A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.
Naval Construction Demands a Less
COmbustible Material.

The board of which Commander
Bradford is senior member, convened
by Secretary Herbert to consider the
subject of dispensing with wood in the
construction of the naval ships now
being built. and also for the purpose
of finding some suitable substitute for
wood in places where it is imprac-
ticable to use material, is making fair
progress. Since the naval action
fought off the mouth of the Yalu river
between the Chinese and Japanese
fleets, during which several ships
were disabled and thrown out Of ac-
ton by serious fires on board, the mat
ter has received much attention at
home and abroad. The German adj
miralty has convened a board to find
some proper substitute for wood; in The
meantime the use of wood on their
ships has ceased altogether, ven the
furniture being made of iron, and cork
being used where a nOn-conductOr is
absolutely necessary. The English
have not yet taken any definite ac-
ton, but are casting about for some
substitute for wood. The French
have for a long time used a minimum
of wood, and in all foreign ships less
wood has probably been used than in
those of our service.
The. problem is not an easy one.
While there is no doubt that the aboii-
ton of all cOmbustible material will
add to the fighting efficiency Of ships
of war, it is equally ure that if this
were done they would be uninhabi-
table. Owing to the good conducting
properties of iron and steel the living
quarters. if not sheathed with some
non-conductOr, would become intensely
cold in winter and very hot in summer
Chemists and others are trying to
produce an artificial wood. Manu-
%facturers Of freproof paints and
liquids have given some very success
full exhibitions of their wares. Sur
face protection of wood. however. is
insufficient and of no avail when the
wood becomes ~splintered by a hail
storm Of small prOjectfles.

After Priza Fighters.

Coney Island, June 21.--The ten prin-
cipals who were arrested last Saturday
night at the Seaside Athletic club were
called for examination before Justice
Nostrand in the West Brighton Police
court this morning. Lawyer Stapleton
appeared for the defendants and District
Attorney Callahan was on hand to look
after the interests of the people. The
complaint lodged against the defendants
by the police was that the said defend
ants violated section 45S in carrying on
a ring or prize fight.
After the assistant district attorney
and Mr.. Stapleton had talked the matter
over for fully fifteen minutes it was de-
cided to test the case with Eddy Pierce,
who was knocked out that night by
young" Corbett. Enough testimony
was introduced to hold Pierce, and the
latter was held in $500 bail to await the
action of the grand jury. young" Cor
bett waived examination and was also
held for the grand jury. Both were re-
leased on bail The others were held for
the grand jury with the exception of
James Humphreys, who acted as one~Df
the seconds that night. The judge al
lowed him to go on account of insufficient
testimony.

LONDON BRIDGE SUICIDES.
The Dark Waters of the Thames Daily
Ted With Human Life.

london bridge seems to be the favorite
resort of the miserables who wish to leap
into eternity says a writer in the Boston
Herald. Scores of suicides jump from it
every year, and it is n tradition in Scot
land Yard that it's suicides arc the ones
which always give the greatest trouble to
the police. They seem to generate puzzling
mysteries. One night last winter four
persons-one woman and three men
jumped from London bridge between the
hours of midnight and a. m, and each
one bothered the police. Ordinarily a sui
eide is not much bother. 1t is simply nee
cssary for the patrolmen in the policeboat
to catch tho body with be 1t hook, tow it
ashore and turn it over to the tender mer-
cics of tho coroner But sometimes it is
not so simple.
One Of these suicides, for instance, was
the wrcckage which had been left in the
wake of n young noblcman's dissipation,
and it is always a nuisance in ENGLAND for
a young woman of that sort to kill herself.
1t attracts public attention to her and to
the aristocritt's dissipation. That is GER
tainly enough to bother the police. An
other of that night IS bits of human flotsam
was a man who bad the bad taste to write
a long letter to tho papers showing that
by the laws of England, which would not
permit him to make living, yet insisted
on sending him TO Jail if he did not clotlie
his children well enough to permit them
to appear at school.
The third was well dressed and of
finely bred appearance. His identity was
a great bother. When it was finally found
out that he was II member of family
well known indeed, but secretly affected
with an insane faint, which had taken this
way of making itself felt, there was as
much trouble in Hiding his name as there
had at first been in uncaTthing it. The
fourth victnl-and his death was n real
misfortHne-was a man who had beer
long searched for by the police, and whn
could have given very valuable inforina-
ton in II most Important criminal case.
had he not killed himself just at the WRONG
