HEROINES OF HISTORY
Significant Incidents IN the Lives of Famous Women.
BY MARK STUYVESANT

She hath a very good wit and
nothing is gotten of her but by
great policy" This criticism is
characteristic of her policy as
queen. She was then fifteen.
This was her first love affair.
But it left great impression on
her, taught her diplomacy, and
left her suspicious.
For the first twenty years Of
her reign Elizabeth was beseiged
with offers of marriage from one
monarch of Europe after another.
When a committee from Parlia-
ment called on Elizabeth and
suggested marriage and the nec-
essity Of having an heir, she re-
piled:
And for me it shall be suf-
ficient that marble stone
shall declare that Queen,
having reigned such time,
lived and died a virgin"
In her honor and because of
this Sir Walter Raleigh named
the new colony he founded in
America, Virginia. One of the
important features of her reign
was the exploration of the new
world by Raleigh and his fol-
lowers.
Although Elizabeth did not
marry, she was not without
serious sentimental attachments.
For many years she flirted with
the Duke d. Alecon, brother of
Charles TX. of France and Cathe-
rine de Medici.
Her romance with Robert Dud-
ley, whom she created Earl of
Leicester, has been immortalized
in SCOTS "Kenilworth," where
he pictures the tragic life and
death Of Dudley's wife, Amy Rob-
sart
Elizabeth even refused Philip
of Spain's proposal of marriage
But her decision to remain I'M
married, and her adherence to it
fastened England on it's way to
greatness in that she evaded any
foreign entanglements.
Elizabeth died in her SEVENTEEN
year. She had reigned forty-five
years.

The great men Of the world, like

The only enemies we have are
those we conjure forth from our

That which causes us to lose

If we hope for things Of which
we have not thoroughly considered
the value, our disappointment will
be greater than our pleasure in the

QUEEN ELIZABETH.

QUEEN ELIZABETH.
r N England in the sixteenth
century a coin was struck.
Il On it was inscribed in Latin:
ut is the Lords doings, it is
marvellous in our eyes,"
This was the exclamation of
Elizabeth upon hearing that she
had succeeded to the throne of
England.
And she spoke the words in
Latin, for she had had a remark
able education under the direc-
ton of Catherine Parr, the last
wife of her father, Henry VIII.
1t was natural that this young
woman Of twenty-five years
should have uttered these words
For her accession followed a long
period of anxiety and uncertainty
as to whether or not she would
be queen.
Elizabeth was the daughter Of
Anne Boleyn. Her father, Henry
VIII, had divorced Katherine of
Aragon in order to marry Anne.
Therefore, Elizabeth was declared
illegitimate and ineligible to the
throne.
After Henry's death, William
and Bloody Mary ruled for a
short time. The latter's reign
was inglorious.
AS a result, Elizabeth's Access
sion was hailed with delight and
enthusiasm by the entire British
people.
The young queen had been
trained to confront difficulties,
and had passed through many
phases of life which rarely trou-
BILE one Of her age.
Her mother had been beheadcd
at the order of Henry VIII. For
this reason Elizabeth was forced
into retirement, and her time
was spent chiefly in study.
Her stepmother, Catherine
Parr, married Lord Admiral Sey-
mour. who seems to have over
stepped the privileges of her step
father, and placed the young
princess in a very embarrassing
light. So serious was this situa-
ton that there was an investiga-
ton by the court. Her examiners
in reporting on it said:

ARTIFICIAL WOOD
PROVES SUCCESS
Synthetic Product Found to Pos
sess Many Qualities Of
Structural Utility.

Washington, d. C.-Experiments In
the making Of "artif1cial' lumber are
arousing increasing interest among
government officials and leaders in
the lumber industry.
Although none of the product has
been marketed, officials in the Nation
al Lumber Manufacturers association
declare that tests already made of a
synthetic composition produced by
Minnesota lumber interests show 1t
possesses many qualities making 1t
available for structural purposes.
The experiments are based on some
what the same principle as that en-
ployed in the manufacture Of paper
from wood pulp. In the process not
only the trunks and branches Of young
trees, but the leaves and smaller parts
as well are ground up and mixed with
other substances, virtually eliminating
waste. The resulting compound Is Gu
pable Of being nodded into sizes and
shapes of almost any description need

AIDA to Timber Resources.
Oflcials Of the Lumber Manufactur-
ers association declare that II a prac-
teal method Of this sort can be per-
fected the result may be to revolution
ize the entire lumber industry. Aside
from utilizing the present great waste
in converting trees into disable lum-

to the manufacturers problem Of find-

This includes stumps, chips, bark and

Already $4,000 has been spent In
experimental work In this direction by
the Weyerhaeuser lumber interests In
Minnesota. Their experiments are
said to have been undertaken largely

able for lumber purposes. This Is es-
pecially important in the lake states
where pulp mills so compete with saw
mills as to make 1t practically certain
that very little saw timber viii be
grown commercially under present
conditions.
Fifty Years Between Crops.
Timber owners find that in from If
teen to twenty years they can grow
crops Of spruce that will be suitable
for the pulp and paper mills, whereas
1t would take from fifty to one hundred
years to grow a crop that would meet
the requirements of the lumberman.
According to the manufacturers as
ISOLATION, tests have shown the artifi-
cial lumber to have a satisfactory ten
sile strength and to be capable Of being
sawed, planned and nailed. so that the
product lacks only the charms OF the
grain effects Of natural wood.
Oflcials Of the forestry service, while
declaring they had not yet been as
sured the strength Of the artificial
boards equals that Of the natural ones,
believe they would be useful for many
purposes. One OF their strong points,
it is said at the forestry service, Is
their waterproof qualities and insula-
tion against heat and cold.

COAL OPERATORS
DILLY DALLYING

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 1.-Anthra-
cite operators here have begun dilly-
dallying policy in the wage confer
ence with the U. M. w. A., which en-
dangers the peace of the coal indus
try after September 1. Continuance
of this dragging-out tactics menaces
the consumers supply Of hard coal
for the coming winter.
Representatives of the anthracite
coal combine baked at consideration
of the major issues and took up much
time expressing sympathy with less
er complaints. They attempted to
convey the impression to the public
that they were pacific and open-mind-
ed by limiting at agreement in prin-
ciple with demand No. 5 ON the min
ers' list. This demand reads:
We demand that where coal is
sRaid for by the car 1t shall then be
charged and payment shall be made
on the ton basis of 2,240 pounds, and
where dockage and penalties are now
imposed for refuse, that the amount
of such refuse to be permitted In any
car shall be fixed by the mine COM
mittee and colliery officials in con-
formity with the agreement, and that
the present unreasonable penalties
and dockage shall be abolished t
This aims at the long standing abuse
as a result of which in at least 10
per cent Of hard coal mining the
men are required to produce 3,136
pounds ito get a ton" 1t should be
understood that this demand implies
no objection to the ''yardage system"
which prevails throughout the remain
der of the fields and is working salts
factorily.
In addition to this heavy handicap
miners are also subject to arbitrary
penalties at the hands of the dock
ing boss Excess of Stag frequently
draws a dockage of 500 pounds,
which the miner must make good.
-'Too much dirt" in a three-ton car
is. punished with a days suspension
Such penalties are unfairly exacted
as a means of discrimination against
men active in the union.
After expressing sympathy with the
desire of the men to eliminate unjust
dockage, the operators stalled accept
ance on the ground that there we're
many difficulties to be ironed out in
the administration of new method
of weighing.
To the observer it appears that the
operators are working to curry favor
with the public in order that blame
for crisis on September LIST may
be successfully attached to the min
ers, who have had one experience with
signing such truce as the operators
now request and to use their own
words, at cost us five months de-
