Developinq the Philippines.

Development Of Philippine natural
resources and the manufacturing and
Industrial plants has hardly started.
Capital and workers are needed and
the markets for both are tight.
About one-third of the total area of
the islands is covered with timber
Practically all Of this Is owned by the
government, which grants concessions
for timber cutting and sawmlls.
There are about fifty sawmills, most
Of them small. Red and white lauan,
the trees 200 feet high, are the princi-
pal wood Of commercial value. The
red Is used as a substitute for ma
hogany. Apitong and guijo are the
next timbers in value.
Woods for varnshes, paper pulp,
perfumery, essential oils, dyes, tan
ming and medicinal purposes grow
wild, but little has been done to make
them commercially valuable.

Nalue of Peat Underestimated

The great continental ice sheet, in
vading North America, left thousands
of lakes in it's path, sprinKled over the
northern states from Minnesota to
Maine. In Minnesota alone there are
10000 lakes and more, which are help
ing to make the North a great sum-
mer playground.
But the interrupted drainage of the
glaciated region gave these states an
other priceless asset, Earl Christmas
writes in the Dearborn Independent.
When great fields Of ice covered the
was providing, by curious paradox, a
way for future generations to keep
warm.
Peat, deposited In these lakes and
marshes in quantities sufficient to
make billions Of tons of fuel, has been
the beneficent gift of the ice sheet to
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, New
York and the New England states.
In the peat boys, scattered over nine
states and parts of dozen others,
there lies one Of the great unde
velOped resources of the nation, now
beginning to attract serious attention
with appreciable diminishing Of the
available. coal supply Of the country.
Only recently have we come to realize
the immensely of these deposits, now
apparently approaching development as

Pooling the PoinSettia.

The florists were long puzzled by
the problem of bringing all their poin-
settia plants to full bloom for the
holiday season. In time a solution was
offered by DR.. W. W. Gardner and II,
H. AIlard of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, who discov-
cred that by regulating the amount OF
light which was allowed to reach the
plants, the bloSSoming date could be
speeded or retarded at pleasure. If
the sunshine is allowed to fall upon
the young poinSettia only few hours
each day, it evidently takes the lack
of light for the approach of the short
est day and puts all its efforts into
blooming before the end of the year

KEEPING UP HISTORIC HOMES
New ENGLAND Societies Doing Good
Service in Saving Famous Build
inus for Posterity.

The Swampscott (Mass) Historical
society has undertaken the happy en-
terprise of trying to save for pos
terity the John Humphrey house,
which, as nearly as can be determined,
has been standing in that town near
the shores of Massachusetts bay for
2S4 years. If the date of its building
can be fixed as of the yer 1851
some students believe it dates from
1854 ~then the John Humphrey house
will be recognized as the oldest In
New England antedating the Fair
banks house in Dedham by one year.
The Historical society has had the
title traced and a copy of an old map
made from the original in the British
museum. These go to show the struc-
ture it proposes to buy and preserve
is the one dwelt in by Humphrey, who
was assistant to Governor Winthrop.
Some doubt has been expressed as TO
whether the building is the original
house, q question having been raised
as to the probability of fire having
destroyed that structure The final
test of this is to be made through the
famous elm tree which, until last year,
when it was blown down in a storm,
stood in front of the house. The
rings of the elm trunk are to be
| counted by the best authority avail
| able If this should prove the tree to
| be at least $50 years old the His
tOrical society will feel it has proved
| it's case, for the elm stood so close to
the Humphrey house it could not have
escaped a fire destroying that struc-
ture
When it is saved this house will be
the third of such interesting struc-
lures preserved by historical societies
and their friends within recent
months. The others are the Harrison
Gray Otis house standing at the cor
ner of Lynde and Cambridge streets
in Boston, which has been practically
restored by the Society for the Pres
ervatiOn of New England Antiquities,
and General KnoX's headquarters at
Wallis Gate, in Orange county about
four miles southwest of NeWhurgh
Dating from 1854 this stone and
wooden structure is rich in memories
of the Revolution and of such distin-
guiShed Americans as Washington
Greene, Gates and the FrenchmeI
ROchambeau and Lafayette. The
Knox Headquarters association pro
poses to make of this structure q his
tOrical museum.

Death by Handing.

In answer to a physician who asks
what is the cause of death in hanging,
i;ourna. says that if the knot be prop
erly adjusted, instant death from
breaking the spinal cord is produced,
but in a majority of cases asphyxia-
ton is tie cause of death. In this the
man may retain consciousness for from
and may retain life for from Is to 20

Chinese Moon Feast.

The moon Of falling leaves takes a
prominent place III the mid-autumnal
festival celebrated in the Flowery King
dom, according to a writer in the
North China Herald. Under resplend-
ent moon, accompanied by offerings
of fruit, the ceremony is widely cele-
brated. There are feasts and rejoic-
ing which reach traditional height at
midnight, the hour for worshiping the
moon. The very poorest have their
moon cake, a -delicacy obtainable only
at this time of the year. There are
lighted lanterns attached to poles on
the roofs, and fire balloons with strings
of crackers ara dispatched aloft.

A Swiss inventor has devised
gramophone which plays thread rec
ords instead of the modern hard rub
Der ones. In his machine q thousand
yards Of thread, enough to fill small
spool, may be played, giving more mu-
sic than the largest hard rubber rec
ord made today.
The thread is ordinary thread treat
ed with a coat of specially prepared
composition that Is very sensitive to
sound when 1t becomes hard. 1t Is not
affected by temperature, nor does 1t
require any special care. Thus 1t Is
both inexpensive and durable.

Bird Songs at Pairing Season.

The tender emotions of the pairing
season urge almost all birds, however
unproficient in minstrelsy, to become
troubadours for the time being-even
from such birds as sandpipers, stints,
and others, the season calls forth a
tribute of song. This often takes the
form of a trill executed as the bird
descends through the air, with wings
appraised and trembling.
