Philippines Resembles Islands of the West Indies, Especially in Being the Scene of Violent Past and Present Volcanic Energy. "Washington, D. C, May 29. Of in terest in connection with the recent volcanic eruptions in the West In dies, is the report of George F. Beck er, on the geology of the Philippine islands, which has just appeared in Part III of the Twenty-first annual Report of the United States Geologi cal Survey, and which contains a re view of everything bearing upon the geology of those islands. The report deals in general with the geologic and economic features of the islands, from extant reports on the subject and from studies in the fleid, so far as they have been carried on during the disturbed per iod of 1898-'99, though geologizing under arms and with a military es cort was found to be more exciting than profitable. In many respects the Philippine islands so closely resemble the West Indies, especially in being the scene of violent past and present volcanic energy, that the chapter of the report on the active and extinct volcanoes of the archipelago is at this time particularly interesting. While It was possible to visit but few of these mountains, owing to tho hostility oi the natives, much vaulable informa tion was collected from local and other sources. Forty nine of the er uptive mountains were located among the islands, and their altitudes and the dates of their eruptions obtained, Conspicuous among them was Mt, Ano. the highest mountain in the Philippines, which rises 10.7G1 feet above the level of the sea. At Can iguin de Mindanao, one of tho most interesting tf the group, a cone nearly 2000 feet in height has risen since 1871 over what was formerly lake, tho basin of which was pre sumably an ancient crater. Mayon or the vocano of Albay, is said to be them ost symetrically beautiful cone in the world; and the famous Taal volcano, situated on a small volbanic island in the lake of Bonbon, is read ily accessible from Manila. The ac counts of the eruptions of theso and other volcanoes of the group bear a striking resemblance to those of the recent outburst of Mt. Pelee in Mar tinique. Of an eruption which oc curred in the year 1C41 near Jolo the report quotes: "the darkness and at mospheric disturbances were so great that the people of Jolo could not percieve from whence came the stuff which fell from heaven upon them." And in one of the numerous eruptions at Taal, loud detonations like discharges of artillery were heard, incandescent stones were thrown out, and a great fire ran like a river across the island. The fire then shifted into lake-Bonbon, throw ing up water and ashes in immense masses. "The water grew hot and black, fish were strewn on the tbeach as if they had been cooked, and the air was so full of sulphurous smells and the odor of dead fishes that the inhabitants sickened." At one of the eruptions of Albay, that In 1814, 1200 lives are said to have been lost. now Congress serving his fccnley to Sneak at R ?nSr. Me..
