VI "AAIO pIOou MS proposition,
generically stated, lacks both novelty
and proof. 1t has been advanced with
equal persistency and uncertainty in
nearly every public discussion of the
Negroes intellectual achievement. And
it is a constantly-asserted claim that
those Negroes who show the greatest
reinforcement of Anglo Saxon blood
show also the greatest development
of brain power.
If one may reduce so broad a oues-
ton to the narrow limits of mere in
stances, it will still be difficult to say
on which side of the matter the truth
stands. Many of the men in the Negro
race who have accomplished most in
the field of pure literature are those
in whom there is not visible a single
touch of Anglo-Saxon blood. Men like

the College of Liberia, at Monroyia.
and eX-minister from Liberia to the
Court of ST James, whose comppehen-
sive learning and ripe scholarship
make him a valued contributor to the
leading British Magazines: the late
Dr. Joseph c. Price, president of Liv-
ingston College, and ex-Congressman
Robert Browne Elliott, of South Caro-
lima, both orators of great ability; the
late Alex CrummeH, of Washington,
whose rare pulpit eloquence frequently
attracted to his church services the
late General Arthur while he was Pres
ident of the United States; Prof. Kelly
Miller, of Howard University; and
Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet, are
all of this type-pure black; and they
have, as I think. no peers among the
race in their respective lines of intel
lectual effort.
And it is, of course, equally difficult
to reach true conclusions on this sub
iect with reference to Negro inven.
tors, for here again the question
quickly assumes a shape that lends it.
self readily to never-ending compari-
sons. In the field of invention. as else
where, there has not seemed to exist a

and Elijah Mccoy, both of whom have

and utility of their inventions; ex-

ways, in 1890; E. R. Robinson, an
electric railway trolley, in 1898; P.
B. Williams formerly a student at the
Catholic University in Washington and
at present a teacher in the colored
High School of that city, an electro
magnetic railway track-switch, in
1900; and w B. Purvis, an electric
railway switch, in 1894.
The name of W. z. Purvis comes
next on the list with Is patents, relat-
ing mostly to improvements in paper
bag machinery, but covering also few
other inventions. J. F. FerreH is
credited with dozen patents on valves
for variety of uses; and next comes
ex-Congressman Geo. w. Murray, of
South Carolina, with eight patents on
agricultural implements. Mr.. Henry
Creamer has been granted seven pat
ents for as many different inventions
in steam-traps; and S. r. Scottron has
nearly as many on a variety of sub
jects. Charles V Richey, of Washing
ton, has patented a car-coupling, a rail
road switch, fire-escape, a waShbOard
and combined hammock and stretch
er Among the other colored residents
of Washington who have obtained pat
ents for their inventions are Leonard
c. Bailey, for a truss that was favor
ably passed upon by the Army Medical
Board, for an army tent that was re
commended by the Head of the u s.
Army; A. F. Hilyer, clerk in the U.
s. Treasury Department, for water
evaporating attachments for hot-air
registers; and the late James Worm
ley for life-saving apparatus. Record
is also made of two patents to F. j.
Loudin, the leader of the famous Fisk
Jubilee Troupe that has circumnavi-
gated the globe.
Among the really important inven-
tions on the list mentioned should be
made of those of ]. e. MatzeHger, who
is said to be the pioneer in the art of
attaching soles to shoes by machinery;
and throughout the shoe-making dis
trict of New England, where his ma
chine is known as "The Niger Ma
chine.'' it is regarded as the basic in
vention in that art.
GUN INVENTED BY NEGRO.
Another invention that seems des-
tined to make a place for itself in the
scientific world is that of the rapid
fire gun by a Negro named Eugene
Burkins. When the gun was first pat
ented it was extensively noticed by the
Scientific American and other techni-
cal journals; and was pronounced by
them all as being decided advance in
the art of ordnance and gunnery. The
gun is constructed with a magazine
at the breech in which a large number
of heavy shells can be held in reserve,
