Picric Acid Found the Thief.

A rich American, residing in the ST.
Georges quarter here, had been for
some little time past the victim of
systematic thefts. Bank notes and
money not left under lock and key
disappeared regularly. M. .Cornette, the
Commissary of Police, was informed
Of the robberies. He found it would
be impossible to keep an effective watch
on the. bedroom where the thefts oc-.
CURED, but he adopted a stratagem
which turned out successfully. A small
vial containing mixture Of picric acid
and fuschine was placed in a metal
case for holding gold, and few Ma
poleons were placed on top. In order
to get out the gold, the metal case had
to be held upside down, and then, of
course, the chemical preparation would
run out and stain the thief'ss hands
bright and indelible yellow AS soon
as some of the gold was missed. M.
Cornette summoned all the servants
to his presence. The Wallets fingers
betrayed him. Realizing the useless
ness of denying when caught yellow

locked up. Paris correspondence Of

A STATISTICAL PLEA FOR. THE
NEGRO. s.iss...r

~ stL
w. HI CouncilI, President Of negro
colleges IN the Forum" for July con-
tends that the solution of the negro
problem does not rest with the negro.
The paper is certainly well fortified with
statistical facts and raises nRst in
teresting racial question for the con-
sideyation of sociologists and statesmen.
For instance, Mr.. Council ayers that
the Federal statistics show that the
negro need not be ashamed of his rec
ord; that there are 33 negro criminals
ain the.South to every 10000 population.
4whiles there are but 9 white criminals
Ito every 10000 Of populations; but
whites have, 100 to 1 in educational ad-
NaEtages, he adds, have all the courts
jim their hands and 100 chances to to
Ievade the law and to escape, punish.
1ment.
:. With very much of reason he insists
that these facts should. be considered
~Hn Judging the negro and his conduct
lAt the same time he AYERS that the
NEGRO is more eager for education than
lare the whites since the census statis-
tics show that the whites enrolled for
school advantages but IA per cent.
of their population in 1870 and only
% per cent. in 1890, while the negroes
enrolled 3 per cent. of their population
in 1870 and 10 per cent. in $780,.
Again he points out that the whites
and blacks each have 8 paupers to the
1000 population, while the whites have
64 to l In wealth and 100 to / in good
paying positions. He declares that the
negroes die twice as fast as the whites,
but that the whites have greater COM
forts and more. advantages as regards
medical attendance.
We may scarcely regard his next
s,claifn with soberness, but 1t is given
neverthe1ess for what it is worth. name
ly. that the whites have 0.61 of 1 per
cent. Of divorces and the negroes O.67
Of per cent; but. he adds. the whites
have more than 1900 years advantage
In civilization. He claims that the fig
ures prove that the negro has reduced
his iliiteracy 45 per cent. in the South
in thirty-fye years, and has 100000
children in public schools, 10000 in
higher institutions, and 10000 teachers.
; while 10000 negro students are learn.
ing trades and 100000 are pursuing
business courses.
Negro libraries are represented in
:, value by. the sum Of $500, 900 and negro
sschool property by $12,000,0O0, while
farms belonging to negroes in the whole
country are valued at $400, 900 COO and
10000 homes of negroes besides farms,
at $S25, 100000. He claims among other
things that while of the farms owned
by negroes 80 per cent. are unencum,
bered, only II per cent. of those owned
by whites are unencumbered; that of
the negro population Al per cent. are
engaged in ,gainful pursuits, while onl5
S6 per cent. of the whites are thus en-
gagged.
There are many other statements of
a statistical character of the same or
der. Taken as true assuredly the de-
fender of his race has made decidedly
original and a very suggestive argu-
ment in favor of his proposition that
the negro in America has nothing to be
ashamed of in his record Of progress
and uplifting.

There can be no question about the
meaning. of the visit Of the Emperor of
Germany TO a French ship of war.
The German ruler was invited to the
ship by its. commander by the express
direction Of the French Government,
and the ship was sent to the port for
that very purpose. That this, taken in
connection with other recent events,
indicates a growing friendliness be-
tween the two nations which have been
supposed to stand at q ready for war,
is not to be doubted. It IS suggested
that the two powers are no less ready
and desirous of pitching into each
other, but that each is SO we'll armed
that neither can afford to be the ag-
gressor. But that is to deny that there
is any sincerity whatever in the nota-
BILE evidences of friendliness between
the powers ever since The opening of
the Keil Canal. 1t. may he that the
two are. ready and anxious for battle,
but if so, each outranks any other in
the world as a hypocrite We prefer
to believe that FRANCE and Germany
are really drawing closer together.
One evidences of this fact we have no.
ticed of recent months in the more COR
dial commercial relations between The
two. In each country there has been
relaxation of harsh regulations up,ni
the border. The merchants Of each
country carry larger balances than
ever before in the other State. and

greater travel from Germany into

tory Of Europe before. If all these
things indicate mere pretense and

"A BODY BLOW.

Camille :Flammarion, the distin-
Euished astronomer. has for many
years been spiritualist. "a AS to his
honesty in such belief there has never
been any question. He has had the
closest possible relations with the
whole spirituaHstic school, and himself
has been a foremost medium. 1t was
by hts pediumship through the dicta-
tion of Gale to Kardee that the latter
made certain important discoveries re-
garding the planet Neptune.
Flammarion now asserts that after
fifty years with .spiritualism, he is
convinced that he has been medium
so-called, and he hassaeted as such IN
perfect honesty, but he is now certain
that all the manifestations have been
due to auto-suggestion, and not to the
action of diseuieodied spirits. Con-
cerning the astronomical revelations he
points out that they are full of errors.
as for instance, concerning the number
of the satellites &. Of Jupiter and of
Saturn. These blunders he says it
would have been impossible for Gale
to have made, and that what Kardee
transcribed through his, Flammarion's s
mediumship, was only the reflection Of
his. Flammarion's knowledge.
The distinguished astronomer now
says that he is thoroughly satisfied
that all so-called spirit communication
is in close concord with the ideas, con-
victions and impressions of the assem-
bly, amid which they take place. He
thinks that in all probability the hui
man mind is spiritual substance en-
dowed with psychical power able to
act outside the limits of the body.
In saying this much Flammarion is,
of course. aware that he gives support
to the believers in thought, transfer
ence and telepathy, and all phenomena
which Indicate that the immateriaf
part may hold communion with other
immaterial parts without the medium
ship of the physical senses. This be-
lief is, by the way, one of exceeding
rapid growth, and now has the support
of many distinguished. !. and sincere
scientific Investigators. But Flamma-
rion's recantfng belief in spiritual COM
munications comes as. deadly blow
to the doctrine of the ispiritualists, and
will call the most effectivefhalt in their
march that has been commanded in
many years.
