Of those Who pretend TO love the ne

on the sacred soil OF a Northern

some satisfaction in knowing that
they are not confined to Southern
states alone. That they should oc-
cur more frequently nthe Southern
-tates than in the Northern states is
most natural because there are more
lnc groes in the South than there are
IN the North. If the negro popula-
ton Of the Unit d States could be
lchanged from the Southern TO the
Northern states there is every reason
to believe that the outbreaks would
be much more frequent than they
are. because as rule, the Southern
white man, who is accustomed to
the negro and understands him bet
ter, is more patient with his faults
than the white man of the North,
and Southern white men undoubt-
edly know better how to control
them and keep peace with them.

Science Converts the Refuse of Cities Into

William George Jordan, writing on
"Wonders Of the Worlds Waste in

garbage of great city is worth for
tune every year if properly utilized. In
St Louis the refuse is placed in enor-
mous vertical cylinders, surrounded by
steam jackets, which evaporate the rs
to 50 per cent of water in the garbage
The fatty substances are dissolved, and
as the result Of number of processes a
fertilizer is produced which is worth
from 80 10 SIP per ton, the demand ex-
ccoding the supply. One Of the purest
and best soaps OF the country was made
of garbage grease before cottonseed oil
entered the field. 1t is now proposed to
light London by electricity for nothing.
1t now costs that city Sl.0S CAS-. sd. TO
get rid of ton of garbage. A combina-
tion Of rollers and other apparatus has
been devised that can burn the garbage
at "a cents q shilling) per ton and gen
crate steam sufficient to run enough dy-
namos to light the entire city. London
can thus save 3s Sd on each ton and
in addition illuminate its city without
cost. Carriage, by machine called the

provision that foreign built vessels

chased by citizens of this country and
repaired to the extent of three-fourths
of their value, shall be subject to for
fixture, if they engage subsequently in
the coastwise trade of the United
States.
