BILL TO DEVELOP
 OIL LANDS FAILS

 Efforts of the navy department to se- cure an amendment providing that all proceeds of oil developed in reserve lands known as naval petroleum reserves, be set aside for the use of the navy, de- veloped opposition which defeated the ef- fort to pass the bill.

For Study Of Tropical pisea

Recently the foundation-stone of the
new School Of Tropical Medicine at
Calcutta was laid by the governor Of
Bengal. The government of India pro-
vided $195,00O for the site and labora-
tory and is to contribute for the up
keep OF the school. The Institution
is unique in the tropics. The spe-
cial work Of the laboratory will be
to investigate on practical lines the
causes of tropical diseases in the Cal
cutta hospitals, with view to find
ing more accurate methods of diagno-
sis and improved treatment. Tropi-
cal diseases cause over one-third of
the deaths in Calcutta, and at least
large proportion in India as whole.
and the possibilities of carrying out
practically important investigations
of such diseases will be limited only
by the amount Of financial support az
forded the new institution. The insti-
tute will accept students from all
over the world.

NOT LACKING IN sHREWDNEss
Ignorant Moro Ruler Quick-vNitted
Enough to Devise Clever Scheme
to "Save His Face"

The Moro lords Of the Island Of
Mindanao in the Philippines-they
are called datos although nearer saw
ages than barbarians, do not want ma
tive wit and shrewdness. A young
lieutenant who has seen service there
tells the following incident, which
shows how clever one Of them was
in concealing his Ignorance:
Some of the retainers of old Dato
Mundi, who lorded it over a few hun
dred fuzzy-headed, bolo-chopping ma
tives in the Mindanao hills back OF
one OF the army stations, sneaked
down one dark night and stole half a
dozen cavalry horses from the corral.
The commanding colonel much in
censed at the theft, had some native
crackers trail the horses to the very
village where the old dato held his
primitive court. Forthwith he sent
the young lieutenant, with a formid-
able escort Of khaki-clad troopers, to
bear letter to the dato that demand
ed instant restitution Of the horses
under penalty Of immediate war. A
half-breed interpreter went along with
the party.
The lieutenant found the dato, who
had word of his coming, seated in sol
emn state. He wore a gown of angry
turkey.red calico, while scores OF
cockatoo feathers bristled in his wool.
Heavy rings cleaned on his fingers
and toes. Around him were ranked .
score of his warriors.
The interpreter translated the let
ter. The dato, who could not read or
write "a word in any language, took
the sheet from his hand and gazed
long and frowningly upon 1t.
WELL" said the lieutenant, growing
restless. for he was fully aware Of
the Moro's complete lack Of educa-
ton, ASK him what his answer is"
The interpreter translated this;
whereupon the dato seized . piece Of
charcoal from the open fire and, maxi
ing number Of marks upon the back
Of the letter, returned 1t to the lieu
tenant in solemn silence, while his
warriors looked on, struck with adj
miration at their leaders learning.
The lieutenant gazed at the mean
ingless "hen tracks" that the dato had
scrawled across the page, and frowned
in disgust. TELL him." he cried, Inn
patiently, to the interpreter. that
want to know just what this means;
whether we get the horses, or whether
it's war;"
As the hot words were translated to
him, the old dato snatched the letter
from the lieutenant's hand and, seiz-
ing twig that was burned at one
end to live coal, he swiftly punched
three holes through the sheet. Then
he handed 1t back to the officer, drew
himself to his full height. and haugh-
tily detained something in his native
tongue, while his warriors bowed to
the ground in awe.
HE says" translated the interpre-
ter with a smile, ''that he thought
every warrior knew that when one
ruler answers another rulers letter
by writing on the back of 1t, Il means
war; and when he burns three holes
through 1t, it means war twice.
