HOW FOOTBALLS ARE MADE.
Pressed from a Gun Cotton Mixture. Cut
In n Lathe and Dyed.

Pressed from q Gun Cotton Mixture, Cut
In a Lathe and Dyed.
"Celluloid has altogether superseded
ivory as material for poolballs," said a
manufacturer. "a set of sixteen cellu-
loid balls will outwear three or four sets
of ivory and they cost only twenty-five
dollars, whereas you cannot buy six
teen good ivory balls for less than
$l15. The condition Of the atmosphere
which causes the ivory balls TO shrink
and swell and crack just as if they were
made of wood has no effect upon cellu-
loid
''Of course you know that celluloid is
q mixture of gun cotton and camphor
Naturally it would be yellow. but zinc
white is put in to make it white. After
the ingredients have been properly
mingled with the aid of steam heat the
celluloid is pressed into blocks. which
are little bigger than the balls that
are TO be made. In order to render
them as hard rs possible the material is
subjected to a pressure of 300 tons on
each ball. Next the blocks. are turned
in lathe to perfect spheres of precisely
the diameter required by means of knives
which work automatically and cannot
cut beyond certain distance from the
center of each ball.
when this has been done the perfect
spheres of celluloid are ready To be dyed
in various colors. For this purpose they
are dipped and allowed to remain for
some time in pots containing the dyes,
those parts which are not desired to be
colored being protected by means of lit
tie cups of brass ingeniously fastened
upon the balls. In the plain balls of
red, blue, green, purple and yellow only
the round spot where the number is to
20 needs to be covered. but i'll the treat
ment Of the striped balls the matter is
not so easy. After they have been fished
ont of the pots the dyed balls are put on
lathe and made TO revolve rapidly,
while fine sandpaper is delicately ap-
piled so as to smooth their surfaces
Then keen knife. manipulated by
hand, removes from them the thinnest
conceivable shaving all over, which
does not take off the color, because the
dyes penetrate to little depth. Finally
sandpaper is again applied and the balls
are ready for the last process to which
they must be subjected.
This last process is the vanishing.
They are placed for this purpose in little
wire cups, which come into contact with
them at as few points as possible, and a
transparent lacquer is bestowed upon
them by hand with brush. As soon as
they are dry they are ready to be packed
and sent to the retailer When they are
newly finished they are quite as pretty
to look at as any ivory pool balls that
ever were made. When are the num-
bers put on, You ask: Oh. they are cut
very quickly with dies before the balls
go into the dye pots. and little plum
bago is rubbed into them to make them
black. No it would not be possible for
a celluloid ball like one of these to ex-
plode: nor could it be made to burn, in
asmuch as its density is too great. How
ever. if You We're to- cut il up into chips
it would go off at II pretty lively rate
upon being ignited. ."-Washington Star

OIL Spring, Long since Abandoned.

Before the year 1900 oil springs Were
known To exist along the valley of Oil
creek. Tie Indians of that section used
the oil for medicinal and other purposes.
Remains of wells ana pits are to be
found in that vicinity. Some of these
have been cribbed, the timber showing
the marks of edged tools. and are sunk
to the depth of twenty feet or more. In
these pits and wells, which are now
nearly all filled up. trees over several
hundred years old have been discovered
growing. The Indians do not know who
dug these wells, and the presumption is
that they We're dug by prehistoric
race.-Interview in Chicago Tribune.

The Bilou.


Circus comedies are all the rage this
season. Following "The Still Alarm at
the Bijou and commencing with matt
nee Sunday Oct. 9th is announced the
appearance of the popular comedi me,
Miss Nellie McHenry, in her new farcical
creation, entitled "A Night at the CIR
GUS" H. Grattan DonnelIy, comedy
writer OF considerable prominence, is re-
sponsible for this farce. A circus play
offers host of opportunities for funny
business and the author is said to have
largely recognized this fact, in the con-
struction of this skit. The story is one
of amusing interest and relates as follows:
Mile. Electra, circus performer, and
Nile. Milan, governess are sisters. Mile.
Milan has charge of three yonng ladies
in the family OF one Nicholas Frisk, a
lawyer in partnership with Archibald
Bangor. The latter are hen pecked hus-
bands, but are inclined to be men Of the
town. Mile. Electra, the queen of the
arena, quarrels with her manager, who in
order to have her keep her contract,
tries to have her arrested. She engages
Frisk and Bangor to defend her. Both
lawyers promptly fall in love with her.
Bangor for the moment carries her off.
The governess comes in and while Frjsk
Is trying to fascinate her, the wives Of
both men enter. The business of ex-
planning matters is extremely ludicrous.
The musical and speciality portion Of the
entertainment promises host of novel;
ties. AS a comedy entertainment "a
Night at the Circus is the leader of
them all.

The members of the Humane Society
ut their monthly meeting Tuesday after
noon, took up the question of the recent
exhibition of children's dancing at the
Exposition. They condemned the prac.
tice of allowing such performances in
public, claiming that they have an inn
moral effect and an undue influence
upon the children who take part. The
society also discussed the inhuman
methods of killing cattle, practiced by
the butchers Of Golden Valley. In the
case of John Kelly, who lives with very
poor parents in North Minneapolis, Mr..
Tatro was instructed to ascertain the
cost of small wagon, which, If practic
able, will be purchased by the society
for the use of the boy. 1t was voted TO
give money from the general fund for
Mr.. Tatro to attend the national con-
vention OF the Humane Societies, at
Philadelphia, Oct. 1928.
Mr.. Loren Fletcher, the Republican
candidate tor Congress has no war record
Last Thursday evening he explained
with tears in his eyes and trembling
voice why he remained at home during
the war instead of shouldering 1nusket
to preserve the Union and free the slaves
He had just started in business, had Dor
rowed and begged all the money he
could, and had bought in Boston all the
goods he could get on credit. He wanted
to 90 to the war, but he could not afford
it. He would have been willing to sacri-
fee all tho money Of his own that he had
in his business venture, but he couldn't
bear the thought of losing the money he
had borrowed and the goods he had
bought on credit IN Boston, SO he stayed
at home and kept store, saved his money,
his friends money, his stock, and made
plenty of money besides, incidentally
keeping an eye open to see that the wild
ows and orphans were cared for. OF
course, he wished success to the Federal
troops and cheered the boys OF Mime
apoIis who went to the war, but he could
not afford to risk his own valuable life at
the time.

A Serious Question.
the Editor of The Irish Standard.

To the Editor of The Irish Standard.
The A. P. A. is working for all it is
worth and bigotry is the order of the day.
But the Golightly class do little good or
harm to any party. However, the serious
question is, what is the matter with our
Republican newspaper men? They have
all at once become violently infamed
with the lowest bigotry. The Minneapo-
lis Tribune publishes articles of which an
Ulster Orangeman would be ashamed,
and the Evening Journal is filed with
low insinuations against everything like
what the polite editor calls 'Romanism. =
Does ex-senator Pierce have to under
take this labor to gain his ends? Must
educated men stoop to mean malignity
and pander to the ignorant desires OF
bigots to keep up the circulation? can
understand how it is that parsons badly
off for sermon should strike frequently

Sullivan Says He Was Not Dragged.

The intimatlon that Sullivan was
drugged on the night of his fight with
Jim Corbet5 at New Orleans, which was
generally supposed to have come from
the ex~champion's own lips, emanated
from another source, so says John l..
A New York World reporter saw the
big Boston pugilist Wednesday and he
had this to say: "After Corbett defeated
me at New Orleans T made no excuses.
As have said, the man who makes ex-
cuses is very foolish. After l returned
north nobody has heard me offer any
explanations of nay defeat other than L
had gone into the ring once too often.
As far rs the story of my being drugged
is concerned, never intimated that such
thing had happened. l never before
was in better condition than on that oc-
casion. It is not my intention to take
one bit Of credit away from Mr.. Corbett."
"What shall do in thefuture is my own
affair."" he added. II am making consid-
cradle money now, and if choose to
fight again / will back myself. I don't
say that I will challenge him again, still
if take notion to I don't see how any
one can find fault with me-"
Prof. Jim Connors, of the Buffalo Ath-
letic Club, has compiled unique table
Of the blows giysn and received in the
recent battles at New Orleans between
Corbett and Sullivan and McAuliffe and
Meyer. Prof. John Duffy, the famous
referee, does not think the table accu-
rate. According to the table, Corbett
was hit total Of IS times, Sullivan 1888;
McAuliffs 50 times and Meyer 1l9 times,
and that it took 143 head and As body
blows to knock Sullivan out. Corbett
must have swung blows on the big fell
low, for the latter was pounded q times
in the last round, only four of which
we're on the body. In the seventh round
Corbett delivered only three hits, which
is accounted for by the fact that III the
preceding round Sullivan delivered his
first powerful right hand blow, which
staggered Corbett and made him eau
tious. In the fifth. the champion began
the smuggling by banging Sullivan Il
times in the mug, drawing first blood. 1t
is shown that Meyer took considerable
punishment before succumbing to Nc
Aulife.
