AFTER ELECTION ECHOES.

Nearly everybody who is anybody
has resolved after the election to do
this, that, and the other thing. The
cOlOred people as a race are great on
making resolutions, but greater on
breaking them. Since the ordeal of
the election has passed, The CoIored
American would like to know a few
things.
When will the leading colored
women of charitable pretensions get
together and interest themselves in
the girls reform school, exclusively
for "coIored" girls?
When will some of our legal lights
cease hippodromeing by denying their
race?
Why coIored people do not cease
knocking each other, and get together
for some common purpose?
When will another Jim Crow" car
line be admitted into the nations
capital?
When the Palais Royal began to dis
criminate against coIored teachers in
their restaurant department, when
said teachers are patrons of this great
store?
How many candidates will show up
for every Office now held by cOIored
men?
When will the coIored people learn
how to spend their money with the
merchants who seek their trade and
who are willing to recognize and con-
tribute to colored enterprises?
When will the rings in the colOred
schools be broken up?
How man of our leading business
men will go broke on the races?
How few are the men you meet
whose personal efforts secured the
election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks:
When will the gush writers in and
out of Washington city, who have
records here, learn how to hold thei1
| tongues?

Ancient Core Of ! Volcano.

The projection at the summit Of
Mont Pelee, which rose to a height Of
500 feet above the old summit Of the
mountain, promises to be one Of the
most interesting features in the study
Of that volcanic vent, says the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal Accord
ing to Heilprin, Hovey, LacrOix and
other observers, it was thrust up
through the crater at the rate Of as
much as fOrty-one feet per day, until
It stood up as a sharks tooth or ODE
1isk far above the old cone. Professor
LacroiX, who headed the commission
from the French government, decided
nearly year ago-that it was an
exceedingly viscous acid lava which
had soIidified on extrusion, and rose
vertically instead OF flowing out Of
the crater in the normal manner Of
lava streams. Now, however, Profes-
sor Angelo HeiIprin states that this
towering mass is none other than the
ancient core Of the volcano loosened
from place and pushed up bodily by
the energy at the volcanic Orifee-

JUDGE PARKER THE MAN.

Democratic Candidate Needed BY the
Country as Chief Magistrate.
The estimate Of Judge Parker's
character and abilities in both Demo

IN political and business circles can
be summed up by the general state
ment that He is a strong, safe and
conservative candidate" Nothing but

cal parties, on duty at Esopus. They
have investigated Judge Parker's
past life, occupations and present
mode Of living. They have witnessed
his methods Of handling visitors. heard
what he said on current political prob
lens, and no matter what paper they
represented they all agree. as one Of
them expresses it, that He is not a
tricky politician, but a man Of high
ideals, almost Quixotic in some re-
spects, and Of the most sensitive hon
or even in little details"
The simple truth is, Judge Parker
is not a tricky politician, is free from
vanity, is a man Of few words, has
exceptional mental vigor and capac-
ity for hard work, does not deal in
heroics or Mysteries, does not do
startling things to attract public at
tention, is tactful and courteous,
makes and holds friends, has a pune
tiliOus sense Of honor, has succeeded
in life through hard work, has a legal
training which finds expression in
profound respect for the constitution,

lawful combinations Of labor; in
word, respects the respective rights
of capital and labor, and if elected

ticians, nor yet by his own vanity,

A New Political orqanizstion.

The American Federation Of Labor,
which has an organization in every
city and many villages, does not per
NIT political action, but is non-parti-
san. The leaders have found, how
ever, that Congress will not heed
their request for legislation unless
the individual member Of Congress is
brought to fear defeat If he does not
vote for such laws as labor demands.
The labor leaders at Washington,
after two months Of executive meet
ings and consultations, have organ
lied the Labor LyceUm and Bureau
Of Information" whose objects are
set forth to be: The discussion of
economic questions as they relate to
the educational, social, and industrial
conditions Of the wage-workers Of the
United States; to collect and dissem-
mate legislative data relative to labor
measures submitted to the Congress
Of the United States; to ascertain, as
far as possible, the attitude Of sen
atOrs and representatives toward such
measures, and forward such informa-
ton 70 their respective constituencies
and TO advise the use Of the initiative
and referendum in the election Of
federal and state legislators
One clause Of the constitution pro-
vides that anyone who is a member
Of a trades union in the United States
may become a member Of the Labor

The inspiration Of the organization
is said to have been the treatment Of

tinted closely at present, and with

Protection for x-Ray Operators.

Protection for E-Ray Operators
Mrs. E. INSTRUMENTATION Of
San Francisco is said to be the first
photographer to use a glass screen in
X-ray practice. She says a double
plate glass screen is the most serv-
iceable device for preventing injury
to the operator and that it can be ap-
piled equally to radiotherapy and radi-
ography. After some experimenting
she ordered the construction after her
own plans Of a vertical plate glass
screen, feet in width and reaching
to Z height Of five and One-half feet
from the floor. During the last four
months the screen has been in con-
slant use in her laboratory. While
operating she keeps it between her
body and the tube whenever it is pos
sible, her exposed hand being pro
tected by the usual rubber glove She
has found that the heavy plate glass
screen possesses all of the advantages
Of lead plates in preventing the pass
age Of the rays, with the important
addition Of permitting an unobstructed
view Of the subject and Of the X-ray
tube in order to Judge OF the intensity
Of the ray. Glass is Opaque to the
X-rays in greater or less degree &C
eOrding to it's thickness. Lead, alum
inium, iron and copper resist the rays

There are two species Of larvae
which bore into the trunk Of apple
trees, and when numerous they cause
the death Of the tree. The mature
beetles Of both species lay their eggs
during the month of June, on the
bark Of the trunk, and the young lar
vac upon Matching penetrate into the
wood, where they develop in size, tun-
neling galleries which increase il
diameter as the larvae become mature.
The principal remedy generally rec
commended against these insects is the
use Of alkali washes on the bark dur
ing the month Of June to prevent the
female beetles from laying their eggs.
& good receipt which we recommend
is soft soap reduced to the consistency
Of thick paint by the addition Of a
strong solution Of washing soda in
water. II applied with a brush about

larvae from their burrows by the help

Automatic Pump of Great Power.

Automatic Pump Of Great Power.
C. A. Arnsberger, an engineer Of
Rudy, Idaho, has Just received pat
ent letters for an invention that he
has been working on for years, and
which promises to reTolutionize GER
tain features Of mining and irrigating
operations. It consists Of an auto
matte quadrupIe action force pump
that increases the outflow Of water
by four times that Of the ordinary
force pump requiring the same motive
power.
Some Of the great advantages
claimed for this pump are that # can
be operated at any speed; that it can
be made up in any size; that it works
on a central pivot and is at All times
on an even balance regardless OF the
depth Of the well or the volume Of
water being raised. There is 10 lost
motion. Il throws Just as much water
when the lever is going up as 1t does
when il is going down II is able to
raise water at great height without
much additional power, for the reason

He looked so young and innocent
Baid the lawyer who was telling the
story, that I couldn't bring myself
TO believe he was guilty. While was
in court he was arraigned or a charge
Of picking pockets. He was without
friends and was not represented by a
lawyer. Something in his appearance
attracted me, and 7 volunteered to de-
fend him The evidence against him
was very strong. but fought the case
to the bitter end and succeeded in
clearing him.
The next day I received q visit
from my client, who assured me, with
tears in his eyes, that he never could
repay me for what 1 had done. Then,
very much to my surprise, he put his
hand in his pocket and asked me how
much he owed me-
-'SuppOsing that he was green and
had an idea that my bill would be for
a dollar or so, thought I would stag
ger him, so I put it at 800. But he
pulled & large roll Of bills out Of his

me again, and left me staring at the

Help Judged Andrew Carnegie BY His
"ReeIigious" Music.
It IS a fact not generally known that
Andrew Carnegie has the organ
played every morning in his Fifth
avenue mansion when he is in New
York. This practice of the irOnmas-
ter has given his servants the impress
sion that their master is a church
going Christian more especially as he
insists on his help-whO, by the way,
are all ScOJch-gOing to church every
Sunday.
This belief Of the Carnegie servants
gavga newspaper man a great deal Of
work and led to his being rebuked by
Mr.. Carl Schurz, neighbOr Of Mr.. Car
negie, recently. The library giver has
been reported as saying that he had
ceased to pray twenty years ago, and
the scribe was sent out to ascertain
Mr.. Carnegie's religious prOclivities if
possible. Mr.. Carnegie himself was
away.

man who answered the reporters ring.
