New York, Oct. u.-There is, of course,
nothing discouraging in the fact that
bullish activity does not include the
whole list at this time. Were 1t other
wise, there would indeed be cause for
The one factor which is not en-
tirely satisfactory from q stock market
point OF view is the money situation, al
though this is improving and will con-
tinue to improve SO long as the large in
terests succeed in holding speculative op-
erations in check. An outbreak OF bull
ish activity in the general list would Sc
TiOusly endanger the good that has been
in the way of restoring nor

time, five years being the shortest term
for a lease. AS long as the fee is paid
for the rental the owner is allowed to
rest in peace. If for any reason the
estate or the relatives discontinue the
payments, the bones are disinterred
and thrown into the boneyard. This
cheerful adjunct to each cemetery may
better be imagined than described.
Surmounted by skull and crossbones

'Expecta ReSurrectionum, and a high
wall hides (saVe from the curious) the
heterogeneous mass of skulls, trunks,
innominata, ETC., which have failed to
find resting place within the bowels
of the earth.
Gruesome Sights Are Many.
"The boneyard at Manila has been
condemned and the cemetery at Fam
boanga is now unused, but the bone
yard with it's weird and gruesome spec
tacle is still there. And many a nurse
on night duty in the hospital adjoining
is almost as 1eery' of the fearsome
things which are there unearthed as of
the much more dangerous things which
are likely to enter at any moment in
the absence of the corps man, who,
armed for any emergency, is making
his rounds. l recall one hot night III
February a Moro presented himself at
the front door of the office, and stood
before me apparently bleeding from
every pore. He was cut with a bolO
slung by hostile woman, his worst
wound being down his back. In addi-
ton to this he had the entire flesh cut
from one leg, and wound which re-
CURED twenty stitches across the en-
tire top of his head.
He walked in unaided and signified
that he wanted attention. The sur
geon was called and after he had been
prepared antiseptically (no small mat
ter with those dirty creatures), he sat
and watched the physician take the
necessary stitches in his leg without a
finch He was sewed up wherever il
was necessary and put carefully in a
clean bed, but when the nurse made her
rounds liz the early morning he was
gone. Later IN the day he was found
and brought back, however, and tied

Scenes of Great Beauty.
while at Zamboanga 1 was called to
attend an officers wife in Parang Par
ang, three days journey still to the
south, and all that l could say of the
beauty of Zamboanga would be as
nothing to the wOndrous glory of Par
ang Parang. Here are long avenues of
ylang ylang, the most delicious and
subtle Of all perfumes. The moonlight
falling through a lacy leaves of the
bamboo is more of a golden light than
is ours and the nights are like day
without it's heat and garishness. The
nights, heavy with the fragrance of
