Moro province, Philippine Islands, is prospering. An enterprislng American colony is planted there, centering at zamboanga. That place has just been made port of call by the China Navi- gation Company. The recent Zambo- anga industrial and agricultural fair the first ever held in the province-was a marked success.

lAn appeal is being made for help in the restoration of the Church of St. Michael and All Angels, in the parish of Lydford, England. Standing on the heights of Dartmoor, this church of the highest inhabited village and of the largest parish in England, was built in the early days of the nineteenth cen tury by the French and American pris- oEers of war, and is doubtless the only church in the United Kingdom built under such circumstances.

Business continues to be business, in spite of the croakers. It Is stated off, ficially that the Pullman company has not laid off man and no change is in sight, as 1t has more than 10000 men at the Pullman works. This is 1000 more than the record total of the last car building wave. The output of the plant is at the point of about 50 freight cars a day.

Why Hair Turns Gray.
Although usually regarded as a Sign
Of age, gray hair, or canities, as 1t is
called In the language Of medicine, Is
not always so. 1t may appear early
In life, even In the teens. In that case
1t usually affects young women rather
than young men.
A popularity about the gray hair of
the young Is that it Is almost always
entirely white, and becomes 80 sudden
ly. All the hairs are equally affected,
and one seldom sees the mixed color,
or iron gray, 80 common In those of
middle or advanced age.
Sometimes in the young, even In ch1-
dren, there Is one gray lock like an is
land in the sea Of normally colored hair
about 1t. This ls usually family pc
culiarity, occurring In one generation
after the other.
The cause Of hair turning gray Is
something that puzzles the doctors.
The color Of the hair Is due to the
deposit of pigment In the interior of
each hair, and grayness follows the loss
Of this pigment. That is self-evldent,
but the puzzle is what causes the pig
ment to disappear. Some have believed
that 1t Is due to the drying Of the hair,
which causes a shrinkage of its fibers,
and SO allows the entrance Of air bub-
bles, the refractlon of light from which
then gives the white appearance.
The proof which Is adduced in sup
port of this belief Is that If gray hair
is put into the receiver of &c air pump
and the air Is then exhausted the color
Of the hair may return more or less
completely.
Metchnikoff, the famous bacteriolog-
list, says the cause of grayness Is the
penetration into the hair of wandering
cells, resembling the white blood cor
puscles. These cells, assisted by other
cells, the aggregation Of which makes
the hair, seize upon the granules Of
pigment and destroy them.
Nearly everyone has read of in
stances Of the sudden bleaching of the
hair-even In single highlander the
influence Of fear, grief or some other
Intense mental emotion. That such
cases have occurred Is undoubted, but
the explanation by either of the
theories above mentioned is difficult.
There is no cure for gray hair so far
as Is known The use of curling irons
Is s2id to retard its formation; perhaps,
If Metchnlkoff Is right, by destroying
the activity of the cells which consume
the pigment.-Youths Companion.

SEA RAILWAY A MIRACLE.
Crosses 16O Miles of Ocean, and VIII
Cost S32, 100000.

Cost s32,OOO,OOO.
The railroad which Henry NJ. Flag.
Ter and his millionaire associates In
the Standard OIL Company are build
ing over the Atlantic ocean from the
mainland to Key West, Fla, has made
such progress that it is announced that
the line will be completed by the sum-
mer Of 1909
This railway is the worlds most ex-
traordinary engineering project to-day,
and engineers at least say that when
completed it will be a wonder OF the
world The railway will be 160 miles
long. All the way from mainland to
Key West are small islands or keys,
as they are called, some an acre or less
In extent The builders Of the road
are connecting these keys with Immense
viaducts, supported by huge abutments
of solid concrete. At one point, two
keys are three miles apart, but the en-
gineers did not hesitate. They found
the ocean only forty feet deep, and they
proceeded at once to construct great
connecting bridge. Cofferdams were
sunk and the bed Of the ocean was
dredged out In places to solid rock.
Then the soil concrete foundations were
laid. The engineers are confident that
the worst ocean storms will not disturb
their bridges.
The railroad will be the most expen-
sive In the world 1t is costing $780,
600 q mile to build, which means
total expenditure, exclusive Of termin-
ais, OF $32OOO,OOO.

EXPERIMENTS WITH HYBRIps.
Pullman Station Develops New varl.
cites Of Wheat.

The Washington State college exper-
iment station at Pullman has brought
line Of experiments with Little Club
and White Track wheat to q point
where definite statements concerning
results can be given. These hybridiza-
tion experiments were begun in 1899
by Professor E. E. Elliott. One long
headed variety which Is now growing
in the eighth generation produces moro
straw than any ether hybrid heretofore
grown on the station farm. Because Of
this and that it will Withstand cold
nearly as we'll as Jones' Fife, the sta
tion staff believes it will be we'll adapt
ed to the dry section included in the
greater portion OF the Big Bend country.
A length OF six inches and 100 grains
to the head is not unusual in this
variety.
Another hybrid is remarkable for the
stiffness Of the straw. On the farm a
plot Of Red Russian and Arcadian were
cut to the ground by squirrels, while
the hybrid variety was left uninjured. t.
The stem grows too short to be suitable
for dry land, but it is the most stable
variety yet produced and in several in
stances produced go bushels per acre.
A long stem hybrid has the peculi-
arity of growing with surprising uni
formity Of height, and the staff say this
wheat should be we'll adapted to thresh-
ing with combined harvester. The
evenness in length, and the fact that
II skaters but little, makes it one OF
the most desirable hybrids brought out
on the college farm.

lumbia river in Oregon" writes Pro
fessor Hunt Of Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. "One-third Of the area is
covered by forests of immense CONNER
cial value, while at least one-ffth more
is covered by trees Of less Importance.
In Western Oregon and Washington
are to be found millions Of acres Of the
densest forests. with cohiferous trees Of
great height, and large diameters, Of
which the Douglas fiji and the red cedar
are perhaps the most important. 1t
is not uncommon for five acres of land
to cut a million feet Of lumber.
"Wheat and hay constitute about
one-third the value Of all crops. While
general farming Is somewhat more de-
veloped than in the Rocky Mountain
states, the grazing Of livestock is still
one OF the principal industries. Ger
tain areas In Oregon, Washington. and
California furnish ideal conditions Of
soil and climate for the production Of
hops. These three states produce two
thirds OF the product Of the United
States.
1.-THE Cascade mountains divide this
region, climatically and agriculturally,
into two parts. Between the Cascade
mountains and the Coast range are fer
tile, well-watered valleys, already
thickly populated. Upon the western
coast, owing to the Japan current, the
temperature is the most equable in
North America. The climate is more
like England than that Of any other
part Of the United States.
The soils are mostly OF volcanic
origin and are unusually fertile and en-
during. The prairies consist Of an ex-
panse Of rolling hills. The layout OF
the farms and general aspect Of the
improvements are similar to those in
the newer portions OF the North Cen
tral states. The people are mostly
native-born Americans from the older
settled states. There is o general air
Of hopefulness and prosperity among
them.
"There are still 80, 100000 acres Of
unappropriated and unreserved public
lands ready for entry in this region.
While some Of this Is forest land and
some is arid, this region probably con-
tains the best large body Of public yet
open for settlement in the United
States"
Oregon, Washington and Idaho are
credited with about 90, 900 farms. The
area in farms is about $4,000, 900
acres, the improved area being about
5000, 900 acres for the three states.
The average size Of the farms is a trifle
over 260 acres, and the average size Of
improved farms Is nearly 100 acres.
The state Of Oregon alone has about
IL 900, 900 acres Of land in farms and
ranches, which is estimated to be worth
about $l3 per acre.

EXCELLENT COAL PROSPECTS
Much Interest Aroused in Deposits
Around Ashland.

The recent work in developing the
various coal prospects found in the vi
cinity of Ashland, Oregon, has met
with 80 much success and has attracted
such widespread attention that it prom
ises to insure sufficient perseverance in
work along this line to determine the
real extent Of the coal deposits which,
beyond doubt, exist in this section.
There Is no question about the coal be-
ing found and the quality of 1t, but
there are skeptics as to the extent Of
the deposits. The scarcity and high
price of wood for fuel has prompted and
encouraged the coal prospecting 10 a
large extent, and the opening up of
coal beds Of ample extent would be q
welcome solution Of the fuel problem,
which is serious one and promises to
be more serious before another winter
Is over. The inability to secure wood
choppers during the past year or two
has greatly curtailed the wood output
and has resulted in soaring prices.
