VILLAGE OF CLAY HOUSES.
Novel Project Started in New Jersey
Fire Danger Averted.

An unusual undertaking, the build
ing of a fireproof village, is in prog
ress at Mountain Station, on the bor-
der line between Orange and South
Orange, N. J. Six houses are well
on the way to completion already and
they are all made of burned clay in
the form of hollow blocks. The roofs
are of either asbestos shingles or
slate.
Nowhere else in the country, it is
said, are there so many fireproof
dwelling houses in one group. The
scheme is the result of the study of
improved methods of construction
within the last few years.
The heirs of the Henry A. Page es-
tate are carrying through the under
taking. One of the Page heirs who
has been interested, for several years,
in developing the properties of the
estate, formerly put up houses of re-
inforced concrete. Recently he re-
tained an engineer to make special
investigation of fireprof materials
and building methods, for the pur-
pose of comparison. The consequence
of the investigation was that terra
Gotta blocks, instead Of concrete, were
chosen for the Jersey dwellings.
Squires and Wynkoop and Rossiter
and Wright are the architects.
T Each of the houses now being built
at Mountain Station has eight or ten
rcms. All partitions, as well as the
floors and outside walls, are OF terra
Gotta, so that fire could not spread
from one room to another. In one of
the houses is a floor with span of
eighteen feet, the longest span ever
made with this type of construction

FINED $1,000.
Republican Chairman First Offender
Under G.. p, A.

Chairman Charles w. Hobbs, OF the
Republican State Central Committee,
who was arrested by the States At
torney of Caroline county upon the
charge of violating the Corrupt Prac-
tees act on Tuesday, pleaded guilty
In court and was fined $1,000 by JUS
tice Steele at Denton. He paid the
fine.
Mr.. Hobbs was suspected on Tues
day of having received money from
the Republicans to be used in buying
votes in the county. A warrant was
sworn out for him and he was ar
rested. 1t is said he stated aA the time
that he got the money through Mar
ion Humphreys, nephew of Uncle
BIZ Jackson, the Republican candi-
date for Congress. Mr.. Humphreys
he said, had met him st hotel IN
Philadelphia and made the arrange
ment with him.
This is the first conviction under
the Corrupt Practices act and 1t Is be-
lieyed the moral effect of the case
will be far-reaching. Other bribine
cases in the county will probably be
dismissed.

1t is little early for the launching of
"booms," but the talk about bestowins
Senatorial togas on Theodore Roosevelt
and William j Bryan is interesting
through premature. Senators Burkett.
of Nebraska, and Depew, Of New York
to succeed whom Messrs. Bryan and
Roosevelt are being mentioned, will rot
retire until March 3, 1911; and be-
tween then and now good deal of water
will run under bridges. The possibility
of seeing the Senate strengthened by the
inclusion of two of the most forceful
rhetoricians of their generation is an en-
gaging one, nevertheless.

YOUR STEED.

A well-kept horse is thoroughly
gromed every morning as soon as he
has finished his first meal. His after
toilet needs are herewith set forth by
Suburban Life
A second daily toilet is net abso-
lutely necessary except to clean the
horse up bit for a second tourney
if he be very dirty; but the hoofs
should be cleaned out again st night.
Neglect of this practice often results
in horse standing all night with a
nail, stone or other foreign body
lodged in the hoof or frog, causing
lameness. Though mud on The legs
is best removed by dry brushing after
it has dried on, mud from limestone
roads should be washed off with water
Immediately on coming In, as IL is very
irritating and may cause "mud-8ever;;"
the legs must, however, be most care
fully and thoroughly dried after wash
ing. When a horse comes In tired
and muddy do not worry him with
grooming unless he is very wet, in
which case he should be rubbed dry
with stable rubber or a wisp and
have blanket thrown lightly over
him, to be changed for his ordinary
night blanket when he is quite cool
and dry.
Never blanket a horse that comes
in the least bit warm, or he viii break
out into sweat, the blanket will be-
come wet and clammy and he will
catch cold If the stable be very cold
light rug may be thrown over his
loins, but with decently warm stable
he will be best withost clothing till
he has finished his feed, say from 30
to so minutes.

PAPER FROM CORN STALKS.
Successful Effort of Government Chem
lists to Cheaper Product.

Chemists of the bureau of forestry
and the bureau of plant industry OF
the department of agriculture, says a
Washington dispatch, believe that they
have solved the problem of a cheaper
paper that will dispense altogether
with the use of wood fiber. The new
material, from which already five
grades have successfully been made,
is the ordinary cornstalk, and officials
of the department predict that the
new product when made on a larger
scale will be at least so per cent cheap
er than the print paper now made from
wood pulp.
The two bureaus have been working
on the problem for years, but not until
now have the results been so positively
successful as to permit of any an
nouncement. The first practicable
sample have been manufactured by
DR.. H. S. Bristol and his assistants at
the new laboratory on Pennsylvania
avenue.
DR.. Bristol has already carried his
experiments to the point of making
the paper in five shades. One grade
is dark gray, thick and heavy like
parchment and almost as tough as
sheepskin. Then there is a lighter
shade of the same character, two
shades of yellow and one of white.
The white paper is made from the
hard outside shell of the stalk and the
yellow grades from the pith. The yel-
low grades have a much longer fiber
and resemble paper made from linen
rags or cotton. 1t is very soft and
pliable.
Millions of tons of cornstalks will be
available for this new manufacture, ac-
cording to the department of agricul-
ture. At present the stalks are annual
ly destroyed in enormous quantities to
get them out of the way or else are
simply turned under the soil with a
plow to add slightly to the fertiliza-
ton of the next years crop.
The process of manufacturing the
new invention is much easier than
that involved in reducing wood pulp
to paper. The chemists have used in
their experiments the soda coked'
process, which has ben found to be
the best for making the finer grades
of wood pulp paper. But the corn
stalks only need about two and halt
hours of cooking in this process
against the Thirteen or fourteen hours
needed to soften the wood pulp.
So far the new paper has been made
only in laboratory without special
machinery or the wholesale production
necessary to insure cheapness, but the
department is going to experiment al
once on a larger scale and believes
that the price of white paper as well
as the other grades will be reduced tt
a startling degree.
mo special growth of corn is need
ed,'' said one of the chemists. 1--WE
have used the ordinary stalk from the
Virginia fields, and the kind that is de-
stroyed in Texas, Tennessee and else
where in wasteful quantities each veal
can now be turned to use. Not onl!
will the cost of paper be greatly re
duced, but the farmer will have al
added asset in byproduct that ough
to net him neat sum each year"
The department will at once take
steps to have the manufacture of tht
new paper undertaken on larger
scale.
