A New Field for the Negro.

The London Spectator says that moth
ing stops the Americans from raising the
negro force 10 10000 men and with them
holding the Philippines, Hawaii ana Porto
Rico, paying them out of local revenues
With such a garrison those islands would
be as safe as drawing rooms and as full
of business as Broadway or Strand Iu-
stead of remaining a source of weakness
to the union the negro can be turned by
wise and lenient management into an in
strument of empire"
Is the war with Spain to solve more than
one of our national problems? Is the field
of our conquest so fttngly adapted to The
colored people as a place of military resi-
dence and practical usefulness that these
citizens are to become a Source Of en-
pire" in stead of remaining source of
weakness to the union?" The Spectator
reaches into the future with q vigorous
advisory spirit, and at most there is much
to demand consideration in what il saws.
AS for the colored man, theirs Is room for
him TO become a more useful factor TO orr
national makeup, and in The direction in
dicated he might be source of honor an
hnd an elevation in the eyes of himself
and his country.

outdoing the GntIing Gun.

A Tyneside engineer. James Judge, man
aging partner Of The Walker Engineering
and Galvanizing Company, has patented a
gun which he believes, when perfected, NlI
discharge the enormous number Of 5000
bullets a minute. SIr. Judge describes his
weapon 10 our Newcastle representative
and there seems TO be no theoretical objec-
ton 10 his design.
The gun discharges its missiles by centri-
fugal force, being, in fact, a wonderful de-
velopment OF the ancient sling. He has
disk working within a case at 1900 revo-
lutions minute, a speed which has al
ready been obtained In practice. From the
circumference of the disk project two
hands The bullets are poured into the case
from hopper, and as they fall are caught
by the hands. which in coming round rain
them out in a continuous stream through
an oritce. They are guided into a sleeve
which may he elevated or depressed, and
sighted like the muzzle of q rifle.
A great velocity may he obtained by the
use of hand power, but the inventors idea
Is TO use his gun upon an armored motor
car, which should also have projecting
blades like the ancient war chariots with
this difference that they would be nova
Bile. The disk of the gun is about three feet
IN diameter, and as il travels at the rate
of 1900 revolutions minute, the circum-
ferental rate is 900 feet This would i'm
pei bullets with tremendous muzzle Ve!oc-
ity, and at close quarters would Mr.. Judge
declares, mean absolute annihilation to an
enemy.
An Imperfect machine has already been
tested and found to answer the expecta-
tons of its inventor. Mr.. Judge is an en-
gtneer Of long experience, and is the i'll
Ventor of a water-tight door for war ships
of an automatic signalling apparatus IN
use upon railways, and other Contrivances
that have proved useful in various depart
ments of meC hanics.
