THE PEERLEss c0RINNE.

The Kimban Opera Company with the peerless Corinne. composed of sixty goodlooking and interesting people, singing, dancing and merry making, in the operatic extraya- ganza, "Hendrick Hudson. IT,, will give give two performances Tn this city next Monday-a matinee in the after noon and the regular performance at night.
 Newness, brightness, up-to-date- ness are the characteristics that @Ili impress themselves upon every body wiho goes to see this really notable production, the most gorge ous, elaborate and expensive in the history of the organization which Mrs. Jennie kimball, It's manager, has directed through years of success. The leading chara- cter is also decidedly the best opportunity which Cor rinne has ever had in which to display her charming talents. She has many means of winning pnblie favor, has Corinne, for her natural graces are varied and her accom- plishments are nnmernns. She ss q charming picture, in her young wo- manhood, with q iaunty figure and the sweetest and merriest of smiles, and the several costumes of Hendrich Hudson, ranging from the rakish cap and swaggering higk boots of the danntless explorer, te the lace maHtiila and crimson skirts of n Spanish coquette all enhance Ter winsome beauty. It Is said she never before sung so well as this year. So 1t is with her dancing. which was really the first successful accomplish ment in which she distinguished her self as n child. She dances every thing, figs, hornpipes, Spanish dances, Oriental advertisements, al. with perfect grace and rymth. This season there is an especial verye and andacity In her dancing something CT the spirit of the Far Eastern dancers, but with no possibility of giving offense. Cnrinne hes evident

SIX IRON WOOD PuLp.
A New Industry to Be Started in This
Country.

A New Industry to Be Started in This
Country.
Reference has already been made to
the method of making silk from wood
pulp, the discovery of DIR. Lehner, of
Switzerland. Companies have been re-
Gently formed in England and Mont
real and factories will be erected to
manufacture the silk, says the New
York World.
In the process of manufacturing the
new fabric the principal ingredients
used are spruce wood pulp, cotton or
jute waste, etc, combined with large
quantity of alcohol The use of the
substantial or solid materials men
toned creates a market for what was
hitherto of no use whatever, being
burned in factory furnaces to get it out
of the way.
spruce sawdust now has market
value, for this, as well as the other ma
terials, are digested by chemical proc
esg, in which alcohol plays an impor-
tant part. The material thus digested
is 50 much like the cocoon spun by the
sill1worm that when the two are placed
side by side in q finished state it takes
an expert to determine which is which.
The artificial material at one state is
liquid, and of a density about equal
to the ordinary sirup of comm
When in this state a machine of DR..
Lehner's invention, which may be
called an artificial silkworm, comes into
play. This machine, which is very sim
pie in construction, requiring so little
attention that it can be kept at work
with about as much labor as is devoted
to twenty-four-hour clock, performs
exactly the same mechanical work that
a silllworm does. 1t draws from the
liquid a continuous, unbrolzen thread of
even diameter and unlimited length.
As this thread is spun, another portion
of the machine takes it up and twists it
into any desired thickness of yarn with
perfect regularity.
Thus the fabric can be made of any
desired weight or thickness, so that it
will be seasonable at all times
This artificial silk has been spun in
Bradford, England. and worked up into
a large variety of fabrics. In the dye
ing, weaving and finishing of these no
special treatment has been found neces-
sary. 1t has been dyed in all imagin-
able shades and colors and, owing to
the peculiar qualities of the material,
it takes dye more readily and gives a
more brilliant effect than the natural
article. In texture it is equal to the
best of Chinese and Indian silks, being
soft and silken to the touch 1t is ex-
pected that it will be used largely in
combination with natural silk and |
cotton for producing broeaded effects. |
These latter have been SO expensive |
lately as to be out of reach all but the
fattest purses, The invention will |
greatly reduce the cost.

1t Promises to Take the Place OF the I'm
roraed Cocoa.

ported Cocoa.
Secretary Herbert has ordered that
cornstalk be used to fill the co4ferdams
of the two big battleships Nos. 5 and 6,
the designs OF which are being COM
pleted. Thus, says the Washington
Star, a purely American product will
replace the imported cocoa celulose,
which is largely used in ali of our mod
.ern naval vessels. The order was is
sued as the result of a careful test of
the relative merits of the two kinds of
-cellulose. conducted by special board,
headed by Constructor Linnard. Two
identical iron tanks were filed with
the cellulose, one with cocoa and the
other with cornstall1. Six and eight
inch shells were fired clear through
them, and then the tanks were filed
with water to ascertain to what extent
the cellulose fulfilled its function OF
preventing the leakage of water through
the shot holes into the interior of the
vessel In a few minutes the cocoa was
letting a stream through at the rate of
half gallon minute, while at the
end of an hour and half not a drop
had leaked out of the cornstalk tank.
This settled conclusively the water-re-
sisting merits of the new compound.
Another important test followed, in
tended to compare the inhamma bility OF
the two substances, a matter that has
come to be regarded as of the first order
of importance since the Chinese war
ships were set on fire by the explosion
of Japanese shells. When small shells
were exploded in the cocoa, it smoul-
dered first, and was then famed into
flames by a light breeze. The cornstall
cellulose was slightly charred, but
could not be be ignited, and SO scored
another point.
Next the tanks were filed with
water and left in warm place for
several weeks to determine the chemic
al effect of their contents upon the hull
plates of ship and upon the hygenic
conditions. The cocoa destroyed the
paint, corroded the iron plates, and
finally decomposed itself. The corn
stalk only slightly softened the paint,
did not affect the iron plate more than
pure water, and, save for a slight
mouldcring and the emission OF an am
rnoniacaI smell, was unchanged and still
The board also found that
cornstall1 cellulose cost but seventeen
and one-half cents per pound as against
twenty-five cents for the cocoa, and as
it is lighter and less is required to fill
the cofferdams, it really costs but two
thirds the price of cocoa.

SIGNAL CORPS SUCCESSES.
Recent Heliogr4phi Triumphs by tho
Uniteu States Army.

Recent Photographic Triumphs by tho
United States Army.
The exploit of the signal corps in ex-
changing Photograph messages between
Pixies Peak and Denver, a distance OF
100 mile shows how wonderfully this
system has been developed in our army.
That it is practical appliance in war
fare was shown during Gen. Miles
campaign against Geronimo nine years
ago, when the news of every move
ment of the hostiles and even of signs
of possible movement was flashed by
mirrors from point to point, one such
message travelling 700 miles from sta
ton to station in four hours. This
method of communication, where there
were no telegraph wires, not only
proved most valuable to the troops,
but, it is said, disheartened the hos
tiles when they learned of its uses.

The orooodflo,s Guardian Birds.

Two or three species of birds are
known to accompany the crocodile
whenever he appears above water.
Many a hunter has had his prospects
for shot spoiled by the alarm given
to the reptile by his watchful attend
ants. When they see anyone approach
ing they will fly at the crocodile's nose,
giving loud cries, and the beast never
waits to investigate, but instantly shut
fles into The water at his best speed.

FATALITIES AT SEA.
Large Increase Shown by the Report of
the Inspector General.

Large Increase Shown by the Report of
the Inspector General.
The records of the United States
steamboat inspection service, which
during the last nineteen years has been
under the direction of Gen. Dumont as
inspector general, show that during
the last fiscal year the number of lives
lost on steam vessels was approximate
1y 1858. This, says the Washington
Post, was an increase over the average
of the preceding eighteen years of 1873.
This great increase was caused by the
large loss of life by the laundering of
the steamship Colima recently off the
Pacific coast. This makes the average
for the last nineteen years 247. The
highest previous annual loss was SOS,
IN 1874. The lowest was 1873, in 1886.
Notwithstanding the great increase in
the number of vessels since 1S70-over
100 per cent.-there have been but 759
disasters to steam vessels, with a loss
of but 5.057 lives, the number of pas
sengers carried per annum having in
creased from 122, $50, 100, carried in
1870, to not less than $50, 900, 900, car
ried in 1899.
The average loss of life under the
law of 1852 was one person to every
$50, ISL passengers carried, while under
the act of 1871, which greatly improved
the efficiency of the service, there was
only one life lost in each 2, 7O3, 1888 pas
sengers carried, or reduction in the
number of lives lost Of nearly IL to 1 in
proportion to the number of passengers
,aJ -.
175 officers and clerks, one supervising
inspector general, ten supervising in
spectors, divided among the various
customs collection districts of the
United States. One of the most stril-
ing instances of the benefits derived
from the powers conferred upon in
spectors under the law is the almost
entire absence of intemperance at the /
present time upon the part of licensed
officers.
An alleged defect in the laws, and
one which has caused much criticism,
is in the local inspectors power to in
vestigate the cause of boiler explosions
and casualties to steam vessels, thus
giving the inspectors the right to pass
Judgment upon their own acts The
present head of the inspection service,
Gen. Dumont, shares in the opinion of
the opponents of such power. and has,
however, endeavored to
have the laws amended to correct the |
evil. As long ago as 1889 he called at
tention in his annual report to the mat
ter, and suggested a remedy in the
form of bill, which, however, never
became law. The bill provided for a
court of inquiry to be appointed by the
secretary of the treasury to investigate
acts Of local inspectors in granting
licenses, etc, such court to consist of |
three supervising inspectors of other
districts than the one in which the in
spector belongs. 1t is very likely that
this matter viii again be brought be-
fore congress at the next session.
