Barnes pertinently says that "too many people seem to think that anything that is to be cov ered up does not need attention-that is, done simply becanze tcme 'enineer has said that i= thoula be so. The autho'ities seem to doubt whether it pays to put so much mone.y out of sight. What they want iS to spread out the money S3 it will all be in sight of th eir tonstituents, so that when the 'day of re-election comes they can point to a great deal apparently done with little n'oney." This is doubtless one reason why it is so difficult to get roads properly drained. He then goes on to consider what preprrations are necessary foi' pert maneut country toads beforb they re 'ceire the t.toie or other material, and bffers the following suggestions: "The first thing to be done is to employ some competent man to run levels over the entire length of the road intended for improvement, and taking levels at the sides frequently 'enough to find drainage at every available place along the line of the proposed road. Then a careftllf drawn profile should be made; after which the grade liue 'of the road should be carefully studied and drawn on the prdfile. If the ground will ad init of it without too much expense, long stretches of the same rate of grade should be avoided, as it is too hard on the muscles of the draft ani mals when hauling a heavy load. as it admits of a constant and severe strain on them, as can b'! easily seen by the trembling of the muscles After a pull ever these grades. A frequent change in the grades allows some rest on the various parts of the muscles. "Complete specifications should be written, telling in a general, as well as a special, way what is to be done and how to do it. These specifications should be accompanied by any de tailed drawing that may be necessary, such as a plan and cross section, etc., of the proposed road, It will be money in the taxpayers' pockets td have all preliminaries ana the general supervision of the work done by a competent, experienced and practical civil engineer, and not by some pre tender, or some politicia whose only ability lies in his 'pull' with 'the powers that be and 'be' for ii short time onj. "In excavating for the road-bed care shluld be exercise.1 not to plough too deep er t, one side of the outer lines o the Ipropcsed roadway; ii there are depressions in the sub grade, there will be a tendency to make chuek ho!es in the road after a little time, o-ving t. the water ssttling in the places where the dirt has been ent too dceep.

In a recent article Professor WK R. Hoag makes a comparisola of the needs of railways and highways. The; points which they have in common are discussed, and t-h:e fact is brought ont that "each ihas. or should ha'e~ a roadway which will contribut3 most to the safety and economy of its busi ness." He sums up the matter in six points, showing what system the rail-j ways employ, as follows: First A rail Way has cninued i-s.al. kut wheni neec ' From t.

A road supervisor in Northern New York says that it costs the farmers in his section one-half as much to haul their produce three miles to the rail way station as it costs to send it 500 miles by rail after it is placed on the cars. This bad road tax could easily be reduced by one -half.

The population of the islands is e' timated at from eight to ten millions. Excluding foreigners for the moment, we find the natives divided into some. thing like two huidred tribes, cl - with its p4ciliar dialect tund Cistoms. With the single exceptioin of the Ne gritos, these tribes are of Malay ex traction. The Negritos are a race o1 dwarfish blacks, confined at present tc a few of the loftiest i:ountain ranges. They are commonly believed to be the aborigines of the islands. They are a puny, sickly race, and are rapid. ly becoming extinct. The tribes of Mtalay origin vary in their development froni a state of ab soliite savagery to civilization. Extreme poverty is the rule among the divilized natives, and its cause is sound ii the heavy burden of taxation imposed upon them by .their Spanish masters: Every person over eighteen years of age is required to procure annually a credula personal, or docu ment of identification, the charge fu which varies from $1.50 to S25, ac cording to the means of the applicant. Should these sums seem iiisiguificant it must be remembered that the aver age native has little or no opportuiity to work for hire; that if .e does suc ceed in securing employment his wages are often not more than five cents per day and that he is usually unable to dispose of his far"i pro<hict' for cash, being ciompelled to' exbhige tnem for othei~ bonimnodities. In additiou to this persodzal-tax. there is a tax oa c> - toanut trees; d tax on beasts of bur tien; s tax od killing animals for -food. a tax for keepiug a shop, a tax ou ~iills'oil presses, i tax on weights ard niedsures; s tai ofi cock tighting, Kha sdi ori to 'The end of 'the chapter. At every turn the 'poor native linds himself face to -face with the dire nie cessity of paying tributo; and he fre quently spends hie life ifi an ineffect ual effort to meet' the obligations thus imposed. Delinquent taxpayers are' treated with the utmost' severity. The first step is usually to strip them to the waist, tie them to a bench or post, and beat them unmercifully. Women are subjected to, this treatments Should none of these methods prove effective deportation follows, with confiscation of property and the leaving of women and children to shift for themselves. I once saw forty-four men deported from Siquijor because they owed taxes varying in amount from two to forty dollars. I was infornied that they would be allowed to return to theii families, -if they 'could find them, after working out the amount of their several debt.s. The wages allowed them were to be six cents 'per day. Board was tobe furnished the~m at a cost of five cents per day, and they were to clothe- and shelter them selves! In other words, their sen tence amounted to deportation life.
