He continued

1T seems 20 me that this is the
reductio ad absurdum with refer
ence 20 the suggestion that expatri-
alton is a solution OF this question
The solemn. scientific statement Of
a man that the races cannot live
together. even though Il appears in
a Congressional Record. ought not
TO occupy our minds for a moment:
because they are living together
and they have lived together for over
hundred years. Now. the ques-
ton is whether we or they. or all
OF us together can make that liv-
ing together better for both races.
Il is a problem that is set before us
and it does not help as to say that
We cannot work IL out.
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1909-11-27

Mr.. Taft then is OF the opinion
that he should recognize this race
feeling TO the extent OF pandering TO
ir and that we should not dispose
OF IL by saying that it should not
exist Well what is the difference
.of disposing OF Il by saying that q
should not exist and disposing Of
liz by saying that IL does exist and
by complying with the demands
.of those who cater TO and ap-
prove this racial antipathy. Pres
ident Taft then asks question
ton that he asks. lie says:
Now how are YOU going to wipe
it out 90 the extent OF making IL
so that 10 shall not produce injustice
and lack OF harmony between the
two races2 Well, ] think YOU are
going to work il out.
This is what We call in plain
English begging the question.

THE PICTURE IN DISGUISE

0F the strange vicissitudes through which
~ 1nanv Of the worlds famous pictures have
passed, perhaps none was odder than that
OF The Picture in Disguise" a magnificent
painting that now adorns the residence of Lord
Leigh in Warwickshire, England.
This remarkable picture for many wears APP
peared to be merely painting of flowers. The
floral study was, however, finally pronounced
by an astute art dealer to be in reality mask
for another painting. With the permission OF
the owner he caused the painting of flowers
gradually to be removed, whereupon there was
discovered underneath very fine portrait of
Charles L. by Nandvke.
While no authentic record of this MASTER
piece has been found it is supposed that the por-
trait was disguised by some Royalist in order to
guard against its destruction by Roundheads
during the Revolution.

CURIOUS CHINESE PREJUDICE

A CURIOUS illustration of oriental preju-
dice was recently afforded in the expert
ence of London banks having occasion to for
ward large sums of gold coin to China. 1t was
aScertaincd that the Chinese would accept no
sovereigns bearing the familiar Saint George
and Dragon on the reverse side, as the Dragon
plays an important role in matters religious in
the Flowery Kingdom, and its representation
the English coins is abhorrent to the Celes-
tal mind The London consi ignees were there
fore obliged to select older coins, bearing on
the reverse side shield instead of the afore-
mentioned Dragon.
\ queer result of this is that the older coins
are now quite scarce in Great Britain, only
about five thousand remaining in general circu-
lation. Thus it may be that at some future time
the British Government may have to mint a
special variety of sovereign for shipment to the
Orientals-a variety that shall in no wise
offend the susceptibities of those desirable
patrons.

Getting After Moths

Settln2 Alter NOtnS
THIS Government is active Just now III in
PRODUCING parasites OF the gipsv and brown
tailed moths. These insects have been intro
duced from abroad into New England, have no
natural enemies in this country. and as a con-
sequence have multiplied rapidly as to
threaten all the trees of the section in which
they occur In Europe and Japan they have
ALWAYS existed, and SO have their parasites,
which are not particularly destructive. Our
import trade in insects is at present confined
largely to parasites of this moth.
There are number of varieties of flies not
greatly different from the ordinary kind, which
have formed the hit abroad of laying their
eggs in the bodies of the Young of the moths. and
these, Matching out, devour the embryonic
moth. The manner OF importation IS through
gathering the moth Larvae already i1npregnated
with the fly eggs and bringing them over in that
condition. Great colonies have already been
established in New England, and their counter
acting effect is already being felt.

WINTER WOOD.
II Makes the Best and Most Lasting
Kind of Timber.

Kind of Timber.
1t has long been known that winter
was the best time of the year for cut.
ting down trees for their timber, but
until the American bureau of forestry
published the results of some expert.
ments no one was sure why The bu.
reau of forestry selected four pine
trees of the same age and of equal
vigor growing in the same soil, and
felled them, the first at the end of
December, the second at the end Of
January, the third at the end of Feb.
ruary and the fourth at the end OF
March. They were hewn into logs of
the same size and dried at the same
place Then the logs were tested.
The December log resisted a 1exile
strain twice as strong as that which
the March log resisted. 1t furnished
piles which were still perfect and un.
decayed sixteen years later, while the
piles made from the March log had
rotted within three or four years.
Wood that is felled in December is
less porous than that cut at other
times. 1t has been proved that oak
felled in the spring allowed water to
percolate through it in from two to
three hours, while similar wood cut in
December was seemingly impermeable.
There is very simple method of as
three hours, while similar wood cut in
winter or in spring. The former con
tains floury particles, which turn blue
when tincture of iodine is poured upon
them. The latter preserves its natural
tint or merely becomes a little darker
at the contact OF iodine.-New York

the various organizations engaged
in the warfare against tuberculosis.
But more than all Of these individ-
ual agencies, the national assoc,a-
ton believes that the press is the
greatest means of educating the
masses concerning this disease. If
the present rate of interest on the
part of the newspaper world con-
tinues, it is estimated that within a
few years every man, woman, and
child in the United States will have
learned the simple doctrines of tu-
berculosis.

COPIED NAPOLEON.
South American Dictators Who imf'
tated the French Despot.

tated the French OeSpot.
The dictatorship of Castro in Vene-
zuela has been compared with that OF
President Francia, who terrorized Par
aguay for over thirty years. Francia
was worshiper of Napoleon, whom
he endeavored to initiate in every pos
sible way. He possesses only one por-
trait of his idol, a German caricature,
which depicted the emperor wearing
an exaggerated version of the famous
gray overcoat. Francia took this pic
ture seriously and for many years pa
raded the streets of Asuncion clad in
a gray dressing gown and n cooked
hat, which he fondly believed to be
the habitual garb of the French des-
pot.
Castro's most distinguished predeces-
sor was also a Napoleon devotee, but
Bolivar had seen his idol and could
thus initiate him more faithfully. He
managed to acquire the emperors
brusque speech and other mannerisms,
pulled peoples ears when in good
humor and dictated dispatches to sew
eral secretaries at once. He founded
an order closely modelled on the Le-
gion of Honor surrounded himself
with a guard Of negroes from Haiti,
after the style of Napoleon's name
lukes, and endeavored to codify the
laws of his country. When he return
ed to America after witnessing Napo-
Icons coronation Bolivar entered Ca
racas standing in a Roman chariot
drawn by twelve maidens belonging to
the first families of the town.-London
Chronicle.

BRIGHT Prospects.

We don't all look at questions OF
ethics in the same way. A young
