llWAR AND
< = =John T McCutcheon Philippine cor-
respondent of the Chicago Recordwrites as follows It Is very difficulttvon here In Manila to get a compre-
hensive Idea of the situation In thePhilippines The most we know Is
that our troops nro scattered overevery province In Luzon as well asIn the chief cities of the other Islands
that In Luzon alone there are610 separate garrisons holding cities
villages and strategic points In
the twentyseven provinces of the Isl-
andTile Filipino method of warfare has
changed from their old defiant meth-ods to a new and more Insidious onethat Is as much If not more to boreared
Long before Tarlac was taken Agnlnaldo realized that troops couldnot stand ngalnst ours Even a forcelumorlcally much stronger could beIrlven at will by comparatively smallAinetitan forces This was where dlstlpllne morale and esprit du corpssomblncd to mate the smaller orvastly superior to the larger one
the latter lacked these elementSoon after this discovery which he
seems to have been long In makingho heard that the United States wasgoing to Increase the Philippine armyto about 05000 n force that couldannihilate him If he contested Its
or will He then Issued alongIn October a proclamation advisingmany of his followers to return totheir homes hide their rifles and awaiti call at some future time Othersof his followers were held under armsand directed to begin a guerilla war-fare In the territory held by the Amer-icans at that time or to be held bythem later on
That proclamation which was un-
doubtedly forced by the vigorous cam-
paign Inaugurated nt the time by Gonerals MncArthur1 Lawton Whoatouand Young marked the cud of organized resistance on a large scale Itwill be remembered that Tarlac wastaken without n shot and that ourtroops occupied In turn all the prov-
inces of the north with fewer than adozen tights of any consequence Fromthat time on It became a foot racelifter the demoralized bands that wereleaving time Tarlac lowlands Therewas no established capital no machinery of government no grand army andhalf the cabinet surrendered or werecaptured
Officially the revolution was crushed

but General Concepclon Aguinaldosof stall uttered n dissenting
which as since proved wasprophetic
You think It Is over but It isntTon have now disrupted the army andscattered It far anti wide You havejoins of the lenders In prison and yourtroops occupy the whole north counIry But how many rifles have youcaptured When youve got the armsthen and only thou will the revolution-be over
They have a curlou custom at theFilipino ball All the girls sit In n
one side of tho room and allthe men on the other When n monwants to dance he over acrossthe dead line selects Ms girl and af-
ter dancing delivers her back to herchair He returns to his own sideThere Is no chance for any flirtation
The Filipino girls art not flirtatiousOn great occasions they always scornto bo overwhelmed with n sense ofrigid propriety There are no softbrown eyes coyly glancing or littlehands gently pressing When MissFilipino treads the stately nationalquadrille or whirls lightly to the stirring measures of n quickplayed waltshe dedicates her thoughts and soulto grace and symmetry and completelyforgets those dainty little coquetrieswhich every maiden Is entitled by an-
cient deere to use

to tho shorter tube may be attached-a flexible pipe through which the pur-ified liquid may be drawn
The great advantages of the Hamil-ton filter are Its shape and lightness-In aluminum the entire thing couldbe made to weigh less than two ounces
The Invention which Is both dura-ble and cheap should commend itselfto the military authorities and all Interested In our soldiers

A HOWLING TERROR

A phonoigraj hy tjlt shaAfe soiloudlythat every word can at ndistance of ton miles Has boon testedin Brighton
You can a sentence Into thodiachlnes small funiielBlmlxjd mouth-piece and it will repent It in tonesthat aro more deafening than theshrieks of n liners steam siren Yetvery word Is perfectly articulatedand n shorthand writer ten mllos awaycan take down tho message ns easilyas if you wore dictating to him In nsmall room
The machine Is the Invention of MrHorace L Short of Brighton In ppoarance It Is merely an ordinary pho-
nograph with a large trumpet meas-uring four foot In length Inside thistrumpet there Is a small and delicatepiece of mechanism that looks
like a whistle This Is the tongueof the machine
Instead of the records being takenon wax In the usual nmunera sapphireneedle is made to cut the dots rep-resenting the sound vibrations on nsliver cylinder and when the needltravels over the metal a second timetho vibrations cause the whistle toproduce n series of nil waves and themachine thus becomes a talking sirenwhich transforms the human voice Into n deafening roar
The experiments were made nearthe Devils Dyke Brighton where theInventor has his workshops Time Instrument was placed on the roof ofthe laboratory anti was made to repeatn number of sentences At a distanceof ton miles the founds were plainlyhoard by a largo number of peopleevery word being perfectly dis-tinct and at a second trial with
favorable wind It was foundthat an unknown message couldbe taken down In shorthand at a dis-tance of twelve mills Over tho wa-ter the sounds will carry still furtherthey might be heard by persons on nvessel fifteen miles nt sea Placedon a lighthouse or lightship tho phono-graph would give a verbal warningthat would bo Infinitely moro effectivethan the foghorns and detonators atpresent In use
The possibilities of the machine arcpractically endless It will render loudselections In the open air that can bolistened to by thousands of people orIt will shout news messages that couldbo heard high above the roar of thetraffic and the thousand noises of abig city London Mall
The Wolf of OubbloHow St Francis tnmod time wolf of
Gubbio Is the most famous If not al-
together the most credible of the anlmill stories related of him The wolfwas a quadruped without morals notonly had he eaten kids but also mollAll attempts to kill him failed antithe townsfolk were afraid of venturingoutside the walls even In broad day-light One day St Francis againstthe advice of nil wont out to Lure aserious talk with tho wolf Ho soonfound him and Brother Wolf hosaid you have eaten not only ani-mals but men made In the Imago ofGod mind certainly you deserve thegallows nevertheless I wish to makepeace between you mind these peopleBrother Wolf so that you may offendthem no more and neither they northeir dogs shall attack you Timewolf seemed to ngree but the saintwished to have a distinct proof of hissolemn engagement to fulfill his partIn the peace whereupon tho wolf stocdup on his hind legs and laid his pawon the saints trend Francis thenpromised that the wolf should beproperly fed for the rest of his days
for well I know ho said kindlythat all your evil deeds were caused
by hunger upon which text severalsermons might bo preached for trulymany n sinner may be reformed bya good dinner and by nothing elserime contract was kept on both stiesand time wolf lived happily for twoyears at time end of which ho tIled ofold age sincerely mourned by all thoInhabitants Contemporary Review
