Building tx World's Ftxlr Build
trig e.t Si. Louie.
The walls of the ancient city of
Manila aro bilng roared on the Philip.
pine reservation of 40 acres at the
Worlds Fair.
Fifty native Filipinos, clad iu their
native costumes, are working with
their native materials and tools.
Several times that number of Ameri
can workmen are engaged in rearing
great structures and preparing the
way for the work to be finished by the
natives.
Fiftj-two oirloulis of building
material and exhibits from the Philip
pine Islands reached tne World's
Fnir grounds a few days ago and im
mediately ' tho interesting work of
native construction was begun.
Already tho walls of Manila are as
suming such form as to give token of
what they will be when finished.
This "walled city" will be the main
gateway to the Philippine exhibit.
Tho walls will be overed with staff
iu imitation of stone, aud will present
replicas of tho beautiful and most
romantic entrances to the historic
city. Tho IuhUouh, gun -ports and
turrets are being reproduced with
fidelity. The wall is 20 feet high
and about 1A feet thick. It is not
solid and room s iu tho wall will be
used for exhibiting war relics aud
other objects of Interests.
Excavations have boon completed
for a deep lako which is named
L:igunn de Ilny.aod which is sjmnned
by several bridges. The most im
posing in nppcariinco is the Ilridge of
Siutiu, which, as its name suggests, is
of Spanish design. This is a copy oi
the famous bridge nf tho same name
in M.milii. It is being constructed of
heavy timbers and when it reeoives
its staff finish will ombmco all of the
striking features of tho sto jo bridges
iu the Philippine capital. Other
bridges, built by the natives are be
ing constructed of bamboo.
Work has also begun on the main
squuro iu the Philippine reservation.
There will be a towering monument
iu tho center of the sqniire aud on tho
four sides are being erected four large
buildings copied after tho mist iui
portaut tmblio buildings in Manila.
Tho Filipinos havo begun the erec
tion of their uativo villages. The
construction of theso villages is prov
ing a great attraction to visitors. No
mills aro used in tho construction.
Tne bamboo poles, which rango in
length from 40 to 00 feet, furnish tho
timbers. These aro tied together
with bejuco, the fllro of rattan,
Nipa forms tho roof. Nipa is pro
-lured from tho leaves of a palm pecu
liar to tho Phi'ippino Islunds. The
floors aro bamboo, split into small
sections, and is so tied to tho cross
sections that thoy form a smooth sur
face. Work has already begun on the
Moro, Visuyan, Luzon and Igorroto
villaaes Tho Moro village will be
built on the western shores of Laguna
do Buy and ninny nf the buildings
will be over tho waters of tho lake on
wooden uprightB and will bo access
ible only by boat.
One largo building is already finish
ed. This is iu tho extreme) western
section of the tract and will be ned
fur the present for storing exhibits
ami for dormitories for tho native
workmen. The br.ilding is steam
heated anil provides oiunfortable
iunrtcrs for the px'oplo from a tropical
climate. Rooms will also Is' provided
for the ktor.tge of perishable exhibits,
Tho bnniboo poles, as they upponr
on the cars, are dirty and weather-
stained. When they are converted in
to douses by the uutives, they aro
scraped with bolo blades and lacquer
ed. They take on a fine polish and
the buildings ore very attractive.
Tho Agriculture ami Forestry build
tugs iu tne t'liiltppiue section are
being erected by the American and
Filipino workmen together. Ameri
cans build the frame work and the
Filipinos will cover it with bamboo
ami is i i aa.
The entire 40 acres are Isdug laid
out with spacious driveways connect
ing all points of interests. There
wril lsi market places, churches,
t leatres and a full exposition nf Fili
pino lite, with more than Ussi native
Filipinos iinrticitftting.

WANTS BRICKTRACK ROADS
Government Employe Saya Thav
Make luWt R.otxda,
Iloa Martin Dodge, director of the
Imrenu of public road Inquiries, advo
tales the construction of brick track
roads with convict labor, says the New
York Herald. In regard to these high
ways Mr. Dodge says;
"The Important features of brick
truck roads are that they can be built
for a fraction of the cost of a stone
rond or street, while four to five times
the 'load can be hauled on them wltb
the sumo team force, and they can
probably bo maintained for one-tenth
of the repair expense. At the same
tlmo they obviate the formation of tho
ruts, dust and mud due to tho grinding
of tho. wagon wheels on stone streets
and the intidholes Hiid dust of our
earth ronds.
"if convict labor Is properly employed
we can probably build theso Ideal
roads throughout the whole country In
a few years of time for tho present
needless expense we are now bearing
on account of our deplorable country
roads.
"An ideal road Is the stone wheel
track between Albany nnd Schenecta
dy, X. Y. In constant use for nearly
sixty years, with very little or no ex
pense for repairs. It so fur shows very
little wear. It Is probably the oldest
and most successful road In this coun
try and now looks as if it might lust
another century or two without mate
rial repair expense.
"Near the city of Ttuffalo on upward
of a inllo of brick track mad construct
ed adjacent to stone ronds built by the
state nearly four times tho load can bo
hauled with the same team force nnd
with comparatively little damage to
tho contents of tho loads, which aro
largely composed of market produce
and fruit.
"In the brick track road Is found a
means for obtaining all of the ndvun
tages of the old stone track road nt on
extremely low cost. This advantage Is
made possible for nearly every part of
this country on account of our abun
dant clays, which are found of suitable
quality In nearly every section.
"A strong feature Iu favor of the
brick track road Is the plan of using
our convicts nnd vagrants In making
the brick and other materials anil also
In constructing the roads, by which
means this country could In a few
years' time hnvo tho finest roads la the
world at less cost than the burden and
disadvantage which we nro now endur
ing because of our present luck of good
muds.
"If long term convicts are employed
to nuiko brick and other road materials
ii nd short term convicts aro employed
to nuiko tho roads, as Is recommended
by tho l ulled Slates olllcc of public
rnud Inquiries, tho cost of constructing
brick truck ways for our country roads
should not exceed $S00 or (1,000 per
mile and In uiuuy cases could bo made
to uvcrngo less than fiuio a mile, ex
clusive of any necessary grading nnd
hauling of material. Furthermore, If
well made they should last for many
years.
"In a recent article In the Itevlew of
Hevlews the length of the highways of
the Fulled Klntes, outside of incorpo
rated cities and villages, Is estimated
nt 3,(HK).(HSi miles. At a cost of con
struction nf, say, Hih) a mile brick
truck roads for the entlro country
would cost less 1 1 1 il ll four times the
fil00,iss,issi loss which It Is estimated
we nro now sustaining each year on ac
count of our bad roads.
"In oilier words, wo nro now paying
for the pleasure of using our present
deplorable roads an annual mud tax
which In less than four years would
build the II next and best roads 111 the
world throughout the entire country
and which would effect a saving t hem
after over our present conditions of
nearly $7 each year for every man, wo
man aud child In this country, to say
nothing nf the pleasure, the satisfac
tion nnd the moral benefits of driving
over gisnl. hard ronds every day of the
year Instead of through a series of
mudholes or a cloud of dust.
"The proper manner of constructing
the brick track road will vary some
what In different localities, according
to the soli and climatic conditions.
Where the subsoil Is naturally drained
and frost does not usually penetrate
deeply a bnse nf two or three inches nf
(oneretii under the brick appears to be
siilllelent for ordinary ronds. The bricks
are set nn this concrete base.
"In localities where the soli Is wet or
of a clayey nature drnlntlles should be
placed lengthwise under each wlnsd
trick, with suitable outlets, and where
the subsoil Is very wet and tho frost
penetrates deeply stone or other ballast
should be placed below the bricks,
with the dralnlllu beneath the stone
ballast.
"As nearly every form nf rond Is se
riously damaged by the grinding action
nf tliu wagon wheels It Is at first dill
cult to realize that this will not be tho
case with the brick track road, but
when we remember that the surfuco of
the brick truck Is nearly us even and
uniform as the top of a steel rail nnd
ss It effectually obviates tho washing
of 'hlllsldo ronds It Is difficult to con
celve how any appreciable wear can
possibly take place even In yeans of
ordinary use If properly constructed."

SOME AMUSING INCIDENTS
Things Seen and Hoo-rd
While
Traveling.
Absurd utterances are freqnent
enough wherever humanity congre
gates, but travelers on trains often
enjoy exceptional opportunities for
listening to expressions oi this char
acter, if they nso their cars. A
Courier scribe, on a recent railway
trip, remembers some extremely
amusing remarks ou tho part of some
of his follow travelers.
Speeding across Idaho, in tho sooll
hours of the night, a traveler heard
the brake in :n bellow "Nninpa" aud
straightway fell asle 'p. Momo time
afterwards he awoke and, looking out
of tho wirdow, saw tho lights of a
town.
'Where nro we now," bo queried,
addressing the car generally, "iu
Nampa yet?"
All was silent for an instant, and
then a falsetto masculine voice drawl
ed interrogatively, "Me?"
'All of us," drily remarked tho
first speaker, while many of the pas
sengers went into hysterics, for the
toue and emphasis of the" sue" were
all to the ctTcct that tho speaker was
the only person on tho train.
When tho train passed the American
falls of Snake river, ono of tho men
ou tho train was Immensely interested
in tho sight
"Why I have seen this before," lie
ejaculated. "Y'es sir, I'vo seeu this
before. Y'es sir, and it was right
here, too."
The idea that cutartcts nro not iu
tho habit of moving about over the
country, did not seem to have occur
red to dim.
At Saltair, on Great Salt lake, tho
bathing resort near Salt Lako City,
several pcrsous were discussing tho
rapid decline of tho waters of the
lake. Ono of . them inquired how
much tho lako had fallen In tho lust
year.
"About ulna inches," ho was in
formed. "What Initio inches iu depth all
ovor it?" The impression of tho re
mark was that ho would have been
less surprised if the decline had been
ccuflcd to ono end of the lako, or por
haps to the middle.

ARE BOOMING THEIR TOWN
Unique Scheme to Advertise It to
the World. .
l'lno niuff, N. C, Is probably tho only
town In tho United Kin lea that has an
illlchil press agent and that realize
fully tho value of advertising lta re
sources, says tho New Y'ork Evening
Telegram. Tho citizens got together
and drafted a hill "authorizing the
town commissioners of Tins Bluff,
Mooro county, N. C, to provide neces
snry funds for advertising the town as
I desirable resort."
This bill was sent to tho general as
sembly at Itiileigh, with a petition
which Is as progressive In spirit aa tho
measure Itself Is uulqiio In general
tenor. The petition rends:

With such a petition heforo them tho
b'glslutiire hud Inr alternative but to

Is how the advertising fund Is raised:
All taxable property In tho towu,
5 rents nil every $100 of valuation;
every mule citizen and every female
properly owner pays a poll nf 15
cents annually; merchants are ussess-
m I eetifs nn every 1( worth of

houses pay ! per cent on gross receipts,
and livery stables the same; doctors,

Ten per cent Is collected on nil gross
