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. Owing to
-he fact that it may be built by
unskilled labor under direction of
Aperienced hands the caM Is low
uii! tic a 'i! ki it h's hope buildings
it t his kir.d may prove populur
iiuong th' co.il miners ami other

subject of meteorites. .
The. belief that Kansas, center of i

In fact, the professor asserted. A
charl of recorded ineteoritic falls
discloses that one-fifth of the sig

been in Kansas, and tills bus led,
according to Professor Nlnlnger. to
tin popular and fallacious impres

Two explanations he offered for
the apparent monopoly Kansas litis

"The finding of stony mpteor

out, "which huye not been seen to

with Hie result that fanners began
lo believe that the heuvy stones
with which they were weighting
down fences am) roofs were in fact
meteorites. Thus were the disovr

Scientists have never satlsfnctor-

of Iron meteorites in large show
