The Philippine Exhibit.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 24.-Thirty-one ma
tive Filipinos have arrived in ST. Louis
to help in the erection of the Philippine
exhibit buildings, and began work to-
day on the Quartet de F'ilipinos" at
the worlds fair. The Quartet de Fill
pinos'' is to be $50 feet square, with a
court in the center ninety feet square,
1t is to be two stories high, with the
second story overhanging as in Manila
dwelling houses. 1t is to be rooted with
nipa, a native plant, of which a large
supply has been imported. This build
ing is to contain quarters for the Fill
Pine builders, offices for the Philippine
commissioners, architects and drafts
men.
The contract for the Washington
state building was awarded today. The
building will cost about $50, 0OO Work
will be begun as soon as the native
timbers and other material arrive from
Washington.

ARTILLERY TRAINING.

General Macarthur commanding the
department of California, in his annual
report, says the Importance of an ar
tiilery reserve for the Pacific coast cam
not be overestimated, and he recon-
mends that the entire organized mill
tia of all arms located within easy dis
lance of San Francisco be invited to
participate in a course Of coast artillery
training at the Preside.
The foregoing is from a late Wash
ington dispatch. Hawaii is within
easy distance of San Francisco" if the
War Department choose to make it so,
for the purpose mentioned by General
Macarthur, by making the calling
transport service available for carry
ing a contingent of the Hawaiian Ma
tionai Guard to the rendezvous. Per-
haps two birds may be killed with one
stone through making the visit of a
Hawaiian company to the st. Louis Ex-
position fit in with artillery instruction
of the same company at the Preside.
Coast guarding with artillery was early
adopted by the National military au-
thorities as the appropriate garrison
service at Honolulu. This fact should
suggest that a portion of the infantry
strength of the Hawaiian militia might
be transformed into the artillery
branch. Besides giving variety, it
would add to the effectiveness, in case
of necessity, of the Territory's citizen
soldiery.

AT meeting held in Washington the
last week in September, the general
executive board of the knights of La
Dor said things in resolutions adopted.
INCREASING it's belief that President
Roosevelt was lone of the best friends
organized labor ever had in the White
House, the board resolved. with re-
gard to a reported movement of GER
tain labor organizations and their lead
ers to have organized labor take I'D the
fight of the enemies of the President,
because of his action in the Washing
ton Printing Office dispute, THAT such
action as is contemplated against Pres
ident Roosevelt is one of the many err
rors and mistakes made by organized
labor, as they seem inclined to ignore
the rights of others, create strikes and
make demands that are unreasonable,
relying not on the justice of their con-
tention or claims, but the amount of
loss or trouble they can cause others,
and to see what they can secure by
depending on politicians and not OH the
justice of their demands Thus ad-
vanced and intelligent labor walks the
opposite way to that shown in the
walking delegates marching manual.

NEW BUILDING MATERIAL.

In view of probable building activity
consequent upon the opening up of new
suburban tracts by the electric cars. the
following description of improved con-
crete structural material ought tc
have interest for both contractors and
owners of house lots. 1t is from a
late Eastern exchange:
Partly in consequence of the grow
ing cheapness of cement, partly as a
result of the increasing confidence OF
engineers in its qualities and partly be-
cause the cement is sometimes rein
forced with a network of steel embed
led therein. there has been a remark
lble increase in the use of concrete for
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-10-12

building purposes in the last few years.
Hitherto, though, this material has
been employed in solid masses, whereas
it is now proposed to mould it into hol-
low blocks, thus securing greater light
ness, as well as other advantages.
! According to Casters Magazine
houses constructed with such hollow
blocks are in measure highly develop
ed examples of the remarkably durable
adobe houses of Mexico and the South
west Of the United States, which,
though built simply of large sun dried
blocks of clay, appear as though hewn
out of one solid mass, and have been
found to successfully resist both great
heat and heavy tropical rains. Walls
built of hollow concrete blocks, with
their inclosed air spaces, tend to keep
houses warm in winter and cool in
summer, and the only problem of salts
factorily. building them has been that
of cost.
This, however, we are told, has now
been solved by machine which turns
them out quickly and cheaply, and in
all desired sizes. The moulds are made
with removable sides, and after the
block of concrete has been formed,
these sides are swung out of the way
and the block can be lifted out and left
to thoroughly set. Grooves and tongues
can easily be formed in the blocks. en-
abling them to be rigidly tied together
in building up wall, and openings
can also be provided in them to re-
ceive the ends of floor beams, the joints
being subsequently filed with cement,
if desired, to insure greater security.
Many houses have of late been built
with such blocks, and their popularity
seems to be on the increase. In an
pearance such concrete block walls re-
semble masonry-in fact, the blocks can
be fashioned after almost any desired
pattern.

Andrew S. Wallace, postmaster al
Opp, Alabama, jumped to the conclu-
sion that the big postoffice fellows al
Washington were as corrupt as the
worst reports implied. Therefore
deeming it opportune to try for a bet
ter place than Opp, he wrote to Post
master General Payne asking for trans
ference to the postmastership of Anda-
lusia. He stated that, to compensate
the Postmaster General for his trou-
BILE, he would pay him fifty dollars as
soon as the order for the transfer was
issued. Wallace obtained a transfer,
but it was in the form of warrant of
arrest. The P. M. G. had forwarded his
letter to the chief inspector of the
Southern Division at Chattanooga, who
caused his removal from the Opp office
and his committal to the United States
Court at Birmingham. This recent
story has several morals.

Transportation Cheap.

Do you know that you can have 2.667
pounds Of freight transported one mile
for l cent? The statement sounds like
a bit Of fiction, but 1t is as true as fig
ures that don't lie can make any
statement. AS we have more railways
and more freight and the ingenuity Of
inventors and wisdom of fnanclers are
working together the cost of trans
portatiOn is being gradually and no
less surely decreased.
A dozen years ago the railways of
this country carried annually SO.OO0,-
100000 tons Of freight one mile and
charged nine~tenths Of cent per ton
for the service. In 19OO-for which we
have authentic figures-the increased
quantity Of goods and merchandise
has brought the figures up to 14O,9O0.-
100000 tons one mile and the charge
for that service down to seven and
One-half tenths Of cent for each ton.

DOES THE WHALE SLEEP :
A Problem That Has Not Yet Been
Decided by NaturRlists.

Decideds by NaturaIists.
It is a common belief among born
whalers and naturalists, says KnowE
edge, that when. whales Sound" they
Sescend TO enormous depths in the
ocean. DR.. W. Kuekenthal estimates,
for3instance, that the larger members
Of the group commonly dive to a depth
Of fully a thousand yards, although the
evidence on which this rests IS not
given. In a memoir recently published
| In Belgium DR.. RacovitZa challenges this
belief. and states that, in his opinion,
| q hundred yards is the maximum
depth to which any whale can dive ana
that many species cannot reach any
/ thing like that limit. He very peril
nentiy asks why should whales want
/ to 90 10 such depths. All whales sound
| for the purpose Of obtaining food, and
in the profound darkness of a thou
sand yards what food could they get?
Those species which feed on animal
cula might perhaps obtain what they
want
But how about the species which feed
on fishes and cuttles? At a depth Of
thousand yards they certainly could
not use their eyes to detect nonlumi-
nous species, and we have no evidence
whatever that they feed on the self
luminous deep sea fish and cuttles Of,
indeed. there be any of the latter. On
the contrary, the available evidence in
dicates that they feed on ordinary light
dwelling fishes and cuttles which live
in much shallower zones.
But this is not all. 1t Is known that
the effects Of a pressure Of more than
three atmospheres proves fatal to hu
man life, and, although we may be-
Iieve that whales can stand treble this
pressure, or nine atmos)heres, which
would occur at about ninety yards
depth, is 1t conceivable that they could
resist the effect.of ten times the latter
pressure, or ninety atmospheres? More
over, does It seem possible that whale
whose body is only slightly heavier
than water at ordinary pressure, could
exert the muscular force necessary to
propel that body to depth OF a thou
sand yards?
W uHAAlEI tic AuAluE AAda ~ nAAQlA a
case in his contention that whales new
or sleep demands further considera-
ton. One Of the arguments in favor
Of the constant wakefulness Of ceta-
ceans is that individuals will sollow a
ship for days, which they could not
well do while asleep. Another is that
whales-except occasionally a right
whale or a, sperm whale-are not found
floating motionless on the surface, and
reasons are given against the theory
that they sleep at the bottom. But, Il
may be urged, II whales never sleep |
they must have food at night and be
able to catch 1t, and what then, be- |
comes Of the argument that they can
not capture prey IN the dark ocean |
abysses? Moreover it is difficult to |
imagine that an animal with such |
highly organized brain as a whale can |
exist permanently without sleeping |
especially when we remember that |
fishes sleep
