PRESIDENT ON THE NEGRO

aIf a man is good enough to be
shot at beside me, he is good
enough for me to give him q
square deal in private life, More
than that ! will give no man, and
less than that will give no man.
This is the way President
Roosevelt defines his position on
the negro question, and his words
are concise and definite. The
statement was.made in thanking
the negroes Of Butte, Montana, fol
a souvenir they had presented to
him. What the language lacks
in elegance it makes up in force.
The president is nothing if not
tactful and polite, as well as wise.
He suits his speeches to his hear
ers, whether they be college presi-
dents or cowboys, and seems to do
it with unequalled skill. It is
evident that in his triumphal
journey through Montana, where
he once roughed it years ago, he
was able to easily touch the pop
ular chord which put every citizen
in tune with the march of the
victorious chief.

1t would be a fine thing if the

ABOUT PATENT LEATHER.
Many of the Processes of Its Manufnc-
ture Are Guarded Very Care
fully from til Q Public.

Patent leather has become feature
In the leather world and its making has
assumed considerable proportions here
abouts. Peabody is probably the largest
patent leather manufacturing place in
the country, though Newark, N. j., and
vicinity probably make more real and
imitation patent leather.
All manufacturers have their own tam
ming processes. much like those OF the
calfskin tanner, though some patent
leather is given a bark tanning. Horse
hide and colt skins are the chief feathers
made up with a patent finish, and the
process of producing the glossy surface
is most interesting.
The patent or enamel finish is really
painted and baked on, as the bicycle
manufacturer paints and bakes enamel
onto a frame. Tanners are very particu-
lar about keeping their processes a Sc
cret, and nobody but workmen are ever
allowed into the finishing rooms. Paint
ers are especially kept far from the
work rooms. It Is said that the work
men have to drink much beer on ac-
count OF the chemicals with which they
work, and the heat Of the baking ovens.
The hide or skin having been
stretched and dried as much as pos
sible, is first given a coating of mix
ture of linseed oil. litharge, white lead
or similar materials, boiled together un-
til they make a pasty mixture, This
is daubed on the surface with a steel
tool, and we'll rubbed in so that the
pores of the leather will be filled up.
Then the leather is put into the oven,
It's surface being exposed to steam pipes
at temperature of about 160 degrees.
1t takes about half day for this finish
to set.
Next the surface is rubbed down with
pumice stone, and then it is covered with
linseed oil and ivory black, about six
layers being applied, each layer being
dried and rubbed down Finally var
nish is applied, and then the surface is
rubbed down and finished off as nicely
as painter finishes fine carriage
The final gloss is brought out by ex-
posure to the sun. It is a peculiar fact
that Old Sol brings out better finish
than can any artificial drying or bal-
ing process. Manufacturers of high
grade patent leather test every skin
before shipping it. The test is made by
folding the hide or skin at any point
seized at random into double V. This
V is hammered with a mallet. If the
finish cracks, the skin is rejected, and
II it does not crack, the leather is sent
to the shoe manufacturer. A patent
finish is on smooth surface and an
enamel on a boarded. Japan or lacquer
leather is the same as patent A
boarded" surface is a surface whose
grain is raised by roughing it up with
a piece of board.-Newport News.

MOTOR VERSUS CARRIAGE.
Scientific Argument In Favor of Az
tomObiIe Supported by Anthem
tic Diagram.

Persons disposed to call In question
the easy-riding qualities of automobiles
have their opinions disputed by the fol-
lowing from Automobil-Welt, as trans
lated for Popular Mechanics:
There is the motor IN the front of
the machine, with its easy, elastic yibra-
tions. The vehicle itself swings with it,
but so softly that you don't notice it un-
less 1t stands still. When going, these
vibrations actually reduce the shocks
from rough road, which, with horse
drawn wagon. hit the body suddenly and
sarshly, throwing it from one side to
another, hard and rude, even if the
wagon has good springs. The motor
vehicle has not only good springs, but
also a lower center Of gravity, besides
pneumatic tires. by all of which the

The Insympathetic Blessing Given
n Promising Relative by Ralph
Waldo Emerson.

When young George Emerson
graduated from Harvard, he was the
first scholar in his class, and ac-
cordingly gave the grafton. DR.. Ed
ward Everett Hale tells in his
Memories of a Hundred Years" with
what an apparently unsmypathetic
blessing his cousin, Ralph Waldo
Emerson, wished the young man sue
cess in life.
The chapel, writes DR.. Hale, con-
tanned POO or 800 of his friends and
the friends of his classmates. After
the exercises were over, Dir. Hale
crossed the chapel to speak to Ralph
Waldo Emerson. who stood alone, as
it happened, under the gallery. He
introduced himself to Emerson, and
congra tulatcd him on the success of
his kinsman.
Emerson said, "Yes, did not know
| had so fine a young cousin.
And now" he added, ''if some.
thing will fall out amiss-if he should
be unpopular with his class, or if his
father should fail, or if some other
misfortune can befall him-all will
be we'll"
DR.. Hale was indignant with what
he called the cynicism of his speech.
He thought it the affectation of one
who felt that he must say something
out of the way of common congratu-
lation.
'But I learned afterward," says
DR.. Hale, what he had learned then,
that good is a good master, but bad
is a better And / do not doubt BOW
that the remark which seemed cyni-
cal was most affectionate."

Mrs. Benson's clock, after having
kept excellent time for several years
suddenly stopped. After trying for
some time to make it go, she removed
it from its shelf and sent it to a clock
repairer.

NO" she replied, 1--WE keep it in
the driest room in the house."
HAS it ever had fall into tuh

"Never."

handler way to manage the load than il
the man was up in the window and tried
to raise the same load by a rope running
straight downward to the latter. But.
after all, there is no gain in power.
Now imagine different arrangement
that shown in the diagram. Suppose
there are two pulleys, one above and one
below. Let the weight (W) be attached.
not to the end of the rope, but to the
block containing the lower pulley. Let
one end of the rope be secured to the
lower end of the upper block, and put
the other end (P) in the mans hands.
With these two pulleys he can raise near
ly twice his own weight. To lift the load
one foot he must pull two feet of rope.
and he must work twice as long as be-
fore. In all mechanical devices of this
sort, what is gained in power must be
compensated by extra time and distance.
For the sake of simplicity, the draw
ing shows only single pair of pulleys,
one in each block. 1t often happens that
there are two or three pairs, two or three
pulleys in each block, but only one rope
being used Such an arrangement gives
much more power. A single pair doubles
Tor nearly doubles) the power, two pairs
will quadruple it, and three pairs will
multiply it skiold, or nearly so. With
four pulleys, two in each block, the man
must pull down four feet of rope to raise
the weight one foot; and with six pull
leys, three in each block, he must pull
down six feet to lift 1t the same distance
Allowance must be made for the friC-
tion of the pulleys in their bearings In
the blocks. No matter how good ths
construction there must be some loss OF
power from that cause. Possibly this
item may be small, say, not over one
tenth or one-twentieth of the power eX-
pended. Still, 1t must not be overlooked.
The foregoing principles apply equal
ly, whether the power applied at p be de-
rived from man, horse or steam en-
gine. The advantage comes from null
tiplication of pulleys, and what is gained
in one way is lost in another. For load
ing and unloading steamers the block
and tackle has the added convenience
that it may be suspended from the end OF
a movable boom, which may be swung
first in ono direction an. then in the
other. Thus lateral as well as vertical
transportation is made possible. This
other convenience, however, results from
the boom, or derrick, not from the block
and tackle.

Fatigue of the Muscles.

A scientific investigation of muscular
fatigue has been begun by NJ. A. M.
Bloch. From questions sent to persons
of many occupations he finds that it is
not the most used muscles that are most
subject to fatigue, but those that are
kept under tension, although doing no
work. The back. loins and neck need
more exercise TO strengthen them, the
arms and legs less. The baker becomes
first tired in the legs, the wood sawyer in
the calves of the legs or the loins, the
road digger in the legs, the blacksmith
IN the back and loins, the young soldier
In the back of the neck, the hurseman in

BLOCK AND TACKLE.
Convenient Apparatus for Lftina
Heavy Loads with Compnra-
lively Small Power.

Familiar rs many people are with q
block and tackle, it is not everyone who
understands the principle on which that
apparatus works, or why any advantage
can be derived from its use Hence.
short explanation is permissible, says
the New York Tribune.
1t may be explained, to begin with,
that the chief benefit comes from & mul-
tiplication of pulleys. II only one pulley
be used, there may be some increase Of
convenience, but nothing is gained in
power. Suppose, for instance, that from
a point above and outside an open win
dow be secured a single pulley. over
which rope is run, so that both ends
touch the ground. Let a heavy object
be attached to one, and let man pull
down on the other If the object weighs
more than the man, he cannot start it.
1t 1t weighs less, he can. For every one
foot of descent at his end, the attached
burden will ascend exactly the same dis
tance. The lifting force e1erted on it is
equal to the pulling force at the other
end; that is, theoretically. This may be
