BURNT CORK.
The Paste Used by Minstrel Perform

The Paste Used by Minstrel Perform CTS When "BIacking Up.'
 The popular impression as to the ap- plication of burnt cork by minstrel performers and actors in general is that it is rubbed on the face and hands of the player from a cork whose end is charred in convenient gas jet. This impression is. however, incorrect. The burnt cork used by minstrels and others is the product of the theatrical paint factories" just as is any other cosmetic or pigment employed by the profession.
 One house makes it in the following manner: The corks are placed in three tin vessels, resembling wash boilers. bottom. Alcohol is sprinkled over the corks. and they they are fired" When the corks have been properly charred they are placed in muslin sacks, which are kneaded in barrels of water. This operation forces the powdered charcoal through the sacks into the water
 When all the charred corks have been Wofked through the sacks into the water in this way the water is drained through a close canvas sack. and what remains in that sack is ready for the performers. The stuff is put up in cans, from which. when the minstrel is ready to "black up," he takes little of the black paste in his hands and applies it to his face. neck and sometimes his hands.-New York Herald

The word derrick for a machine used to lift heavy weights is curiously de- rived from London hangman in the beginning of the seventeenth century whose name was Theodoric and who is often mentioned in old plays.

WASHINGTON. Dec. S.-Narragansett
bay. Rhode Island, has been selected as
the site OF one OF the three great At
lantic coast navy yards proposed by Sec
rotary OF the Navy Meyer I'm his reor-
ganization plans, the others being at Nor
folk and Guantanamo. This will mean
the elimination OF the New York, the
Boston and the Portsmouth, ~ H. yards.
Mayor Fitzgerald of Boston today had
a long conference with Secretary Meyer.
who pointed out that when tho Panama
canal was opened the battleship fleet
would divide much OF It's time between
the east and west coasts OF the United
States and would lessen the need for
navy yards on the Atlantic side.
NarTagansett bay was selected as the
site for the northern yard because II was
sufficient to provide harbor area for the
anchorage Of the biggest fleet and it's en-
frances could easily be protected.
