CONTEMPLATING IN THE PHIL,
PINES.

Those who are interested In Philip
pine currency legislation have not yet
recovered from the surprise following
the adoption of the Jones amendment
TO the Cooper bill, extending the full
coinage laws of the United States to
the archipelago and making all mon
eys of this country legal tender in the
islands. Chairman Cooper was en-.
tirely unprepared for the motion, but
it was adopted before he could make
the House understand the effect of
such legislation. Those who have
given attention to the subject declare
that If the bill goes through in its
present shape it will cause no end OF
trouble, and will lead to the thorough
undermining of the currency system
of the Philippines with counterfeit
coins.
"The Chinese are the best counter
! feiters in the world" said one OF
these men today land # they are
given the opportunity will flood the
. Philippines with spurious coins. They
will have such an opportunity II the
Jones amendment goes through.
They can manufacture counterfeit
United States dollars in Hong Kong,
Shanghai or some other place where
the laws do not prevent it, and ship
their stuff TO Manila or other ports in
the Philippines and dispose of 1t at
their leisure. Silver is so cheap that
they can afford to put the full amount
of this metal into coins and still make
tremendous profits. The silver in an
American dollar is now worth less
than 40 cents, so that there will be a
profit of about so cents on the dollar,
even if the regulation quantity of sill
yer is used. "-Brook1yn Eagle.

UNCLE SAM: SHOEMAKER.

The expectation of American shoes
is OF comparatively recent growth. In
1895 this country exported only ST.
100000 worth of boots and shoes, but
for the fiscal year 1901 it sent abroad
$5,50O,000 worth of boots and shoes
and England and her colonies took
$4.400 900 worth of this total.
This, according to The Overland, is
the history of the manufacture of
shoes in America.
From the one shoemaker, Thomas
Beard, who came over on the May
flower on her third voyage in 1929,
with his DIVERS hydes for both soles
and up feathers" this country has
risen to be the greatest shoemaking
nation in the world. 1t has now 1000
shoe factories, in which are employed
142,992 men, women and children
These employees received in wages $50.

the average was three pairs of shoes

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ELEC
TRIO ROAD.

A single rail electric railway is to be
constructed on the Behr system be-
tween Manchester and Liverpool and
it is to be in operation in 1906. Its
length is 551a kilometers (about 341a
miles) of double track and the maxi
ity of the stations) are to be only
per cent. The running time is to be
20 minutes and the speed, therefore,
about 1887 miles per hour. The
Roadway between trains is to be l0
minutes. The rails are really five in
number-one traction rail and -four
guiding rails-arranged in the shape
of an A on a series of metallic sup
ports which themselves rest on trans
verse beams The principal rail is TO
weigh 81 kilograms per running
meter, the others Is kilos. There are
to be cars of three sizes, containing
70, so and SO passengers respectively,
the mailer cars weighing 80 tons. The
power station is to be near the mid
die point of the line, it's tri-phase cur
rent will be transmitted at a pressure
of $4,000 volts and transformed to $50
volts at five sub-stations. I've lnsu-
lated rails will lead the current to the
cars which will take it through eight
circular brushes, each about 90 inches
in diameter. Each car has four
wheels, two beng motors, and for the
smallest size of carriage they will de-
velop 100 horsepower. The motor
wheels are to be about "A inches in

MAKE THEIR OWN GARDENS.
Ants Form Fungus in Which Their
Winters Food Is Grown.

The habits of the ant are an inter.
esting study to naturalists at all
times. The ingenuity they display
in many things almost passes compre.
hension and places them upon the
plane of insect intelligence. Recent
study of these little creatures has
added another TO the many facts that
show the intelligence these insects
possess. This latest discovery is that
some species actually plant and raise
their own crops.
The big leaf-cutting ant of the trop-
les is the most proficient species in
the agricultural line. These ants
visit plants and cut little fragments
out of the leaves. Sometimes they
will ruin whole plantation over
night, leaving the plants ragged frag.
ments of their foliage.
Until recently it was supposed that
the leaf-cutters ate the pieces of leaf.
But now it is known that they carry
the fragments to their mounds, where
they chew them over and over, moist
ening them at the same time with
acid secretions, until they have made
soft spongy mass. This is knead-
ed and worked over and over again
until it is a big heap full of small
holes.
In this spongy mass the ants depos-
it the spores of certain fungus
which forms the greater part of their
food supply. Different species of
ants have different species of fungus.
The most highly developed of them
all is grown by Brazilian ant 1t is
