Gifts for Flllplno Trlbesmen.

While travelling around among these
people of the mountains the giving OF
presents enters great deal into the
methods Of treating with them. AS a
rule the gifts which are acceptable are
mere trifies. Among the Ifugaos Gus
tom formerly required them to wear
in the hair a white ROSTERS feather
on fiesta days. More recently q strip
Of onion skin tissue paper an inch
wide has been introduced, and 1t Is
now the universal present from the
secretary on his visit. These papers
are worn as a sign Of holiday. and
after the fiesta is over they are care
fully preserved till another occasion
calls them forth. The Ilongots and
Calingas like beads, and a common
bead of imitation agate which Is worth
a few centavos in Manila has its
value enhanced till it is worth 80 CEN
tavos in the hills. Scarlet cloth Is
also acceptable to the Ifugaos and
Ilongots. One Of the very highest
prizes Of all Is the pearl oyster shell,
and several Of these are always taken
along. A great deal Of discretion must
be exercised in giving such presents,
so as not to cheaper them, nor to
place them in the hands of the wrong
people.-Manila Times.

Gravity and other Agencies Arc at
Work In Bringing Stars
Together.

There Is good reason to believe that
the bodies in space-both luminous
and dead-occasionally fall together,
and his conception Of such an event
was given by Prof. A. w. Bickerton
in a late Royal Institution lecture.
The collisions do not come at ram
dom. Gravity and other agencies are
at work, and before two suns collide
they come into each others influence
for hundreds OF years, being drawn
towards each other with constantly In
creasing speed. AS the velocity would
be proportionate to size. the collision
would take place in the same time
about three-fourths Of an hour-for all
bodies. With the collision the two

Heard the Same Sound Twice.

In the New York Telephone Review
is striking illustration Of the speed
with which sound travels over tele-
phone wires as compared with the
speed with which it travels through
the atmosphere. The manager of a
large manufacturing plant in Paterson,
N. j.. was standing at the telephone
in his residence. which is about two
miles from his factory, speaking with
the superintendent of the works when
the whistle of the factory blew for
o'clock. The sound came to him very
distinctly over the wire. lasting about
FIVE seconds. then ceased. and few
seconds later the same sound Of the
whistle blowing came to him through
an open window near which he was
standing, this time coming via the
slower route-the sound waves Of the
atmosphere. He thus actually heard
the same sound twice.

The Golf Balls Story

Evolution has played a great part In
the history Of the golf ball. The first
balls mentioned In the chronicles of
the game were made from leather and
feathers. A double handful of feath.
ers was steamed and packed into
small case of leather. The case was
then sewed up and painted white. and
the feathers in drying expanded and
gave the ball resiliency. The next
ball was composed of solid gutta
percha. but it was heavy. unreliable
and was for a time abandoned. One
day. however. player noticed a cad
die putting up creditable game with
one of these balls and on closer in
spection found that it was very much
cut about. Realizing that these cuts
and gashes probably accounted for the
line flight OF the ball. he commenced
nammering gutta percha. and this was
the origin OF the hand hammered ball.
After time molds were constructed.
and balls were produced with the
square marking Then came the ball
with the rubber core. which gives
elasticity, and this type still remains.

Australia Fond of Lawn Tennis,

A report of the Australasian tennis
championship held at Melbourne in con
junction with the Victoria champion
ship tourney furnished surprising in
formation. This joint tournament was
finished the first week i'll December.
when the finals of sixteen different
events were contested
In Newport last year at the United
States national championship tourna-
ment POP entries required 200 matches.
and in consequence the American au-
thorities are worried on account Of it's
unwieldiness and a movement is now
on foot to limit the number Of COM
petitors, but in 1910 the Austraasian
championship required 357 matches,
and last season the number exceeded
400. This shows the tremendous hold
the game has on the sport loving PEG
pie of that country.
