COMPLAINTS are fairly rife among the

great undertaking is commenced, such for instance as the construction of large docks, it is not infrequently stated that success will not be achieved until children have bee thrown into the water to appease the devil who is playing the mischief th the foundations. Consequently when a child disappears from that locality, the parents invariably refrain from making inquiries because the "people say the devil has taken it." Thus the people's superstition te exploited by these nefarious gangs and the practice of kidnapping continues, but we may venture to express the hope that once public attention is directed to the subject the needed reforms will not long be withheld.

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.

A PHILIPPINE PHENOMENON.

In the Hospital of San Juan de Dios, Intra- muros, Manila, there are being cared for in the interesta of science two infant brothers, thirteen

months old, natives of Samar, who were born joined together at the base of the spine but whe live independent lives, having all the organs of the body intact and separate.

The case is one of the rarest that has ever been

The rarity was brought to the attention of the medical college of the University of Santo Tomas and the parents were induced to come to Manila with the children. They have been under observation for some time with the object in view of separating them should it be deter mined that an operation would result advanta geously to each or either.

The children were born in March 1908 in the town of Sukat, Sumar. The mother, Jowle Baidolar, named them Lucio, and Simplicia. They are joined in one mot only, the point of union being but an inch long. As a result of this

It may be said, of course, that with auch a large proportion of Chinese within our borders it is impossible to expect to be free from many of the offences and crimes peculiar to China, and that kidnapping is one of them. The thought is not a pleasant one.
