To add further to the embarrassment

RoosEvELT's DINNER GUEST.
Somethlng About the Work Rooker +.
Washington Has Done.

Booker 7. Washington is carrying
out a work at Tuskegee of more prac-
tical benefit to the white men of the
South than any other work which hal
yet been undertaken along the same
line. He is solving the race problem
by practical plan. The southern peo-
pie admit that they need the negro.
He Is there among them because he
serves purpose, and II he is to be
there he must be made industrious
and selfreliant, and all educational
experts agree that it is precisely these
qualities which are being instilled in
to young negro men and women at the
Tuskegee institute. Its value is in
contestable, and under Mr.. Washing
tons direction it has become the fore
most influence in the South for i'm
tical education. The head of the school
has built up by the force of his own
personality, having secured general
recognition for his work in philan-
thrOpic and educational circles in this
country and Europe. President Nc
Kinley once visited his school, clasped
his hand, and stood at his elbow. He
was for days the guest of the Atlanta
fair in the capital of Georgia, where
he delivered an address which made
him famous the world over. He has
received degree from Harvard uni
versity, which is not lavish Of such
honors. He is an earnest, honorable,
upright man of rare attainments and
exceptional ability, in every manly at,
tribute the superior of hundreds OF
men in public life. Mr.. Roosevelt is
President not Of a party, or a section.
or of any race or sect, but of all the
people of the nation, of every color
and condition. We assume that tho
President did not entertain Booker
Washington to recognize him as his
social equal, but merely as the chief
executive to pay tribute to genius,
which so glows in this man of lowly
origin that its rays have penetrated to
all civilized peoples Of the world.

large quantities and standard work
are necessary before modern equip
ment begins TO Flay an important part

described as a delusion of those who
have grasped only small part of the
problem. The advantages of possess
ing a wel-equipped laboratory and
testing department are pointed out.
Materials should be studied with refer
ence to selecting the most suitable and
easiest worked, the cheapest. Where
the size of shop will not warrant
the expense of a testing department,
several shops should join to support
one. II is in this direction that Mr,
Orcutt looks for decided advance and
improvement in English practice.

NJ. Ducretet, repeating the expert
ments OF Bourbouze made in 1876, has
lately endeavored, with success, to
transmit human speech through ordi-
nary telephones, using the earth as
the only conductor. The results are
very interesting, though difficult to ex-
plain. One thing is certain, says the
eXperimenter, namely. that earth fl
ters out, so TO say, the continuous cur
rent necessary TO the operation of the
apparatus. The current is diffused
into many others capable of actuating
a certain number of telephones dis
tributed around the transmitter, and
in the experiments cited these diffused
currents were strong enough to oper-
ate relay with a call-bell.

1t is the object of the apparatus IL
lustrated below to provide a machine
for use in restaurants, confectionery
stores and analogous places where sr-
gar is employed in mixing drinks, be-
ing adapted to discharge the sugar in
the required quantity without the aid
of a spoon for transferring it to the
cup. 1t is also claimed that the device
will exclude moisture and dust and is
capable of preventing flies and other
insects from obtaining access to tie
sugar.
The principal feature of the machine
is the pair of rotary buckets located
in the narrow chamber beneath the
reservoir into which the sugar falls.
A turn of the crank scoops up a buck
etful of sugar and discharges 1t
through the spout into the cup. Tile
buckets are preferably of size to con-
tain about teaspoonful of sugar. but

convoy. This disorder in the mule
convoy communicated itself to the
mounted troops, and Beers dressed il
khaki, riding along the wagons, frus-
trated all attempts of the officers t0
rally their men.
Great confusion ensued among this
portion of the mounted troops, and
they and the mule wagons, galloping
three miles beyond the OK wagons,
were cut off in sections. The Fourth
and Thirty-eighth batteries fought
with great gallantry. Three hundred
of the Northumberland fusiliers and
the Loyal North Lancashire Regiments
showed conspicuous courage in pro-
tecting the wagons, refusing to sur
render until resistance was useless.
