aver NAV be of interest to the race.
All that could be expected Of the peo-
nile who crowd the building each day
and evening.-Since the commissioners
has never stated what is to become OF
anv money excess of the current ex-
penses; it behooves some one to raise
the question, The Broad Az wishes to
INQUIRE if the excess money is to 60 to
the state; to some charitable institu-
ton or to the commissioners. o. s.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis spoke
as did the Governor of Michigan on the
day devoted exclusively to that state
(Miehigan). Wholesome advice was Civ
en- by both of the above gentlemen, Of
the nameless development Of the race,
il is particularly noticeable, the Erie
ton Heater invented by Mr.. c. s. L.
Baker, in which it is claimed by him
that the manufacture of the medalic
which can be made cheaper than those
now in vogue. That the expense incl
dent to the cost to any one for an
engineer, a fireman, the cost Of coal, the
dust and ashes removed, will be but
an item in that this machine saves all
the above mentioned, added to this
comes the publication of what the daily
American, which has this to say, Tues.
Aug. 31.-"Negro Whipped, Heats
House without fire."
Heat without fuel-that is what one
of the Negro exhibitors at the Lin
coin Jubilee Exposition at the Coliseum
is offering the public.
Charles s. L. Baker, son Of a slave,
has eommereialiZed q thrashing given
him by his father years ago in Mis-
souri,. The result-he has developed .
process of utilizing friction for heating
water and for generating steam to run
an engine.
"Do you know what linehpin wagon
isl" Baker asked. "Wel, as a wagon
it is not so far removed from the farm
wagon Of to-day. If the wheels are
not fabricated, a hot box results.
That's what happened to me, I forgot
to grease the wooden axles of fathers
wagon. Father tried to make a trip
with it. The hub got hot, and 50 did
dad He had promised me a thrashing,
and got it."
Baker said that the resulting heat Of
that hot box and the thrashing set him
to thinking. He wondered why the
hub got hot, and first learned Of frie-
lion.
Can Heat House.
Then he tried to devise a way Of
the heat developed by frie-
ton. He went into debt for s1.25 for
two pieces of gas pipe. He put one in
side the other and filed the space be-
tween with water. Then he reverted to
the old process, praetieed by his an
.estors thousands of years ago, of
two sticks together to produce
ire, only he stopped short Of the fire
md succeeded in heating the water.
To-day he uses a small electric motor
% whiri his sticks inside q cylinder.
Within a few minutes hot water and
hen steam are produced.
al have heated railroad cars success
'ully with my patent, +" said Baker. "I

lsed waste energy. can heat an eight
Dom house or a twenty-room house
iither, from a plant in the basement or
aeh radiator can be used independent
Y with a small motor such as is used
o run a sewing machine"
Which speaks volumes for the race.
Sext comes the Electric Clock invent

he time, but in its development of
music. Mr.. Norwood "a Chicago boy)
