The generally prevailing opinion
that Cuba, just now threatened by a
negro uprising, is a black country
is not based on facts. The census
of 1907 placed the whites at 1,44O,-
013 and the negroes at sos, 1867, a
white percentage of 1913. Accord
ing to these figures Cuba is white
country by more than two to one.
1t is a fact, however, that thousands
of Cubans with just trace of negro
blood are reckoned as white, while
the same trace in this country would
array them with the blacks.

The Spice of 1t
By JAMES RAvENsCRoFT.

NlTY folks to the country go
I When they're having their vacations;
Where the milk COWS low and the roosters crow
And they set out man-size rations
They leave off starchy, padded clothes
And they roam the Mills and valleys;
And they call it great, and they say they hate
To go back to streets and alleys
Country folks to the city HE
In their recreative leisure;
Where for half the night there are lanes of light
With the lure of life and pleasure
They put on clothes they swelter in
And they go while they've cash to go on:
And going away they wish they could stay
Right there-and forth and so on.
Went to a farm" town folks enthuse
For rest from the hurry -burly"
Say the farm folk well we've been for a spell
Where they don't get up so early"
Each could have got more rest. course,
Staying at home, but that's not it;
They wanted things strange they wanted change
And couldn't rest till they got it,

everything and the public nothing.
The best steam engine does not de-
liver, in the form of work, more
than a third of the energy derived
from the burning coal.
Now. the idea of the perpetual
motion inventors is that they can
devise machine which will cheat
nature of its commissions. They
expect to set the machine going,
and then see it go on forever with
out supplying it with any energy
to keep it in action. There have
been such machines which worked
for a time, but. invariably, after a
while, they fail, and, also invaria-
bly,, it has been found that while
they did work they were obeying
the law of the conservation of en-
ergy, so that they were not really
perpetual motion machines at all.
Mr. Phin in his Seven Follies of
Science" has described a number
of these devices, about which you
might read with profit
Remember the principle is sim
ply this: There is d fixed amount
Of energy available in nature Prob
ably there is ten times, or a hun
dred times, as much energy within
our reach as we have ever utilized
That is for the future to determine.
But in any case, while we can
turn the energies of nature into a
multitude of different forms, we
can not add to their sum If we
take with one hand we must give
with the other The capital is in
variable, and nature pays no in
terest,
Now. this principle rests on hui
man experience. No departure from
it has ever been observed. Stiu,
philosopher must admit that we
do MOI know everything, and that
even experience may mislead. our
time is very short and our powers
are very limited 1t is within the
range of possibility that there is
some other law in nature which we
have not discovered. and which,
when discovered, will upset our
present science. If you believe
that YOU can discover this revolu-
tionary law, don't undertake the
Job without first educating your
self in all that is already known. or
believed to be known Then ask
nobody's advice but 60 ahead.
But, before YOU begin get to-
gether ten million, or better. a
hundred million dollars. to pay for
your experiments and to insure
yourself against the danger Of i'm

7 HAVE received letter from an
intelligent man who is evidently
well educated, except in that
which for his present purpose he
should have known best of all-the
science of physics. He has a lucra-
tive profession, and yet he tells me
that he has expended nearly all his
hard won money in unsuccessful eff
forts to perfect a perpetual motion
machine He asks for advice, but
1t is plain that he would scorn the
only advice l could give him. which
would be to either throw away his
machine at once or else to set it
aside until he has mastered the
laws of mechanics, after which he
would be sure to throw it away
without waiting for advice.
Everybody who has the reputa-
ton Of being a scientist" soon be-
comes painfully aware of the multi
tude of the worshipers of this siren
of perpetual motion They are con-
tirually asking for advice-and

Workers Become
Mere Machines.

A very great deal of what is be-
ing done is much of that order.
1t is work that runs in a rut, and
hardly is there any more thought
required in the doing of it than is
required of a car wheel in its move
ment along the railroad irons.
Workers become in that way lit
tie more than human machines,
and, like machines of the other
sort, grow worse rather than better
by the using, to be kept running till
they finally wear out, break down
and are thrown on the scrap heap.
This situation is intensified by
the increasing tendency toward the
division of labor, which is all the
time making the grooves of indi-
vidual service narrower and mar
rover, the ruts deeper and deeper,
with always less opportunity for
independent thought and action,
and thought must be independent
and action must be self determined
if it is going to conduce to the adj
vantage of the worker.
That, then, is the drift Of events
with us. That is the way things
are going.
And they are going faster ana
faster.
This is a severe criticism upon
our civilization, but it is true.

Written For The Georgian
By the Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst

IN EOPLE are educated by the
work that they do; that is,
if it is educating work. and
a good deal of it is not
A good deal of it is work that a
man might go on doing all his life
long, and at the end know no more
than he did at the beginning.
That so much of the work that is
being done is of the uneducating
kind is one of the bad fruits of our
civilization.
1t is work of the kind that is
given to the people that are down
and keeps them down. 1t is en-
ployment that is of such a sort that
it gives the worker nothing in par
ticular to think about, to exercise
his mind over, or to be interested
in.
And work that can be done with
out having to think about 1t ear
nestly and become interested in it
deeply never makes any wiser the
man that does it.
For example, man who shovels
gravel does not thereby become
more of man any more than a
steam shovel by being operated be-
comes more of a steam shovel.
And very much of the labor that
is being performed is of precisely
that character
Consider, for instance, the condi-
ton of a mill operative, ticket
chopper on the elevated railroad, a
truckman, street sweeper, a
seamstress, bank clerk, pinned
down to one particular, narrow,
repetitious line of service.

Cheaper to Plan
Than to Work.

AS that would be impracticable,
and as the collective" treasury,
being empty, would be unable to
reimburse individual holders, the
"collective' administrators of the
treasury (and only the powers above
would have an imagination fertile
enough to conceive what or who
that could be) would have to issue,
in behalf of impecunious collec-
tivity, certificates of obligation,
carrying with them, of course. an
interest pledge of. say, per cent,
the total amount of which would be
twenty billions annually
That sum it would devolve upon
the people to pay every twelve
months. except so far as the prin-
cipal was reduced by some hypo-
thetical sinking fund held by i'm
pecunious COLLECTIVELY AS said at
the outset. it is cheaper to construct

But there is also a good deal for

their possessions than to lose what
they have got-it follows that dis
possessed individual holders are to
be compensated upon surrendering
their property to collective owner

The properties thus to be sur
