Rodin’s ’The Biplane’
Called Remarkable
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, May 13.—Details have just
come out of a remarkable work of
sculpture that Rodin is now engaged
on. which he calls “The Biplane.”
The sculpture consists of a tall,
slender, unadorned shaft surmount- I
ed by what may' be described as a |
lengthened sphere on which twin fig- j
ures stand side by side, their bodies i
which almost touch, curving grace- ,
fully backward. Their faces are
upturned. Only one foot of each rests
on the sphere, which seems to spring
from beneath them in the moment of
flight, and their wings are only half
opened.
The two figures, which seem t<* li i
and support each other in flight,
symbolize Hie two wings of the bi
plane.

DESPISES GLORY
Conqueror’s Spirit, at Seance,
Pained by Fickleness of Fame
in Earthly Life.
PARIS May 13.—Napoleon the
Great has learned In the other world
that glory' is a bubble, according to
a communication from his shade,
quoted to-day by one who heard it at
a spiritist seance. Said the Con
queror’s spook;
"It Is very painful for spirits to note
how all the evils caused by politics
quickly disappear from the con
sciousness of people. The glory you
have acquired Is soon forgotten or
only vaguely remembered; but* you
cannot be blamed for forgetting rr lj-
ry. because everything called glo'-y
Is in reality only a great monstrosity
toward humanity.
“Your monstrous earthly politics
are nearly always inspired by the
personal ambitlops of a few Individ
uals. It is unpardonable wickedness
for men to warn people that their vi
tality in relation to liberty is at
stake.
"These are only words used ;o
influence great masses. Those utter
ing them know that nobody can de
prive the world of what God created.”

EXCELSIOR
Production of 6,805 Tons Is
Ahead of All Southern States
Except Virginia.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—Georgia,
producing 6,805 tons in nine plants,
principally from yellow pine, next to
Virginia leads all Southern States in
the manufacture of excelsior.
The figures are for the year 1911,
as compiled by the Bureau of the
Census.
Total production for the United
States in 1911 was 139.830 tons, of
which Virginia’s output was 25,160
tons, leading all states.
Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana,
Mississippi the Caroiinas. and Texas
take unimportant rank with one and
two plants each.
Excelsior has been manufactured
in this country for more than fifty
years. It was first placed on the
market in 1860, but for the ten suc
ceeding years it was not in great de
mand. Since then, it has become a
staple commodity for many impor
tant uses, until now over 85,000,000
feet of forest material are needed
eac h year to meet the demand.
Excelsior might be called ribbon
veneer, since it is made by cutting
wood into very thin strands. The
size of the strand, with the kind and
color of the wood, gauges the price
and grade. The thinnest grades are
called wood wool. The finish prod
uct is baled by a press such as is
used for baling hay, and in this form
it goes to market.
The first government record of the
excelsior industry is contained in the
reports of the Tenth Census (1880),
only the value of the raw material,
amounting to $150,800, being shown.
Assuming the value of a cord at the
lime to have been $2.50. the amount
of wood consumed would have been
about 60.000 cords, as compared with
I 42.944 used in 1911.
Cottonwood Is the favorite excel
sior wood, contributing 43.3 per cent,
of the total amount consumed.
• Yellow pine, including scrub, short-
leaf. and loblolly', was reported from
II States. Virginia using more than
all the others together. In that
State scrub pine was probably the
species most largely supplied.
The best grades of excelsior are
made from basswood. That not
more of this is used is due probably
to its scarcity and to the high price
of the stum page.
Other woods which were used for
excelsior were spruce, buckeye, cy
press, butternut, soft maple, chestnut,
birch, hemlock, beach, and w'hite
cedar.
