the service corporations were taxed
here much higher than in either

The Christian Malays. produced by
the second wave of invasion. are rep

pretty homes. skilled in weaving. dye

carving and other handicrafts. musi-
clans of no mean merit. he one group
of natives who came early and tho

Spanish settlers.
Very different are the Moros. WHO
swept into the islands from the Malay
neninsula last of all. bringing with
them their Mohammedan religion. also
a knowledge of g%unpowder acquired
with the Koran from the Arabs-fana-
tics like their teachers. pirates. blood
thirsty. treacherous and vindictive fei-
lows, ever Ct war among themselves
and with the whole outside work. De-
spite their ferocity they are a clever
race, dress handsomely, have their sui
tans and their slaves n are expert
while long continued pillage
on the high seas has surrounded them
with many of the luxuries and conven-
fences of western civilization.
The buildings of Agriculture. Forest
ry and Fisheries show all the varied
natural products. also the extremely
primitive processes as yet in vogue.
while in the Women's building we are
introduced to a NUMBER of native a
ufactures, including the beautiful fab
RIGS from the just, banana and pine
apple fibers. This information Is collat-
ed in the Building of Commerce, where
a unique and most effective method of
exhibiting is followed. In n hall are
samples Of all the articles produced for
export, among which manila fiber, of
course, holds the chief place of prom
inence, while in a second hall are all
the manufactures from every country
that are imported and find a ready
market among the populace. Thus the
business nan gets a dual lesson. He
sees what he can profitably take from
the islands. and also what he may
profitably send to them. When it is
added that a large number of represent
alive Filipinos have been brought over
to visit the Exposition and study Amer
can business methods and manufac-
lures, it will be recognized that great
benefit both to the islands and to the
world at large must result from this
work of mutual enlightenment.
