Dr. Edwards Letter.


Manila, P. l., Nov. lO.-A the
!. risk of telling my readers something
they already know, am gong to give
a little idea OF the Philippine islands,
IN this letter, so far as their topogra-
phy is concerned. There are three
thousand one hundred and forty is
lands that are recorded, and numer
Gus little ones scattered between, IN
the Philippine group. This fringe OF
islands lies along the coast OF China
of which mainland it once formed a
part. The group extends little over
l6 degrees of latitude, a distance OF
1852 miles from the most northern
tothe most southern point in the
group. Few people realize the com
paritively large land area of the Phil
ippiues. The aggregate soil area is
1883 miles, or almost as large as
the state. of California. They are
nearly twice as large as New YORK,
New Jersey |. Pennsylvania and Del
. aware together They are 1000 So.
miles larger than the British islands.
There are many active VOLCANOES on
the islands, and many more that are
dormant. Of the twenty active ones
the most interesting one is Taal, in
Batanges province, Luzon. The
mountain rises precipitously from the
midst of fresh water lake to height
of 1000 feet, The last violent eruP
ton wasin 1873, but it is constantly
smoking and grumblng, and earth
quakes are shaking the country at its
base all the time.
Mindanao and Luzon are BY far
the largest islands in the group, and
the next in size drops away down. 1t
is Samar, which contains but .5,44S
square miles,. The islands run down
in area to- small islands sometimes
less than a square mile il extent.
All of the islands and in numerous
instances, especially'in Luzoh and
Mindanao. the mountains are rugged
and picturesque to surprising de
gree Numerous water courses,
verging into large streams, come
down from the many springs In the
mountains, forming means of, inter
course through a country that is viz
tually shut out because of a dense
tropical underground.

The islands abound in mineral
springs, which have been known for
generations for their medicinal and
curative qualities. Their waters are
of all temperatures, from cold to boil
ing. Los Danos in Laguna province
island of Luzon, is the most famous
resort in the Philippines, and is visit
ed by thousands. 1t is but thirty five
miles from Manila.
The peculiarly of the rivers is
their great volume in comparison to
their length. The abunoant precipi-
tation and many springs of the islands
cause heavy water flow, and the
streams are broad and deep, but very
short. The largest river on the is
land is the Rio Grande de Mindanao,
which drains the great central basin
of the island of Mindanao. 1t is
ITO miles long and is navigable for
45 miles. On the island of Luzon is
the river Cagayan, draining larger
area but is less in volume. 1t is
navig4ble for 200 miles by very light
draft boats. There are other large
rivers on the islands, but all of them
are short.
Living on these islands are between
seven and eight million people. Of

bulk Of the population is of Malay
origin but they have numerous dis
