MANUFACTURERS WORK
ON PORCELAIN TOWER

PARIS, Sept. 9.-The re-erection Of
the famous Porcelain Tower in the park
Of St. Cloud. which was destroyed by
the mob during the Commune, at the
same time as the castle. was decided on
some years ago, and the state porcelain
mandatory at Sevres has been for a
long time engaged on the work.
Unfortunately the funds placed at the
disposal of the Sevres factory by the
state are not large enough to enable
such work TO be carried on without
extra aid. This has not yet been forth
coming, and consequently the work is
at a standstill for want of money.
A similar thing happened In the case
of house in porcelain which the fac
tory started 20 build in the Square Saint
Gegmain-es-Pres. but which could not
be continued for want of cash, and so
nothing stands Of the house but its
facade.
The model of the tower for St. Cloud
Is all ready. Its staircase, with a double
spiral arrangement for ascent and de-
scent, is arranged on the plan of the
famous staircase of Chambord Loire

.LUSITANIA REPORTS
PROGRESS BY WIRELESS

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-First wireless
messages telling of the progress of the
new Cunard steamship Lusitania on her
maiden trip created great interest to-
day, not only among steamship men.

The purpOrt of the news seemed to be
that the Lusitania was steaming along
in fine shape at & good pace in spite of
the difficulties of fog, and faster, per
haps, than at first expected.
The fact that the new turbine liner
picked up the Lucania in apparently
easy fashion in the run from LIVERPOOL
TO Queenstown, led many Britishers TO
