BILLIARD BALLS OF MILK.
The Latest Novelty of Science Is Substi-
 tutc for Bone.

The Latest Novelty of Science Is g Substi-
 tutc for Bone.
 Another substitute for bone, celluloid, etc., in some of the industrial arts has been brought to public attention, says the New York Sun, the substance in this case being milk, it's usefulness be- ing exhibited in the form of combs, bill Hard 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 par italy gelatinous condition by means of borax or ammonia and then mixed with amineral salt dissolved in acid or water, which liquid is subsequently evapo- rated.
 The casein is placed in suitable ves- sel and the boraX incorporated with it by heat, the proportions being ten kilo- grams of casein to three of boraX, dis solved in six liters 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 gelatine, 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 thc solid matter IS tounu 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 evaporate under great heat to remove any remai1ing moisture. The resulting products, called 'lactites," can be nodded into any form, and by adinixturc of pigments or dyes may be of any desired color.

J. V. Vickers and c. +. Staunton each received letter from Ed. Kear- ney of San Francisco who was former ly well known here, giving additional particulars of the accident to M. T. Williams. The letter to MT. Vickers is as follows.
 Our mutual friend, M. T. Williams, of the Tombstone Mill and Mining Go, requests me to write you and hopes to hear from you at an early date. MT.

His left side received the full force of the fall scalp on left side for several inch- es torn from the skull, requiring about fifteen stitches to bring it together i; left sh o1lder dislocated and left arm badly broken 4 inches from shoulder His whole left side is terribly injured and of course be is naturally suffering much pain.

 You will hear about him as the case develops. Write to him in any case.

Royal Fish.

Throughout the British dominions whale and sturgeon are royal fish, and those cast ashore belong to the crown, In old times the rule was that the king should have the head of the whale and the queen the tail, because the whale- bone, which was useful in her toilette was supposed to be in the tail; the truth being, however, that both the whclcbonc and the precious ambergris were to be found in the head.

IOW.NECK CLANS,
A Wisconsin Man Who Was Out of His
 Element.

WiscOns1n Man Who Was Out Of HI
 Element.
 It would be hard to say which "fun ny man" likes best, listener to whom all his jokes are new and "side-split' ting" or one of those dull souls who take everything seriously. An ex-gov. ernor of Wisconsin, famous as story teller, is reported by the Chicago Trib. une as having related an anecdote o1 his own experience with a man of the latter class. The governor was at a clam bake in New Jersey and after din ner was called upon for speech.
 I started off by saying that I had eaten so many of their low-neck clans that wasn't in the least sort of condi tion for speech-maising. At that mo ment long-faced old man directly across the table scowled at me and said in a stage whisper:
 "Littlc-neck clans, Httb necks-not low-necks."
 l paid no attention to him and went on with my remarks. After dinner he followed me out of the hall.
 You are from Wisconsin. ain't you? le asked.
 "Yes," answered.
 ''You don't have any clans out there, 1 reckon?"
 We'll" said I, "we have some, but Us good way to water, and in driving them across the country their feet get sore and they don't thrive very we'll"
 He gave me look That was worth a dollar and half.
 ''Why, man aliver' said he, "clams ain't got no feet"
 He turned away and shortly after ward approached one of my friends.
 'Is that fellow governor of Wiscon. sin?" he inquired.
 "Yes."
 "W-a-l-l," said he, ''he may be a smart man in Wisconsin but he's good deal of a fool at the seushore."

 DoNT hang to theories that hang fire at every fact.
 Ds'T try to settle the problems of life when you have the blues.

 DoN'T always be trying to explain. The majority of your mistakes are nev- CT noticed inless you call attention to them in this way.
 DoNT imagine you are insulted when people neglect you. The most of them are so wrapped up in their own affairs that they do not think of you at ali.- Home.

Hints for Next Christmas.

Don't ask your child what he wants
unless you intend to give it to him.
Though money makes the mare 60,
it makes Santa Claus come.
Don't buy your best girl a present
on the installment plan, as she might
jill you before you had made all the
payments.
Rub the price mark off the present
unless it is an expensive one.
II you wish to surprise your girl,
never ask her what she would like for
Christmas.
When you have tho Christmas tree
up it doesn't mean that you have it
fixed up.
Some persons never wish you a
merry Christmas unless they think
they will get something for doing so.
Santa Claus would never make a
good schoolmaster. Whatever is good
he puts at the foot-of the stocking.
The bachelor who puts his thumb
into the boarding house pie is apt to
pull out collar button.

TaE DIVINE SARAH lNyuL1ED.

THE DIVINE SARAH lNSULTED.
The Chistmas edition of the Salt
Lake Tribune consists Of 81 pages.
While superior as literary produo-
ton to those that have preceded il, il
falls below the standard of holiday
publications in that it gives no space
TO the relation of the progress Of its
community during the year.
Several pages are devoted TO church
work, which is proper. Christmas be-
ing, above all else, a religious feast.
1t is possible that tho New Year edi-
ton may make up for what is lacking
in this number. by supplying the data
from which an opinion may be formed
OF the rapid rate OF development Of
the great inter-mountain metropolis.
Al above stated tho paper is lit.
erary production Of . high order.
"Cherriten's Chick. by the author Of
"Helen's Babies" "Nora," "rhe
Crotto aud the Enchs nttr," by Car.
men Sylvia. . "real" queen, though
morally rotten to hearts core, Frank

meritorious. But there are bic mishes
even in this department. Sam. Davis's
"Christmas Curse" is what newspaper
men will call mere rot, and "A Christ.
mas Repentance" by Sarah Bern
hardt, is not much better. Besides,
the French text, which is published
side by side with the alleged transla.
ton, is SO faulty as to be utterly un.
iatelligible.
Any scholar Of French knows how
impossible it is for one not skille
in the use OF accents to make himse
understood when attempting to speak
or write it. Well, in this story there
10 not single circumAex accent nor
a diarrhesis, and the grave is generally
used where an acute should be. OF
correct photography there is none. and
the punctuation is the worst that we
have ever seen. In six inches Of the
stuff we reckoned over 200 errors, or
an average OF four to the line, and
then stopped from sheer disgust.
The productions Of the crotic and
cratic whether in the form If
marble busts, plaster casts, or can
vases. or as impersonstions on the
histrionio bosrds-are usually lnter>
esting; but they must be au naturel,
and not butchered in such a way as
this story of hers has been by the
blaoksmiths Of the Tribune. And know
ing the divine Sarah's reputation, we
warn the responsible editor of that
paper against taking such libe rites
with her, convince. d that il be sins
again in this outrageous manner some
one else will have to be secured to
write those delig htful obituaries for
which the Tribune Is famous. a. the
young swordsman who divides his
time between love.mak,ng and de.
Tending the conduct of she whom he
and truthfully refers to as
!" Mademoiselle, my mother" becomes
quite ferocious when such sights a.
these are brough. to his notice, and
