AlabaStine.

Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb %: Readers
of the Inter Ocean have often seen Ala
bastine prominently mentioned in these
columns during many years past. The
main counting room on the first floor of
the building was daintily and beautifully
decorated with Alabastine, both walls and
ceiling, seven years ago, and has been
nicely cleaned FIVE times, though badly
smoked each year.
The same room has just been handsome
II redecorated in freehand Alabastine
modelling in the delicate tints and other
Alabastine work, and the effect is very
beautiful, even surprising the original
work of seven years ago.
The original Alabastine (the hot-water
kind supplied nearly all demand for
ready-made wall coatings throughout the
whole of the United States for sixteen
years.
This is the same as the original except
being in form adapted for use in cold wat
er. Alabastine is a cement that forms
permanent coats, admits of recoating from
time to time without removing it's old
coats, and hardens with age.

DEBOE WAS KNITTED.
New Nominee of Republican eau
Gus In Kentucky Fails to Get
Full Support.

Frankfort, Ky, April 24.-The biggest
crowd of the extra session assembled in
the house of Representatives shortly be-
fore noon today, the hour for the joint
session, at which it was expected that
the long and tedious wrangle would be
ended by the election of w. j. Dehoe,
the Republican caucus new nominee to
the United States Senate. All during
the morning there were rumors to the
effect that Senator Linney of Louisville,
who was one of the boilers in the
Hunter race, would not be present and
that Representative Lieberth would also
be missing, both without pairs. This
caused the Republicans some uneasineSs.
To add to this the Gold Democrats held
caucus at noon and decided to assist
the Silver Democrats in an effort to
break a quorum.
When President Worthington took the
chair shortly after noon. there was a
strong smell of fire and there was great
excitement for time, but it was quelled
by the prompt action of the officers Of
the House who appointed a committee to
ascertain 1t there was conflagratiOn in
progress in the state house. No fire
could be found except some paper burn
ing IN 8 corner and the excitement sub
sided
Gov. Bradley appeared on the floor with
Congressman ColsOn ana others of his
uneaslness among the Deboe men, as it
was the first time the governor had been
on the floor since the extra session con-
vened. Just before roll call Repre-
sentative Lieberth appeared, but Senator
Linney declined to answer.
One Sound Money Democrat answered,
but this was offset by Lieberth who was
present and declined to answer to his
name. The roll call showed siXty-eight
present; necessary to quorum seventy.
A call for the absentees was demanded
and the Deboe men crowded about Linney
and Lieberth in an endeavOr to get them
to answer. Linney finally answered, but
Lieberth left the room, leaving only sixty
nine present.
Senator Bronston DEM moved an adj
journment. but President Worthington
overruled him and said that ballot must
be taken. quorum or no quorum. When
Senator LinneyS name was reached he
announced that he was paired with Sena-
tor Martin, who has been urged as the
compromise candidate of the Democrats.
Only siXty-five voted, which left Deboe
four short of an election and call of
the abSenteeS was demanded.
There was q scene of the widest eX-
element when it finally became known
that DebOe had been knitted and the gal
lerieS hOWled and even the members of
the Legislature lost their dignity for a
moment. An adjournment was moved
and carried. but there was the deepest
feeling manifest on all sides. In the COR
ridor Gov. Bradley found Mr.. Lieberth,
whom he implored to vote for the nomi-
nee. Mr.. Lieberth, however, refused to
do so.
After the joint session Senator Linney,
who voted to make a quorum, but who
claimed he was paired with Senator Mar
tin. said that he honestly believed that
DebOe would be elected Monday. He
would not say what he would do.

More Greed than Patriotism.

Much indignation has been caused in
England by the discovery that British
firms have, within the last three months,
shipped an enormous quantity Of war ma
terial, such as small arms, ammunition
and machine guns, to the Transvaal by
way Of Delagoa bay. Inasmuch as the
Beers are avowedly and openly preparing
for a conflict with England, the war ma
terial in question is obviously intended for
use against British troops. The English
government has, in consequence of this, es-
tablished a rigid system of observation in
all ports of the United Kingdom, and
at every fishing town detectives from the
police department at Scotland yard have
been stationed for the purpose of CO.
operating with the local coast guards.

To be Built at the Washington Yard, and
to be About Big Dry Dock.


to be About Big as Dry Dock.
An experimental tank in which NINA
ture warships will be tested is to be
constructed soon at the Washington navy
yard not far from the great shops where
all the navy guns are assembled. The
tank will be the first of it's kind in the
country, and the largest under cover. It's
dimensions closely approach those of the
big dry docks, and the depth will be Suf-
fcient to float any Of the smaller cruisers.
On all sides it will be covered, and the
water will be supplied by the city reser-
voirs or pumped from the Potomac.
From end to end the tank will be just
500 feet long and 80 feet across, and
inside the water space will be 47ox43
feet Its depth will be IA feet. Run
ming across, close to the water, will be a
carriage upon which there will be at
tached a dynamometer to register the re-
sistance due to towing a model through
the basin. Models, varying in size from
ten to twenty feet, of every new ship to
be built will be attached to this ma
chinery and drawn through the water.
The wave motion will be observed and
the resistance it offers will be calculated.
The models will be plain affairs, con-
structed only with a view to presenting
closely the actual lines Of the ship it is
proposed TO build. Through the expert
mentS it is estimated that the plans Of
all proposed vessels can be improved and
valuable information gathered for use in
designing the lines of ships. The cost
of the tank will be 100000.
For years the navy asked for this ap-
preparation but got it only from the last
Congress- The use of such tanks abroad
is common. Constructor Hichborn is the
designer and promoter of the new tank,
which will be ready for service in about
ten months.

Malaria in the Air,

There are four truths respecting the
mosquito which modern science has es-
tablished:
First-A mosquito cannot live in air
free from maiarial poison. Untainted
air has the same effect on him as a
healthy community on d. doctor. 1t de-
prives him of patients, and he must go
to less favored localities to practice his
profession.
Second-The lymph, which flows
through an automatic valve when it in
serts its proboscis contains modified
germ of the malarial fever and accord
ing to the well-settled law of incubation,
the introduction of the weak germ rem
ders harmless a subsequent attack by
the strong germ.
Third-The mosquito never swallows
human blood. 1t cannot. The fact that
it's body becomes discolored and swells.
while probing, is caused by the discolora-
ton of the lymph in contact with the
blood and the muscular effort of insert
ing the probe.
Fourth-A mosquito will never insert
it's lancet in a person not susceptible to
an attack vi malaria. In this respect it's
sense is more accurate than the most
skilled and experienced pathologist. This
also proves, not only it's unerring in
stinct, but that it never wounds unneces-
Sarlly. LIS tnfuStS are those of a skilled
and humane surgeon, and even more I'M
selfish, for hope of fee never quickens
him, nor does the malediction of his pa
tient deter him in the fulfillment of his
duty.
Remember, then. that the presence of
mosquito is an infallibIe sign that ma
laria is in the air, and that you are ex-
posed to it, and when you hear that
well-known but solemn note of warning.
do not treat him as a foe but as a
friend.-Boston Evening Transcript.
