cholera cases is increasing in this
city and the spread of the disease is
causing some alarm. There are On
an average 80 cases daily. The
Donst Reserve hospital, the casual
camp at Santa Mesa and Bilibid
prison are now included among the
places infected. The disease is
spreading in the Marquina valley,
where the danIbr of an infection of
the water supply is regarded as
grave. Should the water supply be,
come infected a general epidemic is
considered inevitable. The cholera
reports from the provinces show a de,
crease in the number of cases.

MAN is NOT MONARCH.
His Senses Are Less Acute Than Are
Those Of Animals.

Mans vaunted faculties are far less
acute than some of the lesser crea-
lures.
The human eye Is a wonderful piece
Of mechanism, with it's little bundle Of
nerves that In some mysterious way
make INSTALLATION possible. Yet this
eye. with all its. delicacy Of discern
ment. is but circumscribed organ as
compared with the eye Of the eagle,
which sees infinitely farther than can
any human eye. The same Is true OF
the human ear. The rats and the mice
that haunt our houses, the squirrels
that caper about the woods and the
numberless other little animals all
hear better than we do. They may not
trace refinement in sound as accurate
~ as can man, but for catching sound
at long range theirs are the ears most
perfectly constructed.
The sense of touch is more accurate
~ developed elsewhere in the animal
kingdom than in man. No man made
device for measuring water pressure
equals that of the fish, whose sides all
strung with nerves register the water
pressure correctly every time and In
form his fishship Just how much he
can stand and when to move up or
down.
A dogs sense of smell is always re-
spected by man, who frequently, as In
the case of hunter, relies on it to sup
plement the findings of his own less
active olfactory nerve.
When it comes to the human voice,
there are birds with whose music
mans music cannot be compared. Not
Patti herself ever sang more sweetly

THE COST OF LIVING.
Average Advance Of Nearly 40 Per
Cent In Prices Since 1897.

Cent In Prices Since 1897.
In an address lately delivered before
the railroad branch of the Young Mems
Christian association in New York Mr.
Andrew Carnegie said great many
practical and sensible things which
doubtless gave his hearers much pleas
ure. He also said some things which
have set them thinking and which have
given rise to much discussion, says the
New York Times. For example: ut is
one of the most cheering facts Of our
day that under present conditions the
wages Of labor tend to rise and the
prices of the necessities of life tend to
fall" Whether this is true or not is a
question of interest to every one who
lives by the fruits of his labor in what
ever form he is compensated.
AS Mr.. Carnegie said it and probably
meant it his statement is quite true. 1t
is a broad generalization. without
dates. The periods Of the comparison
may be assumed as ten, fifty or hum
bred years apart. Read literally and
giving the terms "our day" and ''pres-
ent conditions the meaning which
usually attaches to them, the state
ment is not true. Figures very careful
ly compiled for Dun's Review show
that during 1901 the cost Of living in
this country increased with remarka-
bic rapidity. that such increase has
been going on since July, 1897, when
the lowest level Of prices in some four
teen years was reached. and that the
net average increase in the cost Of liv-
ing is greater than any advance claim
ed in average wages during this period.
Comparing prices of the necessaries OF
life on Jan. l, 1902. and July l, 1897, 1t
is found that the average advance Is
nearly 40 per cent. That the average
wage has increased 40 per cent during
this period is scarcely probable.
