CONTEMPLATING FALLS OFF.
Largely Because of Better Business,
Chief Wilkie Admits.

There has been a marked falling Off
in the counterfeiting of money recent
ly, but government officers charged
with the detection and suppression Of
this form of crime are willing to con-
cede that the improved condition is not
due entirely TO their activity.
John Z. Wilkie, chief Of the United
States secret service, said that the
prosperous state Of the country was
responsible mainly for the decrease in
the amount Of work that the agents
of the service are called on TO perform.
Whenever the country is prosper
Gus crime is less" said Chief Wilkie,
land this rule, which has been demon
strated by years of experience, applies
as much to counterfeitlng as to other
offenses against the laws. Prosperity
means that work is plentiful and en-
ployment easy to obtain. Many per-
sons Of criminal tendencies prefer to
get money honestly"
The decrease in counterfeltlng be-
came noticeable about eighteen months
ago, according to Mr.. Wllkie. Last
year about 400 cases of counterfeiting
were Investigated, while this year
there probably will be less than 800,
an unusually small number.

NEW GLACIAL PHENOMENON
Discovered at Fort Frederick, Near
Crown Point, N. Y.


a phenomenon that is thought to be
of glacial origin has just been discov-
cred on Fort Frederick grounds near
Crown Point, n. Y. 1t is an immense
cavity In a limestone formation that
was apparently bored by the forces Of
nature centuries ago.
The pit, which is a huge bowl in
shape and fifteen feet In depth by nine
feet in diameter, was first noticed by
workmen in the employ Of Mrs. Frank
S. Witherbee, who gave the grounds to
the state. The men were eXcavatmg
for supposed secret tunnel from the
fort TO Lake Champlain when their at
tention was drawn to the pit
Amateur biologists and others who
have seen the phenomenon are certain
that the cavity was formed during the
glacial period. The fact that the hole
is entirely smooth and that at its bot
tom rested a large granite bowlder
until 1t was blasted out is proof, they
say. that II was not the work OF man.

nerative occupation. There were al
ready in the Philippines young women
who had learned embroidery and lace.
making in the converts under the
Spanish regime. Furthermore. because
of their great natural aptitude for such
work and because of their patience
and delicacy of execution the Fill
pino women are considered among the
most skillful workers in the world in
these arts, their products being classed
by experts as even superior to those Of
the French and the Swiss.
The schools are therefore working on
sure ground in teaching lacemaking
and embroidery. and they have ascer-
tained that the demand for the kind
of work their children can turn out Is
practically unlimited. In an effort to
increase the available supply of teach
ers for the work courses in lacemak-
ing and embroidery have been offered
in the Philippine Normal school since
1910 and also in the various vacation
assemblies Of teachers.
Some Statistics.
The first thing a Filipino girl does in
the sewing class in school is to make
for herself a complete outfit Of cloth
ing. This work she usually begins in
the second grade. but sometimes in the
first or third Armed with an en-
broidery frame and other apparatus Gn
most cases made by the boys in the
III. s,,
ficiency through the various grades,
hemming and embroidering cotton
squares, fine linen, handkerchiefs,
waists, and so on. The more expert
girls turn out masterpieces in French
net and embroidery. In lace they
make all varieties of pillow lace" in
Guiding "torchon" Spanish lace), NAL
tese. Ceylon or Indian, Irish crochet,
etc. Battenberg is also made for To-
cal use, but it is not encouraged for
export, because the japanese can make
it more Cheaply.
An idea of the extent of Industrial
education IN the Philippines may be
gained from the fact that nearly 400,-
600 school pupils are engaged in some
kind Of industrial work. For the past
four years Industrial instruction has
been prescribed in the primary course
for both boys and girls, and the work
is Systematically carried on in an ad-
yanced stage in the intermediate
schools. Twenty-six we'll equipped
trade schools have been established in
Manila and the various provinces.
There is a college of agriculture at Los
Banos, and a college of engineering
has been added to the University of
the Philippines.
The Filipinos take to the educational
program, industrial and otherwise,
quickly and prOfitably, and the civil
government finds its duties much less
onerOus now that the military invasion
of the islands has been superseded by
the educational.
