Highlanders of Northern Luzon.—Meaning of the word “Igorot.”—Trails.—The Mountain Province.—Nature of the country. It is to be regretted that the people of the United States should in general show so little interest in the Philippine Islands. This lack of interest may be due to lack of knowledge; if this be so, then it is the duty of those better informed to do all that lies in their power to develop the interest now regrettably absent. Be this as it may, it is assumed here that most of our people do not know that a very large fraction of the inhabitants of the Philippines consists of the so-called wild men, and that of these the greatest group or collection is found in the mountains of Northern Luzon.

Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ...consecutivas, 2,50 m. El croquis representa el tren-tipo de mínimo peso, compuesto de carros de seis toneladas tirados por tres caballerías. La distancia entre el eje del carro y el centro de gravedad de la mula de varas es de 2,75 m., y se supone esta misma distancia entre dicho eje y la caballería que forma la cabeza del tiro del vehículo siguiente. Los trenes-tipos para carros de 7 y 8 toneladas se compondrán de igual modo, suponiéndolos tirados por cuatro y cinco caballerías respectivamente. 3. Para el cálculo de los momentos de flexión, se hará variar la posición del tren en las diversas secciones, de modo que corresponda al momento de flexión máximo en la sección considerada. 4. Para el cálculo de los esfuerzos cortantes, el tren-tipo se situará en una posición tal que desarrolle en la sección considerada esfuerzo cortante máximo. 5. Cuando las acciones producidas por el tren-tipo sean mayores que las debidas á la sobrecarga estática, lo cual sucede cuando las luces son pequeñas, hasta un límite variable con el peso de los carros y la importancia de la sobrecarga estática, se deberán considerar tantas filas de vehículos como quepan en el ancho de la parte afirmada y, además, la sobrecarga estática que corresponda, según el párrafo 1. del presente artículo, aplicada á las aceras ó á las partes de paseo no ocupadas por los vehículos.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
