The Lightest Wood

The lightest wood in existence is the wood of ambach, leguminous plant that grows near Lake Chad and on the tribu- taries of the upper Nile. The tree. which Is sometimes called the pith tree, often attains diameter of six inches in the two or three years of it's life At that age 1t dies and another shoot stars from its roots. When cut. the wood is almost white and is soft and brittle, like the pith of the elder. Some of the wood is ex- ported to the United States and Eng land to make floats for fishing tackle, and in general to be used as substitute for cork. Ambach wood contains minute crystals of calcium oxalate, which quickly dull the axes and knives of the choppers
 On the other hand, the presence of the crystals makes the wood. it is said an excellent substitute for the usual razor strop.

BERLlI. via Seville July 10.- Vienna dispatches report thd hun 6reds of Italian troops along the Tyroi frontier are daily deserting to the Aus
 trians. The men state that Italy is heartily tired of the great struggle already and fully realized the futility of succeeding in an invasion of the Aus trian territory through the Tyrolese Alps. The Italian troops are fighting with little spirit and at several points near the Swiss frontier have displayed the greatest cowardice in the face of joint attacks of the German and Aus trian troops. The Italian forces at tempting to advance in the Gradisl<a section have become hopelessly stalled and are unable to move the defending Austrians from their strongly intrench- ed positions. Severe fighting is taking place along the Isonza front with the enemy making heroic efforts to pierce the Austrian lines. Six hundred Ital- ian troops were captured in the recent fighting in the Monfalcone section.
 The heavy resistance encountered along the eastern slopes of the Adigie valley has caused a complete suspen- sion of the Italian advance on Rover edo and the enemy are now endeavor- ing to hold their positions in the face

Fire broke out again on the vessel shortly after its arrival here yester- day. but was soon overcome by the calling out of the local fire department and no further damage resulted.
