Mr.. EDITOR: Mr.. Dan Mackenzie is

about small matter of politics that the

he was coming round to give me some of

A Substitute for Ivory.

Hitherto none of the persistent efforts to

process based upon the employment of
those materials of which natural ivory is
composed, consisting. as it does, of tribasic
phosphate of lime, calcium carbonate, mag
nesia, alumina, gelatine and albumen. BY
this process quicklime is first treated with
sufficient water to convert it into the n.y.
drate, but before ii has become completely
hydrated or Stacked, an aqueous solution
Of phosphoric acid is poured on it, and
while stirring the mixture the calcium car
Donate, magnesia and alumina are incor-
porated in small quantities at Il time, and
lastly the gelatine and albumen dissolved
in water are added The point to aim at is
to obtain a compost sufficiently plastic and
as Intimately mixed Us possible. 1t is then
set aside to allow the phosphoric acid TO
complete it's action upon the chalk. The
following day the mixture, while still
plastic, is pressed into the desired form in
molds and dried in "a current of air at "A
temperature OF about $50 degs- c. To com
plere the preparation of the artificial prod
uct by this process it is kept for three or
four weeks, during which time it becomes
perfectly hard. The following are the pro-
portions for the mixture, which can be
colored by the addition of suitable sub
stances: Quicklime, 100 parts; water, 800
parts; phosphoric acid solution, .05 sp. gr,

A Convenl-nt Laundry Bag-A Present

Double bags for soiled linen are very
handy in a bedroom and take very little
space, being made to hang fiat against the
wall The bags shaped like huge rectan-
gular pocket are made out of doubled
piece of stout cretonne, the two parts, back
and front, having a deep slit or aperture,
through which peeps out the sateen lining
of some cheerful hue, like the panel or par
tition added inside to form two recepta-
cles. Through the deep heading is inserted
a wooden rod, and against this firm line
are sewn at the back rings, to be suspend
ed to a corresponding number of nails or
hooks.
A quaint device which furnishes a good
wooden wedding present is the spoon
pincushion." 1t is made in this way: Two
large wooden spoons are crossed together
with fancy ribbon and hung to the wall
with fly bows; in each bowl is displayed a
silk pincushion.
Newspaper racks in wickerwork are
prettily decorated with two ribbons in con-
trasting tints, on which are painted dai-
sizes, buttercups, etc. Wider ribbons, SIM
ilarly adorned, serve for sachets, curtain
holders, ETC.

and stretched SO that they sink in the

wash them well with hot water and place
the chairs in a strong draft. This will
cause the seat TO tighten up SO effectually
that it viii he stretched quite fat when
dry. 1t may then be further stiffened

To remove mildew from white goods
dampen the spots and rub them well first
with soap and then with finely powdered
chalk; lay the goods in the sun and dampen

To prevent salt from caking in damp

of cornstaich with half a cupful Of salt for

Washington Post.
It will doubtless surprise our eastern
readers to learn that So foreign nations
and colonies have already officially sc-
cepted the invitation TO participate in the
Worlds Columbian Exposition in 1898.
These comprise II American sister re-
publics, or all but one of the total IS, and
her acceptance is expected this month,
making the three Americas solid in sup
port of the great historic commemorstion.
In Europe nearly all of the lesding ma
tions have accepted. viz: Great Britain,

mark, Spain and Turkey In Asia, China,
Japan, Persia and Siam are in line.
In brief, it is to be worlds exposition

in nearly every respect surpass al pre-
vious expositioDs.
1t will be $40 0O0, 900 exposition, for
at least that total will be expended by
the nations of the new and old worlds.
The three Americas alone have already
appropriated over SIG, 600, 600. and their
total will doubtless reach $50 000. 600
Atleast $10.000.O00 may be expected

The RspubIicsn middle.

Speaking of the congressional situation
In this district the Union says:
The chances are, as we see things now,
that Rock Island county will not have Il
candidate to present to the republican
congressional convention next summer,
wherefore it behooves the party in other
counties to put forward their strongest
men, and resolutely relegate to the rear
all men who by reason Of any action in
the past cannot be acceptable to all
classes or branches of repu blicsns. With
. candidate on whom all republicans can
unite we may fairly hope to carry the
district as republicanism ia growing
stronger every day, as the Mckinley act
vindicates itself in operstion-snd 1892
is presidential year.
The abovo is quite significant. 1t
contains friendly advice and y covert
threat. While suggesting to republicans
in other counties the desirsbility Of bring
ing out their strongest men as candidates
for the nomination, it also serves notice
that Gest and his followers will refuse to
support any republican upon whom q
suspicion of disloyalty during the last
campaign might be cast, In other words
it means that Gest must be SLOWED to
dictate the nomination, or there will be
trouble.
Regarding "republicanism growing
stronger every day, as the Mckinley act
vindicstes itself in operation it might be
we'll for the Union to await the result of
next months elections before IL speaks go

Heat from the Moon.

Popular Science News calls attention to
measurements of the heat of the moon,
made by Mr.. c. Burnham Boys by means
of his very delicate radiomicrometer. His
method was to focus the rays of the moon
on the face of the radiomicrometer by re-
fecting telescope of l6 inches aperture In
the case of a new moon, he found that the
heat coming from its disk diminished as
you passed from the convex to the con-
cave edge, and that from the dark surface
was SO slight as not to affect the apparatus
The maximum radiation of heat came from
points of the disk itself. not from its limbs
At full moon the maximum point was at
the center of the disk. The side of the
moon which had been exposed to the sun
for fourteen days was not warmer than
that which had been exposed for seven
days. No sensible heat was observed to
come from the stars.

The Dulling of Jewels.

1t is generally known, says The Jewellers
Circular, that machinery has an almost
human faculty of getting tired at times,
and it is known to men that shave that
razors must have their season of rest to de-
velop their best edges. All jewellers are
aware OF the susceptibility of precious
stones, how they will occasionally go off in
appearance. Cleaning will not help them,
while If they are sent to different at
mosphere they frequently brace up of their
own accord and come back looking bright
and lustrous. This curious fact has a
higher bearing and application than its re-
lation to physics. 1t is as true with respect
to the priceless jewel OF human health as
of any other jewel Human health needs
change of air and surroundings at GER
sain intervals. or it will fade and lose lus-
ter. The lack-luster eye of the person who
is not sick but merely run down. is the
dulling of the jewel.

Iron Paper.

1t will not perhaps be remembered, says
The Paper-Maker, that in the great exhibit
ton of 1851 a specimen of iron paper was
exhibited. Immediately a lively competi-
tion ensued among ironmasters as to the
thinness to which cold iron could be rolled.
One ironmaher rolled sheets the average
thickness of which was the 1-1S00th part of
an inch. In other words, l,So0 sheets of
this iron, piled one upon the other, would
only measure one inch in thickness. The
wonderful fineness of this work may be
more readily understood when it is remem-
bered that 200 sheets of thinnest Tissue
paper measures a fraction over an inch.
These wonderful iron sheets were perfectly
smooth and easy TO write upon notwith-
standing the fact that they were porous
when held up in a strong light.

From out a number of rather amusing

give some specimens. Nathaniel Haw

If the breadth of the face is greater than
two-thirds its length, there will be too
much vigor and energy and too little intel

face from the corners of the eyes should
divide the face into two equal halves. In
