EMIGRATION OF NEGROES.

Bishop II. M, Turner is of the opin-
ion that the best solution OF the So
called race question In this country Is
the establishment of a direct steam
boat line between some American
port and africa. In letter to the
Boston Transcript, he defines his POI
sition. lie says the Supreme court
has declared that the negroes have no
civil rights, and that more laws have
been enacted by different legislatures
against that race. than against any
other race, by any other people on
earth. There Is, he continues, no
future, no hope. for the negro in this
country. The brightest star that
could rise IN the black mans armament
would be for line OF steamers to be
placed on the ocean to ply between the
United States and Africa. Such line
of steamers would solve the negro
problem, for millions would leave the
country and pay as much for trans
portatlon as the paupers Of Europe
pay TO come to this country a line
Of steamers from here TO Africa is
what at least between three and four
millions OF colored people are longing
for. And we believe that God will
send them soon."
That is a proposition which has often
been talked about, but there are many
obstacles to It's realization, Perhaps
these might be overcome, but then the
question would still remain whether a
steady stream OF emigration to Afri.

CHICAGO TO HAMBURG.

The dispatch Of steamship from
Chicago to Hamburg, is looked upon as
one OF the most important and bold en-
terprses ever undertaken by the finan-
cial world OF that city. Before this
small sailing vessels loaded with grain
ana lumber have piled between lake
ports and Europe, returning home with
an assortment Of merchandise, but not
until now mas an endeavor been made
10 establish regular steamship line
between Chicago and European ports.
This Is an experiment. which, II sue
cessful is likely to mark an epoch in
ocean traffic.
The vessel was to leave Chicago on
the 2ith Of this month. Her name IL
The Northwestern, and she is owned by
The Northwestern Steamship company.
The voyage Is TO be made from Chicago
to Detroit and the st. Mary's river As
far as Buffalo the Northwestern VIII
carry grain In addition TO some agrlcul-
lural implements, This will be I'M
loaded at Buffalo and the vessel will
then be ready for the journey through
the Welland canal and will have much
more than paid her expenses as far as
Buffalo The Welland viii be entered
at Port Colborne and left at Port Dali
housle without any necessity for light
ering Of cargo.
she VIII then proceed across Lake
Ontario, the st Lawrence river and the
Canadian canals. These Canadian can
ais are the Galops Cornwall, Soulanges
and Lochlne. Besides, two rapids will
be run, and this viii all be done with
out Tightening. The vessel VIII then
proceed to Montreal and take on the
remainder OF her cargo there She may
coal there, or wait until she reaches
Sidney on Cape Brenton and take coal
there.
Besides being the first steamship to
enter the European ports direct from
the great lake port, the Northwestern
also has the distinction, II is claimed, OF
being the first American steamer in
European ports flying the American flag
ana owned entirely by Americans. That
fact alone is worth recording. I'm
doubtcdly a large amount OF the food
stun consumed IN Europe Is raised in
the country tributary TO Chicago. and
direct communication by water between
that port and Europe will mean much
both TO the city and the adjacent coun-
try. Still, the transportation through
The canals and the necessity OF reload
ing at some points are against the ex-
pertinent.
II Is considered so important how
ever, that one OF the leading papers Of
the city has dispatched a special cor
respondent TO go with the vessel and
describe the voyage. This gentleman
goes as one Of the crew. He viii keep
track of the cargo and be on the look
out for any commercial possibilities
that may present itself at the points
touched.

II is noted In England that the inhab-
itants of the purely agricultural VIII
lagos are forsaklng them and flocking
to the towns and larger cities. The
British protectlonlsts claim that this is
the result OF bad agricultural condi-
tons and that The remedy is In greater
protection. Whatever the remedy the
cause assigned is wrong, for in protec-
ZIONIST America and agrarian Germany
there Is the same flocking Of the rural
populations TO the towns and cities.
Thus far the best explanation Of this
movement Is found in mans social
nature and the charms and pleasures
OF city life, charms and pleasures that
outbalance the distress and discomforts
Of that life. Abundance in loneliness is
held 20 be less preferable than society
and excitement with far fewer creature
comforts.

OUR ARMY.
Kansas city Star.

The decision not to recruit the regu-
lar army to its full strength shows that
the government Is convinced that the
fighting In the Philippines is practical
ly al an end. The army rcorganiza-
ton bill provided a minimum force OF
$1,000 men. which could be increase
by 10000. at the discretion OF the Presl-
dent. TO a war footing OF nearly 100 O0J
The large power given the chief eNecu-
tive was one OF the grounds on which
the measure was criticised. This dis
cretiouary provision has now proved
useful In preventing needless expendi-
ture for the support Of the army AT
its maximum.

acknowledgment OF the sovereignty of
the United States and vowlng loyalty

would render unnecessary the main
tenanoe OF so large an army as au-
thorlzed by Congress. and that orders
had already been sent to Manila TO
reduce the number OF troops and dis
miss the Filipino contingent. Almost
Immediately following this dispatch
came the renewal recommendation by
Gen. Miles that the army be limited
to 10000. instead OF recruited TO 100000.
Experience has shown that whatever
the general In tltular command OF the
army recommends is certain to be re-
jected at the war department,

An important feature of the war de-
partments plans regarding the army
is the enlistment OF native troops In the
Philippines. The act Of Congress pro-
vides that as many as 10000 may be en-
listed, and the department proposed 10
enlist the full number. Such a force
under American officers would, II Is be-
lIeVed be a most valuable adjunct TO

Trigonometry In z Ray Work.

"Few people know" said Dr..J. G.
Egelston while performing an opera
ton at the City hospital, ''that it takes
trigonometry to locate bullet in the
body. But in every X ray operation
in which the bullet or foreign SUBJ
stance is deeply imbedded q mathemat-
icaI computation is necessary to show
just how deep the bullet is. The Y
rays make the flesh transparent, leaV-
ing only the bones and foreign sub
stance visible, so that you see just
where the bullet is, and yet you don't
know where it is, You know its lati-
tude and longitude, so to speak, but
those measurements are surface meas
urements, and you don't known how
deep the object is beneath the surface.
The point on the surface Of the body
beneath which the bullet is can be
readily located, but how far beneath
that point is the bullet?
'tThis is the question that trigonome-
try has to answer, and by knowing the
answer q great deal Of unnecessary
cutting may be saved, and what might
otherwise be a difficult and dangerous
operation may be rendered compare
lively safe and easy. If the bullet en-
ters one side Of the body, for instance,
and lodges within an inch or two Of
the skin on the other side, the other
side Of the body would be the one from
which to operate" kansas City Jour-

The Chinese Cuisine.

Though Chinese cuisine has been
credited with some utterly fabulous
dishes, such as white mice served
alive, which add piquancy by their
squeak as they dive down the gullet,
curiosit1es in the edible line do form
considerable list.
Birds nest soup, for instance; o
clear soup made from the refined
gluten with which a certain species
Of swallow fasten their nests beneath
the rocks; stewed 'sea slugs," another
nasty sounding dish, but trarscending
in favor the aldermanic green turtle
fat. There may be, too, on first intro
duction, some prejudice against fried
grasshoppers. But courage in this in
stance is rewarded by a deliciously
crisp, brown mouthful, Of delicate
nutty favor.
1t is a fallacy to suppose that pork
forms q constant article Of diet IN
China. AS a matter Of fact, it is too
expensive and is only eaten on high
days and holidays or at restaurants.
Neither do milk, beef or game enter
much into Chinese cookery, the first
two being tabooed on religious grounds.
Dog flesh is eaten in the south buG
rarely and only by the poorest Of the
pcor.-BlackWood.

The Stars and Stripes at Acre.

The Stars and Stripes at Acre.
4 good American had been making
some soul stirring remarks about the
glorious star spangled banner when an
Englishman who is pretty well Ameri-
canized told a little story apropos: Il
remember once to have seen the stars
and stripes applauded uprcariously on
a peculiar occasion. 1t happened many
years ago when the British flag wasn't
as popular in the United States as it is
now and a party Of us Englishmen
were at theater in New York consid-
erabIy farther down town than thea
tiers are now to be. found on Broadway.
The play was Richard T. and IL you re-
member there is a scene in the play
where Richard, after putting his foes
to fight in terrific style, mounts the
walls Of Acre and plants the British
colors there. Evidently the manage
ment knew the temper Of the audience
and felt that even under such circum-
stances the British flag would not be q
good thing, so what did they do but
give Richard the star spangled banner,
and, by all the gods, he took 1t with
him in the charge and planted it on
Acres walls. 1t was ridiculous, Of
course, and we Englishmen laughed,
but the audience took it quite as the
correct thing, and the way the people
stormed and shouted and clapped was
enough to have made Richard turn
over in his grave. Historically it was
away off, dramatically it was open to
criticism, but patriotically it was
bowling ccess."-Washington Star.
