Ex-Minister Curry Discussed it in Way That
Surprised Georgia LEGISLATORS.

Ex-Minister Curry Discussed it in a Way That
Surprised Georgia Legislators.
Atlanta Special to the New York Sun, IA.
The Georgia legislature was yesterday
treated to genuine surprise. In response
to joint resolution, the Hon. J L. NJ
Curry, late minister of Spain, addressed
the legislature on education. He was
introduced by President Du Bignon. The
part of his speech which attracted so
much attention was as follows:
81 want to say to you, in perfect
frankness, that the man who thinks the
negro problem has been settled is either a
fanatic or q fool. l stand aghast at the
problem. 1 cont believe civilization
ever encountered one of greater magni-
tude. II casts a dark shadow over your
churches, your government OF the future.
It is great problem which will tax your
energies. Georgia was once Sherman
Ized. Georgia, with the South African
lied ms it may be, would be a thousand
times worse than ShermaniZed. But
you may make the outlook as
black as possible, and yet say
that ignorance and poverty are not
remedies for the situation. Better
have them cultivated, better have them
intelligent preachers, intelligent in
dUstry, improved homes. Which is bet
ter, to brutalize and pauperize, or hu-
MAMIE, civilize and Christianize? [
leave it to you to settle the problem.
There are people who say this ought to be
white man S government. | am not
prepared to contest that proposition, but
| beg you to remember that the negroes.
I Srlo of HOY f,,ia a. ~ ,o
North who are .befriending them. But
they are not coming to your relief. You
must help yourselves if you are
helped at all. 1 know that the indica-
tons are prophetic of race conflict.
God save us from it. l know that dark
shadows of the future are flung across
our pathway. 1t is idle to shut your
eyes. 1t is better to meet such dangers
half way, even though they come no
further. Now, there is nothing per Sc
in a white skin unless behind that skin
lie the hereditary experience of centuries
OF good government. l know that the
negro of Africa has no invention, no dis
coyery, no law, no literature, no govern
mCnt, no civilization. Why? If YOU put
the Caucasian under the same environ
ment, and keep him there ten or twenty
centuries, there will be no invention, 10
science, nor discovery, nor history, nor
civilization among Caucasians. Your
ancestors and mine few
years ago were cannibals and pagans.
They have become what they are, not by
virtue of white skin. but by improving
government and good laws. You let the
negro children get an education where
yours DO not, let the negro be superior to
you in culture and property, and you
viii have a black man S government
Improvement, cultivation, education is
the secret of the condition, and guarantee
OF race supremacy. 1 viii astonish you,
perhaps, by saying that if the negro
develops and becomes in culture,
property, and civilization superior to the
white man, the negro ought 10 rules You
see TO it that he doesynot become so. The
responsibility is WISH you.7'

ALUMINIUM.

4 new chemical process for extracting
aluminium has been put in operation near
Birmingham, and the price OF the metal
is now considerably reduced The method
consists III forming double chloride of
aluminium, and reducing it by means of
sodium and cryOlite, which acts as fluX.
TO eighty pounds of double chloride are
added twenty-five pounds of sodium and
thirty pounds OF cryoiite. This charge is
heated for two hours, at temperature
of 1000 degrees, and about eight pounds
of aluminium are obtained from it, the
impurities being only about per cent
The new company expects to put out
500 pounds of aluminium day, and the
price, from 40s. TO 45S. per pound, is
brought down to los. by the Cashier pro-
cess. The metal is also prepared by the
Cowle electric furnace, one of which has
been erected at Stoke. The price of this
very light metal has prevented its being
used for a greater variety of apparatus,
from ''brass'' instruments of various
kinds to field telegraph wires. It's weight
is only one-fOurth that of silver and one
third that of iron, its specific gravity be-
ing ? 81. Moreover, its alloys with cop
per and other metals are very pretty and
durable.

The refining lubricating oils from sal
mon refuse, which was commenced some
months ago by Discoteau s. Defontaine on
a small island near the mouth of the riy-
er, has been attended with much success.
According to law the canneries are pro-
hibited from throwing away the salmon
refuse so long as refinery is in working
order and can use the refuse. In this
way the refiners have an opportunity of
securing material at a very small cost
and the only real expense is in extract
ing and refining the oil. So far this sea-
son 1000 gallons have been refined, and
5000 gallons more will be made before the
season closes. Had the salmon run been
good this year these figures would have
been doubled or trebed. Two grades of
oil are refined, and both are admitted to
be fine lubricators Il Westminster (B.

ing, 10 parts magnesium carbonate, 10
parts silicate of magnesia, 10 parts
glycerine, 10 parts water, 8 parts oxalic
acid, parts manganese ore, and 3 parts
mineral color. These substances may be
used on any suitable supports, as plates
of metal, glass, earthenware, for re-
placing photographic stone. In combina-
ton with the cylinders is an ink trough
consisting of two parts, separated by
slit having regulating screw. By the
action of lever the mixing mechanism
may be thrown in or out of action.
POINT N STONE SMASHING.
1t is well known that stone, however
large, may be broken by striking suffi-
cient number of blows with hammer
along the line where it is desired to break
the stone. In this process the force of
the blow is expended in gradually weak
ening the cohesion of the particles in
line following the direction of the blows.
This weakening is increased by each sue
cessive blow until finally rupture occurs.
POWERFUL TUsE-PREss.
4 powerful hydraulic tube-press for
forming metal and steel tubes from cir
cular plates by pressing or forcing them
by the aid of mandrils through dies or
annular rings, has just been designed and
built, says the Universal Engineer, by
Henry Bessemer & Co. Sheffield, for the
Birmingham Small-arms Factory. The
press will be used for the manufacture of
tubes of large size.
IN TOOTH-PULLING.
Drs. Henoque and Fredel, in a COM,
munication made to the Biological SOci&
ETY. of Paris, state that the extraction -
n tooth may be rendered painless ~
Spraying the nei@hborhood of the ext
nal ear with ether. The an9sthesia ~
the trigeminus so produced extends to tffas
dental nerves, and thus renders the prO-s

EDIBLE BIRDS NESTS.

J. B. Steere, i'll American Naturalist,
adds considerable to our knowledge of
edible birds nests-regarded as a rare
delicacy in Chinese coo&ery-though he
still evidently sticks TO the old notion that
the gelatine OF which the nests are in
part or wholly made is fluid secreted
from the salivary glands of the swifts
that make the II ests, which liquid hardens
on exposure to the air. As far as our
own chimney swifts are concerned, it has
been proved that the gum with which the
twigs are fastened together is of a vegeta-
bic and not of animal character, and
that in the case brought to the notice of
the Academy of Natural Science of Phila
adelphia, where the matter was investiE
gated, the gum was found to belong to
the cherry tree. In the case of edible
birds nests, the gum has been
proved to be seaweed brought by the
bird often from long distances.

ANOTHER BRICK PLANT.

Messrs. Z. f. Andrews and J. Kraemer,
of Wyandotte, who have been in the CITY a
few days looking after business matters,
left last evening. Mr.. Andrews is patentee
of Andrews trip hammer brick machine
president OF company operating num-
Der of the machines in his town. Mr.
kraemer is secretary of the company and
the two gentlemen make their visit to
this city to look after business in their
line. They spent some time taking in the
city in order to arrive at some conclusion
concerning the future Of the city II the
conclusion should be favorable for great
growth of course there would be great
demand for brick. After getting
considerable information they decided
that brick would find a ready sale in the
city next year and as result they decided
it would be business to locate brick plant
here. They said before leaving yesterday
that they would report favorable to
Wichita plant and they had no doubt that
the company would act according to their
recommendation and a few weeks would
find them making brick in this city.
Their machine has a capacity OF 10000
per ten hours, and they will probably put
in two at the beginning. They give the
question OF location some attention and it
is thought have selected the site for plant.

A TWENTY YEARS TEST,

While the supreme test of management
is success there are relative as well as alb
solute tests One OF the most important
Of these is a comparison of the proportion
of income used by different life companies
in the payment of death-claims and ex-
penseS, during a series of years. 1t may
fairly be said that next TO getting business
at some cost, the efforts of insurance man
ayers are directed toward securing the
best possible risks at the lowest possible
cost for expenses And in purely mutual
company like the New-York Life, success
in these two respects means lower cost of
Insurance TO policy-holders.
Comparing the proportion of income
consumed in the payment of death-claims
and expenses by the New-York Life, with
the proportion consumed by all other com.
panies now in business. for q period of
twenty years the last for which figures
are now obtainable, lS67-1SS6l. and we find
this result: In seventeen years out of the
twenty and during the last sixteen years
consecutively, the proportion has been less
in the New-York Life. During the last
ten years the average difference in these
ratios has been over nine per cent. in favor
of the NewYork Life
The growth, prosperity and present
strength Of the New-York Life are not
only remarkable in themselves, they are
phenomenal in the history Of life insurance:
ana life insurance is conspicuous ele-
ment In the history of period of the most
marvellous growth the world has ever seen
