Manila, is more cosmopolitan than New

Spaniards. Germans. Americans, Eng

Manilawan more cosmopolitan is that
the foreigners retain their native dress

can get pretty much anything in the
way of merchandise. The old or walled
city is on the other side of the Passig

are numerous. Street cars go every

VIRGINIA MICA IS

f. A. Schubert the mineralogist of
the Norfolk and Western Railway, has
been Investigating mica deposits in
Virginia along the lines OF that rail-

The mica industry is one of grow
ing Importance. This valuable mineral
is required in increasing amount In
keeping with the rapid application OF
electrical energy, whether for power
light or such other purposes 10 which
1t may be adapted. Thirty years ago
the amount of mica required in manu-
facture and art was very limited Now
it is an industry the extent OF which
Is measured In hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars, and increasing annually
"The first mica mined In the United
States came from New England, but
the quantity and quality both were
deficient This led to new explorations
and the transfer Of the major portion
of the industry to North Carolina, in
which State nearly one-half OF the en-
tire amount consumed is being mined
