lust as the chin gives qualities to
the fact, so the thumb marks the
personality of the hand and is an un.
erring index to a mans natural
strength or weakness of character.
The man with a long, straight
thumb, square at the tip, possesses
good mental capacity, and can always
be relied upon to carry out success
fully any work with which he may
be intrusted. His temperament is
even and judicial; he is a born gov
ernor of men, overcomes difficulties,
carries himself with dignity, and by
his ability to concentrate all his fac
rapidly becomes a power among his
ulties upon the matter in hand, com
bined with his tenacity of purpose,
fellows.
If the thumbs be long. thick and
heavy at the tip, with the joints
prominent, a tycannical and cruel ma
ture is indica.ed everything being
viewed from an intensely selfish
standpoint. A short, straight thumb
shows obstinacy and driving power
If thick and heavy at the tip, brut-
ish, unreasoning disposition will be
noticed.
A short thumb, tapering at the
tip denotes an inconstant, change
able nature, particularly in matters
of the affections. A man with Ia
pering thumb cannot concentrate, and
has consequently little continuity, in
addition to being unpunctual and an
able to work except in spurts. Such
a man takes up many things, but
finishes nothing properly, and often
makes others suffer from his inde-
cision. If the thumb lies close TO
the hand, a cautious, timid. mean ma
ture is indicated If the thumb
curves outward at the tip, adapta-
bility TO people and circumstances is
shown, accompanied by natural po-
lteness and a tendency to make com
pliments. The owner is broad-mind-

cent shales suggested that the wood
grew near the place where it was now
found. 1t was difficult, he said, to
imagine any spot in the world more
fascinating from the point of view OF
geology, paleontology and many allied
sciences.
The problem of how trees like mod
ern forests could flourish within 900
geographical miles of the south pole
itself, which now for five months of
the year was almost in total darkness,
was, said the professor, one which
involved the question of whether, If
the position of the earth's axis of ro-
tation had remained constant through
cut geological time, the continents
might not have crept horizontally
over considerable distances.

Professor David.
The possibility of a gold reef ex-

Powers of Legislation.

THE legislature is given authority
to legislate as to affairs of the is
lands, except that it can not pass
laws affecting tpade relations with
the United States and can not pass
any tariff or currency act, nor any
act disposing of public lands, without
first obtaining presidential approval.
As an additional safeguard, the right
of congress to annul any act of the
Philippine legislature is expressly re-
served.
"A permanent bureau to give gen
eral supervision over the non-Chris-
tian tribes is provided.
THE right to vote is confined to
the citizens of the islands, and the
educational qualifications of the pres
ent law is enlarged. The two resi-
dent commissioners to the United
States, now elected by the legisla-
ture, would be elected by popular
vote"
Resident Commissioner Quezeon
gave the bill his approval tonight.
"The bill" he said, represents far
less than ought to have been consid-
cred, but it is a step in the right di-
rection. do not regard this bill
as a finality."

Washington, July 12.-An admins
tration-approved plan for a more au'
tonomous Philippine government, as
another step toward independence,
was laid before congress yesterday
when Representative Jones of Nir-
ginia introduced a bill covering the
subject. Mr.. Jones is chairman of
the house insular committee, and his
measure, declaring the purpose of the
United States as to the future politi-
cal status of the Filipinoes, follows
long series of conferences with
President Wilson, Secretary Garri-
son, Manuel Quezon, Philippine Resi-
dent Commissioner to the United
States, and democratic members OF
the insular committee, all of whom
informally have approved it.
Supporters OF the measure do not
expect it to get favorable action by
congress at this session. President
Wilson has examined the bill careful
ly and Secretary Garrison strongly
favors it's enactment 1t is designed
to carry out declarations of the Bal

No Date for independence.

pines.
No Date fer independence.
The bill makes no attempt to fix
date for Philippine independence,
its preamble recites that it never was
the intention of the people of the
United States in the incipiency of the
war with Spain to make it a war of
conquest or territorial aggrandize-
ment. It asserts that it always has
been their purpose to recognize the
independence of the Philippine Is
lands "as soon as a stable govern
ment could be established therein" "
1t declares it to be desirable to
place in the hands of the Filipinos
as large a part of their affairs as
is consistent with the exercise in the
meantime with the sovereignty by the
United States.
Mr.. Jones, explaining the bill to-
night, said
Generally speaking, the bill pro-
vides for the Philippine Islands the
most liberal form of territorial gov
ernment Its principal features af'
fecting the more important changes
in the existing organic act are those
relating to enlarged powers conferred
on the governor general and the abo
lition of the present Philippine com
mission as such and the substitution
therefor OF a senate, the members OF
which, representing Christian Pro
vinces, shall be elected by popular
vote.
The non-Christian tribes are to be
represented by two senators and nine
representatives, appointed by the
governor general.
The governor general is to ap'
point the heads of the executive de-
partments. The only officials to be
appointed by the president are the
governor general and members Of
the supreme court.
"The governor general is given a
limited power for veto over the acts
of the Legislature, but the president
would have the power of absolute
veto
