Philippine Islands
There are 7,083 islands in the Phil-
ippine group, of which only 2,441 are
named. Total area of the archipelago
4s 115,026 square miles. The Philip-
pines are mountain ranges rising out
of the sea, and the islands are con-
nected with each other and with the
East Indies by submerged mountains.
Part of the land is volcanic in origin
and there are a dozen active volca-
noes. The general trend of the moun-
tain range is from north to south, but
there are innumerable rugged spurs
which cut the larger islands into many
jsolated sections. Coral recfs fringe
the shores, of which there are alto-
gether more than twice as many miles
as on all the coasts of the United
States. In the largest islands there
are a few rivers, but they have rapid
descents and. except near the sea, are
navigable only by rafts.

SR
Shyster Lawyer Had
Overlooked a Point
When Musa Ben Adhem was poor,
as he was crossing a plain one day, he
came to the house of the widew Zai-
gah, who was poor also. Musa
knocked and told the widow of his
hunger, and she gave him two hard
hoiled eggs, all the food she had.
In after years, when Musa Ben Ad-
hem had grown rich, Abdullah, the
shyster lawyer, persuaded the widow
to sue him, net for her two eggs alone,
put for the two chickens which they
would have become, together with all
the chickens’ eggs and offspring, a
vast sum equal to the whole of Muse
Ben Adhem’s fortune.
“Where is the defendant in this
case? Why isn’t he present?” the
judge demanded sternly.
Then the brilliant young corpora-
tion lawyer, Haroun, rose and said ir
his suave voice:
“] represent the defendant, yecur
honor. I have sent him out into the
country to sow baked potatoes.”
“Po sow baked potatoes?”
“Yes, your honor.”
“Why, he must be mad. Yeu must
be mad. The pair of yeu are mad.”
“No, your honor, we are very wise,”
said Haroun in a suaver voice than
ever, “for surely, if boiled eggs can
be hatched, baked potatoes can be
grown.”
The judge laughed heartily. Then
he delivered judgment against Abdul-
lah, the shyster lawyer, with heavy
costs.
Porridge That Makes
for Domestic Felicity
When a hushand begins staying out
late at night and cultivating his crop
of wild oats, the women of the native
tribes in central Africa provide him
with a bit of food considered certain
to bring him back to the paths of
domesticity and preper conduct. The
food must be served without his
knowledge, but, once it has entered
his system, the waman expects him
to be a model husband for all the
years ahead, says the Adventure Mavo-
azine.
The food is a porridge thickened
with meal made from the flesh of
dried lizards. The wife, taking the
lizard, kills it, dries the body in the
sun, pounds it to a fine powder with
stones, then pours into his porridge
the dose the misconduct of her hws-
band appears to require,
She is supposed to serve it to him
when he comes in from hard labor,
is tired and hungry, liable to take the
food and devour it without asking
questions. The dried lizard powder
porridge is the antidote for divorce
court troubles, and is said to work
well among the people there,
People of Mixed Blood
The Melungeons, a race of people
suid to be living in the mountains of
east Tennessee, are supposed to be
an offshoot of the so-called “Croatan
indians” of North Carolina. The name
“Melungeon” is probably from the
French “melange,” meaning mixed.
‘They are of mixed Indian, white and
although
blood occurred centuries ago and the
history of these people is obscure.
The Melungeons, who in general re-
groes and refuse to attend negro
schools and churches. At the same
time they are socially ostracized by
the whites. Although they are as dark
as mulattoes, their hair is straight.
for the most part, the Melungeons
are farmers.—Exchange.
Anglo-Scotch Idiom
rhe way in which Scottish and Eng
ish idioms differ are legion, and any-
one attempting to make an exhaustive
list would probably find the proverbial
three score and ten a span too short
for the task. Sir James Wilson, wha
has been making a study of the dia-
lects of central Scotland, cites as ex-
amples: Whereas an Englishman
“oversleeps himself,” invites a friend
“to tea” and asks: “What will you
take?” a Scot “sleeps in,” invites you
“to your tea” and hospitably inquires:
“What are ye for?”
Radio Reception
The Loomis Radio school says: Gen
erally speaking, signals will come in
loudest from those stations which are
located in the directions toward which
one’s lead-in points, instead of in the
direction pointed to by the free end
of the antenna. Those stations will
be heard next loudest which are
slightly off this line. So far as the
college knows, the direction of the
aerial in regard to the cardinal points
of the compass has very little effect
on radio reception.
Who’s Random?
Twas a hard and bloody battle ai
the pistol range. At last the instruc:
tor called: “Fire at Random!”
After the carnage had ceased one
rreshman still stood with his pistol at
‘ready,” a full clip in it.
“Hey, you!” yelled the instructor.
“Why didn’t you shoot?”
“rm waiting for Random to stick
's head around the parapet.”
Getting and Spending
a familiar adage is, “Easy com
asy go.” This is peculiarly applicabl
o money; the easier money comes,
the easier it goes, and conversely the
narder money comes, the more care
fully is it expended. Only the man
who knows the cost of a dollar, know:
its value,—Grit.
