WINDOWS IN MANILA.
Translucent Shell Are Used In Plao
of Ordinary Glaea.
Perhaps in no other country but the
rhilipi .nes are conchas a Red as a sub
stitute for window glass. Tbese shells
are flat, nearly round, and average four
Inches in dlumeter. The edges are trim
med off so as to leave panes about
three Inches square, and tbese are set
lu narrow strips of wood.
The shells are, of course, translucent
rather than transparent, and the result
Is a soft, opalescent light, very agree
able In a country where the glare of
the sky would be intolerable If ordi
nary glass were used.
To obtain the maximum window
openings the sashes are made to slide
horizontally on wide sills of hard wood
in a manner similar to that adopted by
the Japanese. By this means openings
as wide as twelve feet are obtained.
To realize the splendid resources of
the Philippines, says a writer in the
Century, one has only to see the bard
wood floorings in the public buildings
and the residences of the better class.
These consist of large slabs of mahog
any, or. to use the local names, mo
lave. narra, tlndalo and acle, these be
ing of various colors and graining.
Frequently the pieces, occasionally as
much as forty inches In width and for
ty feet In length, are laid alternately In
dark and light shades. Polished by the
household mucbachos (bouse boys) till
they reflect like mirrors, they produce
a magnificent effect.
DODGED THE ROUNDSMAN.
The Tired Policeman Cleverly Got
Himself Out of a Hot.
A police sergeant was going the
rounds when ho saw a policeman,
whom we'll call Mullaney, go Into an
undertaker's shop where there Is gen
erally a pinochle game tn the back
room. He knew there was no back
way out for Mullaney, so "rounds"
planted himself by the door and wait
ed. After a time he sent in word by one
of the men working In the shop that
be knew Mullaney was in there and
that he had better come back on post,
becai.e the longer he waited the worse
the complaint against hi in would read.
There wits much commotion In the
back room, and as there were a num
ber of coffins being loaded Into wag
on outside they put Mullaney In a cof
fin and loaded him on the wagon.
Then they drove him down the street a
couple of blocks, and Mullaney climb
ed out He strolled back up to where
the sergeant was doggedly watching
the door and saluted.
"Hello, rounds! Pleasant evening.
Isn't It?" he said. And the sergeant
stared for a moment and then stamped
away too mad to speak. New York

An Iconoclast.
"All over Europe my wife made ene
mies by boldly doubting cherished tra
ditions," said the traveler, "but her
skepticism respecting Alfred the Great
embroiled her In the most serious diffi
culty. An old geutletnsn who sat with
thin, blue fingers spread above the
feeble blaze from which my wife, red
nosed and shivering, endeavored to
extract a little warmth, expatiated on
the cake burning episode. Said my
wife abruptly: 'Don't tell me that old
yarn again, please. I don't believe a
word of It.'
"'Why not?' he demanded.
" 'Because.' said she, 'there never
was a fire In England hot enough to
burn cakes.'
"Her retort did for the old gentle
man what the fire had failed to do
lt made him hot but. even so, he
never forgave her." New York Press.

Queer Looking Worms.
New Zealand, Australlu, the Samoan
and the Solomon Islands, as well as
portions of the Hawaiian group, are
the homes of various species of worms
with thick, heavy bodies and with a
well defined neck connecting the body
with a head that is a startling remind
er of that of the monkey. In the Sand
wli h Islands they are called "me-ta-lu-kl,"
whli h means "creeper with a
child's head." An old New Zealand leg
end says that at one time they were
of Immense protMirtloii and threatened
the extinction of all human life on the

WATER IS WASTED
BY OPENING TAPS
The city' supply of water ha been
seriously diminished during the cold
snap, because water user have left
their taps running all night In order
to preveut their pi pen from freezing.
The latter part of the week the water
In the reservoir began to lower ho
considerably that the lire and water
committee ordered the water turned
off each night about ten o'clock and
on again In the morning about Ave.
Thi prevented the waste of water.
So low did the pressure become yes
terday morning that the heights did
not get water for an hour or t wo
In view of these conditions the lire
and water committee urges that all
water user conserve the supply as
much us possible until the reservoir
till, (tn cold iilirht the water should
be turned off In the basement and
that which remains In the pipe
should be drained off to prevent
freezing. All houses should be sup
plied w 1th such a shut-off and drain
pipe. If the plumbing is properly
placed In the house, however, there
will be no danger of freezing.
