Trade, crop and Industrial re-

currences, however, cannot disguise
the fact that some lines of industry
are still very much depressed; that

BEDoUIN AND BURNoUS.

1t is foregone conclusion with the
initiated that cloaks for day and even
ing wear will be more elaborate than
ever. Many of Them are exceedingly
graceful in design and have evidently
been inspired by pictures Of the wraps
worn by the ladies of the French and
English courts many centuries ago;
in fact, the only command which Dame
Fashion lays ON US at the moment is
to wear becoming cloak and one
which is in harmony with the costume
it is destined to accompany.
A very lovely wrap was Of Austrian
blue soft satin, with deep caIirass, or
it might almost be termed small
bolero of guipure lace, over which
was arranged latticework of gold
cords finished beneath the arms with
a veritable cascade OF gold cords and
tassels. The high Medici collar was
Of guipure Lace, threaded with gold
and outlined with velvet.
Other charming wraps are of the
Bedouin and burnous character and
are gracefully draped to hang in folds
from the shoulder. Nantes of the
Spanish bnigand type are also exceed.
ingly fashionable: they are draped
across the front and fastened on the
shoulders with cords of gold or sill

MANlLA's NEW WATER WORKS.
City Supplied From Protected Water
shed 40 Miles Square.

City Supplied From Protected Water
shed, $40 Miles Square.
The Inauguration of Manila's new
water supply marks the completion OF
a project of great Importance to the
city. The new water supply is taken
from the Mariquina River, twenty
miles northeast of Manila.
The watershed above the point OF
diversion covers about lao square
miles of mountain and forest and is
Withdrawn from settlement. Private
property within this reservation will
be appropriated, says the Colonial Re-
view, and the entire district will be
freed from human contamination for
ever.
The reservoir is rectangular in plan
and measures 500 by 764 feet and IS 20
feet deep. Its capacity is 5O,O00,O0O
gallons. The water enters through
concrete lined conduit four and one
half miles in length, of which a small
amount lies near the surface of the
ground and was constructed in an
open ditch; the balance is in a tunnel.
which at the deepest point is 1870 feet
below the surface of the ground.
At frequent intervals along the con-
duit are inclined shafts with steps
for entering the tunnel TO inspect,
clean or repair. At one point the con.
duit sinks under the bed Of the Dulu.
tan River and at another dt Is car
ried across stream by a 60 foot con.
crete arch bridge.
The water Is carried from the head
works to the tunnels by means of a
riveted steel pipe line AZ inches in di-
ameter and ten and onelhaH miles
long. The pipe is carried under the
Mariquina River, but this section, in
place of steel, Is of cast iron. Most
of the other streams are crossed by
means of concrete bridges; but at two
points the pipe is carried across by
steel truss bridges where the width Of
the stream is too great for concrete.
The dam Is 400 feet long on the
crest and about IS feet in extreme
height. 1t Is built OF cyclopean ma
sonry, or concrete in which large
stones are embedded. Behind the
dam will be a storage basin which will
serve the city during the dry months
when the discharge of the river is
less than that necessary for the sup
ply.
The cost of the completed work is
about s1.5O0,OOO as far as the DEPOSIT
to, and the distribution system to be
installed throughout the city will cost
100000 more.
The new system supplies 22,500,000
gallons of water each twenty-foar
hours-enough to give every man. wom-
an and child in the city 100 gallons
day.
