SLAVERY OF COLONIAL DAYS
More Than Half Million Whites
Were Held in Bondage During
That Period.

Could we draw the curtain which
conceals the life of prehistoric people,
we should see that the servant prob
lem is as old as the human race. In
deed, If 1t were possible for extremes
to meet, cave-dweHers and denizens Of
twentieth century sky-scrapers would
doubtless converse alphabetically on
this never-ending problem. It's exist
ence is due to the universal desire of
man to use the strength of others for
his own profit and pleasure-an I'M
changeable trait of human nature.
During the colonial period of our
history, service was performed in the
main by two classes-the negro slave
and the indentured white servant,
writes Prof Marcus W. Jernegan in
Harper's Magazine. The white serv-
ant. semislave, was more important
in the seventh century than even the
negro slave, in respect to both num-
bers and economic significance. Per
maps the most pressing of the early
needs Of the colonists was for a GER
tain and adequate supply of labor. 1t
was the white servants who supplied
this demand and made possible a rap
i'd economic development, particularly
of the middle and southern colonies
In 1858 there were 10000 of these
semtslaves in Virginia, composing
about one-sixth of the population,
while nearly two-thirds of the immi-
grants to Pennsylvania during the
eighteenth century were white serv-
ants. Every other colony made great
er or less use of them, and it is likely
that more than half million persons
were Of this class during the colonial
period.

MISTAKES OF A SCIENTIST
Sir George Airy's Predictions About
Atlantic Gable and Big Ben Were
Proved Wrong.

Sir George Biddell Airy, British
astronomer royal. told the pioneers of
the first Atlantic cable that it was a
mathematical impossibility to sub
merge the cable to the necessary
depth. and If 1t were possible no sig
nails could travel through SO great a
distance, Sir George was also asked
about the possibility of making Big

piled that no clock exposed to the
weather could run with so small an
error The late Lord Grimthorpe, how
ever. said he would guarantee the de-
gree of exactness. and by designing
his gravity escapement he produced
timepiece that is never five seconds
out with the observatory at Greenwich
to which it signals its time each day.
and on most days is dead true.

Baboon on the Rampage.

A baboon which escaped from a
