PHILIPPINES BENEFITED.
Improvements Of Public Usefulness
Introduced by the Amer
leans.

Not the least argument which shows
the help which the people of the United
States have rendered the Filipinos is the
vast amount Of interesting and useful
work done by the government labora-
tories in the Philippines, states the New
York Sun.
The demand for vaccine virus has
Deen very great since the American
occupation, for until the advent Of the
Americans ne systematic effort had ever
oeen made to vaccinate the people OF the
Islands, and smallpox was always pres
ent. A large numb Der OF calves were pur-
chased for the purpose of preparing the
virus. nearly everyone has been prop
erly yaccinated, and smallpox cases are
very rare
plague prophylactic has also been
supplied in sufficient quantities, and its
Intelligent employment has reduced the
plague cases to such degree that the
islands are now practically free from
this dread disease.
The struggle waged against rinder-
pest, which threatened all the draught
animals on the islands, was eminently
successful, AID there is now a herd of
70 animals kept for the express purpose
OF furnishing a serum with which to
lnoculate nOn-immune herds.
Oriental Goals are deficient in gas pro-
oucing qualities; importations from
Europe or America would be entirely too
expensive for the purpose-gaso1ine
even. was found to be unsatisfactory.
Nothing daunted, the chemists ex-
perimented successfully, and finally
adopted the plan of preparing gas from
cocoanut oil, native product. Strong
cast iron retorts are brought to a red
heat in furnaces and the cOcoanut oil
Is then slowly fed into them, thus pro-
ing gas, free from smoke and tar.
These examples will perhaps suffice
to show the important work already ac-
complished through these laboratories.
In general, 1t is interesting to know that
provision has been made for housing
the branches of chemistry, bacteriology,
pathology, botany and entomology, and
for preparing prophylactic and curative
serums.
1t may be mentioned that the bio
logical laboratory is investigating hu-
man diseases and has in preparation a
work on a method of protective inocula-
ton against Asiatic cholera and amoebic
dysentery. Fifteen bulletins have al
ready been published on medical, vet
Urinary and botanical subjects, some
OF which have excited wide attention.

SKILLFULNESS OF GUIDE.
Striking Instance Of the Keenness Of
Western Woodsmen in Lo-
eating Spots.

Mr.. Miller tells of an incident that oc-
Cured one afternoon while he and Mrs.
Miller were hunting, that illustrates the
wonderful instinct which the guides
have for finding their way over noun
tain and through forest, relates the Salt
Lake Herald.
A pause was made early in the after
noon on the particular occasion referred
to, In order that the guide might scour
the surrounding country for game with
Mr.. Miller's fine binocular. A herd OF
elk was finally discovered several miles
of, and the three turned their horses ir
that direction and proceeded to go after
the game.
About six o'clock when the party
started to return to camp, the guide dis
covered that the field glass which he had
been carrying was missing. AS the last
time it had been used was when a stop
had been made several hours before Mr..
Miller mentally bade good-by to it. The
guide had been leaning against tree
while using the glass, a tree that differed
in no wise from thousands of others
that covered the mountains. There was
no Travelled road to follow to regain the
valued binocular, no particular atten-
ton had been paid to the locality, and
yet when some distance from camp the
guide Informed Mr.. Miller that he
though by switching off the road he
might be able to find the spot. This was
done and a few minutes later the guide
was sure he could see the tree. ride
to this spot was rewarded, the glass be-
ing found where it had been left on the
ground after being removed from its
case.

CRYSTALS THAT MELTED.
Tlipiros Thought Pieces Of Ice Were
Jewels and So They Carefully
Pocketed Them

A traveller tells of joke played by
some American soldiers on the retinue
of one Of the native rulers in the Phil
ippines, relates Cassell's Journal
To some of his attendants they gave
pieces Of ice, which the natives, conceiv-
ing them to be gems or crystals of great
value, wrapped up in pieces of silk, and
slowed in their pockets.
The sensation Of delicious GOODNESS i'm
parted by their treasure was source OF
wonderment to them, but this was as
nothing compared to the establishment
with which they discovered shortly
afterwards that the bright crystals had
vanished, leaving only wet stain
In their eyes the matter savored of
witchcraft, and one of them begged for
a piece which would not vanish away,
as he wanted to have it set in ring!
