CUTTING UP
A BUILDING
New York SUM

New York sum-
The Singer building, at Liberty
street and Broadway, Is going under
the knife It's top is to be slived on
and three additional stories sand
wiched in between the seventh and
eleventh floors. Work on the scaffold-
ing began yesterday. The undertake
ing is confined to the original corner
building, which is to be part OF the
History structure now going up-the
tallest office building in the world.
According to Architect Ernest
Flaggs. the slicing is necessary in or
der that the old History building shall
conform in height and outing to the
new History addition, above and from
the center of which will rise the 612-
foot tower.
Instead of actually raising the -FOUR
TOP floors lnclosed under the mansard
roof, the roof and structural material
will be removed in sections to the
ground. The eighth, ninth and tenth
floors will be built on, after which
the old mansard roof, inclosing the
four additional floors, will be replaced
section by section. The original cor
ner building will then exactly dupli-
cate the new History building adioin'
ing.

THE CHIEF TROUBLE.

at is a sad fact" said the statlst-
clan, according to Harper's Weekly,
that the ordinary waste of food in an
English middle-class family would be
sufficient to maintain wholly French
family Of similar station
True" said the epicure. And IL
is also a gratifying fact that the av-
erage French family couldn't be hired
to eat it after 1t had been cooked by
the average middle-class English fam
lily. SO that, after all, it is not wasted
as far as France is concerned"

REMARKABLE
INVENTION
PORTUGUESE HAS PRODUCED THE
WONDERFUL "CoRTIciTE."
Is Proof Against Fire, Water And
All Noises.

One of the most remarkable ma
terials ever produced by a man, says
Arthur C. Montague, in the New
York American, has just been invent
ed by Portuguese, who gives to it the
name of corticite.
Il is made principally of graduated
cork. and possesses the wonderful
qualities of being proof agaisnt fire,
water and sound.
Its application is really unlimited,
for it will resist the cold of Siberian
winter and the rays of tropical sun;
also the attacks of insects, even the
white ant being powerless against It,.
1t is no more affected by fire than if
it were stope; and can therefore be
advantageC usly used for doors, par
titions and Innings of houses, if not
for building material itself in lieu OF
brick and stone.
In fact, bricks and slabs of coticite
are already being made, and can be
sawed and bored like wood.
Being water proof, it seems TO me II
should be of incalculable value for
flooring purposes. A floor covered
with this material becomes absolutely
impervious to water and thus its i'm
| portance is very evident in connection
with this feature alone, even though
it did not possess any other adyan-
/ tage.
Tie housewife who suddenly awakes
at night and recalls that she had for
gotten to urn Of thc faucet III the
bathtub before retiring, will feel cas-
| Ter when she knows that the floor OF
| the bath room is watertight.
But the most remarkable use to
which the material can be put is as
non-conductor of sound. Imagine the
advantage to fiat-dwellers!
Let a tenant in fiat be surround
ed by ever so many noisy neighbors, II
his floor. walls and ceiling are corti'
| cite covered he can bid defiance to
them all. Pianos, dancing, singing
brass bands and even children leave
| his nerves unscathed. In the midst
of his corticite walls he may well
imagine himself in solitude, even
though all about him is noise.
On boilers and boiler tubes it is
said to reduce the temperature of the
| hottest boiler rooms to an apprecla
BILE degree. In this way 1t may be
come a great blessing to men who are
now compelled to work in boiler rooms
| where the heat is scarcely enduraole
Stokers on ships will be especially
benefited.
Great durability, amounting 10 al
most indestructibility is claimed Tor
the material, and 1t is also said to De
| easily cleaned and kept clean.
In addition to all of which, 1t is said
to be proof again ripping, tearing and
| splintering and is, accordingly, IN
every way, little short of marvellous
and above all, is comparatively mex
pensive. 1t is being sold for 81 a
square yard; but will undoubtedly De
come much cheaper under the benign
influence of competition in it's manu-
| facture.

Shadows and HighIights.

Another hour at the depot yes
terday brought out the shadows as
well as the high lights. The two
handsome boquets handed to us on
our way down to the train helped
to brighten the wedding scene as
the smiling bride received our
floral offering thru the car window
where she had taken refuge from
showers of rice.
At the same instant the casket
containing the body of d devoted
wife and mother was being depOsi-
tad in another car. On this casket
we reverently placed a cluster of
creamy white roses-because she
was the mother of one of our rail
road boys.
All around on the depot plat
form cleaned other roses on the
breasts of the faithful, loyal, rail
road men. A bright looking young
man stricken with what seemed d
death chill next demand attention.
He was a stranger on a journey
waiting for the train. Strong
hands bore him to the waiting
room while tender hearts prompted
kindness to the stranger. The
world is full of just such hearts.

The Third National Bank
Of Fitzgerald, $4,000
Capital.

In speaking of the organization
of a new bank for Fitzgerald today,
Mr.. A. B. Cook, one of the stock
holders, said "Fitzgerald already
has several splendid banking in
StitutionS but the stockholders of
the Third National Bank believe
there is ample room for another
bank. The capital stock will be
$50, 900 and has been subscribed.
National bank stock is good in
vestment and those wishing a few
shares of stock will be given an
opportunity to take stock and for
that purpose some of the larger
subscribers will be willing to cut
down their subscriptions. There
will be over one hundred stock
holders, many of them taking
only one or two S h ares.
The organization of this bank
means the bringing in of some
outside capital and one of the
most competent bankers in this
section will be identified with the
institution.
