PHILIPPINES AT
WORLDS FAIR
Complete Exhibition of Island People and
Industries Covers Forty-seyen Acres
and Is Independent of Larger Show.

Not ever In the heart of Manila city
could there be found forty-seven acres
of Philippine territory as interesting as
that amount of space covered by the
islands display at the Worlds Fair.
Here is an exposition within an ex-
position, a little wheel that evolves
Independently of the larger n encom-
passing 1t.
Scores of buildings are filled with ex-
hibits, native life is depicted by as
many different villages as there are
tribes on the islands. military drills are
given by Philippine troops, and con-
certs are rendered by native bands.
For its amusement features the Philip

rote, who dimes on dog meat, and
visitors are entertained by Visayan
actors and actresses. Nothing is lack
ing to make the show complete.
The Administration building is a rep
lica of the government offices in Ma
Mia, while the Art and Education
building %reproduces in miniature the
cathedral within the walled city, even
the mellowed tints of age being faith
fully rendered. A section of the an
Gent but still serviceable town wall
has been reconstructed to serve the dou-
BILE purpose of a gateway to the show
and a museum of arms and war relics.
The other main edifices are types of
Filipino homes, being built of undress-
ed timber, bamboo and rattan. with
matched roofs and broad verandas.
Then there are the tribal villages
nesting under the trees. some of the
houses perched high up among the
boughs. others on piles above the wa
tiers of the Arrowhead lake, all of them
actual dwellings fashioned of native
materials by native workmanship and
illustrating the manners. customs and
pursuits of their occupants. Here are
women weaving a coarse cloth on a
rude hand loom, others making bas-
kets. others tending irrigated fields Of
rice. One group of men are in village
council, trying an offender according
to their tribal laws; others are slowly
moving in a circular dance to the thump
of tomtoms and the clang of brass
gongs; others. again. are smelling iron
by the aid of a primitive but most in
g~enious bellows, the constituent parts
of which are a bamboo tube and an air
tight mop of feathers working therein
like the piston of Il syringe. And these
are but a few of an almost endless va
riety of life pictures.
The chronological problem is a some
what complicated one; but. although
there are no fewer than sixteen races
represented among the village jewellers,
the scouts and the ~constabulary. each
race speaking its own dialect and fol-
lowing its own customs, all may be
roughly classified into four groups
the true aboriginals or non-Malays, the
pagan Malays. the Christian Malays
and the Mohammedan Malays.
The first are the dwarf Negritos, with
dark skins and woolly heads, wearers
of scanty raiment, proficient in the use
of the bow and poisoned arrow, a race
of nomads and forest jewellers, pagans
pure and simple. They live in their
W ~stockaded village.
Next to them are the Igorrotes,
whose origin is traced back to the first
wave of Malay invasion. Here. again,
we have scanty clothing. amounting
almost to nudity, but copper colored
skins, long wavy t~resses, pleasant fea-
tured faces and fine physiques. even
though the stature be small. Among
these pagan Malays are the head hunt
ers and the dog eaters. They are saw

world over. The day before his depar-
ture from home for the theater of war
General Nogi received the news that
his second son had fallen in this now
historic engagement. No sign of grief
was manifested by the stoical warrior
on learning of the death of his son.
Before he put his foot on the deck of
the departing ship he gave a positive
order that no mourning ceremony should
be held by the family before he him
self and his other son, who is also in
the field, had fallen.
General Nogi is considered n of
the best strategists in the Japanese
army. Tel years ago he was i'll ON
mand of a division before Port Arthur
during the ChinO-Japan war, just as he
is now in the wal with Russia. lie

a Chinese general who was seeking to

years ago he was made a taiShO-that
Is, full general. The Fourth army, of
which he is in command, is really a
portion of the large force landed on
the Liautong peninsula for General
Oku. The latter was directed to CO.
operate with Kuroki and Nodzu against
K%uropatkin. and between 10000 and
$4,000 men were detached from his
force and formed into the Fourth army.
Senator Albert J. Beveridge Of Indi-
ana probably knows more about Russia
than any other lawmaker in America.
He has spent considerable time in the
land of the czar and is the author of a
very successful book, "The Russian
Advance" Senator Beveridge was a
logger in early youth and at sixteen
was boss of a logging camp. 1t is said
that to this day he is an expert logger.
