Synthetic inks, by means of which
writings remain invisible until the pa
per on which they are used is subject
ed to certain external influences, have
long been known. but a disappearing
paper. the decay Of which at the end
Of a fixed time destroys writing and
all, Is somewhat Of a novelty.
Such q paper. 1t appears from q
French report, was invented some time
ago. 1t Is prepared by sleeping In
acid, the strength Of which Is varied
according to the lease Of life intended
to be bestowed upon the paper. After
a longer or shorter time the paper dis.
integrates and falls to pieces. 1t Ia
suggested that this kind Of paper
would be a boon to those who do not
wish to have their letters indefinitely
preserved.

How Is carbon black made? BY
burning oil or natural gas. But the
carbon obtained from gas Is much
blacker and better than the carbon
from oil.
Gas burners are erected underneath
steel channels that move back and
forth. The carbon Is deposited on
these channels, but 1t Is constantly
scraped OF by their movement against
each other. Only Is per cent Of the
total carbon in the gas is recovered In
the form Of black; thus the waste Of
gas is enormous. Scientists are now
trying to produce carbon from gas by
mixing It with other gases without
necessitating combustion. - Popular
Science Monthly.

A Scientific Study of Southern condi
fionx

7. j. Woofter, an Athens, Ga, man,
has written one of the ablest and
fairest books on the negro yet pub
lished. While still student at the
state university Mr.. Woofter won the
Phelps-Stokes fellowship and under
took a study of the negro life which
is so great a factor in the develop
ment of the South. His work attract
ed attention, and when Dr. billiard, of
Virginia, was asked by the Federal
government to investigate and report
upon negro migration during the war,
Mr.. Woofter was chosen as one of his
assistants, making investigations in
Georgia and South Carolina From
this he was led to study conditions in
other states, the work extending
through several years. The results
Migration; Changes in Rural Organf-
zaiont and Population of the Cotton
Belt published by W. B. Gray, New
York.
From the breakup of the old order,
following the civil war, to the present,
the book is scientific study of the
human and economic problems most
vital to southern life and business.
1T is of the highest practical value in
its examination of present dissatisfac-
ton and ways of overcoming it; but
ut is especially remarkable as the work
of young man, able, thus early in
life,, to approach vexed and vexing
questions in that broad, dispassionate
temper which we have learned to as
sociate with the spirit of the true
scientist.

TO FURTHER AMEND LAW.
Women to Ask United States to Give
Them Same Rights as Men.

The ease with which the eighteenth
and nineteenth amendments to the
federal constitution were crammed
down the threats of the American
people, has resulted in encouraging
efforts to further amend the organic
law. It is reported from Washington
that upon the application of the re-
organized Woman's National Party, a
resolution will soon be introduced IN
both houses of congress providing a
twentieth amendment to the constitu-
ton, designed to do away with ''all
legal determinations against women. ;"
The proposed amendment reads as
follows:
Equal rights or abridged on
account of sex. or marriage, by the
United States or by any state or ter
ritory subject to the jurisdiction Of
the United States"
Plans will be made to lay the
amendment before the legislature of
the states for their ratification or re-
lection.

Pig Club Member Contributes

Louis Brown, a pig-club member
from Ascension parish, and presi-
dent of the Oak Grove agricultural
club, will contribute sixteen pigs to
the carload of hogs from Ascension
parish which will be added to the
trainload shipment of pig club pigs
to be made to a central market dur
ing the month of November. This
is one of the largest individual con-
trlbutions which has been received
up to date, according to the special
lists in charge of the shipment.
Young Brown is growing five acres
of corn, one-half acre of peanuts,
and four acres of sweet potatoes
with which to feed his hogs. He
has been a member of an agricul-
tural club for the past four years
and has always manifested a great
amount of interest in the work.

Meat Supply Shrinks One Half.

According to figures compiled from
the federal census reports by Her
bert Myrick, farm expert for farm
publication, the number of cattle for
each one hundred persons in the
United States is today one-third less
than in 1900; the sheep supply is
reduced nearly two-thirds, while the
number of hogs is IL per cent less
now than then. Mr.. Myrick declares
that the alarming shortage" in live
stock is such as to furnish a meat
supply only about one-half as great
for each person in the country as
formerly, and adds that ''the decline
during recent months in prices to
producers is SO utterly unjustifed as
to constitute the gravest economic
crime ever perpetrated upon the farm
ers of America.

4 CORRECT VERDICT.

The verdict rendered by the jury
ct Amite City last Wednesday, IN the
case Of the SIX Italians charged with
the murder of Dallas Gaines, meets
with the approval Of every law-abld-
ing person in the state. 1t was the only
verdict that could possibly have been
rendered under the evidence. The
guilt of the accuesd was so clearly
established by the direct testimony OF
the state witnesses, some OF whom
were themselves Italians, that any
verdict other other than guilty as
charged would have been mlscar-
riage of justice. 1t was shown that
the accused attempted to rob the bank
at independence, and when detected
| in the act by Dallas Gaines, shot him
down in cold blood in the hope of COW
ering thir tracks and make their es-
| cane. They were run down and ap-
pretended and link by link the chain
| Of evidence connecting them with the
crime was forged by the officials, un-
til. as it proved at the trial of the
case, it became, complete and per
! feet chain. A new trial will be ap-
piled for, which it is expected will
! be oveTruled. and the case will then
j be appealed to the Supreme Court; =;
but in the face of the strong evidence
adduced at the trial, all efforts to
| save the accused from the ~alley-s
seem perfectly hopeless.
| This is the first time in the history
of this country that six men have
| been found guilty of the same crime,
and their conviction will no doubt
have a salatary effect upon the crimi-
nal classes, and tend to discourage
the, commission of similar crimes.
Human life is held entirely too cheap
| in the United States This is said
by some to be due to the fact that
in many cases, because of human
sympathy, the penalty meted out to
the murderer does not fit the enor-
nifty of the crime. while in many
others the murderer escapes punish
ment altogether. For instance it is
said that there are more murders
committed in the city of New York
than in the whole of England. and the
explanation given is that in New
York, very few pay the penalty with
their lives. while in Britain, very few
escape the hangnan's moose.
The outstanding feature of the
trial is the calm aasd dispassionate
manner in which Inf 7na,aaafses Tdffder
sshe severe y Hi 5rdsaI. aNA II was feared
that and attempt might be made to do
violence to the accused when they
were brought to the parish seat for
trial, fear which seems to have been
shared by the prisoners themselves; !;
but to the credit of the officials and
citizens of the parish they decreed
fhot tbo lasr sho,15 ha aIlnwa1 to tnf-a
its course and the accused given a
fair trial and their decree was COM
plete1y vindicated.
