Teaching Filipino Women

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger
Manila, p. I-Most significant in the
scheme of industrial education is the re-
cent establishment of the Philippine
School of Household industries. Two hun
dred women from different parts of the
islands were brought together at Manila,
shown how to adapt their native skill in
embroidery and lace-making to the de-
mandS of foreign markets, and then sent
back to their homes to form centers of
industrial progress in their own COM
munities. The government has estab-
lished a sales agency to dispose of the
commodities thus produced, and so far the
demand has greatly exceeded the supply.
One Filipino woman who was trained in
the new school, has 500 women working
under her, and Is receiving from firms
in the United States orders for thousands
of embroidered shirtwaists and hand
kerchiefs. The beautiful pima cloth, made
from pineapple is one product to which
special attention is paid. Before the
Americans came this cloth sold for from
IL to so cents a yard; the demand for
it is now such that it brings from 81 90
to 50 a yard.
"rhe hardest thing American teachers
in the Philippines have to contend-vith, ,"
says Mr.. Muerman, lis the American
spirit OF hustle and buStle. The Amer
ican is in too much haste. He wants
to get everything done at once. He tries
to overturn In a few weeks the traditions
of centuries. And yet, coming into a
country where the ideal tends to be that
of manana-never do today what you
can by any possibility put off till tomor-
row-he has really made astonishing
headway in Transforming the Philippines
into country of today, where things
move with something like American hur-
ry. The old folk shake their heads and
sigh for the good old times, but the
young people, boys and girls alike, are
glad to take advantage of the more eff
cient methods. They play American
games and accept the educational op-
portunities offered them with equal adapt
ability, and it is through them that the
new Filipino civilization is making it's
way irresistibly.

Hoarded Gold in India

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Few people realize the extent to which,
gold is boarded in India or the strange
uses TO which it is put.
Tho bulk of the boarded wealth in lndia
is buried, so that at the present time
nearly all the gold dug from the earth
in South Africa is by a fresh digging
opera tion deposited again beneath the soil
in south Asia. It seems particularly as
s1med that the total imports OF gold tn
India during 1912 are not only fresh
record, but will attain a total not less
than s1s9, Oo,0Oo or IS per cent OF the
worlds output.
CONSUMPTION of gold does not imply in
the United States or England the actual
of extremely thin gold leaves
for medicinal purposes, but 1t As so taken
in parts of India A frequent form OF
piety is to regild the domes of religious
buildings, and such operation can easily
absorb $4,000 or more. Sovereigns WITH
a shield on the diverse side are In con-
stant request and an inquiry as to the
ultimate use of certain shipments or some
thousands of pounds in English money
revealed the curious fact that raJah
of rococo tastes had imported them 70

passes up through the center OF the
tower so that they whole mass has a
much greater solidity than before The
use of re-enforced concrete allowed of
reducing the thickness of the walls
considerably. and the new construction
now has three quarters the weight of
the old one. For the foundation over
5000 new piles were driven so as to
make it much stronger than before.
The piles uphold q foundation base in
hard stone, and the load upon the
ground is now reduced to AZ tons per
square foot, which is well within safe
limits. The spire, which terminates the
tower and is &c feet in height, is well
braced inside by re-enforced concrete
members and rests upon platform
foundation of the same material. Only
the framing for the support of the
bells is of metallic construction. The
elasticity of this part, as well as the
greater flexibility OF the whole edi-
flee. is counted upon to- reduce the
oscillations of the tower upon the
foundations due TO the effect the wind
and also the vibrations caused by the
bells. 1t is thought that these effects
played large part in the destruction
of the former tower, and that they will
now be overcome TO great degree. On
the whole, the builders used great pains
not only to keep the outside appear
ance of the tower as nearly like the
old one as possible, but to redesign
the body of the construction on the
most modern principles in order to
obtain the greatest possible strength.
and thus diminish the likelihood of any
similar accidents in the future.

Condition of Crops

Chicago. March 29.-FaTorable weather
and reports of the excellent condition of
wheat crops in the winter wheat belt Off
set today higher cables and fears that
damage to the crop in the Ohio and In
diana flood district would be great. The
effect was to make the range of prices
narrow. The market closed steady,
1sc lower to 1sc higher. Corn finished with
net gain of 1-1eqasc; oats with similar
net advance and provisions shade lower
to 7iac higher.
Reports that flood damage, to growing
wheat in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Ken
lucky would be at least 10 per cent caused
a good early demand. and the market
opened strong and active, but under ready
selling soon eased off.
Later reports from the flood country aid
ed in keeping the price advance in check,
1t being held by some investigators the
damage to wheat was confined to narrow
strips, and was more than counterbal-
anced by the benefit from moisture on the
uplands.
Primary receipts of wheat were $4,000
bushels, against $4,000 bushels last year.
Statistics on seaboard clearances of
wheat and flour were not completed
Business in corn today was confined
largely to local dealers. Though the tone
of the market was dull, light shipments
kept prices firm. Buying of oats by ele-
vator interests was the feature of that
cereal.
After firmer feeling in provisions. ow-
ing to a light run of hogs, prices eased
off on little liquidation.

New Orleans, March 29-The cotton

The "Gouffre' of Hayti
From an Exchange.

L ipli du EAtHduSe
Earthquake sounds have been variously
described and might be expected to differ
widely according to circumstances and To-
cality. The Island of TIaytI which is
situated in neighborhood where the
earth is in a continual state of tremor, is
visited by a peculiar earthquake sound
which is locally called the ''gouffre,'' and
Semestriel of the Port au Prince meteoro-
logical observatory.
The region of the "gouffre' is in the
mountain range of La Selle, which is
1000 feet high, and which, unstable STILL
gives much evidence of past volcanic ac-
tivity. The sounds are apparently the
same as those accompanying noticeable
earthquakes, and the name "gouffre' is
applied to both.
Its noise extends sometimes over periods
of weeks and the vicar of Croix des Bou-
quets, 15 miles north of the mountain
range, gives the following description of
it: During the day the sound was heard
from the southeast and seemed to come
from a great depth. 1t was like deep
roaring and then at times like the howl
ing of dog From time to time 1t stopped
with hollow boom which might be taken
for distant cannon shot.
During the night it was different, all
though the sound came from a different
direction; there was a perfect tumult,
rumbling of thunder, bowling and a
sound like the rushing of strong wind.
There was no wind, however. Sometimes
one heard all the noises at once. Gen.
,erally, and above all, from to 10 o'clock
at night, the sound ended with loud de-
tonation much stronger than In the day,
Than o;,,
would be heard an outburst that cannot
he imagined. 1t was as il a mountain
of glass were shattered and the noise
echoed in all directions. At times it
seemed as If one could hear the roar of
surf. or even the dead thud of objects
falling, such as blocks of stone rolling
down precipices."

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, March 29.--(Special)-
on profit-taking in Liverpool that
market only advanced some 2 or 3
points. This was rather disappointing
so we opened at slight decline.
1t was soon evident. however, that
the better feeling in European financial
markets was slowly clearing pessi-
mistic temper Also that the pur-
chases by Liverpool of May and July
In this market during the past months
which would permit of the shipment OF
our entire stock abroad at small
profit had absorbed the contracts which
have been sold here in anticipation
OF a decline in spot cotton, which has
not come. This market was below any
market In the world and Is still.
The short interest is larger than ex-
pected as shown in March and has
made no effort to bring cotton here
to deliver on it's sales. Spinners here
and in Europe have also waited for
that predicted decline and remained out
of the market three months.

The New Companile at Venice

From the Scientific American.
The new campanile of Venice shows
some interesting points of construc-
tion. When it was decided to rebuild
it. the principal question was to pro-
vide against repetition of the catas-
trophe which befell the original tower
1t is known that Venice, constructed
as it is upon the lagoons, gives a very
defective foundation soil, and this ap-
pears to be the reason why the old
companile fell down, owing to the over
loading of the foundations. In fact
the tower had $50 feet height and
over $4,000 tons weight, and gave a
pressure of 10 tons per square foot
upon its foundations and at the same
time tightening the weight of the con-
struction by another method of build
ing, also by consolidating the different
parts of the tower so that there is
no danger OF dislocation. Re-enforced
concrete came in very well to carry
out these ideas and 1t enabled the en-
gineers to give more space to the in
terror WITHOUT changing the outside
appearance I'm the least The side walls
are now very well Joined together by

ACTIVITY NOTED
IN COTTON MARKET
Gain of 29 Points on March.
4 to 8 Points in Other
Positions

New York, March 29--The cotton
market was active today and presented
a somewhat excited appearance owing
to rush of belated March shorts to
cover and an advance of nearly so
points in the price of that delivery.
Later months were also steady to firm,
and the market closed steady at a net
gain of % points on March and of
to points in other positions.
Tho opening was steady at un-
changed prices to decline of points
being influenced by somewhat disap-
pointing cables, a fairly good weather
map and private predictions that the
low area in the northwest would move
directly eastward instead of working
down into the belt The strength of
late yesterday. which had resulted
from rather aggressive support by
leading trade interests and which also
had suggested the presence of con-
siderable March short interest, tended
to restrict offerings, however. and
March began to advance shortly after
the call. Perhaps not more than 10000
or $4,000 bales of March changed hands,
but there were only few sellers and
the price went up several points be-
tween transactions. In the Fate trading
there were sales at 12.76c, or 2S points
above the closing figures of yesterday
and fully 20 points, or $3.50 per bale,
above the low point of the month.
March closed within a point of the
best and it was pointed out that il
there was still any short interest out
standing it had only until noon on Mon
day in which to finally adjust commit
ments. Reports of rapidly rising water
in the Mississippi at Memphis and the
eastern belt forecast for showers in
parts of the eastern belt tomorrow
probably contributed to the advance
which carried May and later positions
of about 7 to 10 points net higher
Realizing caused reactions of only a
point or two in the late trading.

The Strangers Cold
he T,Ondon Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle
The inha bitants of st. Kilda regard the
landing of strangers as fraught with dan
ger to their health. John Sands. who
3, odd years ago spent some months in
ST. Kilda, writes that ''the most extra
ordinary complaint that visits the island
is called the strangers cold.
"The natives firmly believe that the ar
rival of a boat communicates this disease.
They say that the illness is more severe
when the ship or boat comes from Harris
and that they suffer less when the vessel
comes from Glasgow or London. 1t is
curious that every one caught the dis.
temper when an Austrian vessel visited
the island during my stay there. Not onA
81 Kildan escaped. The symptoms are
a severe headache and pain and stiffness
In the muscles of the jaw. a deep rough
cough and rapid pulse.

KEEN NDEMAND FOR
LEADING STOCKS
Trading Unusually Active
for Saturday-Gains l
to 2 Points

New York, March 29.-The upward
movement in stocks went forward briskly
today.
Trading was unusually active for a
Saturday session, and there was keen de-
mand for all the leading stocks.
The days gains amounted to / to 2
points in many cases.
The rise since the beginning of the week
reached about points for Reading ana
Amalgamated, 4 to 3 points for Union Pa
cific, Smelling. Lehigh Valley and Can,
and 2 to points for long list of other
issues.
The demand for stocks in which a large
short interest is believed to exist was
urgent. This was particularly true of
Reading and Union Pacific. More cheer
full news from the flooded districts and
improved conditions in the money market
also encouraged operations on the long
side. The bank statement made the ex-
pected good showing. The bond market
was unusually irregular.
