New York Without kindlino.

New York, March S.-New York city
is suffering from kindling-wood fam
inc. Grooers all over the city say that
they have not seen the woodman for
more than three weeks. The kindling
wood is cut from Pennsylvania hem
lock and Virginia pine. Dealers in the
product say that the severe winter in
Pennsylvania and the scaycity of
freight cars are among the causes for.
the shortage. Another reason is that
Virginia woodmen are getting better
prices for pine in the form of lumber
for building purposes and are ignoring
the fleetwood trade.

 Among the many stories of ghostly visitations at Hampton Court palace the best known is one which relates to the Haunted Gallery, situated at the top of the Queens staircase, which for many years has been closed to the public It is supposed to be haunted by Catherine HoWarl, the fifth wife of Henry VIII The story is that Henry VII and Catherine came to Hampton Court on October "A, 1541, and that next day while the king was at his devo- tions in the chapel, Archbishop Gran mer handed the king a letter in which were set forth the charges of the coun- cil against the queens character. After investigation the queen was confined to her rooms, which adjoined the gallery, and placed under a guard, but she escaped and fled along the gall lery toward the chapel, where the king was She was seized by the guards. and, screaming and struggling, was taken back to her rooms, and thence to Syon House and the block on Tower Hill. Since then it is said, female figure, robed in white, has from time to time been running along the gallery towar5 the chapel, and then rushing back with shrieks and disordered gar- ments, and passing through the door at the end of the gallery.
 Another apparition said to have been frequently seen at Hampton Court pal ace is that of Jane Seymour the third queen of Henry WILL, and mother of Edward VI. She died in the palace, and lay in state in the presence cham Der, which is close to the haunted gal lery, and it is asserted that her spectre, taper in hand, has been seen wander ing about in the neighborhood of the silver stick gallery.
 Another appari,ion of the palace is that of Mistress Sybill Penn, Prince Edwards foster mother, who died at Hampton Court and was buried at Hampton. Her tomb at Hampton, however, was disturbed and it is said that ever since the figure of woman has been seen sitting at a spinning wheel and heard shrieking at intervals in the southwest wing of the palace. A search was made, with the result that an ancient and unknown chamber was discovered, in which an antique spinning wheel and few other arti- cles were found. The last time Mrs. Penn's apparition was reported to be seen was ia 1SS17 when a sentry fled affrighted to the guarl room,
 It is also said that while a well known artist was engaged in painting one of the tapestries in the great hall he distinctly saw ghostly hand pro- trude from the arras, wnereupon he fled from the hall and could never be persuaded to return to it.

the rubber into sheets of the proper thickness to be used in building up the tire. Whole rows of great hydraulic presses, heated by steam, are used for vuloanizfng the tires after they have been placed in the moulds, The num- ber of the latter which must be kept on hand depends only on the demand for tires of each size and type.
 Before being placed in the mould the tire Is built up by hand on an iron form. The layers of fabric coated with rubber are laid on first of all, being drawn tight over the tread and worked down over the "bead." When the piles of fabric are in position and rolled smooth, a sheet of rubber is laid on to form the cover. If the tire is to have moulded tread the latter is formed by being built up of layers of rubber to the proper thickness. If a wrapped tread' is to be put on, the tire s moulded with only the cover in place, and after being removed from the mould has the tread wrapped upon 1t with cloth and vulcanized.- Wilfeed Dupuy in Harper's Weekly.
