in the inclosed special report have been
made the subject of special investiga-
tons; in some instances these have
been conducted by courts-martial and
their findings and sentences have been
duly promulgated in orders; in others
the inquiries have been Entrusted to in
spectors, or to officers designated for
that purpose by the comma nding gen.
eral in the Philippines. Where admin
istrative action has been called for,
as a result of such investigations. it
has, been taken by the proper military
commander, if the parties continued
within bis Jurisdiction; in other cases
the matter has been submitted to the
department with view to a,resort to
such punitive remedial orders as were
deemed appropriate and these repre-
sensations have resulted in a number
Of court-martial trials. AS to some
phases of these inquiries the investiga-
lions are not vet complete and refer
ence of the papers to the Philippine
islands or officers who are now serving
in the United States has been neces-
fary. Whether the necessity for any
further administrative action, in adj
dition to that already taken, will be
disclosed as result of such investiga-
ton can only be determined when in
spection reports are received at the
department"
Gen. Davis explains that the in
quiries are especially difficult because
the incidents complained of were not
made known at the time and officers
and soldiers of the volunteer army
have been named to be discharged,
The Rice Supplies.
He discusses at some length the dis
tributon of rice in the provinces Of
Batangas and Cavite, which is mat
ter that has been considered in the de-
partment. It is explained that in or
der to restore civil order and to pro-
vision the people in the concentration
camps it was determined by Gen. Bell
with the approval of the commanding
general that purchases of rice should
be made by the subsistence depart
ment. the latter to be reimbursed by
the military government. Upon this
point Gen. Davis says:
1.-THE measures resorted to were die
tated by military necessity; they were
undertaken with the approval of the
local military commander and were
calculated to meet an emergency of
impending famine in such way as to
relieve actual distress without Pauper-
izing the native population and with
out casting the burden of their sup
port upon the insular treasury when
public order had beeH restored and the
provinces relegated to civil control.
AS the distress increased after the
military occupat ton had terminated
and the demand for relief continued
without substantial abatement the
balance of profits accruing from the
sales of rice by the military govern
ment was transferred to the insular
treasury and applied by the civil gov
eminent to the relief of the widespread
distress occasioned by the prevalence
of cholera and famine in the provinces
of Southern and southeastern Luzon."

than the finest Bessemer steel.
While the hard and soft ore mines
of st. Louis county have been turn
ing out millions of tons annually for
years, farther north there are gigan-
tic beds of iron, which, because of
the presence Of titanium, making it
refractory, have received but little
attention, though their existence is
generally known. 1t has been com
monty believed that sooner or later
it would be necessary to use this ore,
because of the rapid dwindling of the
supply of the hard ore. which is nee
essary to bring the soft ore up to
Bessemer grade. and that before
that time somebody would discover
process by which this apparently
valueless ore could be used.

Cold Weather In Canada.

the late General Sir Gerald Graham
Of the British army, relates re-
markable instance Of the extreme
cold of the Georgian bay district of
Canada, where in winter the Their
mometer frequently falls to 80 or
40 degrees below zero. Mr.. Max
well Graham, who owns the Lyn-
dock stock farms, arose early one
morning last January to investigate
a noise he had heard in the kitchen.
To his surprise, he saw the family
cat standing stock still in the very
attitude of springing upon a mouse,
which faced the cat with a Mortified
expression. Both animals we're fro

was extended and the mouse's mouth
slightly opened, as though it had ut

Successful Resuseitation.

There are still undeveloped posi-
bilities in electricity. A man in an
apparently moribund condition was
recently taken into the Melbourne
hospital, and in order to revive him
an electric shock was administered.
The results were startling and unex-
pected. A demoniac energy was in
simultaneously infused. He sent the
doctor sprawling on the floor and
flung a couple Of assistants out of
the window. Then he proceeded to
wreck the ward, while nurses ran
away shrieking and barricaded them
selves. He had done a hundred
pounds worth of damage before the
police, who were telephoned for, ar
rived. Electricity as medical agent
seems to be as yet imperfectly I'M

especially adapt them for scouting

to form scouting brigade, consisting

the geological survey, who is in charge
OF the Milk river irrigation project in
Montana, will leave Washington early
next wee for North Dakota, where
he will look over the ground with a
view to future irrigation in that state.
Nothing has been done there as yet

then go to his work in Montana.
Mr.. Babb says the construction on
the Milk river project may begin this

for this tremendous scheme have been
going on during the last two seasons,
