House of Steel and Cork An Experiment DEAL. Eng. (AP) Not far from I he famous Deal Custle built by Henry V II I. several workmen's houses of cork and steel frame work, are being built us an experi ment designed to assist In relieving he housing shortage in England. The entire skeleton of the newly conceived houses Is of steel und he inHufciUon core of the walls is formed of slab of compressed "ork. On the exterior the cork is -n closed in solid concrete to the b-pth f an inch and a hnlf by a 'cement gun" which applies the -onerete under pressure. The cork itself, having been pressed Into a mold, will not swell und burns very slowly. Calculations of the hullders show that Its insulation value saved 1!5 pT cent In heating .'OStS. Another advantage for the cork house claimed by the Inventors ts hat It is sound proof in compart :on with the ordinary structure of .rick, atone or timber.

The. belief that Kansas, center of i the V piled States, exerts some un- xplalued Influence on the heaven ly wundercrs, is without foundation, In fact, the professor asserted. A charl of recorded ineteoritic falls discloses that one-fifth of the sig nificant finds in the world have been in Kansas, and tills bus led, according to Professor Nlnlnger. to tin popular and fallacious impres sion thut this state is peculiarly at tractive to meteorites. - Two explanations he offered for the apparent monopoly Kansas litis maintained: the chiiracter of the soil, and the Interest aroused in (ho science.

Professor Nlnlnger pointed out, "which huye not been seen to fall, may a considered umong th rarest events in the annals u teorlteN. in only two localities on this continent have such finds oc curred in numbers western Kun- sas und the coastal plains, of Texas.
