WEAR EXPLOSIVE GOWNS.
Woman Gowned in Imitation SILK
That Has Gun Cotton for
Basis.

Science, which lately furnished a
mechanical substitute for the horse,
has now set about putting the lowly
silkworm out OF business" writes Clar-
ence Hutton, in the Technical World
Magazine.
Almost unknown In the United
States. the manufacture Of artificial
silk has been on commercial basis in
France for several years, the daily pro-
duction being now about seven tons.
In forming chemical compound
corresponding to the viscous fluid out
Of which the silkworm spins his deli
cate thread, the French chemists found.
strangely enough, that the best sub
stitute was a solution OF gun cotton,
which also serves as the basis for the
most powerful and deadly OF modern
explosives. To what e.; ut this gun
cotton silk is relieved OF 5 explosive
qualities before being woNe.i into laces
and dress fabrics, seems to be some
what questionable. Certainly young
woman gowned in gun cotton and
wearing a dainty nitroglycerin wrap
about her white shoulders, would be a
most formidable not to say dangerous
object If the new fabric ever becomes
popular in this country 1t will plainly
be necessary to warn young men not to
approach its wearers with lighted
cigarettes or other eombustibies in
their hands. And sparkling will be-
come most hazardous occupation.

timber to be sawed, oils to be ex.

there is desire for quick transit by

VESSEL DELAYED BY SHARKS
For Twenty Days Sailors Saw Moth
ing but the Monsters All
About Them.

When ship is brought to standstill
for "a hours by school of sharks that
extends in all directions to the horizon
and when the vessel sails for the next
20 days amid nothing but sharks It is
said by old salts that 1t promises to be
good season for fishing, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
This is the story brought to Philadel-
phia by the captain of the American
ship Babcock, from San Francisco, with
cargo of scrap iron. In fact, the cap
tain hints at a tragedy, for, according
to his story, the myriad of sharks left
him in pursuit of another vessel.
The Babcock sailed from San Francis
co November "a. When in latitude 5.25
north, longitude 20 west, on December
10, the crew became worried at the
scores of sharks which began following
the vessel. During the night the crew
heard an awful splashing abCrt the ship
and with the morning light came the
revelation that the ocean az far as the
eye could see was covered with sharks.
The breeze fell off and what remained
was not sufficient TO send the vessel
through the mass Of FISH. A strong wind
came after the vessel had been stranded
amid the sharks for "a hours and slow
Roadway was possible. The captain
denies that the sharks tried TO reach the
deck by climbing upon the backs OF one
another.
For 20 days the sailors could 9TH

Victory of Push and Publicity.

Push has made American men what
they are to-day. II Is the great Amer
lean spirit condensed into a monosyl-
liable. Hand in hand with push goes
publicity as q motive power toward
success. The two are So lose that it
is difficult tn know them apart The
man Of push is a char zion of pub
licity, II he has good thing he
wishes the public to know about It..
II he has goods. TO sell there must
be push and publicity II he would con.
vert those goods into income. What
is the dse Of having the goods TO sell
II no one knows of them? How are
the buyers to be found? Push and
publicity will provide the articles to
be sold and the persons to buy them.
Push and publicity are the antidotes
OF stagnation and tarvation.-Louis-

able to an Understanding of
Mankind.

The better a man plays his part,
The bette, he succeeds. The more a
man knows OF the art of acting, the
greater the man, for, from the king
IN his throne to the beggar in the
street, evey man is acting. There is
40 greater comedian or tragedian in
he world than great king, writes
Richard Mansfield, in Atlantic. The
knowledge OF the art OF acting Is
indispensable to knowledge Of man.

which every man assumes, you

Napoleon and Alexander were both

greatest actor the world has ever

Room for One More.

A visiting bishop in Washington
was arguing with a gentleman friend
of his on the desirability of attending
church, says an exchange. At last
ne put the question squarely:
what is your personal reason for
not attending?"
The gentlemen smiled in nom
offense-intended way, as he replied:
The fact is one finds SO many
hypocrites there"
Returning the smile. the bishop
said:
Don't let that keep you away;
there is always room for one more"

BIRMINGHAM MAN
 MAY HAVE DROWNED
IT IS FEARED THAT WILLIAM J. MARSHALL, A CONTRACTOR, IS THE MAN WHO JUMPED FROM "A BRIDGE AT LITTLE ROCK.

It is feared that when the body of the man who committed suicide on June 8 by jumping from a bridge at Little Rock into the Arkansas river Is identified it will prove to be that of William J. Mar shall, a contractor. whose office is on Twentieth street between Fourth and Fifth avenues.
 When last heard from just before the suicide, MT. Marshall was in Little Rock He left his home at East Lake June |. 1t is said in a letter to his wife he intmated that he would not return for some time, and a package under date of June 8 also from Little Rock, containing his watch, pistol, picket knife and $50 in money was received a day later.
 Coupled with these facts it is said by his brother, Tom Marshall, that he had been drinking rather heavily of late and this condition with him always led to Respondent frame of mind. Deputy Sheriff Courson has communicated with the authorities at Little Rock and he ex- pected to receive information from them today as to the identity of the body
 Besides a wife there are four children in the family of Mir Marshall.

Willard Favors Locks.

Washington, June 13.-Senator Willard, chairman of the Senate committee on in- ter-oceanic canals, today addressed the Senate in opposition to the sea-level type for the Panama canal. He based his ob- jections largely upon the engineering diff faculties standing in the way of a sea- level canal, but also found fault because of the increased cost.
 My conception of the subject he said, lis that the American people desire a navigable waterway across the isthmus at the lowest possible cost, and that they will defeat any plan which contemplates the building of a canal that would cost untold millions. I believe that the S5-foot level type as proposed in the plans sub mitted would better serve the needs of the nation at present, and in the future. than would any sea-level type that could be constructed within the limits of time and money that can be contemplated.
 'I do not think the country would be warranted in spending such enormous sums for a sea-level canal when many of the best engineers of the world have given it as the result of their deliberate judg- ment that a lock canal on the isthmus of Panama would be of greater practical utility and can be constructed in much less time, and for many millions less money."

ALASKA'S DELEGATE.
Will Represent Only About 26,ooo
 "Whte Inhabitants"

From the Boston Transcript.
 The conference committee of the two houses of Congress have agreed on the bill giving Alaska a delegate, the differ ence having arisen over the machinery of election. If the report IS accepted, two elections will take place Tn August. one of a delegate for the upexpired part of the Ffty-ninth Congress, and the other for the full term of the Sixtieth, climatic conditions governing the choice of the election date. Alaska, although in our possession for almost forty years, is not yet in the full political sense a terri tory" It has been ruled directly from Washington through the governor, ap- pointed by the President It has never had a legislative assembly of any kind, and it is not proposed to create one now. As a matter of neighborly comity the representatives of the state of Washing ton have usually acted for Alaska. It's people coming to the capital have or dinarily resorted to the Washington sen ators and representatives for advice and assistance.
 This condition of Alaska has been due to its remarkably slow growth in white population. Gold will usually draw white men anywhere. It Is the great attraction of Alaska, but the white population is still much below the figures that might be expected. The governor In his last re- port put "the total permanent white popu- lation' at approximately 26,000 persons averaging about one individual for every nine sqpare miles. He expressed the opinion that 1t had not increased to any appreciable extent during the year re- viewed.
 Alaska Is still a great lone land, but with considerable railroad building in pro- gress, it may be on the eve of a great
