6 THE RACE PROBLEM. The Economic Association the Possible Africanization of America. The members of the Washington branch of the American Economic association indulged in some interesting reflections last night at their meeting at All Souls’ church on the subject of the Africanization of this country. In the ab- sence of both the president and vice-president, Mr. E.T. Peters, of the Agricultural depart- ment. was called to the chair. The discussion was precipitated by the reading of a paper by Mr. R. Stein, of the geological survey, on the subject: ‘Are we to become Africanized?” Mr. Stein's view of the situation was somewhat gloomy, at least from the white man’s point of view, and in general he prophesied a danger of the fulfillment of what his subject suggested. His paper was mostly a review of an article by Mr. Gannett, under the same title, in the Pop- ular Seience Monthly for June, 1885. Mr. Gan- nett pointed out by census figures that the negroes of this country are not increasing as rapidly as the whites, MR. STEIN'S FIGURES. The figures as presented by Mr. Stein, also taken from the census, showed an increase of 34.55 percent for colored people, 29.22 per cent for whites aud 20.84 per cent for whites without counting immigration. As there has always been some doubt about the accuracy of the of the census of 1870, the truth of these figures is by no means absolute, and Mr. Stein, recognizing this fact. concluded that the colored increase was probably about 30 per cent, and the white increase, without immigra- tion, about 23 percent. He argued that we need more and more intelligence and morality im our voting population, and that the imcrease of the less intelligent race over the whites presented an alarming social-political problem. The colored people form about 41 per cent of the entire population in the south, and the time is not far distant when the population in many southern districts will be African. ‘Travellers in the south have brought away with them vague im- pressions that in colored families the children number from eight to ten, while in white fam. ilies they number but from four tosix. In New England t ve population is about station- ary, if not retrograding. The white population js far from able to compete with the negro in the multiplying power, and the prospect is that the negro will gain even more rapidly in the | future. WHITER O@ BLACKER? There is another question to consider, Mr. Stein said, and that is whether the negro is growing whiter or biacker? Yet on the whole it is better, in view of the uncertainty of the census figures, on which all arguments must be based, to postpone a decision of the problem until after the taking of the census of 1890. In conclusion the speaker painted arather gloomy | picture. Shall we, he asked, look forward to the time when the only evidence that a pure white race once dwelt in the south will be the presence of our statuary? THE DISCUSSION. The discussion following the paper was started by Mr. Erwin F. Smith, whose views coincide with those of Mr. Stein. He thought, however. that it is a trueism that as a race in- creases in brain capacity the number of per- sons in the families decreases. Mr. Burbage presented some theories of his own regarding the working of the law of evo- lution. This law, he thought, as applied to population, is that the birth-rate and the death- ate of every species tend to an equilibrium according to the grades of intelligence. As the scale of development goes up the rates go down, and as the scale goes down both rates go | up. He was of the opinion, upon applying this | law to the state of affairs in this country, that | the next census will show a decrease in the | rate of increase of the colored population. } Mr. Blodgett spoke at length of the s extent of the food-raising belt of the U States, and the part it plays in the race prob- Jem. The question was also discussed by Messrs. Smiley, Moore, Tibb nd Jones. From Rockville. NEWS NOTES IN MONTGOMERY coUNTY—coURT PROCEEDINGS AND REAL ESTATE MATTERS— PERSONAL GOSSIP.

The stock of logs in Maine this year is much less than an average. Logging operations be- gan late on account of the heavy autumn rains and have been curtailed during the winter by frequent thaws, and finally terminated early by reason of an early spring. On the Penobscot river the loss will be partly made up by logs carried over. The cut on the Kennebec will be barely 100,000,000 feet. which is 25,000,000 less than last year and 50,000,000 less than the year before. “The most important factor yet to determined in the stock for use this season is the nature of the coming drive. There is little snow in the woods, and that little is being gradually melted without serving any driving purpose.

The Sixty Time Divisions. MINUTES AND SECONDS DUE TO THE CLEVER HEADS OF THE BABYLONIANS, Max Muller, in Fortnightly Review. Why is our hour divided into sixty minutes, each minute into sixty seconds, ete. Simply and solely because in Babylonia there existed, by the side of the decimal system of notation, another system, the sexagesimal, which counted by sixties. Why that number should have been chosen is clear enough, and it speaks well for the practical sense of those ancient Babylonian merchants, ; There is no number which has so many di- visions as sixty. The Babylonians divided the sun’s daily journey into twenty-four pgrasangs, | or 720 stadia. Each parasang or hour was sub- divided into sixty minutes, A parasang is about a German mile, and Babylonian astrono- | mers compared the progress made by the sun during one hour at the time of the equinox to | the progress made by a good walker during | the same time, both Desir granny one para- | sang. The whole course of the sun during the twenty-four equinoctial hours was fixed at twenty-four parasangs, or 720 stadia, or 360 de- grees. ‘This system was handed on to the Greeks, and Hipparchus, the great Greek phil- osopher, who lived about 150 B. C., introduced | the Babylonian hour into Europe. Ptolemy, who wrote about 150 A. D., and whose name still lives in that of the Ptolomaic | system of astronomy, gave still wider currency | to the Babylonian way of reckoning time. It | was carried along on the quiet stream of tra- ditional knowledge through the Middle Ages, | and, strange to say, it sailed down safely over | the Niagara of the French revolution. For the French, when revolutionizing weights, meas- ures, coins and dates, and subjecting all to the decimal system of reckoning, were induced by some unexplained motive to respect our clocks, and watches, and allowed our dials to remain sexagesimal, that is, Babylonian, each hour consisting of sixty minutes, Here you see | again the wonderful coherence of the world, | and how what we call knowledge is the result | of an unbroken tradition of a teaching descend- | ing from father toson. Not more than about a hundred arms would reach from us to the | builders of the palaces of Babylon, and enable | us to shake hands with the founders of the old- est pyramids and to thank them for what they have done for us. Currants Are Small Grapes. A COMMON ERROR REGARDING ONE OF THE IN- GREDIENTS OF A FRUIT CAKE. From Harper's Bazar. A frequent error among those interested in cookery is to suppose that the imported articles called currants, used in fruit cakes, mince pies, plum puddings, buns, and the like, are a fruit resembling our own black or red currants dried. In reality these dried fruits which we call cur- rants are just as much raisins as anything that is offered under that specific name, being oniy a dried grape, althongh of an exccedingly small variety, each grape no bigger than a common pea, and each bunch but two or three inches long. These little grape bunches are picked and dried in the sun, and are so full of saccharine matter that the exuding sugar crys- tallizes them into a compact form of sufficient hardness to requre considerable strength to open the mass and prepare the fruit for paking, they being then a second time compressed, this time by means of treading with the feet, which process perhaps account for a good deal of the dirt and gravel usually to be found packed with them. The grapes grow all through the islands and adjacent regions of the Grecian Archipelago, and being exported originally from Corinth, they were called at first corinths, which word was gradually corrupted into cur- rants, till the primitive plant and its fruit were forgotten in the remembrance of the little round berry of our own gardens, which might be dried from now till doomsday without de- veloping enough sugar to melt them together as we find the Zante currants melted. —— + eee A Meeting of B. and O.

Arrangements to this end were yesterday perfected, The Deadly Overcoat. A MEDICAL AUTHORITY DOES NOT APPROVE OF OUR THICK ULSTERS. From the Lance. We protest against the indiscriminate use of the thick and heavy overcoat. We would rather see men in fairly robust condition, especially if young, clad warmly next the skin, and wearing either 4 light top coat or ncne at all. There can be no doubt that the habitual use of great coats is indirectly accountable for the chills which they are intended to prev@t. Were the overcoat worn continuously it might attain its object. Its intermittent use, even when ample underclothing is worn, affords no solid guaran- tee of safety, but rather the reverse. The man of sedentary habits has especial need to remember this, He emerges daily from a warm breakfast-room clothed in his ordinary winter garments, with probably woolen underwear, and over all the heavy ulster or top coat. After a short walk he finds that the sense of warmth he began with is more than maintained, He arrives at his office or place of business and off goes his overcoat, though the air of the newly opened room is a3 cold as that without and draughty in addition, During the day perhaps he travels to and from adjacent business houses wearing only his house clothing. The overcoat is laid aside till closing time reminds him of his journey home. The frequent result is that somehow, b tween the hours of his departure and return, he is chilled. No doubt he would run as great a risk if. lightly clad, he were vo face the rigor of awinter day. In’ this case, however, exer- cise and habit might do much to develop the powers of endurance, and there would, at all events, be less danger of sud den cold acting upon a freely perspiring surface. Woolen underclothing represents a state of healthy comfort intermediate between these extremes and more re: A Child that Puzzles the Doctors. Froja the New York Herald. Some of the Brooklyn doctors are puzzling their heads over the curiously malformed child which was born on Wednesday to the wife of A. Huck, a butcher doing business at the Wal- labout market. Dr. Carl F. Gessler found that it had no eyes, the place where these aseful organs are usually found, being marked by narrow slits. Even the sockets for the eye- are lacking. The collar bones are mis- sing, the upper bone of each arm is only one- halt the usual length and at the elbow a liga- ment binds the forearm beck to a permanent flexion. The legs are similarly malformed.

SINGULAR FEATURES OF A SUPPOSED MURDER CASE IN CINCINNATI. A singular phase has developed in a sup- posed murder at Cincinnati, in which two young men, George Duffy and George Dress, confessed that they had been drinking with a stranger and took him to} the canal, and one of them pushed him in, each charging the other with being the mur- derer. It’ was at first thought that Harry Barnes, of Newport, Ky., was the victim, but he was found alive. Subsequently a man was found who said he was the man thrown into the canal and that he nad been rescued. The confessed murderers were then released. But on Sunday the dead body of a man was found in the canal and suspicions were again revived against Duffy and Droess. They declared the man was ‘not their victim.

From the Chicago Tribune. “Thad not intended to tell you, Billiger,” said the young wife of Mr. McSwat, “but I can't keep it a secret any longer.” “Is it possible, Lobelia,” exclaimed Billiger, incredulously, “that you have been able keep a secret at all?” y wate is, And you would never guess it, either.” “Been making me a dress-gown or an em- broidered night-cap?” Jubilee coming to spend ou haven't been running up a bill at Spoteash & Co.'s?” he inquired, with a sus- picious look anda cold feeling in the region of is spine. “Guess again,” “Been taking lessons at a cooking school?” he asked, paling visibly, “No. Guess again.” A clammy perspiration broke out all over him and he ieaned against the mantel for sup- port as he gasped: “Lobelia, is Aunt the summer with us?” ‘The young wife laughed gleefully, ‘ she answered. “You'll have to try Billiger.” ‘Tell me what it is,” he said, with returning self-command, “I feel as if I could stand any disclosure now.” “I think you're real mean, Billiger, but I will tell you. A little poem of mine is going to be day in the next Century Magazine.” “Whew!” ~ (This is the time-honored way in which a long, low whistle of astonishment has always been represented in print by the most success- ful wrestlers with the language, from the old masters down to H. Rider Haggard. The reader, therefore, will kindly understand that Mr. Billiger MeSwat gave utterance to a long, low whistle.) “Inthe days of our courtship, Lobelia,” he continued, staring hard at the ceiling, “you never told me you wrote poetry. I didn’t know you were addicted to it. or— “Or what?” she demanded, with some as- perity. othing—nothirg!” he exclaimed, hastily. “And so you are to have a contribution in the next Century!

That is, not always,” replied the young husband, mastering his emotion by a desperate effort. “It probably wasn't neces- sary in the case of your poem, Lobelia, And you have saved at least two cents!” Mrs. MeSwat was not exactly sure whether he was in earnest or not. She looked at him with some suspicion. b that look of uneart e that m ace of a boy at school, just after he had rolled a double handful of bird shot over the floor, “Lobelia,” he said after a pause, “you haven't base of this—this poem of yours that is—er— ah—going to be printed next month, to any- body else’ besides me, have you?” 0, “Then don’t do it, Lobelia.” he said. “If you can manage to hold in till the poem is prinied, which”—and Billiger held his fandker ghief to his face and coughed convnlsively in it for a few moments—‘“which will be only two weeks longer, you know it will be all the greater sur- prise to everybody.

AN OLD MISER BREATHES HIS LAST WHILE DIS- CLOSING THE HIDING PLACE OF HIS MONEY. Samuel Humbert, who was one of the victims of the desperate gang who raised the recent reign of terror, died at McClellandtown, Pa., last night. He was eighty years old, has been a miser, and is supposed to have had a large sum of money saved and stored away some- where, being distrustful of banks. This fact led to his capture in his house near Fairchance, one night last summer, by the robber 4 who burned his feet with candles and held him over a fire, — every device conceivable to force him to disclose where his wealth was hidden, but in vain. The old man never fully recovered from the shock thus received, and heart disease was the cause of his death, Rather than touch his hoard he allowed his house at Fairchance to be sold by the sheriff a month ago. He knew death was staring him in the face for the past week, and several times was on the point of disclosing its hiding place, once going so far as to say it was put away in a box, but became choked up and could not speak further. When he was ing in the throes of death last night he tried to tell his attendant, but had only gasp€d, “Bob, the box is—" when he was seized with @ choking fit and died.

From the Boston Herald, The number of children who wear spectacles has become a serious subject of remark. That a radical wrong exists somewhere, when child- ren only four years of age are thus hampered for life, is only too palpable, but whose the | blame, and what the remedy for this evidently increasing affliction? Are future generations to be sans eyes as well as sans teeth? The de- fects in vision necessitating spectacles are in- herited, or infants scarcely able to read would | not be hurried to opticians and fitted to glasses that must bother them while they live. Oculists give many sensible reasons for this weakness of the optic nerves, But no one impresses the necessity of care in the management of eyes until the damage is done, and then it is too late. Young mothers who cover the baby’s face | with a veil, or who wear spotted lace against their own eyes, and who allow their children to read bj ient light, are laying up trouble for themselves, though oculist and optician will be better off for their criminal ignorance. As to the schoolrooms, where children spend so many hours of the day, do parents ever ask or know how they are lighted, and whether the scholars face windows, and whether they are obliged to strain their eyes by blackbord exer- ercises in half lights.
