IL Has Never Been Half Found out,
But Now the Time Is at Hand.


From the New York Tribune.
A dispatch from Washington published
in these columns yesterday told of a new
use for skim milk for making a substance
resembling celluloid, useful for various
manufacturing purposes. The strangest
thing about 1t is that the news should
come tearing along over the wires from
Washington at dead of night. 10 blaneh
the faces Of the people who read the papers
at breakfast. For the substance and sum
a least of It's possible uses are many years
old. sim, it must be admitted that little
use has been made of it, compared with
what might be.
You can make anything out of IL that
you can make out of celluloid-piano KEYS
and shirt bosoms, oiI-cloth and billiard
bafls front teeth and the backs of hair
brushes, and many other things that the
reader will think OF as he chances around
his room and notes the things that II con-
tains made of cellulod and hard rubber
But surely IL Is good for more than this
1t must be the most compressed of all COM
pressed food, and therefore the most easy
of transportation. Its uses for ordinary
travellers who do not wish to be At the
mercy of INSCRIPTIONS hotel keepers are
obvious, but It's military uses are simply
incalculable. Ii need not add an ounce 10
the impedimenta OF an army, and yet tons
Of it could be carried. Only make every
thing Out of IL.
Use it for the boxes In which other
foods are packed; make the wagons them
selves of II; make the harnesses of il, not
only of the wagon horses and the mules
but the seddles and the brides OF the cav

make the soldiers belts and buckles and
buttons and boot tops and collars of 1t.
Then. when an army gets out of provisions
OF the regular sort, Il can eat absolutely
all of It's accoutrements, before starvation
faces it.
IL is said that the substance Is not at
all affected by water, and that might seem
20 be an obstacle in the way Of ito use as
food. But there is no present assurance
that II cannot be affected by alcohol and
no soldier who knew his duty of obedience
would complain because his condensed food
was softened up with alcohol, in any con-
venient form. instead OF with water, which
is oftener than not dangerous for an army
to drink
The only danger Is that these new uses

people do vote for when they are discon-

that the department of agriculture use as

this will doubtless do just as well fot biz
lard balls, combs and brushes. etc, which
are never to be eaten. and this will relieve
the cows from overwork, so that they can
easily produce all that will be needed for
army wagons and boots and buttons.

MCCOY WAS THE BETTER MAN.
But stiff Fought Hard Before He
Gave Up the Fight.

st. Louis, Oct 27.-The initial boxing en-
tertainment of the West End Athletic Club
was held tonight at its new quarters in
the Mammoth Coliseum. The bright par
ticular star of the night was Kid" Nc
Coy, who appeared with Billy Stiff of Chi
cago as an opponent.
Mccoy had the advantage of Stiff in
night and reach. but in weight the latter
was favored by several pounds. For the
first half dozen rounds Stiff appeared in
great awe of his opponent and remained
on the defensive. As a matter of fact Nc
Coy was able to draw him out only few
times during the thirteen rounds. Stft
showed that he was a fighter and several
times had the KID in a tickhsh position.
In the eighth Mccoy took the benefit of the
count owing to a collision and fan and
put him down with terrific right hand
punch in the back of the neck.
The KID recuperated quickly in each
instance and continued to force the fight
ing. His foot work was beautiful and
he sidestepped blow after blow. In the
thirteenth round Mccoy played his left
lightly for Stifts nose, and as the latter
raised his guard high the Kid whipped
his right over like a flash to the point
of the jaw. Stiff fell fiat on his back
and lay motionless. After he was count
ed out Mccoy carried the fallen man to
his corner. Stiff did not recover his fac
ulties for some time.
Before the middleweights appeared Cas-
par Leon of New York and Steve Flana-
gan of Philadelphia came on for twenty
five rounds to settle their dispute as to
who was entitled to be known as the cham
pion bantamweight of America. The boys
put up a very clever article of fight. Elan
asan was constantly the aggressor and in
the last half-dozen rounds had his oD~
pOnent in bad shape. Several times Leon
was on the verge of collapse but his ring
generalship saved him. AT the end of the
twenty-ffth round the referee awarded the
decision to Flanagan.
