it has cost Denmark mach money in
excess OF the revenue to maintain
them. A former residenC OF Charlotte
Amalie, the largest place on the island
of ST. Thomas, in speaking of the SEN
timent OF the people as 20 annexation,
said:
The white population and nearly all
sugar producers are in favor OF annex
alton, but the blacks are opposed to
the scheme. There are comparatively
few whites on the islands, not more
than fifteen per cent. of the population
The blacks are of a superior class, and
having the same rights and privileges
as the whites, they naturally fear that
their condition would suffer il they be.
came American citizens. There is no
such thing as a color line there. Edu-
cation is compulsory, and all the chill
dren. white and black, go to school be-
tween the ages of seven and thirteen.
In the churches there is also an alb
sencc Of all distinction as to color, and
there is certainly no line drawn in
business. The Dane recognizes man
for his worth, q I'd never thinks of eX-
Guiding his neit .lbor from social, bust
ness or religious functions because of
his color. In the Colonial Council at
ST CroiX there are two black men, and
they fill the places with credit to them
selves and TO the satisfaction of their
associates. Intermarriage between ma
tives and whites is nothing unusual,
and clergymen of the various denomin-
ations never refuse to perform the mar
riage ceremony between white and
black men and women.
There seems to be q misunderstand-
ing in the United States as to the Ian
guage used by the people in the Dan
ish West Indies. The fact is that
everybody speaks English, and, al
though the official language is Danish,
English is used in the schools as well
as in the court of justice.

have no chimneys. The Kitchens are
all detached. and as fire is used for
cooking only, houses require no fire
places or chimneys. The stores, if they
stand directly On street, have doors

"The low price of wine does the peo-
pie more harm than the warm weather.
For six cents one can buy Il bottle of
native wine. and half of that will settle
the strongest man. The people are hos
pitable to a fault, and strangers are al
ways made welcome. People in this
part of the world are surprised to hear
this, but 1t is just as true as that the
hurricane stories from st. Thomas and
st. CroiX are nearly all exaggerations,
for there are no more hurricanes there
than there are in the Southern States
of this country"
There are thirty-two sugar estates
on the Island of st. CroiX, the product
of which goes to one concern in New
York. But in order to protect growers
who are not in this combination the
Danish Government has established
sugar stations where growers bring
their cane for sale. 1t is ground in
mills belonging to the Government,
and the producer receives pay based
on the New York prices.

this island, and with a small invest
nent profitable stock farms might be
established there. The inhabitants of
this island are nearly all blacks. The

other important offices. He is the chief

machinery by employing magnetic lines

machinery by employing magnetic lines
of force The inventor states that he
is enabled to transmit the rotary mo-
tion of a driving wheel to driven
wheel without actual contact and with
out any mechanical wear and tear or
noise resulting while the machinery is
in motion. The driving wheel is pro-
vided with magnetic coils arranged
around the periphery, with means for
energiZing a portion of the coils at
time. This is accomplished by passing
the electric current from generator
through the upper spring contact arm
into the two or three coils Immediately
below. and allowing it to pass out
through the lower arm. In this way a
strong pull is exerted on the projecting
spokes of the larger wheel on the side
toward the energized coils. with abso-
lutely no attraction after the centre is
passed. The tendency is for the mag
nets and attracted spokes to continu
ally approach each other, and as fresh
magnets and spokes are constantly
coming under the drawing power the
wheel continues to revolve as long as
the energiZing current is supplied.
