Portsmouth. England. recently, marks
a new era in British naval construction.
The vessel is the twenty-eighth British
Drcadnought to take the water Her

main battery consists OF ten 13.5 inch
guns firing shells of 400 pounds. or
loo pounds more than the projectles
hred by former weapons of this calibcr.
The chief feature. however. Of the
new Dreadnought Is the improve meut
That she demonstrates In her rrotec.
ton against submarine attack. over
the whole length Of the "vitals" from
the first turret to the lasO the lulll OF
the ship consists OF three separate
skins. SO that even II the two outer

pedoes the stability of the vessel would
not be impaired.

Mans KNOWLEDGE If Era

We have no evidence of the time
when man did not have the knowledge
or producing fire. II Is certain that
man possessed fire as far back as qua
ternary time. In the case of the earli-
est cave men we find numerous hearths,
ashes and cinders. bones wholly or part
~ calcined and fragments Of pottery
bIackened by smoke. AS far back as
we can go we find man cooking HIS
1000. AS to how men came by their
knowledge OF fire there is room for a
wide difference of opinion. Its use was
probably first known in some volcanic
region where 1t was suggested by ma
lure Itself. Then came the two sticks
ana later on the 6lnts. by means OF
winch men could produce the neces.
sary agent at will.

Gelatin a Protector.

Gelatin belongs to the class Of pro-
tective colloids possessing the ability to
surround minute particles Of suspen-
sions with film that prevents their
aggregation into precipitates. Since the
formation of crystals is growth from
very small nuclei. this process also
may be hindered by small amount of
gelatin. Commercially this principle is
applied in the making OF marshmal-
lows. The presence of little gelatin
does no harm-in fact II is a food
and it eifectually prevents the crystal
lization Of sugar within the marshmal-
low. Commercial ice cream contains
some gelatin for the same purpose. TO
prevent the grainness of sugar crystal
lization But further than this the gel
attn surrounds the particles Of casein
In the milk with protective film
which binders curdling and greatly
aids digestion.

VALUABLE PILING TIMBER.
British Guiana Greenheart Used In
Panama Canal Locks.

The secretary of the institute of
mines and forests OF British Guiana in
a book of information which is issued
as an official document writes rs fol-
lows:
There are three varieties of green
heart-yellow. black and maintop--all
most serviceable and durable woods IL

the taleSt forest trees of British Gui-
ana. and logs can be had from eighteen
to twenty-four inches square and sew

the great demand for this timber and
the absence of legal restriction TO pre-
vent the cutting of the young trees il
is becoming extremely difficult TO pro-
duce good greenheart. and its preserva-
ton Is worthy of the attention of the
legislature.
Greenheart is already familiar to the
trade. being highly esteemed for all
classes of submerged worl-piles. dock

Though the excellence of greenheart

before the notice of the world, its dura-
bility and suitability for lock gates are
widely known. Most of the lock gates

quire Different Treatment.
The woods employed in furniture
making and house furnishing may be
placed in three groups as regards their
filling as follows. according to A. Ash
mum Kelly in the National Builder:
Open Grained Woods.-These require
paste filling. being hard woods" Ash
beech. butternut. haywood. black wal.
nut. chestnut. elm. mahogany. oak and
rosewood
Close Grained Woods.-These are
filed with liquid filters. being soft
woods: Bass. cedar. California red.
wood gum. Oregon pine. poplar,
spruce. tamarack. white pine. Wash.
ngton fir, wildwood and yellow pine.
There is another group of woods that
occupy an intermediate place, though
they might properly he classed with
the close grained woods-namely.
birch, cherry. Circassian walnut and
maple. They are sometimes filled with
paste filler. sometimes with liquid
filler.
Chestnut and some oaks are very
open pored and not only require paste
filling. but often two Filings and
stiff paste. The purpose of the paste
filler is to I'll mp the openings In the
tissue Of the wood. the liquid part Of
the filler saturating the tissue and so
to some extent preventing the wood
robbing the varnish coat and OCCASION
ing pinholing, etc. For this purpose it
is sometimes best to apply coat OF
liquid filler over the paste filling. and
in some instances another coat Of
paste filler over the liquid is best. In
any case the idea Is to form a hard
and impermeable foundation for the
varnish coats that are TO follow.
Where staining and wax finishing are
TO he effected there is no need for
filing the pores of the wood.
4 filler should be colored to match
the wood. but should he made shade
or SO darker. whether the wood is
stained or not The following Is n
very good formula for making a paste
filler: Mix two parts of best coach
japan and three parts of raw llnseed
oil. both by weight To this liquid add
enough finely pulverized silica to form
stiff paste. If this can be run
through hand mill all the better.

pigment as desired for color.
