Buttons Made Ol MlIk.
hlladalnhlh Tlmoa.

From the Philadelphia Times.
For a long time buttons and other
articles for which bone is generally used
have been made from CONCEALED blood,
purchased at the slaughter houses, and
treated with some substance that hard
ems it TO the sufficient consistency. The
same articles can be made from milk by
process invented by an Englishman.
The milk used ia the skim milk. The
process Of turning this liquid into but
tons, pool balls, combs, backs Of hair
brushes and similar articles consists of
mixing it with substance, the ingredi
ents of which are a secret Of the inventor,
and compressing it. AT the end Of three
days the substance is as solid as celluloid,
and is ready to be cut and shaped in any
way the manufactures wishes. AT pres
ent factory in Holland is engaged in
fashioning the hardened milk into va.
rious articles, buttons being the chief.
The buttons made in this peculiar way
differ very little in appearance from
ordinary bone buttons. They are
creamy white in appearance, but can bs
colored black or red or any other color
by simply mixing the coloring matter
with the milk before the hardening pro.
cess begins. They are said to possess
advantages over the bone and celluloid
article in being less brittle and less
liable to chip. For combs the milk sub
stance has been found to be especially
well adapted, ss it is smooth and delicate
to the touch, and derives from its creamy
origin a glossy surface. In the same
way it is a good substitute for ivory in
billiard and pool balls.

age from towns and farms among the
hills and in the valley above the lake

will be built at distance OF 200 feet
from the edge Of the water a stone wall

soon as the city begins to use the water.
The dam is to be completed in 1900, and
the lake will hold enough water TO cup.
ply the inhabitants OF Manhattan Island
for more than six months at the rate Of
250,O0O,0O0 gallons per day.
But early in the twentieth century the
Greater New York will require more
water than can be obtained in the pres

commission, composed Of skilled en-
gineers, will explore the Catskill Noun
taina, 100 miles away, for the purpose Of
mapping out a vast system Of dams, lakes
and storage reservoirs, They are to
plan system adequate to supply city
of 100000, or even 100000, people for
100 years to come. Within ten years,
according to present plans, work will
begin on a monster aqueduct that is TO
extend from the Catskills under the
Hudson River into the city. It is TO have
a carrying capacity Of not less than 6OO,
100000 gallons OF water per day

with their maximum OF thirteen knots

make twenty kuots is simply "not in it"
In luxury the improvement has been
not less great. The new North German
Lloyd ship now in the harbor 10 the tlrst
OF coming feet, with two great prom
enade decks above the main deck. She
is correctly described as "nine story
sky .scraper." A little while ago the
main deck was the topmost reach for
passengers. In a little while the ship
that has less than two promenade decks
above that will be deemed an antiquated
affair.
All these changes mean luxury. But
do they mean comfort in sea travelS The
twin screw requires broad bottom, end
the broad-bottom ship rolls upon very
small provocation. Every addition to
"top. p.hamper"--that is to say, every
additional deck-mesLs top-heaviness
and an increased tendency to roll un-

The increase in speed also has robbed
the voyage Of much Of its delight, The

cheated of his share OF the sea when at
the end Of six days he makes port. The
passenger who is seasick is just begin

After all, the old, slow ships we're the
ships for any genuine lover of the sea to

them no more, and the voyage will be-
come 40 hurried and hustling as a Pull

New Ships and Old Ships.

From the New York World
A rev ship came into the harbor q
few days ago, the fOrerunner of new
feet and a new epoch.
When the old National line about
fifteen years ago sailed it's 5,0O0-ton
steamers into this port it was seriously
debated question in the newspapers and
elsewhere whether their size was not in
excess Of the limits of prudence and
safety. Now the 5000 ton ship is a small,
second-ra boat. All the lines have
ships of 10000 tons. The two great
Cunsrders -Campania and Lucania-
rnR to $4,000 tons. The North German
Lloyd Company is building two ships
still bigger, each having a length Of GAO
feet, while the White Star people are
building one Of the enormous length Of
7O4 feet, the biggest ship ever dreamed
Of, not excepting the Great Eastern.
The progress has been equally great in
other directions. Fifteen years ago the

Eight sergeants-st-arms protect the

The Queen never converses directly
