BILLIARD BALLS OF MILK.
The Latest Novelty Of Science Is a substi-
 tutc for Bone

The Latest Novelty oT Science Is a substi-
 tutc for Bone
 Another substitute for bone, eelluloid, 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, its usefulness be- ing exhibited in the form of combs, bil- liard 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 a par tially gelatinous condition by means of borax or ammonia and then mixed with a mineral salt dissolved in acid or water, which liquid is subsequently, evapo- rated.
 The casein is placed in a suitable ves- sel and the boraX incorporated with it by heat. the proportions being ten kilo- grams of casein JO 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 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, tiE, zine, 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 natter 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 adraixture of pigments or dyes may bc of any desired color.

A case is now before the courts in Colorado which is of some importance to cattlemen.

He secured an injunction to prevent collection of tlse amount of tsx by sale and the case silI be tried

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 Der toilette, was supposed to be in the tail; the truth being, however, that both the whalebOne and the precious ambergris were to be found in the head

The Gold Cure for Drunkenness.

The fall and death Of Colonel john f.
Mines, while producing great shock on
account OF his prominence in literary
circles and as an advocate OF the Kelley
cure, as well as the gallant fight he
seemed to make against his disease, can
not affect the public appreciation OF my
discovery. except among those whose
only information on the subject
was derived from his article in the
October number Of The North Amer
lean Review. OF the 200 patients now
at Dwight under treatment, not per
cent. are there through any other agency
than their own personal knowledge OF
cures, ranging from one to ten years.
The fact that friends and neighbors have
received the Kelley treatment and Sc
cured, as far as human knowledge can
estimate, permanent and lasting cures Is
the convincing argument, The Kelley
cure has advanced slowly, without
advertisement except that OF cured men,
from one patient, twelve years ago. till
now the average attendance is as above.
About the beginning of the present year
the Chicago Tribune, after thorough
investigation. opened its columns to
ex patients for the relation Of their per
sonal experiences, and thus succeeded Ia
attracting the attention Of the literary
world and placing information as to the
cure and the institution In the minds OF
the reading public The Information,
taken advantage Of, has now placed
cured men in almost every city, town,
and hamlet In the IInited States, as well
as many foreign countries The indubit.
able evidences Of these cures remain and
will always be monuments Of my discov'
ery, making the keeley institutes the
Meccas Of the liquor and opium habitues.

The remarkable success OF the horse
show, and the peculiar Circumstance
that is has become one of the great social
events Of the season In New York. have
astonished some of the gnappreciAtive
ones who have no admIration for one Of
the uobiest works OF the Creator.
la ali ages, even from the earliest an
Gent times, the horse has typified
strength. courage and endurance He
has been msgnified into the highest form
Of brute intelligence.
He has been the subject OF the poet.
Of the novelist and the best descriptive
writer. Shakespeare must have loved q
horse, for he wrote with all the power
of his dramatic pen In admiration Of that
animal
We are told that IAN horse il q vain
thing Tor safety" jeremiah describing
the unrepentant, says; Every one
turned TO his course as the horse rusAsth
headlong Ia the battle" IechaIiah has
several sllusions TO the horse One of
his most singular is found Ia the verse.
In that day saith the Lord will smite
every horse with astonishnent and his
rider with madness And again he tells
of "a man riding Oh red horse. and
behind him were there red horses,
speckled and white T" We even find in
First Kings the price Of the fayorite
turnout complete in the verse which
says And the chariot came up and
went out Of Egypt for 900 shekels Of sill
yer and a horse for l50"-or less than
800 for the animal. Good prices for
those times.
The finest description of the horse
found 10 the English or any other Ian
guage is that in Job, az follows:
Hast thou given the horse his might:
HAST thou clothed his neck with the
quigering name: Hast thou made him
leap az a locustS The glory OF his snort
ing ia terrible.
"He paweth 10 the valley and rejoiceth
In his strength. He goeth out to meet
the armed men.
HE mocketh at fear and is not dis.
mayed. Neither turneth he back from
the sword.
The CULVER rattleth against him, the
flashing spear and the iavelin.
He swalloweth the ground with fierce
ness and rage; neither believeth he that
It ia the voice of the trumpet
"As Oft as the trumpet soundeth he
saith, Aha, And he smelleth the battle
altar Off, the thunder Of the captains and
the shouting"
There is abundant reason, it will be
seen, for the enthusiasm which the
great horse show has aroused.

Amid the somewhat speculative state
ments of the foreign correspondents"
upon the actual condition OF the grain
famine in Russia, that Of the Official Mes
sepger Of st. Petersburg may be re-
garded a. the more reliable authority.
This Is TO the eif.ct-as quoted by the
Philadelphia Public Record-that Rus
sia's stock Of grain will not answer the
wants Of the people until harvest comes
again. Reports which appear to be
wholly trustworthy state that the fam
inc district includes third of Russian
territory, and that from 20000.000 to
80 900 coo Of the population feel, TO a
greater or lesser degree. its effects. The
ukase OF prohibition, while. affording
relief to the peasants. will fall heavily
upon the farmers, who will be obliged
to sell their. wheat in market from
which competition is excluded. The
cutting of of the foreign demand leaves
the Russian farmer no market save his
own, and the poverty of the country will
render low prices inevitable.
