Nature Provides Negroes a Pig- ment as Prote.tioii. Surgeon-Major Charles WooilrulT, of tl'.e United States army, has solved the interi'Siing pii/.y.le, "Why Is the Negro lilack?" The answer, rout;hl\ summarized is that his blackness is his defence against the dangers of ihe sim. The entire (jUestion i.s treated by Major Woodruif in an e.\nai:;-,livu treatico under the title of '"Ihe [fleets of Tropical Ligl.t on V.bite Men." Sun ra,\s are divided into two classesâ€" long and short. The latter are dangeions lo all persons who are not defended from them; the former make for he.il. To avoid both these dangers the pu;e ne.gro has evolvoil a black s' in and nocturnal habits. The defeusive skin is an armor of l.igment just umler Ihe outer skin. it v:iries in iiilinsit.y of color from t!:e coal bUu'k aeero of the tropics to the white man of northern lati- tudes. The pi..'meut is aKvays lho:e â€" just sumcient in strength to resist Ihe danger in dilTerent climes. This aecounts for the varying colors of I iiTerenl rai esâ€" Ijlai-k, red, yellow, co|)per, and v.hi'e. It is only ab- sent in .Alldnosâ€" a sign of degenera- tion, explains Alajor WoodrnlT. .Vn extreme illustration of the dan- ger of rays is provided l).\ radium. It is stated that a single pound of rad- imn in a room would kill everyine pre- sent by Ihe blasting force of its rays. The negro's noetnrnal habits are ren- dered neces.sary by the conversion of dangerous sun ra.\s into harmless but uncomfortable heat rays. This is how Major WoourafT stales tlie (acts of the case in (his respect: "The negro is really a nocturnal animal, like (he other black animals of the tropics. Left to himself, ho behaves like a Catâ€" inclined to sleep all day. hi'''iiig aWay souu-v. here, and becomes livel\ , energetic, and active at night. Ir. (he Southern States the plantation negroes I'aii be heard all night long, prowling, r.houting. sing- ing, courting, and chicken stealing. Their dances, <amp meetings, and lousehold habits are based on this noctural instinct to hide (rom the light even if they are better protect- ed than we." Th.e negro's natural armor is only ollicacions against natural heat. When exposed to aitil'cial heat in a dark atmosphere, the black skin ceases to throw oft heat, and the negro suffers. In a stoke hole, for instance, he is usuallj- the first man to collapse, even when white men are unalTected. WHICH WILL YOU TAKE Artificially colored and adulterateo teas of China and Japan or AKUANCJING FURNITURE. To most housewives one of the de- lights of spring-cleaning is the oi>- portunity it allords for giving the rooms a diiierent aPl earance by the re-iU'ran;ieiuent of the furniture.
