MARKET WOMEN OF MANILA.
Smoke Big Cigars and Bring Wares
on Their Heads.

Manila Correspondence Chicago News.
It is the women who market the prod
uce. Early each morning long lines of
these farmer wives, with great cigars in
their mouths and large baskets of wares
on their heads. can be seen striding along
the narrow trails toward the capital city
where market is held
Strong and happy, they wade through
the streams and the mud. calling out to
one another as they go, and only stopping
to get fresh light for their cigars from
some one of their number or some one
whom they chance to meet. Once at
ter for hours over few small tomatoes,
some green squash, live chicken. eggs
fruit, sugar or anything they happen to
have, ard toward noon they straggle
home having had a good visit and sold
or exchanged their wares.
Sunday is the one really strenuous day
for the Filipino. II is the big market day
when people come from all the surround
ing country and ii is the time when cock
fights are allowed Men spend good
share OF their time during the week in
training their pet roosters. and Sunday,
early and late. they can be seen going
to and from the pit, carrying their game
cocks under their arms.
Excitement runs high and their joyous
shouts can be heard for long way. Some
women attend the fights. but most OF
them do the double duty of attending
mass and then patronizing the market,
which is Just across the street from the
church All day Sunday they are active
and excitabl nut the next day they settle
back into their quiet, uneventful lives.

has investigated the matter.

The French army is making use of an
automobile wireless telegraph station,
which is said to be the most complete
or effective arrangement yet devised. 1t
has a mast. which. when extended. is six
ty-six feet high. 1t is largely made of
aluminium and can be raised in a few
minutes. In fact, the station can be
made ready for service in six minutes and
has a radius of ninety miles. 1t may be
operated by two men. but there are ac-
commodations for a crew of six, which
provides for constant operation when
necessary.
Although the floor of the Gatun lock

A self-starting gas engine. which has
been sought after for some time. has at
last been invented. While compressed
air Is used, 1t is not it's direct pressure
upon the piston that effects the starting.
The compressed air is forced through the
carbureter to carry an explosive mix
ture into the manifold connecting the
cylinders. Unsil actuated by the cam
shaft the inlet valves remain seated under
pressure due to the greater area of a
balancing piston on the valve stem. After
the start produced by exploding the COM
pressed mixture the compressed air is cut
off and the pressure in the manifold be-
comes again atmospheric. Thereupon the
check valve opens and the engine operates
in the ordinary way. A m achanical feature
of the engine that is a departure Is the
connection of the piston and rod nv a
cup joint instead OF the usual wrist min.

In the nine years away from the sight
of man this glacier has shown remark
able changes. When Prof. John Muir
after whom it was named, visited it it
had solid face two miles long, about
go feet above the waterline. 1t was a
live glacier, and great masses of ice
toppled into the sea with reverbratiops
like thunder. Water would splash fifty
feet high and the sight was fearsome
and fascinating.
Today the glacier assumes different
aspect. Erosion has worked out new
bay which will soon be charted, and the
glacier itself seems to have two parts,
the live part, from which icebergs break

tween it and the sea. This change is due
to hill which projected through the top

Now that hilltop is large mountain. di-
viding the ice fields. The ice has also re-
coded at least four miles in the nine years.
This is without doubt the most remark
able known glacier on this continent,
though Alaska has other wonderful gla-
ciers which occupy clefts high up in the
mountains, and some of which have an
elevation Of 5000 feet. Among these are
the Taku. Davidson. Window and LIE
Coute. But Muir glacier has 354 square
miles of ice. and presents such an i'm
posing sight that it is considered the
browning glory of Alaska's stupendous
scenery-the sight of a lifetime. No one
knows how it happens that Glacier bay
can he entered now where it could not be-
fore. but it is thought that favorable
winds and mild weather caused the ice to
drift away.
An interesting fact about Alaskan gla-
cers is that some are dead" and others
are "alive." Davidson glacier, which is
really a tongue of the Muir glacier, has
been assembled by travellers for number Of
years 1t is a dead glacier, having a mo-

Highest Golf Course in Europe.

The highest golf course in Europe is
that at Maloja. in the Upper Engadine.
The course of nine holes. varying from
10 to $50 yards. is between Maloia and
the pass which leads from the Engadine
to the Lake of Como and commands lovely
views of the Siser See and the snowclad
peaks: the hazards are chiefly depressions
between the hills. The altitude of these
links is about 500 feet above sea level.
The small course at st. Moritz is about
the same altitude, while that at Samaden.

that this was the famous historian and

understand that. If one were not interest

brllisncy. might have been bore. One
may gather from his writings that he had
great confidence in his own opinions and
little regard for the opinions of others.
Still, there were occasional flashes of

COMMANDER ROBERT E. PEARY.
land of ice and unheard from since
August, 1908, startled the world by
similar message sent from Indian Ilar-
bor Labrador. There was no qualiti-
cation; it left no doubt. 1t announced
unequivocally that he had reached the
top of the world. Thus two flags with
the stars and stripes of the United
States are floating in the ice packs,
proving the courage of intrepid AmeIi-
cans.
With but a word from Peary, the
world waits breathlessly for details,
but until he arrives at Chateau Bay,
Labrador waiting must suffice.
First word of Peary's success
reached New York at 12:39 o'clock
yesterday afternoon in dispatch to the
Associated Press. 1t contained the
bare announcement Of his finding the
pole. Almost simultaneously he had
transmitted the news to London, re-
peating dramatically and simply,
"Stars and Stripes nailed to the North
Pole" At the same time he similarly
advised the governor of Newfoundland.
Both old and new worlds were thus
apprised of his great achievement
practically at the same moment and
the excitement which followed attests
to the high pitch of interest aroused
over this climax Of mans persever-
ance. Newspaper extras were rushed
from the press and those who read
marveled at the twist of the universe
which had snatched the ice mask from
the north in so strange a manner.
Like DR.. Cooks first message
Peary's was tantalzing In its brief
ness and the waiting public, stimulated
by Cooks success was left unsatiated.
For. as did Dr. Cook Peary resumed
his homeward voyage Immediately
after filing the curt news of discovery
This gave assurance that the vessel
in which PeaIy departed had passed
through the ice unscathed but details
of his home coming and the date of
this discovery Of the pole were still
lacking. II was not until the New
York Times had received a dispatch
later in the afternoon that these vital
points were cleared up. The message
said:

Waite had warned the laborers to
flee for their lives when he saw the
slide coming. and was almost out of
harms way himself when he tripped
over a battery wire and fell. He was
buried under 10 feet of stone and
earth. Two other workmen were
caught under the slide but were only
slightly injured.
Rescuers have been working "a
