CAPITAL CAUCASIAN
CHRISTIANITY.

The Washington Herald, in a recent
issue, has a long-winded editorial on
the goodness of the people of the
Capital City and among other things
says that the lives of the residents
are in keeping with the highest ten
cts of Christianity. :. --:-:,. - So,
This may be true in some respects
but when the color-line is reached
the Caucasians of Washington do not
follow the tenets of the meek and
lOwly Nazarene. In no city in the
United States is there more bitter
race hatred, and there is less reason
for it than in many other places.
While there are many bad Afro
Americans, the percentage of intelli-
gence, refinement and wealth is large,
but this seems to infuriate the alleged
Caucasian Christians and cause them
to hate their Afro-American brethren
the more bitterly.
The Caucasian hypocrisy has been
|strikingly shown on several occasions
within the past year. In one fashion
able street, there is a block contain
ing many fine residences. Among
them, however, are a few shacks oc-
cupied by low-grade Afro-Americans,
but the aristocratic whites and lowly
blacks have lived in harmony for
many years.
Last year wealthy Afro-American,
with an income of about $4,000 per
annum, purchased one of the fine
houses and moved into it. The gentle
man is man of the highest charac-
ter, his wife is a lady of refinement,
a graduate of one of the leading
American universities and also a
graduate of a famous German conser-
vatory of music, in fact the entire
family is infinitely superior in every
respect to any white family in the
block, but the Caucasian Christians
became indignant at what they called
a NEGRO INVASION" and began to
move away one by one and now they
have all gone, many who owned their
own home having sacrificed them to
get away from Afro-American Chris
tians
And by the way, it was committee
of Washington Christians which de-
creed that no Afro-Americans should
be permitted to take part in the Sun
day school parade in that city last
year.
Few Caucasian Christians live up to
the highest tenets of Christianity
when the color-line is reached. ga. go ?

MODERN BALLOON GAS BAGS
Made OF Cotton Fabric Coated With
India Rubber to Assure Perfect
lmpermeabiiity.

The gas bags of modern balloons
are made of cotton fabric coated
with India rubber in the most careful
manner In order to assure perfect
lmpermeability without sacrificing
hghtness. For all large balloons. and
especially for dirigibles, two layers OF
cloth are superposed and cemented to-
gether. The outer skin is covered with
india rubber on one side only, but the
inner skin is coated on both sides,
In German balloons the inner canvas
Is cut straight and the outer canvas
is cut bias In this construction
cores with angles of 45 degrees are
used and the seams. are covered
which causes slight increase in
weight. French balloon makers pre-.

A SLOVAK PROTEST.

Great credit is due the slavic citi-
zens of Chicago for their protest to
the Union League Club against the
presence Of Count Apponyi at the
Peace Dinner on Washington's birth
day Count Apponyi had already de-
clined the invitation on the ground of
previous engagements and for this
reason the club escaped the embar-
RAISING necessity Of deciding whether
to withdraw it.
1t is asserted by those who joined in
the protest that Apponyi represents
the worst form of tyranny in the Hun
garian government and that he is not
an exponent of universal peace. The
protestants who number 100000 claim
The Appeal., 1911-02-25

that Apponyi was responsible for the
massacre of innocent people, who were
that "He is known in all the world
as the representative of the Hungari-
an government system, which means
a continual chain of political, national
and social crimes perperated against
the Slovaks and other non Hungarian
nations in Hungary"
1t is right that the Slovaks should
protest against their arch enemy. It
is always right to protest against
wrongs. The Afro-Americans in this
country suffer many wrongs because
they sit silent when a protest should
be made.

THE DEADLY TYPEWRITER.

The Washington Post reveals the
startling fact that the typewriter de-
serves place among the death-deal-
ing inventions Of the 10th century.
The facts in the case are these: A
New Jersey firm sent a typewriter
communication in reference to a busi-
ness transaction to a Kentucky noun
taineer. The Kentuckian responded
as follows:

Al Electric scarecrow.

So familiar have electric bells be.
come to most of us that even their
sound at unexpected times or in un-
usual places rarely startlea US. Not
so with birds, to whom the sudden
ringing OF bell on a tree or a post
means something far more uncanny
than any scarecrow Tapping in the
wind. Knowing this, the head master
!of an Austrian school has patented an
electric scarecrow system in which a
CLOCK makes the connections at irregu-
lar intervals to electric bells scatter

ringing OF the bells, now here, now

head rest for the tub. This head rest
Is made of piece Of heavy wire bent

spring support for the back of the
head and leaving hooks by which the
device may be hooked over the end

bath for the stimulation given their
tired bodies by the hot water wish to
lie at ease, but have no place to put
