ADVANTAGES of color identity.

Davis Barns w as in tny office one morning
to get the deed to n lot of land which I
had sold to him. When 1 read to him the

of the scrotal part he began making ob
jections to having It put in the deed that

ne was a “colored man,” and didn’t see
why tile deed wasn’t just as good without
•t. I said to him: “It is intended to so
identify you and protect you that if a
white man by the name of David Barnes
came along and made claim to the lot be
cause the name, without the letters “P.
C.’ after it would naturally indicate that
the property belonged to David Harries
and not to David Barnes P. C., you could
show that it did not belong to David
Barnes (presumably white), but (o David
Bames, colored, because the letters P. C.
after his name distinctly declared that
fact. Avery fine looking old white gen
tleman from Philadelphia,, who was sit
ting in my office at the time awaiting an
opportunity for a professional consulta
tion with me, hearing my explanation to
the negro, exclaimed: “That is very sin
gular! My name is David Bames!”
I do not think David Bames, P. C., will
ever forget the object lesson thereby pre
sented for his comprehension, or object
to having P. C. put after his name, par
ticularly in a deed. Respectfully yours,

THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MAINE.
YY'hat May Have Caused an Explo
sion In the Great Ship.
Since the discovery of the Roentgen
X-rays, electrical sqience has advanced
with rapid and fearless strides into the ob
scure and fearful domain of the supersti
tious, the magical, the marvelous and the
miraculous, showing many of their most
profound mysteries clear in (he light of
nineteenth century revelation. In, and
through the primary essence or ether, that
mysterious substance, unseen and impon
derable, which is believed to Inhabit uni
versal space and to permeate all tangible
matter, the thought of man since the be
ginning of time, has wandered
in search of evidential knowledge and
truth. But he has been forever stultified
by false teachings and blinded by supersti
tious fears.
In this age, being no longer priest-rid
den, man has cast aside his superstitions.
Therefore he obtains and profits by prac
tical knowledge.
As it is now- believed that the destruc-'
tion of the United States battleship Maine
was accomplished premeditatively by emis
saries in the employ of Spain, and as it is
believed that the destruction was caused
by some explosive propelled against,
drifted against, or attached to the hull of
the vessel, it seems relevant to state that
the wreck may have been caused, inten
tionally, by an outward cause, acting in
ternally. This cause may have been the
power of electrical induction creating
waves in the ether and thereby igniting
the explosives in the ship’s magazine.
Electric induction is now an accomplished
fact. Edison telegraphed a rapidly flying
train.
Hertz, the great German investigator of
the power and penetrative force of induc
tive electric waves, claimed that they pen
trated wood and brick, fiut not metal.
Hertz, however, exploded gunpowder by
use of these waves.
Dr. Jagadis Chunder Bose, a Hindoo pro
fessor of physics in the Presidency College
in Calcutta, and who graduated at Cam
bridge College wife the degree of master of
arts, has by means of peculiar apparatus,
coneeted w'ith a two volt storage battery,
caused an Induced electric wave to pass
over a distance’ of seventy-five feel,
through three walls of brick and mortar
each eighteen inches thick, and over this
distance and through these obstacles
without any connecting medium except
etherial waves to ring a bell and fire a
pistol. Metal, however, stopped the waves
which he produced.
Dr. Bose has said, “The ether is the
great field of the future, a field whose
products no one can imagine or attempt
to conceive.”
It remained for Guglielmo Marconi, a
young Anglo-Itelian, to produce waves
that will penetrate all substances, iron
and steel Included. He has conveyed
messages, inductively, through a hill of
the thickness of three-quarters of a mile.
He has telegraphed through the air the
distance of a mile and three-quarters. His
waves have passed through seven or eight
walls, a distance of one hundred yards.
He believes that his waves may be used
in electric light houses during a time of
fog. A receiver on vessels would indicate
the presence, distance and direction of
the lighthouse. He claims that these waves
may be used as a constant source of com
munication between the shore and light
ships, at any distance within twenty
miles. He also believes that they will be
used to prevent collision between ships in
a fog. Two ships being so fitted, alarms
would ring on them at any set distance
from each other, and the direction of either
could be indicated by an index. Marconi
has.claimed that by use of a station about
twenty feet square it would be possible to
transmit and receive messages between
London, England, and New York, U. 8. A.
He claims his apparatus to be practical
for use in Ynilitnry operations in the field
in time of war. He says: "There Is no
reason why the commander of an army
should not be able to easily communicate
telegraphically with his subordinate offi
cers without wires over any distance up
to twenty miles.” He said that the dan
ger of the use of these waves as signals
between ships would be in causing by in
duction between plates, nails or other
pieces of iron a spark which would ex
plode the powder or dynamite in the ship’s
magazine. He claimed further that the
danger of the utility of electric light
houses would be to cause explosions ,n
ships as far as the light in the lighthouse
could be Kten.
H. J. W. Dam, who Interviewed Marco
ni, and from whose article In McClure’s
Magazine for March, 1897, in part, I draw
these facts, says in conclusion: “It is so
much a possibility that electric rays can
explode the magazine of an ironclad, that
the fact h3s already been recognized by
the English royal engineers.
How powerless In Ihe future will be the
most formidable ironclad, when it is
known that an old time wooden steam or
sail ship, a schooner, an oyster smack,
with no armor, and no armament, except
its powerful electric engines of death, may
creep qumbrously within easy range of a
magnificent and seemingly impregnable
floating fortress that would almost disdain
