IT WONT DO THE FILIPINOS
MUCH GOOD, •.
Curtainly one good result," says The Western Electrician, "grows out of the occupa- tion of the Philippine Islands by the Americans, the extension of electrical means of communica tion. When Spain turned the islands over to the United States there were about 1800 n of telegraph lines in the archipelago, and it is estimated that within a year the total length of wire in operation will be fully 5,000 miles. New lines are building in Luzon and on the islands in the southern part of the archipelago. The latest reports from Manila show that there are being handled by the Signal Corps in Luzon alone an average of 4,000 messages daily, and as new territory is occupied the work corres- pondingly increases."
FOOD FOR BOLDIERS IN GERMANY,
U.S. Consul-General Guember writes from Frankfort, March 12 1900: On March 9, the first fatallion of the 17th Regiment commenced an eight days march for the purpose of deter: nining the active value of egg crackers recently manufacture by a firm in Mainz. The crackers are distributed in place of bread; the prese ves contain meat and vegetables boiled together, and can be made ready for consump. sion in from to to 15 tainutes. The marching| exercises cover at first 30 kilometers (184 miles) per day and are gradually increased Officers as well as men are not allowed to partake of anything except the rations furnished. The baracks in which they will pass the night are closely watched, su as to prevent the smuggling in of other food.

Us. Consul Hughes, of Coburg, on March 7th 1900, quests from a trade journal the state. iment that the length of electric lines in Ger- many shows an increase of 45 pur cent over last year, the available power has gone up 37 ser dent, and the growth of accumulator instalirown, Cal. F. lations is represented by the figure of 164 per
cent
The tramway accumulators now aggte gate almost exactly fourth of the dynamo power of the power stations; yet there are very few pure accumulator lines. Overhead cam ductors continuedy predominate. Apart from the two pioneer lines of Siemens and Halske, at Berlin and Frankirt, of the years 1881. all the electric roads have been built within the last nine years. The total length is 1.274 miles. Most lines have only a single track, which is made feasible by die almost universal practice of stopping at certain points only. The gas utile at Dessin, which was considered so successful, will adopt electricity during the raming sumuner.
GERMAN DEMAND FOR COAL.
--
U.S. Vice-Consul-General - Hanauer; ol Frankfort, on April 10,1900, reports that a reputable cal dealer of that city (who supplies one of the largest chemical ficturies in the vicinity) has just called on him in order to lear the names of standard coal companies in the. United States. He says his firm wants-i prices and quality and coal are suitable-a contract for 500,000 tons for the next twelve months. He also states that the production of Germany in this line is short of the demand this year by 4,000,000 tons.

BUBONIC PLAGUE IN THE BIBLE. Drumann, Į.
The earliest record of bubonic plague has generally been dated 300 B.C. Drs. F. Tidswell and J.A. Dick have, however, nccording to Nature (March 27), recently brought evidence before the Royal Society of New South Wales toshow that the epidemic of 111 B.C, described in the first Book of Samuel (chapa, iv-vi), was true bubonic plague. "After the Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant and taken it to Ashdod, severe illness broke out among the people. The hand of the Lord was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and He destroyed them and smote them with emerods." The Ark was afterwards taken to Ekron, and here again we are told There was a deadly destruction fluoughout all the city. and the men that died not were smitten with the emerods, and the cry of the city went up to Heaven. The word 'emerod has usually been taken 10 mean hemorrhoids, bn in the revised version of the Old Testament, it is stated to mean Jumor or plague boil. The epidemic in Philis- tia occurred at the time of the regular plague season, and mice are mentioned in connection with it, which furnishes additional evidence that the epidemic was plague, for a connection between the death rats and plague at Bombay and elsewhere has been clearly established. Taking all the facts into consideration there appears to be contained in the few chapters of Samuel an account of an epidemic of bubonic plague that occurred more than three thousand years ago, or more than eight hundred years previous to the hitherto accepted historic
record.

MINERAL WEALTH OF CANADA. | George,
According to a report issued by the geological survey the mineral output of Canada for the year 1899 is placed at $47,090,000. Of this sum, gold in the larges: factor, the total being. $21,049,000, and of which the Yukon con- tributed $16,000,000. Coal is the next item of importance, the production for the year 1899 $9,440,000. Since 1896, the mineral production of Canada has well-nigh doubled in value. The production of other minerals was Iron, $248.372; lead, $977,250; nickel, $2.067,840; platinum, $835 silver, $1,834.37.
Of the chief contributors to the total mineral production of the country, lead and silver are the only two showing a considerable falling off, and that notwithstanding more favourable prices. This is due to local causes in British Columbia not dependent on the value of the deposits.
