PHOSPHATE IN SOUTH SEAS.

Largest Known Deposits of High
Grade Phosphate.
The islands of the Pacific ocean con-
tain the largest known deposits Of high
grade phosphates. A London company
controls the deposits in Ocean and
Pleasant islands, in the Gilbert group.
The deposits on these islands are es-
tlmated at 100000 tons, Of which
scarcely 100000 tons have been mar
keted. BY the employment Of large
number of Chinese, Japanese and ma
tives the company is now marketing
$4,000 to 100000 tons year, Of which
100000 tons go to Japan, $4,000 to Aus
tralia and the remainder to Europe.
Europe also receives yearly 10000 tons
of high grade phosphates from Christ
mas island and more than 100000 tons
Of lower grade phosphates from Tunis
and Algeria.
Notwithstanding the very large de-
posits owned by the London company,
the mining Of phosphates pays SO we'll
that not only that company, but va
rious other investors, have been, and
are, making constant efforts to discover
other phosphate deposits, and in many
islands deposits, small in quantity and
poor in quality, have been discovered,
as In the Fills. Recently, however,
phosphate Of good quality has been dis
covered on three Islands in the French
colony Of Tahiti and dependencies.
These islands--Makatea, Matahiva and
Niau-lie>in the northwestern part Of
the Tuamotu archipelago of eighty
atoll islands. 1t is also probable that
deposits exist on other islands Of this
group. The deposits In Matahlva and
Niau are small, but the high grade de-
posits in Makatea are estimated at
100000 tons, with many million more
tons of an Inferior quality. The quail
ity Of this deposit ranges from IS to
80 per cent. The island has an eleva-
ton Of $50 feet-the highest Of the
group-and an area of SIX to eight
square miles. Although many others
are interested In these deposits, they
will be worked by French company,
Just formed in Paris for that purpose
As Makatea is surrounded by coral
reefs and has no harbor, the phosphate
will have to be loaded at deep sea
moorings outside the reefs. On &C.
count Of the expense incident thereto
it will be some time before the COM
pany can make any considerable ship
ments, but in the course of few years
1t is considered that the capacity Of
the works will be 100000 tons per an
mum.
AS Makatea is SO near Papete, the
commercial center of this colony, the
working of the phosphate deposits on
that island will add largely to the busi-
ness and prosperity of the colony

FATHER JOHN OF cHoNsrADr.
Death Takes Russian Priest to Whom

Death Takes Russian Priest to Whom
Many Miracles Are Credited.
The once famous apostle of all the
Russias, Father John of Cronstadt,
whose death occurred recently in st.
Petersburg after an illness of over two
years. duration, was reyered and
adored not merely among the lowly
but by royalty as well.
Born Nov. 80, 1920, he achieved early
fame, coming into prominence soon
after taking a priesthood at the An
drew Church of Cronstadt. Although
not factor in the political life Of his
country, nor leading dignitary of the
church, Father John stood out conspic-
uously whenever Russia attracted the
worlds attention, whether because OF
national sorrow or rejoicing.
A scoffer at superstition and broad
minded man, nevertheless he was uni
versally known to the people of Russia
as the holy seer and miracle worker
Of the empire. This resulted from the
deep impression his zeal and devotion
to the church wrought on the people.
AT the beginning of his ministry in
1866, his zeal. his personality and his
unique methods appealed to the mediae-
val spirit which largely prevailed
among the people and in the Russian
church, and he welded wide influence,

WOMEN WAR ON DRupeERY.

Endless scrubbing and Houseclean-
ing Declared Bad for the Soul.
The State Federation Of Pennsylya-
MIA Women has placed itself on record
as against the 'drudgery" which Its
members say is the mistake of the
housewife Of to-day, according to 8
Pittsburg dispatch to the New York
Times. 1t was decided that there was
entirely too much washing and ironing,
cleaning and scrubbing in the life Of
the average housewife, and, while there
could be no objection to little mend
ing and darning, 1t was certain that
something must be done to cut down
the scrubbing and CLEANING.
1t was decided to raise fund Of
$4,000 to endow scholarship at tile
State College of Pennsylvania, to be
known as the Kate Cassatt Mcknight
memorial for permanent domestic
science" Many ringing addresses were
made in favor of this move, intended
to teach the girls how to mend, ETC.,
make the home happy. 1t would seem,
however, that the mop and the scrub
brush are hot to be included In the
curriculum. Mrs. Anna O. Tillinghast
of Titusville brought down the house
by exclaiming tragically:
what effects, think you, will an end
less round Of cleaning and scrubbing,
washing and ironing have upon hui
man soul7 How far toward the ideal
in moral and spiritual development will
such soul be able to advanced"
1t was thought best not to include
the scrub brush in the resolution, and
some Of the more calm members, after
due elaboration, presented the follow
ing resolution, which was passed;
Whereas, Believing that the safety
and continual blessing Of our country
rest upon the sanctity and comfort Of
our homemaker, and that for the ac-
complishment of these desired condl-
lions we must act In sincerity and CO.

Pennsylvania Women raises $4,000 for

ing thereon each year to be used for

or virtually on the Atlantic shore line.
Its migration has been slow and re.

The westward movement has aver.
aged less than degree in decade,
Notwithstanding the Incredibly swift oc.
cupation Of vacant continent by a.
movement of population westward. The
easterly position of the center Of popu.s
lation is In part due to the fact that
the eastern part of the continent waa
first settled and was settled from the
east. The easterly position Of the CEN

more evenly distributed and more abun-
dant resources of the eastern half Of
the United States.
1t should not be forgotten that tho

In view Of the excessive severity Of
the arraignment Of the modern home
to which the American Sociological So
ciety was treated by Mrs. Charlotte
Perkins Gilman, one almost expects
some Judge to ask the poor home
whether 1t has anything to say before
sentence Is pronounced against 1t. AS
a matter Of fact, the modern home
need not hang Its head in shame and
sorrow, and Is in no danger Of con-
demnation. 1t has done very well con
sidering its prehistoric and even his
tortc past, and 1t goes on improving.

lions and with human nature ITSELF

On to do the work and carry on the

true that extreme poverty, like idle

for maternity, and 1t is true that in too
many homes the provisions for child
culture are still sadly inadequate But
1t Is not true that we have reached the
parlous state where "the woman re-
fuses to go back, the home refuses to

SMUGGLING IN PHILIPPINES.
gwift Boat Bring. contraband Good.

Swift Boat Brings Contraband Goods
from Oriental Ports to Islands
Smuggling in the Philippine Islands
is assuming proportions that make it a
menace to insular revenues, says the
Manila Times. 1t will surprise the or
derby and law-abiding to know that
only few days ago cargo Of khaki,
smuggled into the country by way Of
the east coast Of Luzon, was floated
down Laguna de Bay and the Pasig
for distribution in Manila, yet such is
the fact
The cloth was dropped on the east
coast somewhere near Baker, logged
across the mountains to secluded in
let on the lake and boldly brought into
Manila. Sleuths Of the government got
track Of 1t before 1t was landed, but
there was no way to stop 1t.
There is smuggling, too, in the north
country, but Its. greatest home is in the
Sulu archipelago, with. Borneo as Its
base. There In that back alleyway Of
the sea 1t has gone on for ages without
let or hindrance. Hundreds of swift
going yintas are engaged in the Illicit
trade land heretofore they have carried
on the traffic in the light Of day.
1t has never been anybody's business
to watch them. The trade was good
for Borneo and Spanish sovereignty sat
lightly In the sea of Dyaks. A month
ago when legislative committee went
from Manila to investigate the question
1t found hundred boats loading con-
traband on the Borneo coast and 1t
stumbled upon party of ninety Chi
1ese who were coming to the Philip
pines by the underground.
Suppression of the use of opium in
the Philippines has made the drug the
great prize Of smuggling. 1t has gone
to fabulous price In Manila, Ilollo,
Bebu and other cities, and there are
riches for the fellow who can run it
across the Sulu Sea. And there is mon
ey In other articles, as witness the in.
nocent khaki cloth that clrcled Luzon
and came in by way Of the Luguna e1-
cursion route. The government is plan
ming to meet the Sulu situation by
building fast cutter, but two could
do more work than one, and there must
later be another for the north coast,
and later another for the east coast
