War Taft, former governor Of the
Philippines, talking Informally before
the national geographical society about
the conditions In the archipelago. re-
piled to criticisms that have been made
by Englishmen Of the administration
and conditions existing in the islands.
The criticisms were to the .ffect that
ithe American government spent too
much money in education; alleged
there were too many public officers
there; referred to the lack Of good
roads, criticized the civil service. and
thought that the government was too
expensive and referred to the question
of Chinese immigration. The secretary
replied with vigor to the criticisms
made. declaring that in view Of the
peculiar conditions existing they were
not well founded. Secretary Taft
argued against the contention that It
was necessary TO admit Chinese to the
philippines in order to build up the
islands. There was. a deep feeling
against the Chinese. OF whom there
there now $4,000 in the Archipelago.

capable Of being trained effectively for
the development Of the islands. While
the islands may develop more slowly

Cleaning Commissioner John N.
Woodbury., Of New York, SAYS
American Medicine.
Not satisfied with the old and
inefficient method Of cart sprin.
king and sweeping, he introduced
the plan of washing the streets BY
means of compressed air ma.
chimes, or with hose from the nv.
drants. Instead Of laying the
dust by sprinkling, he says the
streets should be washed so clean
there will be no dust.
During the last year an average
of so miles Of street has been
washed daily, between the hours
of one and four o'clock in the
morning. By washing, DR.. Wood.
bury means applying the water
with sufficient force to remove the
gum which clings to the surface
of the asphalt; this, he says, is the
only sanitary way to clean such
pavement.
The proof of his assertion Il
found, not only in the comparative
freedom from dust but also in a
more positive way by bacteriolog.
list tests. The latter show that
bacteria are very largely removed
from the streets by washing them
as described.
An agar plate exposed at a
point in Fifth avenue just after
the passage of a sprinkling wagon
developed 400 colonies of bacteria.
A second plate exposed at the
same place for an equal time after
approved flushing of the street
showed only ten colonies.
Another proof of the efficacy
of the plan adopted is the low
death rate in the part of the city
which has been so cleaned for a
considerable period of time.

DAY OF FAKE JEwELRY FAD
p..lsr in Genuine Article Sees Trsds
FAN on Because Of 1mi-
tation Gems.

This is the day of the manutao
tured or imitation jewelry. 1t is
said the sale of genuine iewelry in
New York has suffered from the
trade. For some time past 1t has
been possible to obtain imitation
iewelry in France and England
which is difficult of detection by
experts. The principal manufac-
turers deal in jewels Of their own
manufacture, which are extraOr-
dinarily fine limitations Of the real
stones and will have a life of ~
years. The diamonds" are a com
position of glass, lead and carbon,
tipped with platinum, which IS
harder than gold. Every real
stone, except a diamond, is trans
parent. Without the tip OF platl-
mum these diamonds" would also
be transparent, but with it they
are given an undetectable resem-
blance to the genuine stone
These "gems" are mounted in IA
carat gold, and so well that, when
worn, the platinum tipping can
not be seen. An infinite variety
of designs, copied from the best of
real models, are shown, and at a
price which is about 80 per cent.
less than the genuine. All the
colOred stOnes-rubies, sapphires,
emeralds and turquoises-are also
manufactured and are similar in
appearance. The turquoise is so
hard that the surface can be filed
and no blemish made on the stone.
AS genuine pearls are the most
costly of gems the imitation
pearls take the lead in price. They
are made of fshskin and a secret
composition. The manufacture
of some especially good imitation
pearls, known as "Venetiau
pearls" is a lost art, the process
