BY studying the light emitted by a

optical methods to determine the tenn

weight. Observations on the nebula
in Orion have been pursued since 1911.
By studying the lines in the spectrum

Of the hydrogen in the nebula is about
$1,000 degrees. The double ultra VIC

as the atomic weight Of this unknown

to the medical profession among the

Although comparatively young in
years, he is ripe in that kind of med
ical experience and skill which counts
for SO much in his work. The heights
to which he has already attained in
his profession and the large place
which he has made for himself among
the public would be considered by
some a fitting climax with which to
close a career of great usefulness. He
is untiring in his efforts to excel in his

Of every opportunity for study and

knowledge and experience.
Henry Clay Bryant received his first
college training at the famous Fisk
university at Nashville, Tenn. On
leaving Fisk DR.. Bryant entered the
medical school Of Northwestern uni

was graduated with honors. His first
service as a physician Was as an in

NEW BOOK BY Or. Du BOTS.

Home Library Issues Valuable Work
by Noted Scholar and Publicist.
The little volume entitled 1.-THE Ne
gro," written by DR. Nv. e. B. Du Bots,
editor of the Crisis. and Issued by the
Home University Library Of Modern
knowledge. is the most scholarly AID
accurate book on the Negro race In
early times In Africa that has yet been
written. The author treats his subject
In logical order from the beginning OF
the race in Africa, through the wears
Of its meanderings as tribal fnhabir
ants crude and unlettered. through the
slave trade to high culture and refine
ment. DR.. Du Bots Is very sure of the
fact that there are nc definite lines Of
separation for the various races. The
backwardness Of the black race in AZ
RIGA the author attii utes to the fact
that the interior Of IN ia did not fur
nish sufficient protection from nya-
sion, as is true of those in&he Nile val.
ley or in Europe.
AS to Negro culture In Africa. the
book shows that at the time when Co
lumbus was discovering America full
blooded black, Mohammed Askia. was
ruling over an empire as large as all
Europe. On his pilgrimage to Mecca
he was accompanied by "a brilliant
group Of scholars and holy men, with a
small escort of 1900 soldiers and $9,-
100000 in gold. He stopped and con-
suited with scholars and politicians
and studied matters Of taxation,
weights and measures, trade, religious
tolerance and manners. The Univer-
sity of Sankore became a center Of
learning In correspondence with Egypt
and north Africa and had a swarm Of
black Sudanese students. Law, Htera-
ture, grammar, geography and surgery
were studied"
The chapter on african Culture"
tells of the achievements Of African
Negroes as workers in iron, bronze,
copper, wood and pottery, recalLng that
"Schweinfurth, Won Luschan, Boaz and
others incline to the belief that the
Negroes invented the smelling of iron
and passed it on TO the Egyptians and
TO modern Europe"
All this was swept away by the slave
trade, says DR.. Du Bots, who estimates
that every slave imJsorted to America
cost five corpses in Africa or on the
high seas and that the American and
Arabian raids together meant the
death, expatriation or forcible migra-
ton Of at least 1OOOOO,0O0 natives.
"And yet people ask today the cause Of
the stagnation of culture In that land
since 1900"
DR.. Du Bots pays glowing tribute to
the Negro race in America in the last
two chapters of his book. He believes
that the fifteenth amendment to the
federal constitution is our bulwark of
protection and lauds the manly spirit
and courags* us. action of our people
during the reconstruction period follow
ing the close of the civil war. The book
should be in every home for the in
struction and inspiration which it is
sure to give to the youth of the race.

Birmingham, Ala.-The large number
Of well qualified men and women Of
our race in the south who have made
and are making their mark in the va
rious professions, religious work and
In business has often been the subject
Of comment in other sections of the
country. Not only have these persons
risen to prominence in their own local
sphere, but their influence in many in
stances is national. Be it said also
to their credit that they come from
some of the best institutions of learn
ing in both the south and the north.
The fact that so many Of them have
settled in the south to work out their
destiny among our people, where in
many instances they may the better
serve the race, is high compliment
to their education and desire for racial
advancement. The same may be said
Of hundreds of the same class In the
north, but not to such high degree
when the matter of remuneration for
service is taken into consideration. In

Cleveland, O.-The last week of the

mer Secretary of State Daniel ]. Ryan,
Robert B. Barcus and the local branch
Of the National Association For the

lumbus, O., who got into the fight
against a certain photo play, ended
successfully.
How much justice there is in the
manifestly unfair claim of a persistent
Columbus writer that Messrs. Ryan,
Barcus and others are entitled to all
credit for influencing the governor OF
this state and the state board of cen
sors against permitting the play to
show in Ohio can be seen at glance.
says the Hon. Harry G. Smith.
Especially is this true when 1t is re-
membered that months ago Governor
Frank B. Willis promised the editor
Of the Cleveland Gazette in personal
interviews at Columbus and In numer-
Gus letters, some of which have been
published, that the play in question
would not be allowed to show in the
state. This was months before Messrs-
Ryen, Barcus and the Columbus
branch of the National Association For
the Advancement Of Colored People
made a move in the matter.
