rapily through the air will generate
within itself a strong electrical cur

Everybody's Magazine for April
presents a very attractive apr ear
ance, and lis contents are Of especial
value and interest. The second article
IN the series "Gre at American Indus

works of the Carnegie Company near
Pitlsburg, Pa. and explains in bright
and interesting fashion i1 what man
ner this company will. make this year
profits exceeding $4,000. 600. Tue

nations" takes up facil ating subject,
and one which has undoubtedly bsen
mystery to nine-tenths OF the magazine
readers; that is, the method of naviga
ting ship by observation of the sun
and stars. For a difficult mathematical
subject, this method is explained in q
singularly lucid fashion, and appears
to be very simple after all. A very
strong article is that on ''Our Coast De-
feuses," which describes the manufac-
ture, emplacement and use Of the huge
disappearing guns, the mortar batteries
and coast defenses In general which are
now being pushed to completion on
both Atlantic and Pacific seaboards'
The article attacks the subject evident
ly from the inside, and many facts. are
given which have not here tofore been

are particularly new and interesting.

LESSONS In POLITICS.
Continued from 9Th page.)

Mr. Charles Alexander, another
ur,ter ofnote, writing on Government
vnrctions," in speaking of the politi-
o.I situation said: "Our politicians are
ooueer lot. They lay down their man.
boo and independence, accommodate
their principles to circumstances, give
m all honorable pursuits, engage them
.s,ves to every associate who assists
.bem and preacn all sorts of doctrines,
ubep they start in the race for Doodle
and bonor-but Doodle Is Of first mo-
melt"
In offering a remedy for the present
conditions of the race Mr.. Alexander
said: "Let lis urge the \ egro to associ-
ste with those from whom he must
learn Let US strive to enlighten him.
Let rs teach him to be less supersti
uous. Let US insist that the Negro
buiId more schools, study hard and
practice economy. Let us show him
the importance Of dividing his votes
and using his better judgment on mat
tiers of political merit"
The time for the political indepen
dspce Of the Negro has come. There ia
no mistake in the signs. For the past
few wears the Negro has been gradually
becoming politically free, which is an
indication that he intends to get an alb
soIute divorce from politics. For thirty
three years be has kept one Of the great
political parties in office through senti'
mental fealty and adhesion OF his vote,
regardless of enormous penalties in
which he has sacriced freedom and
life. He has been loyal to his party re-
gardless of reward or recognition of his
race. But the Negroes loyalty In poll
ties has only brought him face to face
with great race problem which has
been multiplied thereby. Now, as be
stands gazing appallingly upon this
perplexing problem, he finds himself
deserted, left alone to grapple with it
as best he can. There 10 now but one
way Of solving the problem, and that is
this There must be a reconciliation be-
tween the Negro and the Southern
whites, which can only be done by the
Negro getting out of politics and de-
voting himself to Industrial, education
i and financial pursuits.

SURVEYING A ROUTE.
A Cable Across the Pacific Connect
ing san Francisco, Honolulu,
Guam and LuzOn.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Ofiicial re-
ports received by Rr. Adm. Bradford,
chief of the bureau of equipment,
from Lieut.. Commander ii. NJ. Hodges,
commander of the Nero, announce
the feasibility of a cable route across
the Pacific, connecting San Francisco,
Honolulu, Midway islands, Guam, Lu-
zon and Yokohama.
The Nero surveyed between Guam
and Luzon, and then ran back to
Guam, pursuing 4 zig gag course, in
order to sound along the route Sc
lccted. with a view to obtaining the
best possible location of the cable.
Then she ran n straight course to Yo-
kohama. She returned, zig tagging,
to Guam, and will zig gag across the
line to the Midway islands and TO
Honolulu, when her work will be
completed.
The Nero has found depth of less
than 1000 fathoms between Yoko-
hama and Guam and Luzon and
Guam. Three Thousand fathoms is
the extreme depth the authorities
were willing to lay the cable.
The cable between Honolulu and
Dongala bay, which is the Luzon
terminus of the cable line, will be a.
sl2 knots long. Only two offsets
from the projected great circle route
between the Midway islands and
Guam were found necessary to avoid
obstacles to successful laying and
operation of the cable. The first
was submarine mountain a short
distance west of the Midway islands,
and the second an abyss more than
forty-nine hundred fathoms deep,
found about five hundred miles east
of Guam.

The contents Of the register had been

Coal Shortage Causes n shutdown.

Philadelphia, Jan. 15.-Inability to
secure bituminous coal in sufficient
quantities is necessitating the shut
ting down of some of the manufac-
turing concerns in the Schuylkill val
ley. AT Birdsboro the plant of the !.
T.. & G. B. Brooke Iron Co. has been
shut down for several days, but 1t is
expected that in n few days sufficient
coal will be on hand to enable some
of the departments, II not the entire
plant, to resume. The Reading Iron
Co. is practically without coal, and un-
less it can be secured a temporary
shut down must follow. From other
points throughout the valley come re-
ports of coal shortage for manufacture
ing plants.
