Metal Hes.
From the Engineering News.


Metal cross-ties ON bridges on the line of
railway from Ismid to Angora, in Asia
Minor, are now being replaced by oak ties
The all metal construction proved so rigid
that the pounding of the traffic affected the
connections of the bridge members. The
metal ties. of an inverted V-shape, were
riveted directly to short bearing plates,
which in turn were riveted to the tops of
the stringers; on curves the bearing
plate under the outer end of the tie
heightened to form riveted chair
giving the proper amount of superelevation
After some ten years of service many Of
the ties have partially failed where the rail
rests upon them. The substitution of
wooden ties gives an easy-rding track and
is expected to greatly reduce the annual
repair cost. 1t may be noted that the ma
tives in that region have gradually learned
to respect the railway that stealing Of
the wooden ties wood is very scarce In this
region) Is much smaller source Of loss
than 1t would have been during the first
years OF the railway.

EDUCATION OF FILIPINOS.
Demand of the Natives That English
Be Taught in the Schools.

osShn H. Lang In the
Frederick w. Nash writes from Manila to
the Educational Review that such Is the de-
mand for English among the Filipinos that
while two years ago there were less than
two hundred native teachers who could
give instruction in the language. there are
at present more than two thousand actual
ly engaged in teaching English and prac-
tcing methods and ideas learned Of Ameri-
can teachers in the American-taught nor
NAL schools. And Mr.. Atkinson, who was
the first commissioner Of public education
in the archipelago. and who has just re-
turned to this country and accepted the
superintendency of the schools of Newton,
Mass, says that English was introduced
into the schools because the Fflipinos want
ed It," 1t Is largely because Of the demand
for English that there are nearly a quarter
of million pupils enrolled in the some
thing like two thousand day and evening
schools.
With facts as eloquent as these at hand
the government need not worry about the
attacks leveled at it by theorizing oppo-
nents even If there should be among them
professor Of Clark University. l refer to
Dr. A. +. Chamberlain, who writes in the
Filipinos without using to the full their
language and their literature, the thou
sandfold stimuli Of their environment their
racial temperament and ideals, their past
history ana natural amDltlOnS for the fu-
ture. Is to stunt them in body, mind and
soul" DR.. Chamberlain believes that "tn
education. as in everything else connected
with the new colonialsm. we began wrong"
I'VE can change II we WILL" he suggests,
but 1t must be complete change and an
honest admission of error" He would have
us adopt the notion that the right ideal is
to educate the Fiifpinos as Filipinos and
not Americans. 1"Let ten million Malays
us such,' he prophesies, I"develop along the
lines of their native genius and some day
they will become strong, as their kinsmen
the Japanese have done"
The logic Of this argument would make us
abandon altogether the fundamental ideas
of our present common school system The
Italians, Russian Jews, Chinese and repre-
sentatives of other nations and races who
like to gather by themselves in city quar-
ters would have to be left to develop by
cultivation Of their own peculiarities as
best they may Turks, Bulgarians and AL
banians may do as they please. Dishar-
mony lends weirdness to the Eurasian con-
cert. At any rate, 1t is pleasing to DR..
Chamberlain and his sympathizers Theories
and facts are often out of tune in educa-
ton. We others who prefer to be per-
suaded by actual results rather than pro-
fessional anxieties will meanwhile take
courage in the progress made in Philippine
education along the lines Of American ciyi-
liZation.

WIND TOO HIGH FOR TEST.
Aeronauts at Whitewater Waiting fo1
Favorable Weather.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
Underwater. Va. July 20.-The tug D.
NJ. Key. with the Smithsonian flying ma
chine experts aboard. reached the Langley
house boat from Quantieo Island early this
morning. Operations OF a light nature on
the superstructure were resumed. These
included test of the Instrument designated
to record the direction and velocity Of tho
wind. to-.
In the heavy blow this morning from the
southeast the revolving portions Of the ap-
paratus were whirling around with great
rapidity. If this morning had been deter
mined upon for an experiment 1t would
nave been postponed owing to the wind 3
force.
A test will not take place until the
weather IS comparatively calm. River men
predict continuance of the stiff breeze
the remainder of the day. 1t is fortunate
that the ark was provided yesterday with
two more large anchors. Though the club
house at Quantico Island Is headquarters

land shore. In fact. the Key Is constantly
on the move in the service of the scientists.
Break in the Monotony.
The monotonous inactivity which has
been observed on board the Langley boat
house for the past few days was somewhat
broken yesterday afternoon. Three or four
workmen were sent up on the superstruc-
ture. where they were busy for an hour or
SO with work on the launching apparatus.
An instrument which Is supposed to regis
ter the exact direction and velocity Of the
wind was placed in position on the railing
near the launching passage.
ne Workmen on top had just completed
their assignment when the big government
tug Tecumseh appeared steaming rapidly
from up the river. She steamed around to
the south side Of the boat house, to which
she finally made fast. Meanwhile press
boats hurried out from the Virginia shore.
the arrival of the tug having been observed
by the correspondents at Whitewater. The
mission of the Tecumseh was soon appar-
ent She had come to bring two heavy an
chors and a great length Of iron cables
to attach them. AS soon as she was made
fast the crews Of both crafts got to work
transferring the cables and anchors. This
operation required about half an hour.
Immediately after the Tecumseh had dis
charged her cargo she pulled out and re-
turned to Washington.
Will Replace Lost Anchors.
The anchors were brought to replace the
ones which were lost when the boat house
was driven from her moorings and pushed
up stream before a gale Saturday a week
ago. Since that time she has been held
by two cables off of one end and the supply
was insufficient. To some extent she was q
prey to wind and tide. Whenever these
forces were strong the ark would swing
around in response to the pressure. At
times her swaying back and forth was suf-
ficient to disturb operations. But the con-
Sideratton of most importance was that of
keeping the scientific treasure within secure
from the danger OF being driven across to
either shore. With her four substantial
cables and anchors she is now thought to
be well equipped for withstanding any
seas and winds likely to be encountered at
this season of the year.
