PHILIPPINE HOMES.
Many Interesting Facts Disclosed by

The revised figures OF the Philip
pine Census Bureau have been given
out. and n population OF 7.635.i26 -
given to the archipelago. OF this num-
ber 6,9S7 .6S6 are civilized, or partly 50.
while 6i7,740 are wild and unciviliEed.
although not without some knowledge
of the domestic arts.
In regard to the public land Of tho
Philippine archipelago. the report
says:
Setting aside the intermediate
water space, amounting to 711.942
square miles, and considering the land
alone. the area Is estimated to be 49,
026 square miles. or 73,616.640 acres.
or this about 100000 are private
lands and over 61,0O0.000 public land.
OF the latter. 100000 or more are
forest lands, leaving about 2l, 900, 600
available for agriculture.
Much Of the land covered by for
ests is Of great richness. and IL
cleared would be capable of very
high degree of cultivation. This may
be said OF nearly all parts OF the Phil
ippines in which the soil is especially
adapted to tropical agriculture. pro-
ducing all kinds OF tropical fruits and
vegetables and many of those equal to-
the temperate zone.
Under existing laws a homestead
Of 1854 acres may be acquired by any
citizen Of the Philippine islands, while
corporation can acquire $3.50
acres. The grant or sale OF land ia
conditioned on actual and continued
occupancy, improvement and cultiva7
ton Of the premises for a period of not
less than five years, during which time
the purchaser or grantor cannot alien
ate or cucumber the land or the tile
thereto.
"The Philippine islands offer many
inducements to the immigrant, and
for the Investment of capital, in either,
large or small amounts. Although,
within the tropics. the climate is not!
detrimental to those who are in good
health when they arrive and who take
