GERMANS SINK FAMOUS BARK
Fiery Crosse Was PartIclpator In Great
Tea Races Of '6os-outilved All
Her Contemporaries.

The Norwegian bark Fiery Cross,
recently sunk by German submarine
of the Scilly isles, was the celebrated
China clipper that figured so promi-
nently in the great tea races Of the
SOS, says the New York Times. She
was built in 1860 to replace the old
Eaeiy Cross, which had been wrecked
in the previous year.
Basil Lubbock, in his fascinating
work on 1.-The China Clippers" says:
She was commanded on her maiden
voyage by Dallas, who had been so
successful with the first Fiery Gross.
Then Richard Robinson had her until
1850, and under these two famous
shippers she proved well-nigh irwin
chile, receiving the premium for the
first vessel in dock on no fewer than
four occasions, and being only "a
hours behind in 1864 and 1886. Be
sides remaining in the forefront Of the
racing for years longer than any other
vessel, she outlived all her contempt
raries."
In the great tea race of 1885, won
by the Ariel, the Fiery Cross held the
lead for long time. and when in the
Downs was obliged to anchor because
Of gale that sprang up. In 1871 she
deserted the London trade for that of
New York, and was afterward sold to
the Norwegians.

Whv Men eat More.

That men eat or per cent more
than women-not because they are
gluttons. but because they actually
require that much more nourishment
appears as result of an investiga-
ton made in the nutrition laboratory
of the Carnegie Benedict and L. q
Eames, says the Literary Digest The
reason for the discrepancy seems to
be that women have smaller proper
ton Of active tissue than men Of the
same weight and more inactive mate
rial, such as fat. The investigation
disclosed that the average woman
generates only 1856 heat units in the
twenty-four hours, as against 1858
produced by the man, or about 2 per
cent more for the latter per pound Of
body. weight. When groups were COM
pared. after careful selection of indi-
viduals of nearly the same height and
weight. the men were found to pro-
duce about IL per cent more heat

The discovery that women of Stet-

LamprrImmer,s SIGNAL.

Arc-lamp trimmers frequently find
it difficult to lower the arc lamp on a
busy street without danger of having
the lamp crashed into by passing
vehicles. A man in Minneapolis has
devised signal consisting of tripod
with two white signal wings on which
red circles are painted. This the
lamp trimmer places on the street
under his lamp, and then he may
lower the lamp without fear of a
collision.

ANALYSIS Of the AppIe.

Ripe apples contain about SO per
cent water, GA per cent of protein,
1875 per cent of carbohydrates, per
cent of ash, and 81 per cent of cellu-
lose. They contain a fuel value OF
290 Galleries to the pound. OF the
carbohydrates, from so to rs per cent
is sugar and the remainder is made
up of vegetable gums or pectose. Pee
tose is the substance which causes
fruit to jelly. The amount of cellu-
lose in fruit varies at different stages
of ripeness and in different varieties
Ripe apples contain more sugar and
less celluloise and acid than green ap
pies.

TEA the Allies, Favorite Drink.

The favorite drink of the French
army today. as 1t is in both the Eng
lish and Russian armies, is tea. There
are many tea canteens along the
front, where men can get hot cups of
tea on entering and leaving the
trenches. Every one Of these have

sometimes serve $4,000 cups of tea a

The enormous deposit Of asphalt
of Leyte province. in the Philippines,
is now to be worked for the eastern
market by local company. This al
most inexhaustible deposit lies so near
the shore line at Tacloban that ships
can anchor and take on cargoes OF

mines with practically no overland
transportation. There is a large and

APEX OF WASHINGTON SHAFT
Few People Know Purpose Of Parallel
Iron Bands That Bind Brow of
Monument.

Few persons who have seen the
Washington monument, even those
who have lived within sight of it all
their lives, have noticed that the apex
of the monument is surrounded with
parallel bands. Such is the fact, how
ever; and moreover, the bands are
studded with golden points. The bands
are made of gold-plated iron a foot
wide and the points are spaced foot
from one another.
For few moments in each sunny
day Of the first week Of the new year
the golden fillet that binds the brow
of the Washington monument is Wis
ible to human eyes. Then the angle
of incidence of the suns rays Is such
that they are reflected downward to
the windows Of the buildings north
and west of the monument, and the
cool, gray surface is seen to be marked
with eleven shining lines of gold.
theoretically, a similar effect could
be obtained from some point of obser-
walton at each moment when the suns
rays are intercepted by the sloping top
of the monument, but only an airship
could attain the necessary vantage
point.
According to the original plan of
the monument, 1t was protected from
lightning by an aluminium tip that was
connected with the metal framework
of the elevator During the very first
summer after the monument was COM
pleted. however. 1t was struck twice
and piece of stone was clipped from
the top.
Experts from the scientific depart
ments of the government were called
on to contrive plan for the better
protection of the shaft, and they de-
cided that copper bands. studded with
projecting points, would accomplish
the purpose. Colonel Casey. who had
charge of the work, objected on the
ground that copper would turn green
and that the verdigris would run" and
spoil the appearance Of the monu.
ment; he also doubted that the copper
would have the necessary tensile
strength.
So the men Of science agreed on a
number of iron bands, heavily gal
vanized and gold-Dlated to prevent rust.
ing. The bands are connected with
the aluminium point of the monument
and the framework of the elevator
and at the base iron cables lead the
electricity into a deem well. where II

CRANDALL's THEATER,
Ninth and Z Streets Northwest


Starting tomorrow the William Fox
| Film Company will present the five
reel picture, The Galley Slave,
featuring the beautifully fascinating,
seductive Theda Bara in the title role.
The Galley Slave" is adapted for the
screen from the play of the same name.
by BARLEY Campbell. and at the time
of its stage production was labelled
the drama of thrills" In producing it
for the patrons of the silent drama,
J. Gordon Edwards, the director, has

Seldom has Miss Bara had a better

wonderful talents than in this superb
photo-drama. Last week the picture
was shown in New York and the
various dramatic critics were unani-

ing stars work in this powerful
dramatic picture.
THE story. in brief, is woven around
party of Americans travelling on
the Continent. In Venice they meet
Sydney Norcott, an artist, who falls
in love with Cicely Blaine, an heiress
of the party. She is insanely jealous
of her lover. especially so of his model,
beautiful Francesca. Francesca has a

baron manages to win the heiress from
