TO WHITEN AND STRAIGHTEN.
Some Foolish Niggers Who Fain Would
Bleach Their Skin.

Some Foolish Niggsrs Who FaIn Would
Bleach Their Skin.
There are few people in Richmond
who know that their city is becom-
ing famous abroad as manufactur
ing center for preparations which, it
is claimed, are destined to tighten the
complexion of the negro, and straight
en- his hair, says the Richmond Times.
The manufacturers of these pcepara-
tions are doing fiourishing business.
There are in Richmond at this time
five firms which are daily shipping to
nearly all parts of the world prepare
tions which are guaranteed to straight
en- the hair and tighten the skin of the
colored man. There are many believ-
ers in the virtues of the mysterious
drug and many try with the hope that
they, like the Eliza Green" in the
famous rag time song, will turn whittier.
The firms manufacturing these prepa-
rations claim that their business is
continually on the increase and that
their trade, which naturally was large
~ confined to the Southern states a
year or six months ago, has now
reached more remote quarters of the
earth. The head of one firm stated
that his preparation had recently been
introduced in several sections OF At
RIGA, through the agency OF certain
missionaries in that country. The ne
groes buy these preparations freely
and a customer once interested is sell
dom lost, but continues to purchase
the mysterious medicine, believing
firmly in the ultimate vindication of
lis virtues A few months ago there
were but two firms in this city manu-
featuring a hair straightener. They
met with generous success; their bust
ness was seen to increase, and others
seeing their chance embarked in the
compromising and have been in a de-
gree rewarded. The whitening and
Strengthening preparation is now be-
ing sold in large quantities in Cuba
and Porto Rico. A few days ago a
considerable shipment was made by
express to Cape Town.

Cbe a nfbracife Coal Crisis.

An article in the April Atlantic by
TalcOtt Williams throws light upon
the real causes of the threatened strike
in the Pennsylvania coal fields. This
writer shows that strikes are often
the result of intense competition.
Every new machine and every shifting
of trade has in it the possibilities of
strikes in the industries affected.
Thus the invasion of England by
American steel products is likely to
produce labor troubles in English steel
mills. 1t is a change of this kind
that has forced the anthracite mine
owners and their employees into a state
constantly bordering on conflict. For
the first time both sides are now thor
oughly organized and each feels the
pressure of conditions which seem to
it uncomfortable.
The real cause of the anthracite
troubles is the increasing competition
of bituminous coal From 1910 to 1860
the annual output of each of the two
kinds of coal was practically the
same BY 1870 the anthracite had
forged ahead of its rival in the proper
ton of 100000 tons to 14.OOO.O 900 of
soft coal Anthracite had everything
in its favor and the iron of the coun-
try was made with this kind of coal.
Miners got good wages and capital
made large dividends. Then the capt.
talists did as they usually do in such
cases they watered their stock
Between 1870 and 1880 the capital
engaged in anthracite increased from
$50 ,OOO. O0O to $154 900 900 Yet during
the same period bituminous coal sud-
denly leaped far ahead of anthracite
in 1880 the hard coal output was 23.-
600 900 tons while the soft coal was
nearly 1000 900 tons. The use of coke
had been discovered, and the iron in

CURIOUS IDEAS OF CHINESE.
Belief That Men Should Not Rob An
finals of MILK.

finals of MILK.
A curious system of philosophy re-
garding eating is evolved by some per-
sons, but the Queerest 'anti-pronuncia-
mento in some time is that published
in the Loa Chow Herald regarding the
use by man of animals milk. The cru
dite Chinese who edit this journal of
the twentieth century publish a proc
lamation which says Man should
not rob animals of their own proper
God; and, of all animals, the COW is
the most valuable to man. The sell
lers of milk blacken their souls for
gain; but those who drink milk do so
in the foolish belief that it is good for
them Before taking any medicine, We
should carefully investigate its proper
ties. and who does so with milk?
Milk is the natural food for babes
and of young animals; but when adults
drink it, do they not thereby endanger
the life of the sucking calf, and arouse
bitter resentment in the souls of the
calf and its mother? Beasts have not
the power of speech. and so cannot
tell men that by drinking cows milk
they will become like quadrupeds. If
men must have strengthening
draught, there are a thousand better
things than milk SO why slect that?
Besides, the term of life is foreordain-
ed and it cannot be prolonged by
drinking milk. Everyone who reads
this warning is especially enjoined to
abstain from milk in the future. Child
rem whose parents will not allow them
to drink milk will not be stunted in
growth. but they will have their lives
prolonged and be immune in epidemics
So it is proclaimed In the Hall OF
Good Counsel"

The Atom Still an Abstraction,

A writer in McC,ure's Magazine says
that the atom of today is still a scien-
tific abstraction. Many facts have
been brought to light that make it ap-
pear certain that matter is not con-
tinuous-is not capable of infinite sub
division. Dalton, the Quaker school
master of Manchester, was the first one
to bring the atom down TO earth and
make it a useful idea. The atomic
theory, proposed by Dalton in the early
years of this century. lives today, and
is stronger than it has ever been, not
withstanding the efforts that have been
made to show that it is built upon
sand. 1t has been and is today an
extremely useful theory. Whether it
will always continue to be so is anoth-
err question and one that need not
bother us.

CENTRIFUGAL RAILWAY.

imparting such high speed to the car
by causing it to descend steep grade
that when it changes its course as it
does in passing through the vertical
loop of track, the center of gravity
will tend toward the bottom of the
car. thus forcing every rider more
firmly into his seat. The passage
through the loops is accomplished SO
quickly that it is hardly realized, and
then the car proceeds with the less
exciting portion of its journey. The
car takes on it's load in the position
shown. and the cable elevates it to the
top of the steep incline, with the pass
engers facing backward through the
first stage of the journey.

for swords, even under the stimulating
conditions of the Cuban and Philippine

rifles has made the sword equally obso-

modern French artists are better
known in this country than NJ Cain,
and few are more numerously repre-

ore of the Barbison group of artists,
and yet in many ways his style is his
own. His works are almost entirely
landscapes. soft and low in color, we'll

His favorite time is the twilight. its
low tone and mysterious effect being
in keeping with his unobtrusive and

of work Many of his pictures have
been exhibited, and are owned here,
so that they have become almost as
familiar as the works of popular Amer
lean artists.

The 'Clayton-Pulwer treaty" derives
its name from the 1iplomatsts whc

States. Hon. John Nj. Clayton, Secre
tary of State in President Taylor's ad
mnistration and on the part of Eng
land, Sir Henry Bulwer, British minis

to use proper diplomatic language i,
was II convention" and not u treaty
was concluded in 1850. Its purpose
was to promote the building of an
lsthmian canal. to connect the Atlantic
and Pacific Oceans. In 1919 the United
States had made a convention with
Nicaragua for constructing such 3
canal. starting at Greytown, on the AT
lantic. But GreytOwn was occupied
by British settlers. anc Great Britain
claimed protectOrate over the Mos
quito Indians, who held the eastern
coast of Nicaragua. The United States
desired Great Britain to waive Its
claims. but as the request was denieC
the next best thing seemed to be the
establishment of n joint protectoratt
over the proposed canal. This was done
by the "Clayton- Bulwer treaty." one
condition of which was that neither
power should secure exclusive plivil
eyes in the canal. and another tina
neither power should occupy or exer
else dominion over any part OF Centra
America.
Since the convention was made AZ
