THE ETHIOPIAN AND HIS SKIN.
As TO the CuticIe X-Rays Will Make
Him a White Man.

Baltimore, Md, Dec. ga special from
Philadelphia to this city says that DR.. H.
K. Pancoast, sxiographer of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, has discovered that
it is possible by means of the X-ray to so
black the skin of a negro that so far as
hue is concerned the subject becomes a
Caucasian. The condition of a person so
treated is apparently permanent.
IS This discovery was made while negroes
were being treated in the university for
cancer and lupus, and while no attempt
has yet been made to experiment with the
skin of healthy negro, DR.. Pancoast be-
lieves it is possible to change the color.
The white hued skin of negro who has
been under the X-rays is that of the ordi-
nary white man and presents perfectly
healthy appearance. The skin is natural,
despite the fact that the rays have de-
stroyed the pigment which caused the col
oring.
The only question is whether, in case a
formal effort were made to change the
skin of a negro from black to white, the
destructive forces of the rays would not
kill the tissues. If the rays were applied
so extensively this might happen, and
such burns are highly dangerous. But, it
is thought, while mild application, ex-
tending over a long period of time, the
burns might be avoided. In the cases
treated in the university there were no
burn sand no i'll effects

ASKED about his reply to Mr.. Butler,
of S. Co. and his promise to apologize to
that gentleman if cotton did not sell be-
low nine cents when the farmers were
ready to market it, Mr.. Wilson said:
ut is q fact that Butler took exception
to my interview. lie seemed to think
that l designated the men who inflated
the Southern cotton market as a lot OF
gamblers or something of that kind, while
as matter of fact 1 only denounced them
as selfish spectators.
''Then it was that stated I would lift
my hat to him or anybody else who would

farmers who ploughed and toiled in pro-
ducing the staple-the same high prices
while they owned the crop that specula-
tors got for 1t who raised the cotton, who
worked late and early in heat and cold
to grow and mature it, if they got the
benefit of top prices I would rejoice that
their enterprise was awarded; but when

markets and reaping where they never
scwed; when l see every device practised
to bear down the price of cotton while
it is in the hands of the producer and
boost it when it gets in control OF the
sreculator; when 1 see profits that should
rightly bless the honest farmer absorbed
by a class who neither work nor spin,
I feel that something must be wrong,
and it was probably in response to that
impulse that I gave out the interview

or to give out any of the details of the

a city north of this. Asked if it was not
one of the largest cities in the country, he
said it was.
