PHILIPPINE OPPORTUNITIES.

ManiIa's Fine Waterways.

Manila's Fine Waterways.
The United States government for
several years has been at an enormous
annual expense in coaling in Japan
the transpacific transports, war vessels
and interisland fleets pertaining to the
Philippine service. Casters Magazine
says. Recently, however, the rich
coal fields in Baton, Rappu- Rappu and
Cararay islands, in the Gulf of Albay,
have been placed in operation.
Lately President Taft ordered that
Mango and Nagtagan islands be added
to the government reservation COM
posed Of Batan and adjacent islands.
These islands, all situated closely to-
gether, though small, are nevertheless
rich in q very fine grade of coal, the
amount of which, 1t is known, will
supply all needs for many years to
come.
There lies ahead Of the hardwood
and furniture industries of the Philip
pines a splendid future. The islands
possess the most beautiful woods In
the world and they are reaching their
development just at time when the
world is looking for hardwoods. The
timber is not located in thick stands
but is well scattered, covering. 1t has

NIGHT ToILERS IN BANKS.

Some Money Repositories Work Cler-
icaI Forces Continuously.
Four big banks in the Wall street
district resemble the great gold mines
of the West in one striking feature,
Harper's Weekly says. They have
three eight-hour shifts of toilers, and
the work never stops. One set takes
up the routine where the other leaves
off. All night long, Sundays and holi-
lays, staff of men in each of these
banks is busy opening thousands of
letters, sorting and listing innumera-
BILE checks and drafts that represent
fabulous sums of money and getting
them ready for the day force, which is
the only one the public comes in con-
tact with or ever hears about. If this
work was not carried on necessarily
the banks would soon be overwhelmed
with a mountainous accumulation of
detail.
Two shifts-the scouting force" as
they call themselves-work between
In the afternoon and the next morn
ing. Each bank has big drawer in
the general postoffice. Messengers
clear this of its letters every hour all
night long. Three thousand letters a
day is the average mail of one of these
large banks. Two-thirds of it comes in
during the night. These letters, in
the case of one of the biggest of these
banks, contain from $4,000 to 10000
checks and drafts. At times these in
closures represent as much as $780,.
100000. Rarely does the total fall be-
low s20,000.000.
The letters are opened as fast as
they are received. the checks are count.

MAKE BOY WEEK A SUCCESS

one before but-there may be others
after this.
For the last five days the public
schools have been torn by the political
ambitions of possible mayors. Of course
any boy with a grain of spirit would
like to have been mayor. But all 20
nominees couldn't make II and So
never mind, defeated candidates, 1t was
something to have been chosen at all.
IT meant that your teachers held you
to be about the best there was in the
way Of scholarship, department and the
general spirit that would have made
you a good representative OF the boy
population. It's a great pity that you
couldn't all have succeeded, but don't be
sore" about it. Get in and do your
part to make the week a success Take
your defeat as something "all in the
days work anyhow" and help out.
Here are some of the reasons given
by one OF the head workers of the club
why next week must be one Of the
greatest weeks of entertainment San
Francisco has ever had, why the Co
lumbia park boys must have their new
home.
l. BY it's splendid work the club has
become strong factor in our city life.
2. Tt is purely educational institu-
tion
8. Its work is not connected with
4. 1t has illustrated what can be
done for boys after school and work
ing hours.
S. More than 5000 boys have re-
ceived its benefits.
6. Through it's efforts athletics have
been introduced into the public schools
on a scholarship basis.
Z. BY it's military bands, military
companies, drum and bugle corps, man
ual training departments. physical de-
velopment in the gymnasium, dramatic
and choral achievements and travelling
tours 1t has set new standard for the
education of boys
8. The wonderful results have made
1t one of the most famous social insti-
tutions in the United States.
Now, IL that isn't the kind of club
you'd all like to belong to and if you
can't belong, the kind you want to
help, what is?

week depends on you, boys and girls.

EACH BOY AND GIRL DO HIS
PART

Monday San Francisco will be turned
over TO the boys. What boys? The
Columbia park boys Once upon time
one might have had to explain who the
Columbia park boys are, but that was
many, many years ago. Now it would
be like putting N. Y. after New York
to explain what state that city is in.
Why are the boys going to have a
week and what are they going to do In
It?
The first Is easier to answer than the
last because they are going to do so
many things; Drills, athletic contests,
theatrical shows. everything that the
Columbia park boys do so well. They
are going to do these things because
they need money for their new club

WHY WELL MADE KITES FLY
BY n. N. BARTHELL,
Head of the Manual Training Depart
ment

Some of the boys have been asking,
What makes the kite go up? Let
US see. Wind, which is air in motion,
comes against the surface of kite
and tries to push it out of the way;
this it can not do because the kite is
attached to a boy on the ground hold
ing to the string.
Since the attachment of the bride"
is such as to throw the upper part of
the kite forward, the air. in order to
get by, must escape underneath the
kite. This causes a congestion or
compression of air at the surface of the
lower part of the kite. AS there is
no such compression upon the back
surface of the kite, the kite is forced
upward until it's weight plus the drag"
of the string is great enough to over
come the lifting force Of the compress
sion.
Should the bride not be properly at
tached and the kite hang out of bal
ance." this is what is happening: One
side of the kite is swinging forward
more than the other, and the air in
stead of compressing evenly on the
lower part of the kite and escaping
under the lower edge, will escape at
one side or the other. This win force
the kite to dart from side to side and
prevent it from mounting very high.
OF the utmost Importance then is
the proper arrangement of the bride.
If your kite flies poorly, look to it's
bride!
Some one has asked about "buzzing"
kites. After having made the frame
in the usual way, with the string
around at the ends of the sticks run
a second string around. tying 1t to
each stick two inches from the first
string.
To the second string paste the cover
paper. Cut strips of tissue paper, to
represent fringe, two inches wide and
paste the strips on the outside string.
When in the air the paper fringe vi
brating produces a loud humming or
buzzing sound.
The way in which the cover Is put
on a kite is very important. If it is
stretched very tightly, more care must
be devoted to the bride and the tail.
If put on loosely the wind will form
a series of pockets on the surface.
These pockets will tend to steady the
kite.
Some people are asking, What is the
use OF a kite day?" The flying of
kites has been encouraged to provide
a form of home work. In making a
kite boy is using the skill and some
of the knowledge acquired in the man
ual training course. He is endeavoring
by the aid Of the wind to compel an
arrangement of string, sticks and
paper to do his bidding.
He is exercising and developing his
powers OF invention and learning the
lesson Of perseverance and patience.

The Scarlet Thread

Ever since the day of Nelson a pc
culiar custom has been observed in the
British navy. scarlet thread is wo-
ven into every one of the thousands of
ropes used in the British naval service.
This includes all ropes, from the
smallest heaving line to the largest
hawser.
1t simply means sure way of iden-
tifying royal property, and If any rope
with the red thread is found in unau-
thorized hands the presumption is that
1t was improperly taken, 1t Is forbid
den that any rope manufactured for
private use contain the red thread, in
Just the same way that in the United
States the manufacture of paper for
private use containing bits of silk is
forbidden. This paper in the United
States is used for currency purposes
only.-Louisville Herald.

Whe's Got The Money!

At the request OF several County
Superintendents throughout the
State. who have been trying to get
interest-bearing warrants issued for
the money which has been due
from the State for several months,
the Attorney General has decided
that the school teachers did not
belong to the favored class, and
that the school funds can not be
paid in intreest-bearing warrants,
But the money due the teachers has
been used Illegally for other pur-
poses. Il has been pilfered from
