SOMETHING NEW IN STEEL.
Discovery In England That is Expected I'll
RevoIutionize Great Industry.

Just as Americans begin to feel that
they are upon the verge of developing
superiority to Great Britain not only in
shipbuildng, but in the steel trade, IN
which such a number of valuable foreign
contracts have lately been taken by our
manufacturers in the face of British COM
petition; and just nature seems to en-
courage the American aspiration by show
ing that the English coal mines Will be
exhausted within another hfty years,
science seems to be coming to the aid Of
the Birtsher and may be about to open
new fields OF competition in steel in which
America must take part if she is to MAIN
tain her hard-earned prestige, says the
Marine Journal
The discovery has been demonstrated in
London, and is being made much of by
the English press, that the ability to pro-
duce perfect steel by casting 1t in vac
uum made by liquid hydrogen with a pro-
cess that it is not proposed to make pun
lic has at last attained practicability. A
company has been formed with capita
of thirty thousand pounds to experiment
tally develop the process and if the plan
is as successful as Prof. Dewar, the dis
CoVerer, preSumes 1t will be- the air bub-
bles that now cause flaws and weakness
i'm steel will he done away with and a
metal will result such as the world has
never seen. TO say that this means
possible revolution III tie SltSl tiduc II It
put it mildly, and if the English govern
ment can control the process, as 1t Is
now intimatcd may be the case, then Am
erican scientists and those of other coun
tries will be put upon their mettle to get
even with the Britishers
LIQUID hydrogen, which Is the great
agent now discovered, is described as z
clear coorless, transparent and very
volatile fluid, no clearer than pure water
but only one-fourtcenth the density Of
water. In it's lightness it is out or al
proportion to any known liquid. "A piece

LIQUID air is as great if not greater thar
the difference between the ordinary TEN
perature and liquid air. Liquid hydro
gen places temperature at within twenty
degrees of absolute zero, which Is repre-
scented by 494 degrees Fahrenheit and q
degrees Centigrade below zero. The boil
ing point of liquid hydrogen is 252 degrees
below zero. at which it is capable of enor

Tho Birmingham (AlaD Agc-Herald

The letter of President Booker r. Wash

stands. He admits that the negroes OF the
United States commit 30 per cent of the
crime of the country, when their percent

The race is largely ignorant, and idle

and he appeals to his people to win white

only tWenty-four were charged in any

lynchins habit has, in other words sprcaf
beyond its original bounds-it mas spreac
until its victims now include white people
and the negroes themselves are lynchnl
members of their own race for crime,
committed against other members o.
their race.
These are, says President Washington
some of the results:
l. Hundreds of negroes are driven by
the prevalence of the habit from tn,
farming districts to the congested cities
. The moral sense of the young man

lost.
B. Lynching does not stop crime, Sta
tistics prove this. The officers of the Law
are white men. Perfect the law and Ell
force It. There Is not an undue proper
ton Of crime in the South. but the lynch
ing habit is constantly advertising thu
South as lawless section full of crime.

NEED or WORKERS IN THE SOUTH

/ What the South has needed since the
war has been a establishment OF the
material basis for civilization. The great
or part of the soil had become either very
badly cultivated or wholly neglected; and
there was needed the application Of m
dustry and brains to the agricultural re-
clamation of what is by nature about the
fairest and richest portion of the country
or the planet. Furthermore, the close
of the war found the majority Of the
mansion houses and better class of homes
outside of the large towns comrlete y
ruined. while it also found the great mass
of the population, including the negroes
and the poor whites, living in rude cabins
and Shanties. There was needed a young
population that had both the will and the
skill to construct houses and make homes.
Slavery had of necessity made every good
plantation a traning-school in agriculture
and in handicraftS The negroes of sla-
very times knew how to raise cotton and
TOBACCO, how to care for livestock, how
to make and mend harness, to do plain
blacksmithNg, to mold, purn, and lay
brick, to do the palmer work of joinerS.
carpenters and wheewrghts and, in
deed. to work at many other useful trades
and crafts. The war destroyed the plan
tation system. which had provided train
ing in such trades and crafts; and the ra-
/ pid dying off OF the old generation Of
blacks accordingly left the South with a
new generation on ltS nHsluS ueNoll OF
discipline industry, and practical skill.
What the young negroes of the South
needed was not Latin and Greek, but the
practical training that would teach them
how to mend a mule harness and the NOR
al training that would keep them from
drinking whisky 1t was the theory at The
North that the colored race needed the isl-
spiraton of hooklearning and of purer
system of religious and ethical instruct
ion. In other words, it was the Northern
view that the negroes needed an educated
ministry of their own race and the most
rapid possible multiplication of Negro
school-teachers. There was, of course, d
certain amount of truth in all this but II
was, after all, not more than half truth
and probably considerably less than q
half. Some Of the institutions which were
founded to teach young negroes Latin
Greek, and theology were ia the hanls OF
men who in time came to see the situa-
ton as it actually was, and who gradual.
ly enlarged the practical and industrial
departments of their schools until these
features became predominant. Those are
the institutions which are now ncst EMIT
led to Northern support and which have
won the approval and good will Of the
best and wisest Southern sentiment.-Re
view of Reviews for August.

DRILL THE TONGUE DAILY.
1t is The instrument That Makes the
World Happier and Better.

Upon all those who are ambitious to
make the world happier and better rests
the obligation of drilling the tongue into
ustrous kindness, purity and refinement"
writes Rev Newell Dwight Hills, y. D.,
OF The Diffusion Of Happiness Through
Conversation" in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. Not by spasmOdc cf-
forts not with occasional hints and words
of good cheer, are men to use the tongue
i'm the interests of happiness The daily
drill of the tongue as an instrument of
happiness and influence is to enter into
the fundamental conception of living.
Nor is this law binding Only upon those
happy persons who are said to he gocd
entertainers. Some there are who are so
fortunately organized that they eXhale
bcncfactious upon any company into
which they enter. InConsciously and
without any set purpose. they oil the
hearings Of life lessen friction, provoke
laughter and good cheer, as naturally aa
flowers that do not struggle to throw off
sweetness, as the cedar wood that without
thinking gives off fragrance. But the law
of happiness making is not confined to
the few gifted individuals. 1t Is binding
upon all OF every rank, station and tenn
permanent.
