SCIENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES.

Journal Published, Germs studied
and Serums Prepared.
Zone work In the Philippines, pure
ly American, has escaped general at
tention.' said DR.. Frederick j. Houser,
of Minneapolis. to reporter for the.
Washington Herald, who has spent a
number Of years In the Philippine
government service. Its the kind
that's done with microscope and SO
does not attract public notice like
building bridges and roads. and sew
ers and water works, and harbor Inn
proyements. 1t Is the work of what is
called the bureau of science.
That work has been worth millions
to the Philippines" continued DIR. Hou-
ser. 1T grew out of the necessity of
examining the water supplies, of max
Ing analysis of foods. of investigating
agricultural problems, making vaccine
virus and serums for certain diseases,
as well as studying insect pests and
making assays of mineral products.
Gradually all these functions and
many more were conferred in one In
sstitution to investigate the natural
resources of the islands to study dis
eases. to standardize weights and
measures and to form great scien-
stifc library. There have been all
sorts of chemical work done for the
benefit of agriculture.
All kinds of germs have been stud
led and serums have been prepared
for them. More than 10000 botanical
specimens have been collected. A fine
scientific journal is published and has
made itself known throughout the
world.
DO you wonder that the Filipinos
have a reputation for being lazy? 1t
isn't laziness. In plain English, 1t is
a case of worms. The Filipino won't
be good for much, either in the way of
government or industry, until you get
those worms out of his system. Well,

'em"

To the chagrin Of Two Who Thought
He Was a Deaf Mute.
1t ISN'T always safe to trust ap-
pearances, as two young women
learned to their chagrin on trolley
trip out in Jersey. 81
Two other young women with q
man between them were seated on
the opposite side of the car. They
were silent three, the young wom-
en- and the man. but they talked ex-
citedly-with their fingers. Deaf
mutes, evidently, the other young
women thought. and after they had
got little used to the novelty they
began ito talk out loud about the
young man and his companions.
isn't It a pity" said one, that such
a nice young man should he deaf
and dumb?"
The other agreed audibly, and the
talk went on. AS is the way with
the SEX there was Little commisera-
tion for the young women afflicted
as the young man was.
The young man got his revenge
for himself and his friends. Arrlv-
Ing at the point he wished to EN-.
bark, he raised his hand to the con.
ductor and said in a loud voice:
'S.op at - street, please"
The young women who trusted to
appearances looked mighty sheepish

I'll name my asking now" said
Clan. viii you give me the halter
of the Gobhan's cow"
Il will give you that" said Balor,
without deceit"
Clan set to the making OF thu
trees, and hard work he found 1t, for
every leaf and twig that grew for
him in the daytime was withered up
by Balor's breath at night. At last
he made crystal wall round the
garth of apple trees, and the breath
of Balor could not touch them.
They grew then and blossomed, and
| when the news of that got out every
one in lBalor's country came begging
for a branch with blossoms. Clan
denied it to them; he was every day
denying it till beggar-woman came.
What makes you think you will
get the braneh?" said Clan When
! would not break it for gold aud
jewels and the wealth of Balor's king.
dom, why should brenk 1t for you?"
Because" sad the woman, 81

took the cloak from her face then,
and Clan saw she was as good 70

broke off a branch and gave it to
her. Like to like he said. She
took the branch and went away. and
Clan saw the people staring as she
passed and bowling themselves. who
Is that woman?' he asked, and the
folk about said: at is Balor's one
daughter. She has the face Of a
foreigner, and it is said she will bring
ill-luck on Balor."
Apples came on the trees after
that, and Balor's crooked mind began
to twist itself. He took the halter
and hid it under seven knots of mag
ic and cunning. No one but himself
or his daughter could undo the knots.
When the apples were ripe Clan came
to ask for his reward.
'sMy Grief and my TROUBLED" said
Balor "the halter is gone from me.
and there Is not hand or an eye
/ belonging to me that is not searching
for it this moment" That was true
enough, for every one in Balor's
house was hunting for the halter,
while he stood outside wrlnging his
hands.
Balor's daughter looked out OF the
window. She had the halter in her
hand. Make an end of your lamen-
tations.' said she, "for the halter is
found!' Throw 1t here to mel" said
Balor. Now Balor stood to the left
4 of her and Clan to her right. She
made a crooked cast Of her hand and
threw the halter to Clan.
It's good daughter / have!" said
B Balor.
Sure" said the daughter, "if you
were as wise as you think yourself
you would know that woman can
never throw anything straight. If you
told me to throw the halter to Clan
maybe It's yourself would have go
I'll"
Well, that was the end. Clan had
the halter, and he went back to Ire
land. Balor put all his locks on the

The discovery of coal beneath the
chalk cliffs OF Dover has given rise
to the hope that 1t may be found In
workable quantities elsewhere in the
south of England.
According to the estimates OF Lewis
b. Stillwell, presented before the
American Institute of Electrical En-
gineers, the Niagara Falls hydro-elec-
trio plants during the year 1908 saw
ed more than a million tons Of coal,
which otherwise would have had to.
be burned in order to produce an

gy. During the same year. says MIR.
Stillwell, the marlborough Transit,
Company in New York, by Its electric
system saved nearly q million tons Of
coal from the amount that would have
been consumed by locomotives. Mr.
Sttllwell has also calculated that when
the application Of electric power in the
coal mines Of the Northumberland and
Durham district of England is com
pleted, there will be saving of 1,750,-
900 tons of coal per year, for use else
where than at the mines.

easily cut with the same saw. MIR. j.
Al Flannery described the superior.
work of yanadium-steel tools intended
for metal-cutting. American tools of
this kind were tested in comparison
with the best steel tools that could
be obtained from abroad. The other
steels needed grinding after cutting 50
axles, while the American vanadium
steel worked without attention up to
AGO axles. The following is said to
be the best composition for steel Of
this character: vanadium, 0.32 per
cant. tungsten, 17,8I per cent: chro.
