The constructors of Count Won Wal
dersees asbestos house, which was
said to have been burned at'-the fire
at the imperial palace at Pekin, state
that such was not the case. They
doubted IL on first reports. owing to the
impossibility of asbestos burning,
which fact was known to the ancients,
and is surely needless to demonstrate
at this time of day. They have now
ascertained beyond a doubt that the
house did not burn. but was destroyed
by heavy masonry, forming part OF
the imperial palace, falling upon 1t and
crushing it, The idea of the house was
that 1t should be the best possible pro-
lection against climatic influence, and
the we'll known insulating qualities of
asbestos, both against heat and cold,
pointed to the experimental use OF that
material for the purpose. Protection
against fire was not by any means the
main object. The field marshal express
cd himself in private letter as fol-
lows. THE asbestos house has proved
a splendid success, and is particularly
adapted 10 this country II especially
affords protection against the dust
which circulates in a most unpleasant
way through the ordinary Chinese
houses"

side Of the water as possible defenders,
the Vigilant. the Colonia, the Pilgrim,
and the Jubilee. The choice of the
Vigilant, designed by the Herreshoffs,
marked the advent of that nautical
firm into the field. For the first time
this year the contest was made the
best three races out of five. and the
outside courses were selected, fifteen
miles to windward or leeward. and re-
turn, from Sandy Hook Lightship,
and triangular, ten miles to each leg.
1t was three straight for the Vigil
liant. the first being won by five min
, utes forty-eight seconds, corrected
time; the second by ten minutes thir-
ty-five seconds, and the third by forty
| seconds. -.
Lord Dunraven had another try for
the cup in 1897 His yacht was the
Valkyrie III, designed by William Wat
son, and the Defender, designed by the
Herreshoffs, was built to meet her.
Again it was three straight. The first
race was won by the Defender by
eight minutes forty-nine seconds, cor
rected time; the second was awarded
to the Defender on claim of foul and
the third was abandoned by the Val
kyrie on the ground that the course
was not clear. AS an aftermath of the
contest this year, Lord Dunraven made
charges of dishonesty and unsports-
manlike conduct against the managers
of the Defender. These charges were
judicially investigated by COMMITTEE
of the New York Yacht Club and dis
proved and the club then voted to ex-
pei Lord Dunraven, who was one of its
honorary members.
A year later, in 1898, Sir Thomas Lip
ton decided to try for the cup. and the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club sent over a
challenge for him. The Shamrock
was built for him from designs of Will
liam Fife, Jr., and came to this coun-
try in 1899. On the part of the New
York Yacht. Club the Columbia was
built as a defender by the Herreshoffs
for a syndicate The series of races
of this year was in some respects the
least satisfactory in the history of the
cup contests. The first race was set
for Oct. 3, but there was not enough
wind to enable the boats to finish. On
Oct. 5, z, 10, II, 13 and IA it was the
same story of fog or no wind and no
race. On Oct. Is the Columbia won
by ten minutes eight seconds, corrected
time. The Columbia won on Oct. II
without a contest, the topmast of the
! Shamrock carrying away soon after
the start. There was no wind Oct. 49,
but on the following day the Column
bia won out in a magnificent race by
six minutes thirty-four seconds.
The second challenge from the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club, in behalf of Sir
Thomas Upton, came in October 1900.
The Shamrock il was built for the
challenger from designs by George L.
Watson, and after being thoroughly
tried in home waters, came across the
Atlantic in July last, arriving here

A syndicate commissioned the Her
reshoffs to build a new defender, the

A WONDER or POTsDAM.
The hnfser's "MusseI Shell Saloon"
One of the Features of the New
Palace.

The kaiser's "MusseI Shell SnIoonv
One of the Features of the New
Palace.
From the London Daily Mail.
1t is little wonder that the youthful
Prince Chun was impressed by his sur
roundings when the Kaiser received
him in the Mussel Shell saloon of the
new palace at Potsdam.
The apartment in which the audi
ence took place is one Of the finest and
at the same time one of the most Gu
rious in Europe. Entirely inlaid with
polished shells and precious stones, the
whole vast saloon shimmers like crys-
tai. while myriads of speeks of varied
colored lights dart out from wall and
ceiling. To one unaccustomed to and
interpreting such display, the effect
must have been almost bewidering.
The whole interior of the new palace
is embellished in equally magnificent
style. 1t is new in name only, the
building having been commenced so
long ago as 17GS and finished six years
later. The total cost was G $50, 900. The
frontage extends for a distance Of 100
feet, and the apartments number about
200.
Here the Emperor and Empress come
for the quiet home life generally de,
MED them at their palace in Berlin, for
His Majesty has said that he is never
so happy as when dining alone with
his wife" The imperial couple may
frequently be seen in the lanes about
the new palace taking an invigorating
ride before o'clock in the morning
The Emperor and his family occupy
the north wing of the palace. The most
notable apartments, in addition to the
one already referred to. are the Jasper
Gallery. the dining hall and the state
drawing rooms.
Besides being decorated and furnish
ed in superb fashion, the rooms are
full of priceless art treasures, collected
for the most part by Frederick the
Great. The paintings include examples
by Rubens, Titan, Tintoretto, and
other masters. The Orangery,, which
Is also mentioned in connection with
Prince Chun's visit, Is a fine building
fronted by a number of remarkably
lifelike statues. Malachite as we'll az
other costly material appears in the
exquisite ornamentation of the rooms.
Another beautiful object which Prince
Chun no doubt observed is the great
FOUNTAIN IN the park, winch lllnBS vast
volumes of water to a hight of over
100 feet.
Altogether, it would be interesting to
read a translation of the Princes i'm
pressions of Potsdam.
The Schloss at Berlin is no less or
nate than the new palace: but in the
former the scheme of decoration fol-
lows more conventional lines. The nm
est of the apartments are undoubtedly
the Throne Room and the White
Room. A striking feature of the Throne
Room is a handsome crystal chandelier,
which once stood in the Reichstag
Rooms at Worms. Luther was wont
to stand beneath it at the Diet. In
this room also may be seen silver
column, eight feet in hight, presented
to the Emperor William l by the OFF,
GERS of the German Grmy and navy.
Both of these saloons have fine rocco
embellishments.

PrRLLc ROAD ORDER.

At their last meeting the Board Of
Supervisors passed the following i'm
portaut road order:
ut is ordered by the Board that
each member, in their respective dis
tricts. shall at once have any and all
holes in the roads filed, where the
roads are worked by contract in their
districts, at the expense of the con
tractor of the road so worked, and to
be paid out of the road fund
This order is a very proper one and
it is hoped it will be promptly carried
out. With the open spring weather,
there is no good reason why the con
tractors should not all very soon have
their roads up to the required specfi-
cations.
The working of the public roads by
contract in Lincoln county has proved
great success, relatively speaking.
The system has commended itself and
met with much popular favor, fully
indicating the wisdom and judgment
of the former Board of Supervisors
which iuaugurated it. and the present
Board should certainly not allow it to
be discounted or fall into disrepute
simply because some contractors may
not do their duty Where the con
tractors fail to carry out their obliga
tions, they should be held to account
on their bonds or by the method the
Board has just adopted.

Big Feat i'll Dressing Lumber.

The Hattiesburg Progress thus tells
of some big timbers planed, photo
graphed and shipped by the Rich
Lumber Company:
Yesterday there was scene at the
Rich Lumber Company's planning
mills that was never witnessed in this
section before and perhaps was never
expected to be seen by the present
generation. 1t was the planning, all
four sides at one time, of five pieces
of long leaf pine timber, which meas
ured IS feet in length and Is inches
square. In each piece there is 1,S40
feet of lumber.
The timber was gotten out near
Lumberton and shipped to Hatties
burg on two fiat cars. On the same
cars it will be shipped by way of the
Gulf and Ship Island Railroad to
Vicksburg, where it will be used in
some government work.
Late in the evening \. S. Pitts, our
photographers, TOOK some SpIeudlu
pictures of the five pieces of timber as
they rested on the platform, where
they were placed as they left the
planer.
This is, perhaps, the largest planer
in this section of the country, and the
fact that it is capable of planning a
piece of timber IS feet long and Is by
Is inches, all four sides at one and the
same time, shows that it is large and
fine piece of machinery
The management of the Rich Lum
Der Company is very proud of the
job, which was a perfect one, and a
blue ribbon as large as one Of the
pieces of timber should be awarded"
