Communications believe that such 9 congress will be of great scientific value and at the same time lead to a better
 understanding between the Germanic
 races" Germans in all lands have common interests which may be pro-
 noted by meeting together and organ lizing cooperation. It is noted that immigration into the United States in
 recent years has ceased to be predomi-
 nantly Germanic. but has assumed a
 preponderatingly Romanic and Slavic
 character. It will be one of the objects of the congress to study this phenome- non and it's probable effects. "The rep lresentation of the several Germanic el-
 ements." it is held. "as well as of the inon-Germanic races. must be determin- ed before we can forecast the character of the future American nation" Pan-
 Germanism as political element is not included in the programme of the Ali lance. The invitation to attend is ex- tended to the Germanists of all lands. Ito specialists in ethnology, in German. American. English. Swedish. Danish,
 Dutch and other Germanic languages
 and literature, and also to ethnological and ethnographical societies.
 This congress will be a great and in Istructive meeting. The Germans are having much to do with the progress of the world

Chicago general reputation isn't any, thing to brag of, but it shouldn't be for gotten that that wild and wicked city has already started out to have a Fourth Of July that shall not be as noisy and destructive as battle. We take pleasure in noticing that Chicago Iisn't the only city in the land where it is felt that the Glorious Fourth has been too gloriously noisy and damag- ling. One of these thoughtful places is near New Haven, or. at least, nearer
 New Haven than Chicago is. The Prov
 idence aldermen have before them a
 measure which provides that NO per- son or persons shall keep or suffer to be
 kent for sale, or sell or suffer to be
 sold within the city any India crackers,
 cannon crackers or f1re-crackers or
 blank cartridges of whatever name or size or by whatever means exploded;
 and no license to keep or sell fireworks shall be construed to authorize the keeping for sale or the sale of such crackers or of such blank cartridges. This rule shall go into effect and be- come operative on. and after January A. D., 19O5'
 The only defect in this measure is the time set down for it to go into effect The Providence Journal recommends that the date be changed to the 18th of next month so that the very next Fourth may be less deadly than others have been. We hope that the Providence city Fathers will be blessed with wis dom and humanity enough to pass this measure and thus set as good an exam pie as Chicago.

THE ANTARTIC CONTINENT

That a vast Antarctic continent ex- ists, perhaps twice as large as that of Europe. would seem to be proved by the reports now appearing of the recent explorations in that region. The American Commander Wilkes, return ing from the Far South in 1s4l, as- serted the existence of a vast South Polar continent, and described his voy- age of 1,50o miles in sight of the coast.

THE NEGRo,S NEEDS.

Governor Vardaman of Mississippi made stir while ago by an address in which he didn't allow the negro many rights and privileges. Governor Blan- chard of Louisiana has just made his
 inaugural address, and it is not an inn itation of Governor Vardaman's. Gov ernor Blanchard says: .'The negro is here. He is a man and a citizen. He is useful and valuable in his sphere.
 Within that sphere he must be guar anteed the equal protection of the law, and his education along proper lines, mainly agricultural and industrial. is at once a duty and necessity He must be protected in his right to live peaceably and quietly, in his right to labor and enjoy the fruits of his labor. He must be encouraged to industry and taught habits of thrift" But though Governor vardaman admits that the ne- gro is a man and citizen, and urges the education of him in order to fit him for useful citizenship, he protests against social equality for the race as strenuously as any southerner could ask. Separate schools, separate cars, separate churches, separate places of entertainment" he says. will be en- forced for the two races
 Governor Blanchard's words will en- courage the true friends of the negro who are not laboring to get him into Society, but who are laboring to get ,him the privilege of peaeably living and working.

A writer in the American Journal of Pharmacy declares that about three fourths of all the medicinal plants used in the pharmacopoeia either grow wild or are cultivated in this country. Of the remaining fourth, he thinks that probably one-half could be grown in this country, leaving but a compara- lively small number of plants that could not be economically grown.

 The t'gossip party is the latest in Paris, and is said to have originated with an American hostess. The guests are arranged in pairs, and a settled subject is then announced. upon which each pair has to talk for ten minutes. Then a bell is rung and the guests are arranged in fresh couples, with another prescribed topic of conversation. Thus every man present talks with every wo- man, and at the close of the evening prizes are awarded to the man and wo- man who, by the votes of the opposite sex, are held to be the most interesting conversationalists.

The school is for apprentices between twenty-five and thirty years old who are employed in the Dresden car shops. Among the subjects taught are German, arithmetic, graphics and the mechan- ism of locomotives.

President Jesse, of the Missouri State university, thinks that the right kind of farming pays. He says: Unless the boy has a deep-seated preference for some other profession it does not seem to me wise for him to ignore the great opportunities that agriculture offers, whether he was born in the country or in the city. In my opinion, no other occupation offers so rich rewards, all things considered, as agriculture offers to those who are willing to train them selves for it as earnestly and intelli- gently as they would train themselves for law or medicine. If boy will put the same amount of time and study into his training for agriculture he would put into his training for law or medicine he will, in the great majority of cases, make more money, enjoy greater freedom, better health, and de- Welop stronger character.

Evangelistic campaigns have just been conducted in Chicago, Pittsburg, Columbus and some other western cit ies by the Presbyterian evangelistic committee. and their results assure their conductors that "the mouthing over that particularly reckless and in- considerate dictum heard of late in various quarters that 'revivalism is played out" ought to cease. iOld-fash toned evangelism is still found effec- tive, "even in the most modern and bustling and worldly of our cities,' and is yet force to be reckoned with. In summing up the work of the year the secretary of the committee says that the Church is in the best spiritual con- dition for years. Evangelism is not dead within it, it is not spent force, but a growing one, and the outlook for continued usefulness was never bright CT.

GAMBLING FOR A CHURCH.
Blacksmith of Alsatian Village Had
a Dream and Strange Things
Resulted.

About the middle of the last century,
when the German Bund sat at Frank
fort, I was an attache to our legation
there, and as Homburg was close by.
spent a good deal of my time in that
cheerful spot, writes Henry Labouchere,
in London Truth.
The most curious thing that saw was
this: A church in an Alsatian village
was damaged by fire. The village black
smith dreamt that he made a machine
which, when wound up, Threw out a
counter with a number on it every five
minutes. He went in his dream to HON.
burg with the machine, played on the
number and won enough to restore the
church. When he related his dream to
his fellow villagers money was sub
scribed, the machine was made and he
was sent to Homburg with a small cap-
ital
Every day for week the machine was
placed in the gambling room under his
supervision, two peasants stood at the
roulette table to play and the village
priest walked up and down the room
praying. At the end of the week the
requisite amount was won. The priest
assured me that this was the result of a
miracle. He may have been right or he
may have been wrong. Anyhow. the
morey was won and the village church
restored.

The borax fields of the United States
are mainly in the desert dry lake. re-
gion of southern California, though de-
posits are found also in Nevada and Ore
gon. Borax was first produced in the
United States in 1864, at Borax Lake.
California. The borax was contained
in the water of the lake and was OBJ
tanned by evaporation. X
The saline crusts of the so-called
dry lakes or borax marshes of the Mo-
have valley were next mined for borax,
and afterward, about 1888, work. was be-
gun on the beds of colemanite, or borate
of lime, in San Bernardino county, CAL,
from which most of the borax mined in
the United States has since been OBJ
tanned. =.
The amount of crude borax produced
in, the United States in 1908 was 34,430
short tons, valued at 1851 400. The pro-
duction in 1902 was II ,404 short tons of
refined boraX, valued at $2,447,614
and 1900 short tons of crude borax,
valued at $4,000; total of 20
004 short tons, valued at $2,538,614.
Of the refined borax 1862 short tons, val
ued at $15O,00O, were boric acid. Had
the valuation in 1903 been taken on the,
refined instead of the crude product the
figures would have been $2,735,00O in
stead of 1861, 400.
The amount of borax, borates and
boric acid imported into the United
States in 1902 was 1,694,251 pounds,
valued at 1926. In 1903 the amount
imported was 9C9,251 pounds, valued at
$47O18.
Refneries for borax are located at
Bayonne, N. j., Brooklyn, N. Y, New
Brighton, Pa, Chicago, ILL.,, and San
Francisco, CAL, where various more or
less secret processes are employed to
convert the crude material into products
designed for various uses.

of the hard, tough grades of glass and
of encaustic tiles are large users of bo-
rax. 1t is used by painters, tanners,

The domestic uses of borax are widely
known, and in chemistry and metallur-
gy the borates are employed in many
ways.
A clear account of the borax industry
in the United States is given in a
pamphlet entitled "The Production of
Borax in 1903," by Charles G. Yale,
forming chapter in Mineral Re-
sources of the United States, 1903"
from which the above facts have been
taken. This pamphlet, which contains
detailed statistics covering the produc-
ton and importation of borax in 1902
and previous years, is printed for gra-
tuitous distribution and may be had by
application to the director ofthe United
States geological survey.
