The fact is we'll known that for a
long time buttons and various other ar
ticles, for which bone is generally used,
have been made from CONCEALED blood
purchased at the slaughter houses the
blood being treated with some SUBJ
stance that hardens It to the required
consistency. The same articles, 1t ap-
pears, arc now made from milk, by
process invented by an Englishman--
name and location not mentioned
material used being ordinary skim
milk. The process OF turning this II,
quid into buttons, pool balls, combs.
backs of hair brushes and similar ar
ticles, consists In mixing It with sub
stance the Ingredients of which are
known only BY the inventor, and then
COMPRISING 1t; at the end Of three days
the substance Is as solid as celluloid,
and ready to be cut and shaped In any
way the manufacturer desires. But
tons are among the chief articles into
which this peculiar material Is fash
Toned, and they differ very llttle in ap-
pearance from ordinary bone buttons
and, though Of creamy white, can be
colored black or red, or any other tint
desired, by simply mixing the coloring
matter with the milk before the harden
ing process begins; they are said to
possess advantages over those made Of
bone or celluloid in being less brittle
and less liable to chip For the pro-
duction Of combs the milk substance 10
remarked as being especially we'll
adapted, as 1t Is smooth and delicate to
the touch, and derives from its creamy
origin a glossy surface.

work OF enc Honey neea.

To secure a pound Of honey, which is
equivalent to something like 5000 cells,
would take bee several years, In fine
weather the bee makes calls upon nifty
to eighty flowers in days outings.
During this time 1t collects what Is
equivalent to grain of nectar, which
is thin syrup and has to be evaporated
to make honey. The bee, after work
Ing all day, spends the greater part Of
the night tanning the nectar with its
wings to evaporate the surplus water.
In this way 1t shortens its life by wear
ing out Its wings. Langstroth says that
bee at the height Of the working sea-
son lives about three working weeks
and then dies. Bees frequently perish
on the way home, because their wings
are SO shattered and splintered that
they refuse to support the body. II a
disabled bee reaches the hive alive 1t

nurse, housekeeper and in general utlli-
ty work, A good and fertile queen bee

Friction and Power.

A detailed account has been given to
the public by Prof. 9. H. Benjamin Of
the Case School Of Applied Science at
Cleveland. o., of his recent experiments
in determining the loss Of power
through friction in the transmission by
belts and shafting. These observations
were made in sixteen factories each en-
gagged in a different kind Of work. He
records the most startling loss to have
been found in bridge material factory,
where the shops were spread over lot
of ground, so per cent, Of the engines
power was lost in the shafting there
In planning mill the loss was 70 per
cent, and in a sewing machine factory
1t was nearly 10 per cent; 1t was n per
cent In a stamping mill and e5 PEE cent
in boiler and machine works. The
average loss for heavy machine shops
was little In excess of So per cent;
the average for light machine work was
about IS per cent.

1t is proposed to do, the surveys have
already been made and the work will
probably be undertaken next summer
What it is planned to do with the wa
tiers of the Grande has already been
done with the waters Of the Laramie
river, which have been taken across
the watershed of the Medicine Bow
range and turned into Chambers lake,
from which they pass down to the
arabic lands of the Poudre valley. This
enterprise is in the same general dis
trict as the one now proposed, and
serves as a model. The head waters
of that branch Of the Laramie which
have been diverted come very near
having their rise in glacier. They
start in canyon so deep, so shaded,
and located at such an altitude, that
the SHOWS of one winter are hardly
melted out before those Of another
come. From the ridges on both sides
the winds sweep the SHOWS into this
narrow gorge until they lie 200 feet
deep or more. Solidihed by pressure
and partial thawlng, the mass Of snow
becomes a mass Of ice, and the sun has
an all summers work before him to
convert that ice mass into water.
Water from such source is particular
ly valuable because it is what they call
"late water" 1t comes at time OF the
year when many of the lowlands
streams are dry, and yet when water is
still needed to mature the crops. A
flow of one cubic foot per second
through the entire season Is worth not
less than $1,000, and as this branch OF
the Laramie often runs $50 cubic feet
per second at the time when water Is
most in demand, 1t will be seen that
the flow was we'll worth capturing. To
abduct the Laramie at this point re-
Quired ditch five miles long, circllng
about the two sides OF the Medicine
Bow range, which it crosses at altitude
Of $500. For three-ffths Ut the dis
lance the side hill along which the
ditch was led was so nearly vertical
that the material excavated could not
be held to form the lower bank of the

Climbing High Attitudes.

All persons who have climbed great
heights are aware that respiration be-
comes more or less difficult, the heart
beats either very irregularly or with
great rapidly, and nausea, exhaustion
and other unpleasant sensations are ex-
perlenced. Just what is the highest
limit to which man can ascend and live
has frequently been questioned. A scl-
enlist reached $4,000 feet above sea lew
Ell without great trouble. The idea sug-
gested itself-could he not create a
rarefed atmosphere by o mechanical
processH He prepared very large
pneumatic air chamber and rugged 1t
with all the necessary appliances. He
shut himself in, when the air was rare
fed to degree which would probably
be found at the height Of $4,000 feet
above sea level, then he became so dis
tressed that the experiment had to
stop. As Mt. Everest is a mile higher
than this simulated altitude, we may
naturally conclude that unless there are
means for providing for assisting res
piration, feet will never tread the
height on this globe.

ditch without crib work. In surveying
the route tho ordinary clinometers had
to be discarded, and the common sur
veyor's loving rod" had to be extend
cd to an instrument thirty feet high.
The way was 80 broken and difficult
and the timber in places 80 dense that
It often made there, as 1t has since on
the Grande, very hard days work
for two men to chain half a mile. Along
some Of the line the forest ia so dense
that no good picture of the works can
be obtained by ordinary solar photog-
raphy, and at places the incline Is so
steep that the man with camera can
find no place to stand while taking his
view.
The altitude ia a great difficulty to be
encountered In the prosecution of such
q piece Of work. A large number OF
men can not do heavy work at that al
titude at all. Any one with heart
trouble Ia barred to begin with. The
strongest OF the men can not do more
than half work at such an elevation,
During the two years and more that
the work was in progress the company
was sending in constant stream Of
men who were as constantly leaving
with or without notice A large num-
Der were physically unable to endure
the work, but even those who did not
get positively sick became homesick,
With good wages, good board, and
short hours Of work they would get to
brooding on their situation, to worry
Ing about their families to fanoying
sickness when they did not have 1t, be-
came sleepless, and rather than wait
for the end Of the season and be hauled
down comfortably in the company's
wagons they would fold their blankets
and kits and silently steal away on the
seventy-tve mile tramp to civilization.
Two devices used for the protection
OF the canal deserve notice. One is to
keep 1t from stopping over. A little
spill on the lower side might speedily
wash a gully that would not only empty
the canal, but might soon be so much
OF canyon that 1t would give a new
engineering problem to get across IL.
Where the incline is so nearly perpen-
dicular no chance of break must be
left. Accordingly an automatic spill
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1897-06-03

way is provided, SO that when the
water reaches a certain height in the
ditch the rise Of the water alone raises
a water gate and the surplus goes ca
reening down channel prepared for It..
The second device referred to is that
whereby stream crossing the path Of
the ditch is led harmlessly over 1t, but
contributes water In so far as such con-
tribution Is needed. The method adopt
ed was to lead the stream over the
ditch. The ditch follows the side of the
ravine until itaintersects the water
course. Then fluming Is pushed back
to bedrock in the streams course, and
1t is made to jump the ditch. Right
over the ditch is placed grating Of
heavy timbers so inclined that rocks
and driftwood do not lodge, but are
washed over without resistance, while
the water flows through the grating
into the ditch. This lands the debris
far down the mountain side, but saves
the precious water, or so much Of 1t as
the canal is able to carry at a given
time.
When, after more than two years Oh
work, the canal was finished in 1894, it
was found to deliver into Chambers
lake a constant flow of water of 1872
cubic feet per second. The value Of
this water was so great that the canal
paid for itself the first season after its
completion.

oman Of the rIve.oent shave.


It ia said that the 5-cent shave idea
was started by a commercial traveller
rushing into a New York barber shoT
and calling for railroad" shave, says
the Midland mechanic. The surprised
barber asked him what that was, and
was told 1t was "a shave up one side
down the other and across the chin IN
three motions, minus bay rum and
conversation"
In exactly one and one-half minutes
the Job was done and the traveller
bleeding some, dropped a dime on the
desk and seized his grip. The barber
gave him back a nickel, observing tha'
honesty was the best policy" An ap'
prentice was "fired" that day from the
shop for total incompetency, and al
once started a tonsorial foundry, where
you got a railroad" shave with nc
talk for cents-bay rum extra. Ihis
was the beginning Of the scent slaugh-
ter pen.

known on this subject. OF course
the processes are as yet a
secret, but cannot long remain so, as
30 many photographers are seeking for
them: "a negative is taken on an
ordinary gelatlne plate which has been
prepared by treatment with solu-
ton, the ingredients Of which are UNI
known. The negative thus obtained
shows no trace Of color, and appears

taken on ordinary albuAenized silver
paper, which has been treated with the
before mentioned solution; or, II q
transparency Is desired, on a gelatine
plate prepared in the same manner as
that which was used for the negative.
This print shows no trace Of color
either by reflected or transmitted light.
The print when dry Is washed over
with the solution, and Is afterward
treated successfully with three colored
'sOlutions--blue, green and red-the
operation being conducted In bright
light. AS the solutions are applied the

It is time for new reformation.
There is crying demand for a little old
fashioned honesty as to wages. 1t is
no more respectable to steal labor than
to steal money. Sooner or later this
truth will be recognized, and then Will

That the eagle has most wonderful
power Of vision Is shown from the
fact that 1t files In almost straight
line for any object which 1t desires

this far-sightedness. Long before hu.

Is fxed on distance, and their cries Of

The brightest glare OF sunlight does

An Important discovery.


DR.. Koch, whose name Is familiar to
all intelligent people as an eminent
bacteriologist, has been studying the
cattle plague In Africa, and announces
the discovery Of a new serum which
will, he confidently hopes, be effective
In diminishing the mortality among
the cattle Of that section. The rinder-
pest has played such havoc In South
Africa that this Is most welcome bit
OF news. The doctor does not as yet
authorize the statement that he will
be able to prevent animals from being
infected with this disease, He has
discovered that dogs, monkeys and ro-
dents will not contract the disease,
sheep and horned cattle being It's chos-
en- victims.

has been done. There, along the great
continental divide, all waters on the
western slope naturally find their out
let into the Gulf of California, and
those on the eastern slope reach the
Gulf of Mexico via the South Platte, the
Platte, the Missouri, and the Mississip-
pi. But on the western side there Is
an abundance OF water and scarcity
OF arabic land, while on the eastern
side good land is abundant, while the
supply Of water is insufficient. The
latest project is to turn the upper
waters Of the Grande across the water
shed, and along the slopes extending
east. The crest Of the continental d.
vide rises into peaks $4,000 feet high
and descends into passes as low as TO-
600 feet. 1t thus happens that, while
some Of the tributaries Of the Grande
have their rise at the elevation Of 1900
feet or more, the Lulu pass on the con-
tinental divide is only 10000 feet above
sea level. 1t is thus clear that II the
river can be tapped at any elevation

Lulu pass the waters can be led craft
