An Interesting account of the manner In
Which the Japanese are establishing- them
selves In Corea la riven by a Russian pa
per printed at Port Arthur. Allowance,
of course, has to be made for the aource
of information. The first move of the Jap
anese, Kay I thla Journal, was to capture
the rising generation by meant of a net
work of schools all over the country. In
which a Japanese program of atudlea waa
carried out. This vast scheme has been
prosecuted with extraordinary persever
ance. Thejr then proceeded to make the
two Important Corcon ports, Fusan and
Chemulpo, Japanese In all but name, and
to push their enterprises In all directions
throughout the country. They built the
Beoul-Chemulpo railway, and are now work
ing at a line from Fusan to Seoul. Fusan
will be the most southerly point of a rail
way system which will soon be complete.
Thousands of Coreana are working on thla
line under Japanese direction; quays are
being constructed ao that ahlpa can unload
Into the railway wagona; Japanese mer
chants have bought the beat positions on
the Una as well as around the terminus,
which la In the center of Fusan, and there
la bustle and animation in the Japanese
quarter, where broad streets have been laid
out. No foreigner can get any land there.
The Corean emperor from time to time
Issues edicts prohibiting the sale of land
by Coreana, but these are disobeyed and
the Japanese buy as briskly as ever. In
Beoul they own about one-third of the Im
movable property In the town, and in
Chimulpo the proportion Is about half,
while In other Corean towns their Interests
are almost equally Important. Japanese
money lenders make advances to the eaay
going, Impecunious Coreans on their land
and houses, which soon fall Into their
hands. Thus the Japanese are rapidly
making themselves masters of Corea In an
economical as well aa an educational sense.

Remarkable progress In productive Indus
tries, commerce, and financial strength la
reported In Italy, The rating of that coun
try In European money centers, such as
Parts, has radically changed. A few years
ago many shrewd observer believed that
Italy would bo forced to confess bankruptcy
as a nation and face revolution because of
Industrial failure and extreme poverty
among the poorer classes. Now Italy la
drawing money from foreign gold reserves.
Italian development In commerce and In
dustries Is one of the striking features of
the times. National hope and ambition reat
on a surer foundation of well-earned con
fidence than they ever did before. A
crowded country containing about 36.000,000
of people Is managing to gain ground fast
In business and Industries without much
fuel and with Its manufactures severely
handicapped by want of coal and prestige
In the world's markets. Both are very seri
ous drawbacks.
In the early part of 1897, Russia, after
the most careful preparation, undertook
the first census of the empire. The census
papers were In forty-four languages, and
most of them had to be filled In by specially
trained volunteer officials. After two yesrs
some results were made known, but they
only affected the total of Russia' a popula
tion. From time to time various figures
for different parts of the empire have been
published. For some months there have
been rumora that the oenaus was to be
abandoned, or at any rate considerably
curtailed. These reports are now confirmed.
The statistics henceforth will give much
lees Information about the population than
heretofore. There will be no distinction In
future between the temporary and the set
tled population of ' a place and especially
there will be no further subdivision into
Russian and foreigner. On this point the
census was expected to show some Inter
estlng results In the western provinces.
There Is ground for thinking that the race
tendency of' the Slav is, and has been for
long past, towards the east, and that the
Tueton Is replacing him. It waa hoped that
the first Russian cenaua would settle this
'. question, which, with many others, will
now remain unanswered. The abandonment
of the enterprise is due primarily to the
enormous cost, but the Indisposition of the
authorities to tell too much may have
something to do with It.
The fact that this year shows a falling
off of M.OOO tn the number of French re
cruits in contrast with a German Increase
of 15,000 has once more concentrated pub-
llo opinion in France upon the weighty
problem how to stop the shrinkage In pop
ulation. Senator Plot, a republican-,' who
has made this subject his own, points to
the deficit In th number of recruits as an
argument against ths withdrawal of ths
grant made by the government In support
of an Investigation by an extra-Parllamen-
tary commission appointed to study ths
question. This aotlon of the cabinet Is not
due, however, to any doubt as to the urg
ency of the evil and of the need for a
remedy, alnce the minister of war has Just
granted a much coveted privilege to mar
J ried recruits and reservists. These mar
lied soldiers are now allowed to serve
their time tn the districts where their
families dwell. It Is reported that this
concession by the military authorities has
this year led to many marriages tn Parts

The prospect Immediately ahead of Aus
tralia Is rather a gloomy one. Its states are
staggering under the burden of enormous
dbts contracted during the years of pros
perity. Interest on these runs at the high
figure of 4 per cent. Receipts of the rail
roads and other public utilities for which
the debts were Incurred have materially
diminished. The railroads of Victoria for a
portion of the last summer show a decrease
of from $40,000 to IC0.000 a week compnred
with the corresponding weeks of last year.
A public debt of Victoria that falls due In
London on January 1, 1904, Is to be met by
the Issue of what Is termed a conversion
loan, which simply means that the amount,
(17,000.000. cannot be paid or any part of It,
but that tho time of payment will be ex
tended at such rate of Interest as the credi
tor may determine. The public revenue Is
falling below the expenditure, notwithstand
ing a general percentage reduction In the
wages and salaries of state employes and
the dismissal of a large number to swell
the ranks of tne unemployed. As might be
expected, distress and discontent are al
leged to be widespread.

There has been so much cheating of cred

are not authorized to do business by the
certificate of the Insurance commissioner
of some state, seems to be needed. This
proposed measure has the support of the
national convention of state Insurance
commissioners. Can any convincing -reason

INVENTIONS OF NEGROES
Device Designed bj Thm on File in the
Patent Office in Washington,
EVIDENCE OF THE INITIATIVE FACULTY
Authenticated Cases Where Colored
Meat Have Patented Labor-Jar-ins;
Machinery Karnes of
Principal Inventors.
It Is all but universally believed that
while the nrgro possesses Imitative he yet
lacks Initiative faculty; that while he can
utilize what has already been developed he
Is wofully wanting In creative and con
structlve power. Neither his imagination
nor his intellect is deemed capable by some
people of forming new images or Ideas, or
of reassembling old ones so as to put them
to new uses.
It Is considered the function of the negro
to work with the tools and instruments
that the white man furnishes him, and not
to bother himself about the Invention of
better ones. When the master In "Uncls
Tom's Cabin" learned that his slave,
George Harris, had Invented a machine, ex
hibiting considerable skill and Ingenuity,
he expressed the prevailing feeling of his
race In the reflection: "What business has
my slave to be Inventing machines?"
So set has become the traditional atti
tude of the American mind toward, the
negro's Intellectual limitations that a lead.
Ing patent attorney In one of the New Eng
land states, responding to a circular letter
sent out by the I'nltcd States patent office
inquiring asto the number and character
of Inventions by negroes, stated that he
"did not believe the negro capable of In
venting anything but lies." This man's
mind must have been cast In the same
mould with those of the men who labored
so strenuously In ante-bellum days to de
feat the project of emancipation.
Searching; the Records,
In ISM the writer, Just then admitted Into
the examining corps of the United States
patent office, had his attention called to a
statement published tn a Richmond (Va.)
paper to the effect that no negro had ever
been granted a patent for his Invention,
and on Inquiry among the examiners of the
patent office and the attorneys who prac
ticed before the office, many of whom fre
quently came Into personal' contact wltjj
the Inventors, It Was found that more than
100 well-authenticated cases of , negro In
ventions constituted a part of the records
of the patent office. Further Inquiry from
time to time added to this list, which was
first published for use In connection with
the negro exhibit at the Cotton Centennial
in New Orleans In 1885, then at the World's
fair In Chicago In 1893, and again at the
Southern exposition in Atlanta in 1895.
During these years the patent office was
called upon very frequently by editors of
newspapers and others to furnish lists of
negro Inventions, but no systematic effort
was made by the office to collect such data
until January, 1900; and then only at the
request of the commissioner In charge of
the government exhibit at the Paris expo
sition. The object was to make a showing
at said exposition of what the American
negro had done In the field of Invention.
In pursuit of this object the then commis
sioner of patents, Hon. Charles H. Duell,
addressed a circular letter to the hundreds
of patent attorneys throughout the coun
try, to several of the large manufacturing
establishments and to prominent editors,
preachers, teachers and professional men
of the negro race, asking them to furnish
any Information at hand concerning well
authenticated cases of patents ' granted
negro Inventors. The replies coming In
from this wide field of Inquiry supplied a
most astonishing array of facts. They
showed that the correspondents personally
knew of, and could identify by name, date
and number, more than 600 patents that had
been granted by the United States to negro
Inventors. They showed further that nearly
as many more such persons had completed
Inventions of various kinds, "and had ap
plied to these attorneys and others for as
sistance In having , their Inventions pat
ented, but, lacking money to cover the
necessary expenses, they had finally aban
doned all efforts to obtain patents for their
inventions.
What the Negro Has Done.
The list shows that a considerable num
ber of colored Inventors have appeared
to set no limit to the number or the variety
of their Inventions. At the head of the
list stands the name of Elijah McCoy of
Detroit, Mich., who Is credited with having
taken out thirty-four patents on his Inven
tlona, relating particularly to lubricating
appliances for engines, both stationary and
locomotive, but covering alao a variety of
other subjects. He has succeeded In
placing hia lubricators on many of the
steam car and steamboat engines in the
northwest, and also on some of the trans
atlantic steamers. And these are said to
net him a handsome royalty. The next
name In point of number of patents Is
that of Granville T. Woods of New York,
who Is called the "Black Edison," because
of his persistent and Intelligent and suc
cessful investigations Into the mysteries of
electricity. He has obtained nearly thirty
patents for his inventions, which fover a
wtae range oi improvements in telegraphy,
telephony and phonography. One of his
patents Is for a system of telegraphing be
tween moving trains; another for an elec
trio railway; another for a phonograph.
and still others for Improvements for con
trolling the electrlo currents in telephone
and telegraphic instruments. One of his
telephone patents was sold to the Ameri
can Bell Telephone company of Boston
for which he is said to have received large
pay. Like his colaborer (Edison) In the
field of science, he seems to have given his
life to the work, and pursues It with
pertinacity worthy of the cause. For more
than twenty years his name has seldom
bem absent from the annual publication
of American patentees.
Other successful negro Inventors In the
line of electrical appliances are noted as
Nichols and Latimer, who patented an elec
trlo lamp In 1881; P, B. Downing, an eleo
trlo switch for railways in 1SS0; E. It. Rob
inson, sn electric railway trolley In 1893:
P. B. Williams, formerly a student at ths
Catholic university In Washington and at
present a teacher In the colored High school
of that city, an electro-magnetlo railway
switch in 1900; and W. B. Purvis, an elec
trio railway switch in mi.
Ths name of W. B. Purvis cornea next on
the list with eighteen patents relating
mostly to Improvements in paper-bag ma
chlnery, but covering also a few other In
ventions. F. J. Fcrrell is credited with a
dosen patents on valves for a variety of
uses; and next cornea ex-Congressman
George W. Murray of South Carolina, with
eight patents on agricultural Implements.
Henry Creamer has been granted seven
patents for as many different Inventions
in steam traps; and 8. R. Scottron has
nearly as many on a variety of subjects,
Chares V. Klchey of Washington has
patented a car coupling, a railroad switch,
a fire escape, a washboard, and a combined
hammock and stretcher. Among the other
colored residents of Washington who have
obtained patents for their Inventions
are Leonard C. Bailey for a truss that was
favorably passed upon by the Army
Midlcal Board, and for an army tent that
was recommended by the head of the army
A. F. HUyer, a clerk In the United States
Treasury department, for water-evaporating
attachments for hot-air registers, and the
late James Wormley for a life-saving ap
paratus. Record Is alno made of two
patents to F. J. Loudln, the leader of the
famous Flsk Jubilee Troupe that has cir
cumnavigated the globe.
Among the really Important Inventions
on the list, mention should be made of those
of J. E. Matzellger, who Is said to be the
pioneer In the art of attaching exiles to
shoes by machinery; and throughout the
shoemakUig district of New England, where
his machine Is known arf "The nigger ma
chine," It Is regarded as the basic Inven
tion In that art
A Gil Invented by a Kegro.
Another Invention that seems destined to
make a place for itself in the sclentiflo
world Is that of the rapid-fire gun by a
negro named Eugene Burklns. When the
gun was first patented It was extensively
noticed by the Scientific American and
other technical1 Journals, and was pro
nounced by them all as being a decided ad
vance in the art of ordnance and gunnery.
The gun is constructed with a magazine at
the breech in which a large number of
heavy shells can be held in reserve, and tn
the action of the gun these slip down to
their places and aro fired at the rate of
fourteen a minute. Tho gun is elevated
upon a revolving turret with electrical con
nections, enabling tho gunner to direct the
action of the machine with a touch of the
finger.
The writer knows of only one Instance In
which a patent was granted to a colored
woman, and that was to Mips Miriam E.
Benjamin of Boston, who obtained a patent
on a gong signal, and one on a pinking ap
paratus. It has been suggested that much of the
success attained by negro Inventors may be
traceable to the Infusion of white blood.
This proposition, generlcally stated, lacks
both novelty and proof. It has been ad
vanced with equal persistency and uncer
tainty In nearly every public discussion of
the negro's Intellectual achlcveiuer t. And
It Is a constantly asserted c alm that three
negroes who show the greatest reinforce
ment of Anglo-Saxon blood show also the
greatest development of brain power.
Effect of Blood Strains.
If one may reduce so broad a question to
the narrow Mmlts of mere Instances, It
would still be difficult to say on which aide
of the matter the truth stands. Many of
the men In the 'negro race who have ac
complished most In the field of pure litera
ture are those In whom there is not visible
single touch of Anglo-Saxon blood. Men
like Dr. Edward W, Blyden, ex-president
of the College of Liberia at Monrorcla, and
ex-minister from Liberia to the Court of
St James, whose comprehensive learning
and ripe scholarship make him a valued
contributor to the leading British maga
slnes; the late Dr. Joseph C. Price, presi
dent of Livingston college, and ex-Congressman
Robert Browne Elliott of South
Carolina, both orators of great ability; the
late Dr. Alex Crummell of Washington,
whose rare pulpit eloquence frequently at
tracted to his church services the late Gen
earl Arthur while he was president of tbo
United States; Prof. Kelly Miller of How
ard university, one of the ablest writers of
the day on politico-economic subjects, and
Paul Laurence Dunbar, the poet, are all of
this type pure black; and they have, as I
think, no peers among the race In their re
spective lines of intellectual effort.
And it is of" course equally difficult to
reach true conclusions on this subject, with
reference to . negro Inventors, for here
again the question quickly assumes a shape
that lends Itself readily to never ending
comparisons. In the field of Invention, as
elsewhere, there has not seemed to exist a
reasonable ground for assuming tha,t any
'dead line" of Intellectuality runs across
the stream of pure negro blood, for among
the inventors who are personally known to
the writer, those like Granville T. Woods,
the electrician, and Elijah McCoy, both of
whom have led all the rest in the number,
variety and utility of their Inventions; ex
Congressman Murray of South Carolina;
the Mongomerys of Mississippi, Charles V.
RIchey and P. B. Williams of Washington,
who belong to the distinctly unmixed type,
have done fully as much aa any others to
win a standing for the negro In the field
of Invention. As above stated, these facts
make It difficult, if not impossible, to de
termine what proportion of the negro's ad
vancement Is traceable to his reinforce
ment of Anglo-Saxon blood.
It Is held to be of far greater Im
portance, however, to show that the negro
as a race has actually accomplished very
much of value in the line of Invention, and
thus to show how much In error are those
who constantly assert that the negro has
made no lasting contribution to the civilisa
tion of the age.
These facts ought clearly to show that
under favorable environments the negro Is
capable of performing his whols duty in
the work of mankind, whether It be tilling
the earth w(th his hoe or advancing the
world by his thought New Tork Evening

VALUE OF VARIOUS FOODS
Maine Experiments with the Break

Brain Workers.
The Maine experiment station has re
cently made some very thorough investi
gations as to the merits of the various
cereal preparations on the market under
the generic name of breakfast foods. The ob
ject of the investigation was to test the
value of the statements made by the
manufacturers regarding the nutritive
value of their preparations. The Investiga
tions were summarized in a table showing
now much weight 10 cents will buy of
milk and flour (bread and milk) and of
each of the chief breakfast foods on the
market and also the nutritive properties
contained In each 10 cents worth. Milk
Is computed at 2 cents a pound and flour
at S cents. The other preparations at their
retail price.
Of milk and flour 10 cents buys 3 66
pounds, of which .39 pound is protein and
fat and 1.81 pounds Is carbohydrates, 1.70
pounds total nutrients. A few of the well
known breakfast foods are selected from
the table and given herewith:

It has not yet been fully determined by
physiological chemists Just what food Is the
most nourishing for brain workers. The
brain and the nerves contain ths elements
of nitrogen and phosphorus which occur
In the protein compounds, but are not
found in the true fats or the sugars or
foods containing only carbon, hydrogen and
oxygen. It Is believed, therefore, that pro
tein and other compounds containing nl
trogen and phosphorus are the proper
foods to build up brain and nerves and
keep them In repair.
