REBUILDING or MANILA.
American Energy and Money Chang
ing Pest Hole Into "city
Beautiful

Says the Worlds Work: When the
Americans marched into Manila on
August Is, 1898. 1t was the nlthiest
place in the orient, to-day 1t is one OF
the cleanest east Of Suez, and the tour.
lists who visit 1t pronounce 1t the most
attractive spot In all the east. In si1
years 1t has been transformed from Q
medieval city, fallen into decay, into
"a center of twentieth century activity
and enterprise.
The .nree things most needed In Ma
inila at present are modern water and
sewer systems and modern and thor
oughly equipped hospitals for the poor,
both in the city and in the provinces.
All three of these wants are to be pro-
vided for. A committee has made planA
for a civil hospital to coat more than
81 100000. 1t will be built on the pa
vilion plan. In the meantime Arch
bishop Harry has taken upon himself
the task Of providing hospital to
meet present needs. A One stone struc-
ture, built before the American occu-
patton, for the education Of the Filipino
priesthood, is to be equipped as hos
pital. Bishop Brent, of the Protestant
Episcopal church, also has taken up
the cause Of the INDECENT sick. Last
April he returned from America with
money to equip a hospital for needy
Filipinos. The alumni Of Harvard,
Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Co.
lumbia universities contributed the nee.
,essary funds, and work upon the new
structure, which Is to be known az
University hospital, has already be-
gun.
The plans for harbor improvements
involve an expenditure Of about $4,000.
600, the work being In charge OF Maj.
G. Med. Townsend, an engineer IN the
United States army. But Of all the In
novations the street cars are the dear
est to the hearts Of Americans. The
Manila Street Railroad 4 Electric
Light company is spending more than
IS, 900, 900 to supply the city with trans
portation and light. The city will soon
have a new telephone system, too.
Every city has its pet organization,
and in Manila the FIRE department holds
this distinction. The Filipino finds his
nipa shack in flames; he runs to the
nearest telegraph pole and pulls hook
and before he has had time to take
fresh chew Of betel nut the engine Is
at his door and the danger Is past.
1t is all very wonderful, more marvel
Gus, In fact, than .Ae charm against
cholera which the priest sells him, and
the men in helmets and rubber boots
are sort Of demigodE.
Nor has the identifying Of Manila
been neglected. Mr.. D. H. Burnham,
the famous architect and landscape
gardener, has planned an elaborate sys-
tenn Of parks and boulevards Manila
will be the "city beautiful" Of the
orient

noc,le Ducks Of the Chinese.

/ In China the duck Is much esteemed
"a an article of diet, and what may
be called duck farms are common on
most Of the rivers. The birds are
itanght to hunt for their food and the
rearing Of them costs little. They are
kent IN boats with platform or deck
o,fanding outward on each side.
THESE boats are taken to the shallow,
matshy parts by the banks of the
stkeams. and the ducks are then driven
laahore to enjoy themselves in the mud
hats So well are the birds trained
that at given signal they cease eat
ing and follow their leader back into
the boat, where they lie during the
might. Ducks preserved by being salt
led are a favorite food with the well
ito do.

Beads as JeWelry.

Judge Dole, in the United States dis
trict court of Hawaii, has sustained a
protest to a ruling Of Collector Stack
able as to the classification Of strings
of Tasmanian shells, great quantities
of which are imported by the Hawaii
ans. They are worn like strings Of
beads, the shells being beautifully irri-
descent. The collector Of customs clas-
sifed them as jewelry. The importers
protested and Judge Dole has held that
they are not jewelry.

is, those Of the engulfment variety.
While in Honolulu Prof. Pickering
delivered lecture, in which he ad-
yanced the theory that the moon was
originally part of the earth and was
thrown off and that the Hawaiian
islands were about in the center Of
this lunar genesis. The space that was
left when the moon material was
thrown off was the Pacific ocean. The
large volcanoes Of Mauna Loa and Kill
auea on the island of Hawaii and Hale
akala on Maui were, Prof Pickering
stated, in many ways exactly Ike those
he had observed through telescope on
the moon.

improbable that conditions may arise
that will make his candidacy neces-

an ideal Senator. Notwithstanding that
the governor is not a candidate. there
is a strong sentiment for him among
the people.
When asked If Kentucky was giving
any attention to the labor problem.

question Of securing labor is a serious

its Importance and its bearing on the

tween line and staff. The consensus
of opinion seems to be that in addi-
ton the act went far toward abolish
ing the engineering efficiency of the
navy.
Young gentlemen emerging from
Annapolis seem not at all anxious to
learn practical engineering. Natural
iy enough, perhaps, they prefer the
more spectacular duties of their pro-
fession and would rather excel in
knowledge of seamanship and gun
merry than in that of engines and ma
chinery. There is a suspicion they
regard their tours in the engine room
very much in the light OF a penance.
They rather avoid the requirement
of proficiency there than seek to at
tain it, on the comfortable theory
that if they know nothing of engi-
neering they can't be expected to
practice it.
Admiral Rae seems to think the
trouble can be remedied without
changing the present personnel act.
It may be so, though there is much
reason to doubt it. AS we read his
suggestions, his plan involves fore
ing all the younger officers TO do
engineering duty and realize it's re-
spOnsibilities. Just how the realiza-
tion is to be enforced he does not
| specifically suggest, though we think
we detect a lingering fondness for
! the use of a club.
! 1t is very certain something must
be done-and quickly. Accidents such
as that on the Bennington are glar-
ing indexes of the extremity of the
need. The nation will insist that
engineers of the navy, intrusted with
so much of responsibility and sc
many human lives, shall be the social
and professional equals of the officers
who are engaged in line duty. This
condition of affairs must be brought
about. If it cannot be accomplished
by forces within the navy, the Amer
lean public may be relied upon, with
confidence, to interpose a large and
compelling hand.

is still true, apparently, that mo law

now decreed also that no measure of

duced without the sanction of the
cabinet. In other words, the new
legislature shall have absolute author

it. One other development" Of the
