by the influence of the SUMS heat the
Professor proved that there is no essen
tlal difference between the races. The
speaker took the equator for point OF
departure, showing that people in pro-
portion to the distance of their habita
ton toward either pole of the earth
differed gradually in physiognomy and
in color. He said. if one thousand ma
tives representing equal distances apart

observer beginning with the native of
the Congo, the most pronounced tyne

distinguish any difference between the
races until he came to the Norwegian
who is the most pronounced type among
the whites. The reason for. this is the
slight but gradual change. It would be

to tell where the light begins or the dark

AT a meeting held recently in Balti
more, Cardinal Gibbons made an appeal
to the congregation in behalf of the Ne.
gro and Indian missions. His Emin.
cree reminded his hearers that in com.
pliance with the decree of the last PIen.
ary Council of Baltimore, I'm annual col
lection was taken up in behalf of those
missions on the first Sunday in Lent in
all the churches of the country. There
are now" said he, 'about 1000. 900 of
Negroes in the United States, and the
Negro question has become serious
problem to the American people. The
best Solution of this problem, in nv
judgment, will be found in christianiz-
the Negroes" We beg leave to suggest
to the Cardinal that an equally good So
luton of the problem will be to chris
tianizing the white folks. The BRYAN
bulldozers and Aberdeen Apaches, Flor
ida rebels aud Barnwell murderers need
outstanding or determination very
badly.
