WHAT'S IN A CORN STALK.
N Can Be Turned Into Smokeleas
 Powder, Dynamite, Etc.


 An immense cellulose plant is near. Ing completion in Linden, Ind, and when it is in operation Indian corn pith, for ages considered worthless will be put on the market as protec- tion for battleships of all nations, as smokeless powder, dynamite and other high explosives, as fine art paper, as varnish, kodak films, car-box packing, filler, waterproof cloth, jnoleum, 1mi- tation silk, patent leather finish. face powder, silicate packing, and hun dred more as novel a1d varied forms of which the farmer, who has been throwing stalks away as waste, never dreamed. The outer lining-that part which incloses the pith-will be made into flour as an adultefant, as cattle feed, a chicken fattener anG an egg producer. Part of it will be made up luto candy, some of it into coloring dyes, and still other parts of it will become part of far more novel pro- sesses. It will add thousands of dol lars to the crop receipts of Indiana far IeIS, Will COuSuIuS Ouly IQdC WHICH aas been waste, and will furnish -h. pioyment for skilled workers. The an- aual average corn area of the United 1tates is got far from S0,000,000 acres. Each acre yields on an average about 4,OO0 pounds of corn stalks, or a total of 6O,000,G00 tons. or this weight S5 per cent, or 5000, 900 tons, has value as feed, but not over ten per cent of it Is actually fed.

This Indiana concern has a process which makes it possible for them to pay S3 ton for the stalks, and pro- duce raw material which is worth seventeen cents pound or s340 a ton.

RELIC CF THE WOODEN NAVY

T. Old Frigate Franklin wus Soon Be
 Abandoned as Useless.
 From the Washington Star: The ancient frigate Franklin, a relic Of the old wooden navy, which has been used for many years as receiving ship al the Norfolk navy yard. is soon to be deserted hulk" said naval effect who has recently visited the Virginia naval station. "She was examined not long ago by board of officers and it is be- lleVed they will submit condemnatory report. The policy of the department, s-s is generally understood, is to do away with the -honored but an- tiquated and out-of-date system of re. ceiving ships, substituting for them shore barracks similar in general char. acter to the quarters occupied by en- listed men at army posts. The jackies of the old school are much opposed to this plan. They cling to their old fogy ideas of a seafaring life and believe Q recruit should be placed upon the water from the very first. To break him in On shore and have him live in bar racks, they say, will make the fellow 8 landlubber all of his natural life. While the receiving ships of today are noth- ing more than great floating houses. there is nevertheless an air of the sea about them and this the old dogs among the men love Dismantled and roofed over, the ships haven't mach resemblance to a seagoing craft. An other thing in connection with the re- ceiving ships is that the families e commanding officers are allowed to live aboard. The Franklin is historic old boat, and it has been suggested that one might buy her when she is put up at auction and place the craft on ex hibitior in different ports. This would hardly seem to be p!oftahia under

 Not long ago Bishop Dudley of Ken. lucky went to preach ip little town in the western part of the state, where there are no Episcopal churches, and only one, in fact of any other denomi- nation. The people are unfamiliar with any bat the plainest and most simple church servicA and entirely un- accustomed to the vcstments which the Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of the "only church, a good, ,c> nscientioua, narrow minded man, hearing that the olshop Was coming OF a certain Sun day to preach al the courthouse. told some of the pillars" of his congrega. tion that he hoped they would not de- seft their own church to hear the Episcopal service, On the appointed Sunday what was the pastors surprise to notice half of his flock absent, an2 upon inquiry he learned that the cour, house was thronged with the villag- CTS. The next day he met one of his chief supporters, whose accustomed seat had been vacant at the weekly service. and the pastor questioned him as to his whereabouts on Sunday. The man replied that he had gone to hear Bishop Dudley. What" replied the clergyman. Desert me to hear tna: pompous preate!" You're mistaken h the man." answered the culprit.

Repairs to BE Made bx Tenant.

r. w. Darby. who rents from the District
the old 7th precinct station house at 1862
32d street, Georgetown, recently requested
the Commissioners to make badly needed
repairs to the roof, aggregating an esti-
mated expenditure OF $685.. The matter
was referred to the engineer department.
and Capt. Chester Harding. assistant to
the Engineer Commissioner, has submitted
the following report:
1.-THE house in question has been aban-
doned by the District as a police station
house for some years and has been rented
to Mr.. Darby under a lease signed by the
Commissioners. The repairs, which were
verbally reported to me by the superintend-
ent of repairs to be actually necessary to
maintain the premises in a habitable condi-
ton, apparently cannot be paid for from
the appropriation for repairs to police sta
lions. I suggest that Mr. Darby be in
formed that the repairs to the roof of the
building can be made by him to the extent
of $685.. the receipts therefor being accept
ed by the Commissioners in lieu of an
equivalent amount of rent"
This recommendation has been approved
by the Engineer Commissioner.

CAHILL TYPEWRITER COMPANY.
A Reorganization Perfected at An

REORGANIZATION Perfected at An
nual Meeting Yesterday.
The annual meeting of the stockholders
Of the Cahill Electric Typewriter Com
pany was held at Jersey City yesterday,
and the following board of directors was
unanimously elected: Ellis Spear. Thad-
deus Cahiii, James B. Lambie, Theodore
]. Mayer, Ralph L. Gait, Thomas w. Smith,
John T, Schaar. Edwin L. Cockrell,
Charles H. Schaaff and Nicholas H. Shea
Of Washington and George w. Litterst of
Jersey City.
The election of this new board of d.
rectors is partly the result of a recent
change in the control Of the company,
company and Thaddeus Cahill, represent
ing the Cahill interests. The electrical
typewriter is the invention of DR.. Cahill.
Arthur T. Cahill, have for years devoted
their energies to the development of the
electrical writing machine, and the Ca
hill Electric Typewriter Company and this
new industry the result of their la
bors.
The capitalisttc end of the enterprise
has recently sought to gain control Of the
company AS the Messrs Cahill had for
some time desired to be free from the &C.
tive business management OF the company,
in order to devote their time to other mat
tiers, propositions were soon made looking
to their transferring control of the stock
to the capitalists Of the company
The result of these negotiations was d
contract ratified by the stockholders yes
terday in Jersey City, by which the COM
pany has sold to Mr.. Cahill, representing
the interests of his brothers and sisters, all
its rights in its simplex, duplex and piano
KEYBOARD typewriters, for which he paid
the company $3.50 shares of stock. The
value of this stock runs into many thou
sands of dollars and it is believed to be
one of the largest transactions in the stock
of a local company made for some time.
This places the control of the company,
which will manufacture and place upon the
market electrical universal keyboard ma
chimes ont IN the hands Of combination
of capitalists, and also returns to the treas
ury of the company a large amount Of
stock.
What will be done with the machines OBJ
tanned by the Cahil interest is not yet made
public. They will, however, soon sever
their active connection with the company
to devote their attention to other scientific
work
The new board of directors will meet in
this city on Monday next for the election
of officers and the appointment Of COM
mittees. 1t is understood to be their in
tention to press the business actively and
probably open a factory in Bridgeport,

IMPROVEMENTS AT
UNIVERSITY PARK

Denver, Colo, Dec 29.-Fifteen new
housese will he constructed AT Cniver-
sity Park the coming year for the ac-
commodation of students at the Uni
versity Of Denver. 1t is expected that
they will he ready for occupancy with
in few months. They will be of vari-
ous sizes and in cost will range from
81. 600 to 5000 each, so 1t Is reported.
Steps to this end were taken at
special meeting OF the trustees of the
university yesterday. A committee
was appointed to lay plans for the I'M
provement. 1t is probable that an In
dependent corporation will be organ
lied very shortly for the purpose of
erecting the dwellings. 1t will coop
crate with the university.
There Is large and growing de-
mand for homes at the park" said
Bishop II. w. Warren. who made an
address at the meeting I'VE could
have rented n dozen or more additional
houses this year. The students are now
either coming out in the morning from
the city in cars, or are stopping with
private families. We wish to have as
many OF them here as possible. and see
no other way than TO erect the houses
where families can live and accommO-
date students"
There is no question that the per-
centage of increase would have been
even larger this year had there not
been a dearth OF houses. The construc-
tion Of fifteen new buildings will do
considerable towards giving Univer-
sity Park more Of a town-like appear
ance. The change in the Tramway ser
vice by which the park can be reached
by a quicker route IL said by some OF
