MANY AT PYTHIAN FAIR.
Three Weeks Carnival and Festival
Closes at Midnight Tonight.

At midnight tonight the, carnival and
festival of the knights of Pythias, which
has been open for the past three weeks;
will pass into history. and the treasurer
of the temple fund will have q greatly
added load OF responsibility.
While Alexandria, Va. entertained one
Of the largest crowds in its history last
evening. there were still some people left
In Washington; and they crowded the
main hall Of the Pythian Temple during
the evening. The special entertainment
last evening was some tight wire walking
by Allen Gales Jennings, assisted by
Charles r. Allen. He kept the crowd on
the anxious seat for many minutes by his
stunts on the wire: but when he balanced
ladder on the wire, then balanced him
self on the ladder and played ragtime on
the mandolin. every one held their
breaths. He was heartily applauded.
AS tonight is the last night Of the fair,
special preparations are being made to
accommodate a large crowd.

coLD-sroRAGE BUILDINGS.
How They Are Now Made I'm
pervious to Heat.

pervious to Heat.
From Cement Age.
The modern theory Of successfully in
sulating buildings for cold storage and
other purposes is based upon entrapped
affair that Is actually dead. This means
that the air must be In sealed spaces and
that the spaces must be minutely small
otherwise the essential idea Of "still air.
is overthrown. The insulation must de-
pend for its entrapped air upon the inter-
stices or cells Of the material employed
rather than only alternate layers of solI'
insulation and air spaces.
This new principle Of Insulation. which
does away with double walls with air
spaces between, has brought into vogue
solid insulation. In this type the protec-
ton consists Of layers or blocks OF va
rious materials set in Portland pitch ce-
ment directly against brick or concrete
walls and protected on the inside surface
by plaster or tile. The space Occupie1
by solid insulation is much less than that
utilized by the older construction. If a
fireproof or slow burning material be used
In making the insulation the fire risk Is
greatly reduced.
The materials available for this So
called solid method of Insulation are
chiefly cork and compressed mineral wool
blocks called 'lith.''
Cork, by virtue of its natural state and
apparent use for which nature intended
1t, lends itself admirably to insulating
purposes. In cold storage work cork Is
efficient as q non-conductor of heat. Is
free from capillary attraction. and has
no tendency to absorb moisture freely.
When used as cord boards 1t is granu-
lated, compressed in iron molds and
baked while under pressure. Its own ma
tural gum being liquefied by the heat and
uniting the granules into solid blocks.
These have fair structural strength and
are quire fireproof.
Lith is made from rock fiber mineral
wool and degummed fax fiber. In the
process of manufacturing the settling
propensities of the mineral wool are re-
moved and the product given structural
strength by the degummed flax fiber. The
finished material Is a strong. light, dura-
Bile board It consists Of many minute
cells which conflne air with the least pos
sible chance for circulation. Lith is fair
ly fireproof. good non-conductor OF heat,
and. when cost Is considered, compares
fayorably with cork board.

Dangers Considered Past.

Increasing confidence obtains in the
State Department regarding the situation
in provincial Turkey. The hope is ex
pressed that conditions will improve from
now on.
This feeling is based largely on dis
patches from the American embassy at
Constantinople and press dispatches from
the disturbed districts.
A vigilant watch will be kept by the
State Department on developments
throughout Turkey to the end that
American lives and property shall be
safeguarded, supplementing it's represen-
tations to the porte by the presence of
war vessels that are soon to reach Asia

his death being due to remorse. For sew

executions, but recently he was summon

upon him was so painful that he was
unable to face the ordeal when sum-

BIG SCHOONER GOES ASHORE
WILLIAM C. CARNEGIE IN
DANGER ON LONG ISLAND.
Life Savers Unable to Get Boat
Through the Surf-Call for
Assistance.

NEW YORK. May 1.-The five-mastsd
schooner William c. Carnegie of Port
land, Me, went ashore near the Mo-
riches life-savfng station, on the south
coast of Long Island, in a northeast
gale and thick weather early this
morning. The vessel now lies broad
side to the beach about half a mile
off shore. with the waves dashing over
her. Capt. Reed and his crew of nine
men, unable to reach the shore, boarded
their yawl boat, and rowing seaward.
anchored to await the coming of help.
Although the 1ife-saving crews OF the
Moriches. Forge River and Potunk sta
tions were on the beach. they could
render no assistance and an appeal for
a revenue cutter was sent to this city.
The Carnegie was bound from Nor.
folk to Portland and was sighted On
the beach fifteen miles west of Shinne-
cock lighthouse at 40 o'clock a. m, the
captain evidently having lost his course
In the mist. which overhung the ocean.
Capt. Charles T. Gordon of the Mo-
riches station and Capt Isaac Glider
sleeve OF Potunk, formed crew Of
the self-bailing. lifeboat OF the Mo-
riches station through q tremendous
surf.
Life Savers in Danger.
The boat was overturned, and two
of the life savers were caught under
meath it and nearly drowned before
their comrades could rescue them. At
tempts to get through the surf were
then abandoned and the life savers
brought UP their Lyle gun and attempt
ed to shoot a line across the rigging
of the vessel. The Carnegie was lying
a quarter Of a mile from the beach and
nine times the shot fell short of her.
Perceiving that no help could be ex-
pected from the beach, and with the
vessel in danger Of breaking up under
the pounding Of the seas which con-
stantly swept her decks, the captain
and crew of the Carnegie managed TO
get their yawl into the water and aban-
doned the vessel, rowing of shore.
They anchored the small boat there
and were apparently in no imminent
danger AS there were no signs Of
either sea or wind abating and it was
impossible for any boat to pass through
the surf, the life savers telephoned to
this city for assistance, requesting that
a revenue cutter be sent to pick UP
the Carnegie's crew. The vessel was
then holding together and 1t was OK
pected she would last through the
storm unless it increased.
