Laguspi with six Augustinfaur and a handful of soldiers accomplished the wonderful work of conquest, Without gread for gold and without may exbis bition of cruelty or vers:cution, these devoted men laboured among the docile people darli they won their confidence, so that the islands were scixed with tile bloodshed and no mas- sacre or depopulation. The name "Islas Filipas" was given by Legaspi in 1567. Con- tests with frostler rabelitoas tribes, "attacks by pirales, earthqukes and typhoons serve to brosk up the monotony of an otherwise uneventfol history. Maalla was captured by the English under Deaper and Cornish in 1752, and ran- romed for 5,000,000 but was raitored in 1764. The present insurrecitons to the Islands were pai down with an iron hand and many airocities were committed, so that it is little wonder ihat | many of the inhabitants look upon the arrival of the Americano as a deliverance.

The Philippines are also notorious for tanible typhoons. In 1876 one of these storms burst ever Luzon, pouring down the sides of the mountala Mayoo, bringing destruction to a zamber of cities, completely ruining 6,000 houses. Typhoons on the coast are also sommon. The third great cril to which the islands are treated is the earthquakes, which weit them so frequenly that they affect the style adopted in the erection of buildings. The most violent earthquake occurred la 1880, destroying aa immense amount of property, lecluding the is having three seasons-a cold, a hot and a wet. cathedral.

The winds are northerly and woollen clothing and a fire are desirable, the sky in clear and the air bracing, and Europeans in this strange.clime consider it the pleasantest time of the year.
