Aid is being sought in the North in
furtherance of a plan TO assist the ne
groes in many places in the black belt
of the South to become landowners, thus
freeing them from the bondage of the
landlord system, under which, too often,
the tenant does not receive a just share
of the product resulting from his efforts.
The plan also looks to the forming of
communities among self-respecting col
ored farmers. To this end the Dixie In
dustral corporation has been organized.
This company has raised about $4,000,
largely through friends in New York city,
and with this it has paid one-half Of the
cost price of 800 acres Of land in the
vicinity of Kowaliga, Ala. 1t has also
secured options on as many more acres.
More than the present amount of capital
is needed, and philanthropic persons in
the North are asked to aid by buying
stock Of the company.

The head is about fourteen inches wide
and the eye sockets three inches in diam

a ton and a half and would carry seven
or eight men on its back. Its "hipper'

AUTOMATIC SCULPTURE.
Machinery Threatens to Displace the
Artists Chisci in Italy.

In his report on the trade of Southern
Italy Mr.. Neville Rolfe, the British CON
sui, has an extremely interesting article
on automatic sculpture. Signor Buon-
tempt, he says, has devised and patented
a machine by which a marble reproduc-
ton can be made automatically by ero-
sion. The machine can be driven by any
kind of motive power, and consists of
a horizontal rod having at one end d
blunt wooden traveller. and at the other
a steel gouge, both working vertically.
The wooden traveller is made to follow
closely the lines of the model, while the
gouge at the other end makes vertical
grooves down the marble.
In the case of copying a marble head.
for example, the outline of the face be-
gins to show itself the very first time
the gouge goes over the marble. 1t cuts
the marble as if it were cheese, the first
time with large, strong tool, and sub
sequently with finer Instruments until
the detail is finished with gouge no
bigger than a bodl1in.
Mr.. Neville-Rolfe speaks of the enor-
nous speed with which the work is ac-
complished. The object is finished with
the machine to within one-sixteenth of
an inch of the size Of the model, and
then the artist adds expression and in
dividuality to the work. The machine
can do as much in three hours as can
be done by one man in three days. and
any intelligent workman can work the
machine. For scroll work on architraves
and cornices it acts like a charm; and
it will carve stone more easily than mar

TRAMWAYS IN FRANCE.
Great Development in Recent Years
Growth of Canal system.

There is nothing in the internal com
munications of France which has devel-
oped with more rapidity than this system
of tramways, and the development has
come to a certain extent with a rush, es-
pecially ill the last few years, when
France has taken up electricity with such
extraordinary pr0mptitude and enthusi-
assn, writes Il. p. O'ConnOr in the Lon
don Daily Mail. Eighteen hundred and
sixty was the first year of tTamwayS in
France, and there We're then just twenty
four kilometers-ifteen miles-in exist
ence; in 1870, just ten years later, there
We're still just twenty-fOur kilometers-
just fifteen miles-in existence; that is to
say, during the decade not one kilometer
had been added: the tramway had stood
still. Even in 1880, ten years later, the
progress had not been great; the number
of kilometers of tramways had risen to
only 411-257 miles.
The two next decades, however, tell a
very different tale. BY 1890 the kio-
meters had risen to 979, or 612 miles, and
in 1899, just nine years later, they had
rushed up to 1882 kilometers. or POSI-
miles, an increase OF more than three
times in this short period.
France did not make the mistake Of
England in leaving the canals at the mer-
cy of the railway companies. Size found
that in her great rivers and in her canals
she had a splendid means of intercommu-
nication. and she has stuck to them both.
At the fall of the empire neither rivers
nor canals were in very good condition;
many of them were not nayigable at all,
| or navigable only under impossible condl-
tons. In 1878 there were but 996 kilo-
meters of navigablc rivers. and 1853 kilo-
meters of canals, or total of 1859 kilo-
meters, or about 912 miles, and in 1898
| there were 20S3 kilometers of rivers and
2630 of canals: in all, 4115 kil0meters, or
about 2946 miles.
In other words, the number of kilo-
meters of navigable water had been in
| creased four times over in twenty years.

SILK FROM THE SPRUCE.
Pulp Fiber is Found to Make a Very
Good Substitute.

Silk of excellent quality is being made
from the spruce tree i'll Europe and i
movement is on foot to establish the in
dustry in this country. says the Buffalo
Express 1t is said that the cost OF max
ing silk by this process is one-ffth that
of the spinning from the silkworm cocoon.
fiber takes dye as readily as the animal
product and can be woven as securely
and as rapidly. 1t is also claimed that
the tensile strength of the fabric is as
great, If not greater. than the real silk
Although the spruce lends itself to the
process better than most woods, other
forms of pulp can be used, the inventor
even declaring that old newspapers after
they have been cleaned of the printers
ink, may be readily made into silk. The
inventor, who has made the subject
study for twenty years, based his expert
mental work on the fact that the silk
worm, in eating and aSsimilating the leaf
of the mulberry tree. obtained the found
alton of the silk from vegetable fiber.
In trying TO hit upon the particular
chemical process that the original fiber
went through before it was spun as silk
by the loom he found that after the
fiber had been separated it needed the
chemical action Of a certain form Of
glucose. In the new treatment the tree
is crushed and the resulting fiber is
mixed with glucose and then placed in
deep metal tubs. A disk, somewhat like
a steam piston, is then forced down on
the mass by hydraulic pressure until it
is compressed into a very heavy gum.
At the bottom of the tubs are tubes
terminating in tiny glass nipples, with
exceedingly small apertures. Under the
hydraulic pressure the mixture is forced
out of these glass nipples in silk-ke
tibers. which are so fine that the girls
who are employedin this portion Of the
process are obliged to wear highly mag
nifying glasses in order to see when ary
of the fbers break. The material is then

The death of Capt. Francis Martin of
the United States revenue-cutter marine
service, who was drawing salary up to
the day of his death and is probably
the only man who ever drew salary
after he was 100 years old, attracts at
tention to another veteran mariner. Ref
erence is made to Rear-Admiral Thomas
o. Selfridge, who has been on the re-
tired list since 1866. He was born in
1904, and was appointed a midshipman
in 1918, so that he is probably the only
living American who participated in the
official sorrow expressed by the navy

Martin drew salary for only sixty-nine
