A CURIOUS RACE.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Hairy Man of Japan.
At the last meeting ol the Lon-
' 1 f A n f 1 n rrtn 1 Fnct if lliP
Miss Isabella IJird (Mrs. I'ishop),
the well-known traveler, read an
interesting paper on the Ainos of
Japan, that singular race of
"hairy men" who are chiefly
founded in the Island of Yesso.
Miss Bird spent some time in the
village of Ainos, near Volcano
bay, studying their manners and
customs, and she illustrated her
lecture with specimens of their
dresses, utensiis and. weapons as
well as with lantern illustrations,
some drawn by herself and oth
ers taken from Japanese artists,
who, however, have caricatured
the types of the people to a cer
tain extent.
Miss Bird cannot decide wheth

themselves say that tluy con

lier race of ca ve-d wellers. Th rc
is no doubt, however, that they
were conqu -red bv the Japanese.
The men range from 5 feet 4 inch
es to 5 feet 0 inches in height, are
strongly built and muscular, and
in some instances, espeeially
among the mountain Ainos. are
thickby covered all over, except
the feet, hands and one or two
other parts of the body, with
short, black hair. Even the
children show a thick brown fell.

The list of ingredients reminded

COTTON MILLS NORTH & SOUTH
The bill pending-in the Massa
chusetts Legislature to reduce
the working hours of women and
children in the factories to fifty
four hours per week has brought
out some interesting testimony.
The cotton manufacturers of
the State oppose the bill, and
declare that they are straining
every nerve to compete with the
Southern Mills. To reduce the
the hours of labor would make
competition with the South im
possible. One of the manufac
turers testified belore the legisla
tive committee that the nature
of the work and the n-cessities
of the times demanded the very
cheapest class o! labor.
J. Howard Nichols, ol the
D wight Manufacturing company
at Chicopee said that competi
tion partly from Southern Mills,
"is so intense that a small frac-
tion of a cent on the vard is the
j y.
rence between success ami
failure," ol a Massachusetts mill,
and he adds: "Ir myself I con
fess the outlook is not cheering,
and I would rot invest nor ad
vise a f. iend to put one dollar in
to any new cotton factory, in
Massachusetts. Our men
of greatest
wealtfi are not put-
ting their monev
into mills in i
Massachusetts. Thev can find
more profitable employment else
where for their capital, and they
see the danger which threatens
them here."
X. R. Borden of Fail River
testified :
The Southern States have to
dav almost, if not quite, as many j countries. In Brazil it will con
cotton swindles as the cities of : nect with the cable lines between
! Lowell and Lawrence combined,
and the building ol lactones in
factories in
! thosc States is increasing ;dl the
! time. And when it is considered
! that the hours of labor in the!

weekly in georgia to sixty-
! nine nntl seventv-two
i
than in M a ssa ch use 1 1 s : that the
facilities for transi tortation of
finished goods are very much
more advantageous there than
here; that there iscomparatirely regions that furnish products
no cost for the transportation ol ; needed in Europe and that offer
raw cotton to the mills, and that j profitable markets lor European
even now the finished product of I goods. The new Africa u-Brazi!-tnese

Killnf r rini-fe Htl. with Brazil and other South
mills at Lowell, said:
I simply want to give vou a
few cold facts in regard to South
ern competition. It seems to me
that ihe whole danger to our
Massachusetts industries is from
the South; that has been brought
to my attention especially in the
last lew years, by the fact
that
boutnern mills are takin
my
work away from me. I am los-
ing mv contracts a great
deal in
that way. It is also tne same
in regard to the trade in China,
because the Southern States get
ahead of me. I have looked into
the subiect carefully, comparing!
goods, prices, etc., where and j
how I was beaten. There .are!
several good mills down there. !
The Pacalot is a good mill ; so is j
the Clifton and the Piedmont. I
looked at their goods and found
they were just as good as mine.
They beat me actually in speed.
In the cost per pound of thirteen
to twenty-two yarn I found they
beat me out of my boots; we are!
not in with them. My cotton
was costing me 10.2 cents per
pound and theirs 9.15 cents. The
difference iu the price of cotton
was pretty near the profit. They
arejust as good weavers, just as
good spinners so thosc who
have been there tell me. This is
the sort of competition we a
meeting with.
Other witnesses followed in the
same line, and admitted that
their business was is in danger
of being transferred although to
the South in order to be in sight
of the cotton field. So great is
the competition that the North
ern mills are forctd to increase
speed, reduce wages and intro
duce new mechanical appliances,
and even with these changes di
vidends are decreasing. The
Massachusetts manufacturers
unanimously said to the com
mittee "It will be impossible for
us to continue any longcrincom
pctitiou with the Southern mills;
and this industry upon which so
much of the prosperity of Xew
England rests will leave it. if a
law is passed reducing the hours
of labor."
With these facts before us. the
tiling to do is to go ahead with
our cotton mills, and build new
ones. Our Xew England com
petitors are already on the run,
begging the law to interfere in
their behalf. We musl press the
advantage already gained, and
control the manufactures as well
as th production of our great
staple. This is the surest way
to build up the industrial in
terests of the South, and we
shall be short-sighted indeed if
we do not profit by these ad
missions of our competitors and
turn their loss into our gain.

To Find the Magnetic Pole.
At a meeting ol the
Geographical society.
American
held in
Xew York on May 2,
the pro-
; pOSC(l expedition to find the
Xoi th magnetic pole,
whicn is
about 1.200 miles further south
j than the geographical pole, was
discussed. Gen. A. . Greeley
and Col. W. II. Gilder told how
safely and comfortably the pro-
' posed exposi.ion could be made
It is calculated that the magnet
ic pole is somewhere in the neigh
borhood of King William Land,
possibly on water instead of
land. English and other Euro
pean explorers have been in that
neighborhood. One of them got
within a few miles of the exact
point several years ago, anil the
magnetic needle pointed almost
vertically. Its j?ngle with the
horizontal was SO degrees 59
minutes. It is believed that the
magnetic pole, which moves
around a little, has a regular pe
riod that can be determined. It
will be of advantage to naviga
tors and surveyors to be able to
allow for the variation at any
time. Col. Gilder, w ho accom
panied Lieut. Schwatka on his
expedition, has offered to take
charge of the proposed trip to
find the magnetic pole, and make
a general survey of the surround
ings. It is .belicvedj that there
will be no difficulty in raising the
necessary $25,000. It was sug
gested that the United States
coast and geodetic survey will
put the necessary instrnments at
the disposal of the expedition.

Scheme for a Ngro State.
Of all the schemes proposed in
the past thirty years for the so
lution of the negio question that
of making Oklahoma a negro
State ,'s the most daring. Were
such a plan carried out the polit
ical results might have a most
important bearing upon the gen
eral Government., but lor the
present it is sufficient to examine
the extent of the movement and
thecharacterof its managers. The
chief spirit of this tin lertaking is
Edwin PMcCabe, a colored man
who was defeated several years
ago by the Republicans of Kan
sas for reuomination to be Audi
toi of the State. This political
disappointment, together, with
social embarrassments r.-t Tope
ka. aroused in MeCabe a dcsiie
to establish a negro State. He
injerested in this project some of
tne most intelligent negroes in
Kansas, and began organizing
colonies with an energy tha
brought immediate results.
When Oklahoma was opened 10,
000 negroes crossed, the border
and took claims. McCabe was
at the head of one of the colonies,
and in order to promote the
cause he established a newspa
per to advance the interests of
his race. He boldly advocated
the dispossession of the whites of
political power. McCabe's news
paper was circulated in the old
Southern States as well as in
Oklahoma, and caused a further
exodus to his promise land.
Much shrewdness has charac
terized the efforts of McCabe and
his folic Ters. The ingenious
plan of distributing the negro
settlers so that a majority could
be depended upon in every politi
cal divison was carried out;
wherever a cabin became vacant
McCabe's agents promptly put
in a negro tenant, i he opcnirgl
ol the rac, lox and 1 ottawat
omie resei various lat fall afford
ed still other territory which is
filling up with negroes. There)
are now seven large colonics ol
negroes in Oklahoma, and within
the next sixty days there will be
upwards ol sixty colonics estab
lished, if McCabe's plans do not
miscairy. There are said to be
200,000 negroes in the South or
ganized 'or settlements in Okla
homa. The popa'ation of Oklahoma
at this time is sain to be about
SO, 000, whites and negroes, so
it is evident that domination b
the latter will not be dilficult. If
thev maintain their present rate
of additions they will certainly
have the political control of the
Territory fully in their keeping.
With State dignity there would
go the right to t wo United States
senators, while a full complement
of State and county ollicials
would be selected by the people, j
Ofcoutsc, McCabe is in the
game lor political advantage to
himself; he is not a sociologist ol
high ideas, but a politician with
a keen eye to the main chance.
He annouiv.'ts no principles, and
is bent only on tilling up the new
lands with people whom he can
control. He i:; nearly white, and
certainly has Caucasian energy
and nerve, ft will be interesting!
to watch the further develop
ment of his scheme. The concen
tration of negroes in a single
Territorry where, in the event
that their local self-government
should fail, the General Govern
ment would be called on to in
terfere, presents a problem with
many phases. A negro State
might be highly successful from
all points ol view; on the other
hand, it might be a source of per
petual trouble. Indianapolis

Utilization of Waste Hsat.
A method of utiiizingthc waste
heat from furnace slag' has been
patented by a firm of Australian
miners, by which they claim if
the method is successful in prac
tice they will save about $150,
000 a year in fuel. The idea is
to run the molten slag from the
furnaces into iron chambers ca
pable of withstanding a high
