in such troubles, says the New York
Tribune, related the following incident:
"A prominent man in Boston, who had
slight shock but who apparently had
quite recovered. wished some nails and
went into a hardware shop to purchase
them. Il want a dozen or so of arch
angels, he said to the somewhat mysti-

things as some small nails he tried the
third time with like result, and finally
gave it up in despair. L never saw any
thing like the stupidity of these shop

make up the church-gong population.
Further south the Prcsbytcrians thicken
again, and in Worcester, the most south

is {; great host of Prcsbytcrians, many
of them descended from the founders of

It would be hard to say which e ::tun-

all his jokes are new and "side-split-

take everything seriously. An ex-goy-

BILLIARD BALLS OF MILK.

Tho Latest Novelty of Science Is d Substi-
tutc for Bone.
Another substitute for bone, cclluloid,
etc., in some of the industrial arts has
been brought to public attention. says
tho New York Sun, the substance in
this case being milk, it's usefulness be-
ing exhibited in the form of combs, bill
lard balls, brush backs, knife handles
and various other articles for which
ivory, bone or celluloid are employed
In accomplishing this casein, or the
solids in milk, is first reduced to n par
TALLY gelatinous condition by means of
borax or ammonia and then mixed with
mineral salt dissolved in acid or water,
which liquid is subsequently evapo-
rated.
The casein Is placed in suitable ves-
sci and the borax incorporated with it
by heat, the proportions being ten kilo-
grams of casein to three of borax, dis
solved in six iters of water, and, on the
casein becoming changed in appear
ance, the water is drawn off, and to the
residue, while still of the consistency of
melted gelatinc, there is added one kill
ogram of mineral salt held in solution
of three liters of water. Almost any of
the salts of iron. lead, tin, zinc, copper
or other minerals, soluble in acid. may
be used. On the mixture being effected
the solid matter is found separated from
the greater portion of the acid and
water, and is then drawn off.
Next the solid matter is subjected to
great pressure to drive out all possible
moisture, and then to evaporatc under
great heat to remove any remaining
moisture. The resulting products,
called ''lactites," can be nodded into
any form, and by admixture of pigments
or dyes may be of any desired color.

DROP IT.

THE TINES prints elsewhere an ex-
haustive article on the dement's of the
Herring interceptor. The arguments
against the Herring plan are those ad-
vanced by practical engineers who, by
long years of residence in Roanoke, are
better qualified to judge the merits or
dement's OF any system than any engi-
neer, however eminent, who makes a
pflying visit and cursory examination of
Roanoke's peculiar topography.
THE TINES desires to be perfectly
fair. 1t has printed all of Mr.. Hering's
reports and all the documents relating
thereto. 1t has given fair hearing to
the advocates of his plan and will open
its columns to any article which will
throw light upon tho subject. But it
has consistently and persistently op-
posed the interceptor as an unwise, un-
necessary and costly experiment Of
doubtful value.
There is well-founded idea in the
public mind that the sewer committee
itself, as we'll as Council, was at first
opposed to the Herring plan, and was
only won over by the doubtful argu-
ment that Mr.. Hering's reputation was
a sufficient guarantee of the correctness
of his plans.
Gentlemen of the City Council, this
course of action is distinctly dangerous
to the welfare of Roanoke. Already
mutterings are arising from financial
circles, that wiser policy of admins
tration Of municipal affairs in Roanoke
will be necessary to the placing of fur
Their issues of its bonds. Let no doubt
full piece of extravaganza expenditure
mar the record of the present Council.
1t is very easy matter to ignore the
bids and let Mr.. Hering's interceptor
remain in its present condition of paper
existence-a $500 thing of beauty and
fine drawing. Put it on the shelf with
tho sheet asphalt.
