A SUBSTITUTE FOR WOOD.
Planks Made of Cork Win Be Used In the
 New Ships.

Several months ago the board of in- spection and survey of the navy depart ment was directed to make an investiga tion with view of obtaining some prac- tical substitute for wood i'll fitting naval vessels. The desire for a substitute was the fact that lighter material was wanted if possible, one that would not take so much space i'll the vessel, and more than anything else material that would not splinter. It was also desira- ble to have uncomfortable substance.
 The board has made report to the secretary of the navy, and some of its recommendations have been adopted by him, and it Is probable that several of the new ships will be fitted with the new material as substitute for wood.
 One of the best materials which has been found by the board is wood sub stitute composed of waste cork. This is subjected to 400 degrees of heat, and 1t is then pressed into blocks of any re- quired size. It can be sawed into thin strips or handled very much as wood is handled Cork has a gum which great heat melts and glues its particles to- gether in compact mass. After being pressed it sticks together as tightly as if it had grown that way. The cork boards may be made heavy or light, as wanted Some of the lighter kinds are used in the walls of refrigerators. It is 8 nonconductor and can scarcely be made to burn. This material is used ln fha nlaca If yvood in German vessels, Commander Bradford, who made the search and examination of this particu- lar substitute, found that the Germans were using it under patent taken out by John Smith of New York, and that companies in the United States had ob tained rights for it's manufacture here.

Bismarck on Women.

Here is what Prince Bismarck said to a deputation of Silesian ladies on May IS:
 .'I always regret that so little infiu- enee in politics is allowed to the better half of the human race I do not expect ladies to deliver speeches in parliament, but I believe that the results of our elec- tions would be more national and more satisfactory if they were more under fe- male influence than now. Honest Ger man women, wives and mothers, do not appear i'll public as socialists, and 1 therefore believe that female sympathy with our political institutions is much stronger bulwark against social democ- racy than our revolution bill would have been if it had been passed.

THE man that penned the follow ing knew exactly what he was talk ing about: A newspaper is always printed in rush. There is always something in it that should be left out, something left out that should be put in. It is sometimes too quick to act, but with all it's faults and shortcomings there is more ed ucation in bright, newsy paper than there is in a novel, You will find the brightest boy on practical, sensible, everyday questions is the boy who reads the newspapers. - Hot Springs Neaos.

Kaiser Wilhelm as Stage Manager.

Some amusing anecdotes are related
in tho press with respect to tho kaiser
and the new Berlin Opera House. His
majesty may often be seen in the morn
ing, in civil dress, wearing white
cloak and smoking cigarette, crossing
on foot from the palace to the Opera
House. There arrived, he takes his po-
sition on tho stage or follows the re-
hearsals from his box. Many comical
encounters have occurred in the semi
darkness between kaiser and scene
shutters, ignorant of the visitors iden-
tity. The emperor, indeed, leaves the
discovery Of his presence to chance, but
this is often betrayed by an objection
from q coulisse which unexpectedly
breaks in during the progress of re-
hearsal This fortunate gift of observa-
ticn is usually SO we'll employed in
criticism Of the arrangements which
have been made that the general n,an-
ager, stage manager and director of the
ballet arc unable to better achieve sue
cess than by following his suggestions.
The kaiser, it is related. once forgot to
throw away his cigarette on entering
tho Opera House. Tho inspector there
upon respectfully called attention to tho
fact, and bis majesty replied, 1.-THE

der i'll this house naturally hold good

few remarks on the necessity of hav:

ground, explaining that wet earth or
water connecting directly with tho
earth was tho very best. Then he would
make ground connection of this kind
and proceed to fire few big electric
sparks, or lightning flashes, through tho
rod. They would go through all right,
not doing the slightest injury to the
