MAKING CELLULOIp.

The Chemical Constitution II . Mat
g.; ter OF Doubt.
Though the chemical constitution Of
ceIuloid - d matter OF doubt, the art
OF manufacturing this peculiar modern
product Is explained in d few wordn-
aa article made by the combined action
OF pressure and heat, OF with the aid of
solvents, in that case in the cold; says
the Trade Journals Review. The cam
phor il dissolved in alcohol, as little as
possible, and the solution sprayed
through a rose on to the pyroxyline,
the latter perfectly dry, a second layer
of pyroxyline being then added, mois-
tened again with camphor solution,
and 50 on; the gelatinous lump is
worked between iron rollers, to which
it adheres, and the layer is slit longti-
tudinally and rolled again.
The cakes, O.4-inch thick, are cut
into plates, about two feet by one foot,
and pass for "a hours into hydraulic
presses, which are doubly steam jack
eted- The mass,'is now sawed into
plates, which are dried at about a5 de-
grsee Fahrenheit for q, week or two,
and finally cut into smaller pieces, from
which the articles are stamped.
Further, according to a writer in the
GumfrI Zeitung, the method pursued
s believed to consist Tin pouring 100
parts OF either on 60 OF eollodion wool
and Is OF. eamphoT, the eoveredcmass
being then stirred in earthenware YES
selsr with rubber 'Rticks until a homo
geneous gelatinous mass is obtained,
and then rolled. Apart from dyestuff
ana other additions, the average cellu-
loid consists Of two.thirds pyroxyline
and onethird camphor. !-.- :

MURDERS IN GEORGIA
SAM PARKER SHOT IN COLD BLOOD
ON HIS WAY TO CHURCH.
Negro Murderer and Raper Caught by
"a Sheriff's Posse and Strung Up by
Mob of Macon Citizens.

VALDOSTA. Ga, Sept. 12.-The story of
citizen of Cecil, at Hahria, this morning,
by Shelton Dampier, shows it to have been
one of the blacklist crimes that has ever
stained the criminal annals of this county.
The story received here is to the effect
that Parker was on his way to church and
had stopped on the streets to talk to some
men, Dampier being in the crowd. After
a few minutes conversation the crowd be-
gan to break up and Parker, Dampier and
the town marshal were left alone. Dampier
drew his pistol at this juncture and put
ting 1t against the bosom of Parker fired
one shot. The ball passed through Park
ers heart and he sank to the ground with
out word, dying instantly. Turning to the
marshal, Dampier waved his pistol in his
face and defied him, threatening to kill
him if he moved. The desperate then turned
were sent to this city after dogs with winch
TO trace the murderer, but they could not
be sent, as the sheriff of Brooks county had
them tracing a fugitive there. Every eff
Tort Will me made, however, to capture
Dampier
The cause of the tragedy is said to date
back three years, when Dampier was con-
Vlcted and sent TO the chain gang. He
sWore vengeance at this time declaring that
ne would Kill Parker on sight it he was re-
leased or when his term expired. His SEN
tence expired six or seven months ago. To-
day was the first time that he and Parker
have met since. Parker was known as a
pefceable citizen and leaves a wife and
seven or eight children to mourn his tragic
death. Dampier was young man of rather
unSdVOrY reputation.

are of 70 use nowadays. They are rat Their
helpfuI to the enemy. They are part or
the old romance of war shattered all to
pieces by modern guns. In the olden days
1t was the custom for the valiant warriors
to deck themselves out as conSpicuously as
possible; but the modern tendency is to do
away with everything which tends to make
a target of the man. The desire of gen.
erals to proclaim themselves the most val
liant by the invitation to the enemy which
they gave in their attire extended to quite
modern times. The revolution in all this
has been very rapid. Skobeloff, the great
Russian general, had all his cavalry mount
ed on black horses and dressed in black uni
forms, while he himself was attired In
white and mounted on a white charger. He
always rode at the head OF his troops, and
though he participated in fOrty.seven bat
ties in the Russo-Turkish war, he was
never once wounded, his destiny being to
expire miserably in cafe In Paris But
the modern warfare offers no incentive to
such display of valor. When man could
ride up 10 the enemy and engage them at
close quarters the desire of the brave to
impress their individuality upon their op-
ponents was natural In modern warfare
there is no opportunity for obtaining glory
in this way. A general who would in these
days attire himself in such contrast to his
troops as did SkObeloff would be blown to
pieces probably by a gunner who was too
far away to be seen. There would be moth
ing very glorious in such a death as that.
A man might just as well be killed in a
mine except for the fact that he died for
his country. The dramatic element in war
fare has disappeared; the scientific has
taken its place. 1t Is hard to realize this to
the full extent, for the reason that since
the revolution in firearms there has been
no great war. Colors are a part of the old
romance of war. Sentiment is entwined
about them. and 1t is hard to put them
away, but it will have to be done. The sol
der of the future must have a deep-seated
patriotism; a patriotism which will be suf-
fieient unto itself. There will be nothing
glorious in warfare, It VIII be sacrifice,
tle--for there will, OF course, be heroes as
long as battles are fought-will not be the
at the head of his troops, but the strategic
who obtains the advantage of situation"

NO COACHER AT DE PAW
TEAM is TIRED OF PUTTING UP $50 A

College News.
Special to the indianapolis Journar.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
GREENCASTLE, Ind, Sept 12.-With the
arrival of every student, new and old, of
De PAW University the interest in football
increases. Captain Frank Roller who for
the past three or four years has been the
mainstay of the De PAW team, has arrived
and is already at work. This is Captain
Rollers senior year, and it is altogether
probable that he will not go into the game
as an active participant. This, he claims,
he cannot do and keep up the hard work
of the senior Year. The enthusiasts are hop
ing, however, that Roller will get into the
game and assist in, making up the center
wall of the team. He will probably do
the coaching, and if he takes up the work
he will have his hands full without having
to give the game the time that active play
demands in training. Mr.. Roller states he
will put into play the Yale tactics that
have been used in the past season. II Mr.
Roller acts as coach it will be done at no
salary expense to the Athletic Association.
De Pauw has in the past few years had
some gold bricks in the shape of coach
ers, and most of them have not warrant
ed the great expense attached. Coachers
at $50 per week and all expenses have
proved expensive luxuries, and there is an
indication over the State that retrenchment
will be made in this line. De Paw, it is
believed, will do as well without this ex-
pense as it has in the past few years with
it, as Captain Roller has had the expert
ence of good training and veteran service.
Among the well-established rumors afioat
is one to the effect that Babe" William
son, of Chicago, who was one of De Pauw's
strong players, will not be in the team this
year. Among the candidates for halfbacks
will be Davis and Cushman. Haynes will
go in as fullback. The Castleton brothers
will be competitors for quarters, as will
also Cartright, of Portland, Ind, a fast and
active 170-pound man. Studebaker will be
in as guard or tackle, and Beard, new
man. and Nicely will be on the ends.
Beecher will again be found at center
Prospects are bright for strong second
eleven, and it is thought that several prom
Using players will thus be developed for the
varsity eleven.
