WRITES ON PHILIPPINES
Prof. jerks Makes Many suggestions
Looking TO Furtherance of
InsuIar Interests.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The report
made by Prof. jeremiah jerks of Cornell
on his observations in the English and
Dutch possessions in the Orient was made
public today.
He finds. Notwithstanding considerable
progress has been made during the recent
decade. in no country visited has much
been lone looking to the establishment
Of self government. Nowhere have the de-
tendencies of England, Holland or France
in the Orient so great a measure of self
government as the United States has al
ready given to the Filipinos.
With respect to a currency system for
the Philippines, he inclines to a fixed rate
Of exchange with gold between the islands
and the United States. This Is In accord
with the suggestion OF the Philippine COM
mission. The special reasons given are
that If silver continues to depreclate those
who gain from its depreciation will be the
exporting houses, chiefly English. and Ger
nan while the native Filipinus will be
the losers. He believes, however, that the
use of silver should be encouraged.
A recommendation is made that employ
ers be permitted to introduce Chinese into
the Philippines under contract for a period
OF not over three years.
Following the almost universal custom
Of Oriental countries. it is suggested that
1t would be best for the government to re-
tain the title and to lease lands for some
what longer periods, thirty years or so, al
a fixed rental. In order to encourage the
investment of capital in agriculture 1t IL
suggested that especially favorable term,
should be made to lare investors. Loans
to small landholders, particularly for the
purchase Of cattle and agricultural tools
are also recommended.

The Ants "Gee-Gee."

Charles Nielsen, a French explorer,
in travelling through Siam observed q
species of small gray ants which were
new to him. These ants were much en-
gagged in travelling. They lived in damp
places and went in troops. To his sur
prise, he noticed among them, from time
to time, an occasional ant which was
much larger than the others, and moved
at a much swifter pace, and each of
these larger ants, NJ. Nielsen saw, al
ways carried one of the gray ants on
it's back. While the main body of gray
ants were always on foot, they were
accompanied by at least one of their own
sort mounted on one of these larger ants.
1t mounted and detached itself now
and then from the line, rode rapidly to
the head, came swiftly back to the rear;
and seemed to be the commander of the
expedition. The explorer was satisfied
that this species of ant employs larger
ant-possibly drone of the same spe-
cies-just as we employ horses to ride
upon, though scarcely more than one ant
in each colony seems to be provided with
a mount.--Kobe (Japan) Herald.

TWO LOCOMOTIVES,
Contrast Presented by Comparison Of
Oldest and Newest Types.

Il strange contrast is offered by the
oldest and the newest locomotive in the
world. The former, built by Stephenson
i'll 1922, is now, after eighty years con-
tinuous service, still working, hauling
cipal dimensions Of this "old timer" are:
Diameter Of the cylinders, 1OA inches;
piston stroke, "a inches; diameter of the
wheels, 3 feet. The weight of the engine
is fifteen tons, and it has a hauling capa-
city of about 129 tons at speed of ten
miles an hour on q fairly level track.
Its general design Excepting the cab
some parts, notably the steam dome, are
actually portions of the engine as con-
structed in 1922.
After this long and faithful service it
is not surprising to learn that the engine
is at last becoming unequal to the ever
increasing demands made upon it, and

working on "the first public railway"
until 1850, when it passed into the hands
of Messrs. Pease and Partners, by whom
it was used for colliery purposes until
1857, at which time it was placed on
pedestal for exhibition at Darlington
station, where it is to be seen today.
The newest locomotive is the New
York Central Com Csogmpany's new tandem
compound, No. 2399, built recently at the
Schenectady Locomotive works. A few
days ago it took a train of 1OS loaded
cars from Dewitt to Albany in eleven
hours. The 1OS cars were loaded with
$500 tons of freight.
This is the greatest tonnage ever
moved by single locomotive on any
railroad in the world. Some idea of the
size of the load can be gathered when
it is realized that 100000 pounds Of
freight were moved. The engine was in
charge of Philip Eberhardt Of Albany.
Later the same locomotive drew 100 cars
over the division. In the 100 cars there
We're 1900 tons.
The hauling capacity of the locomotive
is enormous. It drew fifty loaded cars
up the Schenectady hill without assist
ance, an unheard of feat among Central
enginemen. The increased power of the
monster is gained by the use of steam

WHY COAL IS WASHED.
The Impurities that Spoil the Heating
Qualities.

The purpose of washing coal is to free
it as nearly as practicable of all matter
that reduces it's heating capacity or has
a detrimental effect upon the metal pro-
duced with such coal or with coke made
from such coal. :.
The impurities in coal are of two kinds,
such as are chemically passive, but
which do not produce heat. but, on the
contrary, absorb heat and clog the open
lngS in the crates by forming ashes and
handled, shipped and freight paid, for.
them, and are burden all around.
The other kinds Of impurities are chief
~ iron pyrites, an ore composed of iron
and sulphur, containing as much as 81
per cent: of the latter element There
occurs also frequently some phosphorus,
which remains in the ashes. The sui
phur and phosphorus are both injurious
to the quality Of iron produced in a blast
furnace, and for this reason it is very
important that coal or coke for blast
furnace use shall be as free from those
two elements as possible. The phos-
phorus occurs in the ash producing mat
ter, and remains there unless it is given
an opportunity to chemically. combine
with iron, lime or other matter for which
it has an affinity. '' -
The value of furnace coke is based.
apart from general chemical reasons, up,
on Its degree OF purity from ashes, sui
phur and phosphorus. %'
The effect of sulphur and phosphorus
is to make iron brittle. Iron containing
these elements in excess of certain: limits
is unfit for all purposes in which strength
is an important requirement. -. -. ;,
There is economy in purifying inferior
coal even for ordinary heating purposes,
for not only is ashes an impeachment to
the rational nse Of fuel, but the sulphur
of the pyrites emits fumes which eagerly
combine with what moisture there is in
the coal and form sulphurus acid, which
exerts destructive influence upon all
iron, as boiler shells, tubes, breechings
and slack, that it touches. ,t,t,s4nEb =
