cHuNAMEx ON ouR NAVAL SHIPS

Is it a fact, as asserted in some news
papers, that many of the sailors of our
naval vessels on the Asiatic station are
Cinnamon? The Baltimore American
seems to give credence to a report 10 that
effect. and somehow seems to think that
the Secretary of the Navy is responsible
for such a condition of affairs.
Before condemning the Secretary in this
matter, however, the question as to
whether or not the report respecting the
presence of Cinnamon as sailors on our
war ships in the Far East ought to be
settled. 1t may be that a few Chinamen
are employed by officers as servants. or
there may be Chinese sailors among the
crews for the reason that it was not
possible 10 obtain American sailors at any
of the ports on the Asiatic station. 1t is
difficult to believe that there is an inten-
ton on the part of the navy department
to have any considerable percentage of
Cinnamon among the sailors on our war
ships
1t would not be advisable to mix the
two races on our warships. The Ameri-
can has not the highest respect for the
Chinarnan. Therefore there would be
trouble pretty much all the time, and it
is by no means certain that In battle
the Chinaman would prove equal to the
demands upon his courage, though 1t Is
admitted that in the war between China
and Japan, the Chinese fought well in the
naval battle between the two countries.
1t is the wish of Americans that Amer
lean warshps shan be manned by Amer
leans. 1t is difficult Of course to get all
the men needed for the ships Of our navy,
but they can be had If sufficient induce
ments are offered. American ships
manned by Americans are without
equals It is dificult to say what Ameri-
can ships manned by Cinnamon could
accomplish.

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

The Jefferson street pavement is fin
ished. 1t is q fine piece of work and re-
fleets credit upon the department. of pub
lie works.
Jefferson street from Anderson( the Both
street from the Bay) TO And street is not
the narrow thoroughfare that it is down
town. 1t is fine broad street, nearly as
wide as Broughton street. The expense
of paving 1t is a pretty heavy burden to
those who own property on 1t. but there
are good reasons for thinking that they
will be reimbursed by the increase in the
value of their holdings.
There is one thing, however, that the
recent improvement of the street makes
plain, namely, that the street comes to
a very abrupt ending. for not very far dis
tant. standing directly across what would
be its location if il should be extended,
is a very substantial dwelling. If the
street should be extended it would cut
through lots. At this time, however.
there is but one house in the way of ex-
matter of great cost to buy it, and the
lot on which it stands, together with such
vacant land beyond as is necessary for
the street way. Later on, the opening of
this street will mean a large expenditure
by the city. 1t seems to those vino keep
abreast of the progress of the city. that
it would be a wise policy to provide for
the opening of Jefferson and other streets
running north and south before the value
of the land needed for such a purpose is
measured by thousands of dollars instead
of hundreds as at present.

The German Emperor is a frank and

A SUFFRAGE PLAN.

One of the plans proposed to the con-
sttutional convention of Alabama for
getting rid of the negro vote is the fol-
lowing: Make the poll tax 50 for those
who can read and write and SO for those
who cannot. 1t is claimed that very few
negroes who can read and write would
pay the 81 tax and practically none would
pay the So tax. In this way the bulk OF
the negro vote could be got rid of. 1t is
pointed out that the white voters, being
better off financially, would pay either of
these amounts without hesitation.
There is some ground for thinking that
the convention would adopt this plan If
there were any assurance that white men
would very generally pay the tax. 1t has
no such assurance, however. On the con-
trary, there is the example of Mississippi
In that state the poll tax Is 81, and it is
said that $4,000 white citizens failed to
register at the last national election. In
fact the number that failed to register
was greater than the number that regis
tered. II Alabama should adopt the sug-
gested plan the returns from her elections,
in all probability, would be very light.

Milwaukee is proud of the cleanliness
the central part of the city are paved
with asphalt. and the claim is that they
are among the cleanest streets in the
world. A parade of the Elks is to be
held there next month. and to emphasize
the neatness of their thoroughfares the
Milwaukee people are going to whitewash
the streets over which the Elks will pa
rade. The whitewash is to be mixed by
an expert colored brother and sprinl1led
from the eitys watering carts. Aside
from the attractiveness OF the spectacle
of the white streets. il is believed that
the liberal use of lime will be beneficial
to the public health.

MICROBE LIGHT.
The Next Demand, 1t Is Said, VIII BE
for Artificial Daylight.
Philadelphia Record.

Il HiAdNClHAi0 INtNpAus
1T is not the putrid meat itself that gives
out the light discovered by Professor Cor
ham, of Brown University, but bacteria
which infest the meat. In order to be lumi-
nous these germs must feed on another and
particular kind of germs. BY using the
proper food Professor Gorham has been
able TO obtain enough light from three
microbes to photograph them. The idea
OF using the firefiy-especially the large
tropical variety-for light has been consid-
cred by different persons, but the sugges-
ton Of raising germs for illumination is
original with the Brown bacteriologist. Not
enough is known of the character of mi
crobe light TO determine whether it would
have any advantage over the electric light
strength.
The demand of the future will be for arti-
fetal daylight. 1t needs only an artificial
daylight TO complete a revolution which
has already started-that is, the turning of
night into day. In Chicago a great all
night department store has been opened
owing to the success of many all-night
shoe. hat and other stores in that city and
in New York. 1t has been found that there
are in every large community many thou
sands of persons who are too busy in the
day and during the early evening hours TO
make purchases at the stores which close
at 6 or even s o'clock. These persons are
glad TO patronize stores which keep open
all night. Many other persons are en-
ployed until midnight, and a proportion of
these like TO do their buying before going
to their homes. In some of the large in
dustrial establishments two shifts of men
are employed, one during the day and the
other during the night, and the Increase of
our Industrial prosperity is likely to ex-
tend this system. This will inevitably
cause enterprising merchants to open up
their stores for the night. Ultimately most
of the business features of the day will
characterize the night. The invention of
an artificial daylight would expedite this
condition.
Professor Tesla has promised an arti-
fetal daylight, but it will require a great
burst of electrical energy to produce ii.
Should the microbe light, however, give
satisfaction it would be utilized as the
most economical. The culture of germs
would become a profitable enterprise, like
the raising of sheep and cattle or the cul-
ture of the Belgian hare. 1t is possible
that Professor Gorham may discover what
chemical changes produce the light in the
microbe, and may be able TO dispense with
the organisms by substituting chemicals.
In such an event the production of the
light would be even cheaper.

AMERICAN CORN.
B~y-Products from COrn-Cob Pipes to
Pork.
Frank NJ. Todd, in Ainslee's \

Frank NJ. Todd, in Ainslee's Magazine.
Among the great nations the Americans
have a monopoly of corn production, and
have had until quite lately a practical mo-
grows hardly any maize, and the little that
is produced in Hungary is of so poor a
quality that it has not encouraged the use
of it. However, the efforts of our Agricul-
tural Department to introduce ii to Euro
peans nave met with some success, and the
exports of corn have doubled in the decade
from 1890 to 1900. The practical Germans
especially are learning that it is a cheap,
palatable and nutritious food. and the Paris
Exposition has done a great deal to teach
French chefs its virtues as a basis of good
cookery.
In his country corn is king. 1t may not
be the most profitable crop, but it is the
mightiest in the aggregate In the fiscal
year 1897 to 1898 the country's cotton was
worth 1905, 600, 900, it's wheat 1892, 600, 600, but
it's corn had a farm value of $552, 600, 900. The
production of corn in 1900 was over 2, 100. 000,-
600 bushels, with a total value of over SOL
100000.
Corn has a wide range, but it's favorite
habitat is in the states or the Central
West, north of the thirty-sixth parallel,
and especially i'm the warm bottom lands of
the Mississippi and Missouri rivers.
Methods Of handling the great American
product have changed as materially as
those of handling iron or electricity. Once
IL was sowed by hand, cultivated with a
shovel pillow, cut with a knife. shucked
with a husking peg and shelled by rubbing
over a frylng-pan handle. Now the earth
is torn up with a gang pillow and pulverized
with a disk harrow, the seed is put in with
a horsepower corn planter, the crop is
harvested with a self-binder, and then the
husks are ripped from the ears and with
the stalks and blades are cut into fodder
by steam. 1t used TO take a man an hour
and a helf to shell a bushel of corn, but
nowadays the kernels are taken from the
cob by machinery at a rate of a bushel a
minute.
Like cotton seed. corn is getting into
everything. The husks are used for mat
tresses, the pith of the stalk for puncture-
proof battleships, the shells of the stalk for
paper stock. Varnish, salves, starch, grape
sugar, substitutes for rubber, bicycle tires,
rubber boots, linoleum, toilet soap, gluten,
feed, Bourbon whisky, lager beer, Missouri
meerschaum pipes and SmokeleSS powder,
all come in whole or in part from corn. But
most of all, perhaps, it gets into the hog
and appears as bacon, ham and short ribs.
The hogs in the United States in 1899 were
worth $40, 900, 900, and $115, 900, 900 worth of
hog products were exported. A large part
of this was merely corn in one of its vari-
Gus masquerades.
