Another substitute for bone. cclluloid,

been brought to public attention says
the New York sun. the substance in
this ease being milk. its usefulness be-
ing exhibited III the form of combs, bill
lard balls. brush backs, knife hand .es
and various other articles for which
ivory. bone or cclluloid are employed.
In omplishing this casein, or the
solids in milk, Is first reduced 10 a par
tially gelatinous condition by means of
boraX or ammonia and then mixed with
Z. mineral salt dissolved in acid or water,
which liquid is subsequently evapo-
rated.
The casein is placed in a suitable ves
sci and the boraX incorporated with IL
by heat. the proportions being ten k.io-
grains of cascin 10 three of boraX, dis
solved in six liters of water, and, on ne
casein becoming changed in appe ,r-
ance. the water is drawn off, and TO : .e
residue, while still of the consistency If
melted gclatine, there Is added one J.
ogram of mineral salt held in solutl IN
OF three liters of water. Almost any Of
the salts of iron. lead. tin, zinc, COPPER
OF other minerals, soluble in acid, n ay
he used. On the mixture being effect ID
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 evaporate 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.

Marketed in the Form of Bricks and Log,
by the Natives.
The cost OF common tea is about
three cents per pound. The cost o
manufacture, export duty. packing
.tc., about double the price. so that the
cost on board ship amounts to abou-
i've and . half cents per pound About
three hundred pounds or four hundred
pounds of brick tea go to basket
made OF light bamboo. Two basket,
form Il camel load. Brick tea Is in
bulk about one-siXth of ordinary tea.
In Mongolia, says the New York
Ledger. where the nomad population
of hcrdsmen have little use for money,
their tents, clothing, food and temples
being supplied by their fiocl1s, brick
tea forms standard of value and a
convenient medium of exchange, as it
is in universal demand for food. \
brick or half a brick of tea Is placed in
a copper vessel and boiled up with
mutton fat and butter, and the food is
eaten hot in liquid condition. Lately
n now commodity has come on the
Hankow market to which the customs
give the name of log tea. 1t is an
inferior tea, with stalks, packed
in the shape OF logs, which weigh from
eight pounds to eighty pounds each
log. The tea is wrapped in the leaves
of the bambusa latifolia and then re-
duced in bulk by binding round the
log with lengths of split bamboo. This
log tea is sent TO the Chinese ports for
consumption and is packed thus from
motives OF economy, both of packing

The bill of mosquito is a complex
institution. 1t has Il blunt fork at the
head and is apparently grooved Work
ing through the groove AID projecting
from the angle of the fork is a lance OF
perfect form, sharpened with fine
bevel Beside it the most perfect lance
looks like hand-saw. On other side OF
the lance two saws are arranged, with
the points fine and sharp and the teeth
well refined and keen. The backs OF
these saws play against the lance.
When the mosquito aliEhts with its
peculiar hum, its thrusts its keen lance
and then enlarges TIE aperture with the
two saws. which play beside the lanee
until the forIkea bill wlth It's capillary

what CRATES upon the nerves of the vic
