the Colonial Continent of Australia , to New Zealand and Tas
mania , to Samoa and the Fiji Islands and then to Hawaii , on
his way home. Many of these trips will have to be made by
special expeditions and outfits , with servants guides and inter
preters specially hired.
The Philippines are the least known of any of the many
lands over which the Stars and Stripes are floating.

HPhe Philippines are an unknown
wo > rld , most of them never having been
explored by civilized white man. The
island of Luzon , on which our soldiers are
fighting , is only a small part of the group
which contains 8,000,000 people , divided
into 83 distinct tribes and speaking some 60
different languages. The islands number
in the neighborhood of 1,200 , sprinkled in
the Pacfic ocean from Miorth to south for
more than 1,200 miles If any one can get
into the , unknown places Mr. ' Carpenter
will be able to do so and will describe the
people , their habits and views with a pre
cision and in a style that will entertain and
instruct all.
The Bee has for years given its readers
the benefit of the Carpenter letters of
travel by special arrangement with this
great newspaper correspondent , who has
undertaken most of his journeys jointly in
the interest of this paper. By its illustrated
edition , printed on fine paper , it is able to
reproduce in beautiful , clear half-tones the
photographs taken by Mr. Carpenter spe
cially for this purpose. As a newspaper in
its every department The Bee is beyond
comparison with would-be rivals. The
Carpenter letters will be only one of a score
almost equally attractive literary and picto
rial features in each Sunday issue.
1CS
letters of Mr. Carpenter in this series will be as varie
gated as the various countries he will visit. He will de
scribe the Filipinos , their habits , their armies , their industries ,
their railroads , their religious rites , their peculiarities and curi
osities. He will interview the great native potentates of the
different Oriental nations , lie will tell how the Dutch gov
ern their island colonies. He will outline the recent progress
and improvements in the Australian states. He will explain
the possibilities for American trade and investment in fact
