YACHT RACES OUT
INTEREST CENTERs IN SPEEDY
 MOTOR BOATS.
Coming Regatta At Pensacola, Firss In Which All Large Gulf Ports Are To Be Repre-
 tented.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 26.-tSpcciai) That interest in motor boat racing is fast replacing yacht contests along the gulf coast Is noticeable from the large number of letters which have been received by the secretary of the Pen- sacola Yacht and Motor Boat Club, which recently sent out invitations to all of the motor boat clubs from Gal weston to Tampa to participate in a regatta In November.
 Five years ago sailing races were the only events of this character. but since then the motor boat has replaced the sailing craft and two years ago when club sent out invitations for race of sail boats, there were not Il dozen to respond. Several racing motor boats along the Texas coast have been entered and some as far east as Tampa.
 The gathering will be the frst on the gulf coast wkene all of the large ports will be represented. as hereto fore the handicaps have been so arr ranged that the fastest boats mad to race with smaller ones and allow the handicap.

 Norwegian Bark Wrecked. The Export Lumbar EompanY. char

The Export Lumber Company. char ters of the Norwegian Bark Ida. re- ceived a telegram from the master of that vessel this morning stating that she is almost a total wreck having been lowed into Key West . day or two ago by a passing steamer.
 The vessel was loaded here with a cargo of almost 100000 of lumber for Buenos Ayres by the lumber com- pany and sailed about ten days ago. It was thought that she had gotten foo far on her voyage to be touched to any extent by the hurricane of last Monday, but 1t appears that she was in the very center of it. It is evil dent that she was delayed after reach ing the gulf on account of adverss winds and had proceeded only a few hundred miles out and was thus in the track of the hurricane.

reached Montgomery in the early
morning. No provision had been
| made for transportation further. We
were left in an old cotton shed while
| the captain went out to make ar
rangements for our continuing our
| journey. This took him all day. and
the best he could do was to have his
! yankees turn out to push the cars in
the making up of his train. At first
we objected to do this. but, remember
ing that We were on parole and on
our way home. We concluded 40 do
all we could to hurry matters along.
q neglected to state in the proper
place that we were paroled before
leaving Tuscaloosa.0
We got a few cars together. enough
for a short train, and about night the
captain managed to set an engine to
pull the same. But the old engine
was not much good, and the only way
we could get up steep grade was 10
cut the train in two and then let the
wheezy old locomotive draw us up in
sections.
While doing all this we discussed
the relative merits of Wirz and Can
tain Griswold. Wirz was q man OF
force and energy of character. He
was good business man. When he
ordered train for use it was apt to
be there on time. He had at his back
the whole southern confederacy. He
dared order anything, and would turn
out his guards to see that he got what
he wanted. Griswold, though kind,
had little force Of character, and was
no business manager. He would ask
Tor thing modestly. and accept any
old thing he could get,-as in the case
of the cotton mill at Tuscaloosa for
our winter quarters. Wirz would have
captured a train and showed his Yanks
into it and told the railroad folks that
when he got through with it they
could have it back. But Wirz was an
old brute in Richmond. He promised
to put me into irons there once; but
he was a good friend TO us after we
left there.

The question naturally arises, says

witchment still there? Is the voice
as musical as of old? The vivid and
capacious intellect as energetic and
as dominant? Those who saw her
playing last spring to crowded hous-
es at the Theater Sarah Bernhard

actress of her resource and expert

WANTS TO LABEL FIRETRAPs.
Associat on Says 1t Would Prevent
Bad Construction.

6dG SSiiShi ISliGii-
To put the label Dangerous" upon
every public CT semipubHc building
that is not strictly freproof-this is
the bold suggestion made in an article
contributed to The World Today by
F. w. Fitzpatrick, president OF the
international Society OF Building
commissioners.
To mark a hotel or theater fire
proof" when it is not, he says, is OBJ
Ia ming money under false pretenses,
and should be punished as such. II
city governments wouId compel true
labels on buildings, it would do more
to promote firepToof construction, Mr..
Fitzpatrick thinks, than any other
measure yet suggested.
In the course of his article the
writer gives figures showing how
much greater the fire loss is in the
United States than in other cOun-
tries. In the United States about
$215, 100000 worth Of property is de-
sroyed by fire every year. The cost
of fire departments and insurance
brings the total outlay on account OF
fires up to $6OO,000,O00. The fire ex-
pense equals, and in some years eX-
ceeds, the entire amount spent on new
buildings.
"An this terrible waste by fire is
directly attr butable to ignorance and
carelessness," writes Mr. Fitzpatrick.
THE actual combustion we indulge in
is equal to a tax of $3.50 per capita
per year. In Italy it is II cents, in
Germany 40 cents; in all Of Europe
the average is less than SO cents"
After describing the losses due to
fire, Mr.. Fitzpatrick proceeds to tell
how the country ought to guard
against them. The remedy, he says,
is not splendid fire fighting apparatus,
but good construction. The first great
precept, he says, is to confne fire to
as small a space as possible. EleVa-
tors and stairWays should be en-
closed; there should be self-closing
fre-doors; window sashes should be
of metal.
In the steel buildings the metal
framework must be entirely protected
by burnt clay. If this same fre-proot
material is used for floors and parti,
tions, then the spread of a fire that
starts within the building is prevented
Visit the scene of any fire." says
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, "and you will see
that unprotected steel has twisted
and squirmed into all kinds of fan
tastic shapes. Every particle of steel
has to be thoroughly protected against
fire; and, for this, burnt clay is the
most dependable medium. 1t is the
ideal material for resistance to fire.
IF New York had spent half OF
what her fire department has cost
ner, in the way Of better construction
of her buildings, the greater part Of
the city would have been today indie
structible The difference In the in1
tial cost of an absolutely fireproot
building and an ordinary one is only
such that the interest paid upon the
add ,tonal amount would not equal the
yearly premium paid for the excessive
insurance or ordinary construction.

Costumes Obtained From Trees.

Considering the great antiquity Of
the art of weaving vegetable fibers
into cloth, says Professor Macmillan
in the Strand Magazine, it is remark
able that in some portions Of the trop-
ical world there are at the present
day races of men who obtain their
rude costumes from the inner bark of
certain trees. Before the advance of
civilization such material, it is be
lieved, provided the principal articles
of clothing" for inhabitants of trop-
ical regions, as did the skins of ami
mails for people in cooler chimes. One
of the best examples of these trees is
the Sack tree" (Antiaris innoxia) of
CeylOn. To obtain the bark of this
the tree Is felled and cut into sec
lions; these are submerged in still wa
ter for several weeks for the purpose
of rOtting the bark, the latter being
then washed and pounded so as to
separate the parenchymatous tissues
from the interviewer layer Of fibres
The bark is afterwards dried and
bleached, when it Is ready for use In
a fashion according to the fancy of
the wearer. The sections of the bark
may be cut into any length so as to
adapt 1t for either a ready-made skirt,
kilt or shirt.

Ascent by an Arete.

It seems likely that Mckinley must

be one of much difficulty as a tecnn1-
cal Alpine task. Above an altitude OF
Is OO0-1S,0 600 feet, the actual climbing
should not be prohibitive; the worst,
in a trained mountaineer's opinion,
would be over; the forces left to con-
tend with would be those of cold, IA,
