fnventIve Genius Ia Turning to Coed
Use Even the Onal of Food
Animals.

The report in leading scientific jour
nal to the effect that a French inventor
had perfected process for utilizing
fish scales in the manufacture of
"pearl" buttons and other articles that
partake of the nature OF pearl will be
regarded incredulously by many who
are somewhat familiar with the many
attempts that have been made by chem
lists to convert this waste product into
some useful substance.
The fish scale is about the only offal
Incident to the preparation of food
products that has not been utilized In
some way. and whether the French in
vention is a success or not, it must soon
yield to the inexorable trend Of modern
industrial economics, which proposes
to allow nothing 10 go to waste.
Most people are familiar with the
fact that buttons are now made out Of
Che blood Of slaughtered animals, which
formerly was allowed to go to waste.
Indeed, the packing industry has been
brought to such a high degree Of per-
fection that every portion Of the once
discarded ofral Of pigs and steers is now
made into something useful to contrib
ute to the comfort OF mankind.
A few years ago chemist came along
and told Philip Armour that he was
wasting thousands Of dollars by throw
ing away the stomachs Of pigs, which
contained pepsin. These stomachs
were then shipped TO New York, where
pepsin was extracted, but Mr.. Armour
was finally induced to build labora-
tory Of his own for the manufacture Of
pepsin. As result of this addition to
their vast industrial establishment the
Armours have revolutionized the pep
sin industry and have conferred price
less boon upon dyspeptic humanity by
placing a commodity that was formerly
imported from England within the
reach Of the poorest sufferers. Even the
hair scraped from the skin Of the
slaughtered animals is made by the Ar
mours into thick cloth that is valu-
able in the manufacture Of saddles and
cushions for vehicles.
OoaA ter, d Dy -prouuct ol the mauu-
facture of gas, was formerly regarded
as.of little valne. Many gas factories,
in fact, Sent it into a nearby stream
through waste pipe. This product
has now become one aof the most valu-
able by4prodpcts known to productive
industry. Its contribution to chemis-
try and therapeutics is the marvel Of
the age, to say nothing fits utilization
in the mechanical arts.
It will be one Of the Distinguishing
features Of our industrial progress in
the twentieth century that inventive
genius viii allow absolutely nothing to
go to waste.-Ch Chicago Times-Herald.

NEW YEAR FORTUNE TELLING.
Chinese Avail Themselves of n Pro-
pItious Time--Questions
Asked.

At New Years time in Pell and Mott
and Doyer streets, the so-called priests
in the joss houses reap harvest.
There is no more propitious week in
the year than this for fortune telling.
The work of the priest" is to throw
the kau pui; to read the signs and in
terpret them to the man who seeks
to know the future.
The ceremony may be seen in the
joss houses any night that week, but If
there are sightseers there it is carried
through perfunctorily. All kinds of
make-believe seem to be accepted and
condoned in Chinatown, ii only the
American quarter" or "half dollar"
is to be obtained by it. The serious
matter of fortune telling is taken up
when the last American has taken his
leave.
The priest kneels before the altar
and mutters to the painted gods; in
cense is burning; there is deep silence.
The kneeling man throws two carved
sticks. over his shoulder; they look
like bananas cut lengthwise through
the middle If they fall with the fat
sides up, there is meaning in it,
good or bad; If with the rounded sides
up, an opposite meaning; if with one
round and one fiat side up, it is an
Indifferent sign. Three times the kau
pui are thrown. Then the sign is in
terpreted.
The applicants ask such questions
as these: ''Will my laundry pay me
as much this year as last? Shall win
in the next lottery? Shall my next
gambling venture be profitable? Is
my son to live? Had better sell out
my present business?" If the fortune
is told seriously, the advice is usually
followed seriously; the people are
very superstitious. and always at New
Years they seek to know the future

An Author after Frank e. Long.

j. R. Lindsay, the attorney, accom-
panied by New York lawyer, by the
name of Schlesinger, appeared yester-
day afternoon before Judge Shiras of
the federal court asking for the issu-
ance of temporary Injunction, re-
straining the Frank E. Long opera
company from presenting the play
known as the "Middleman. 1t ap-
pears that Schlesinger is the attorney
for the Frohmans, as we'll as Henry
Arthur Jones of London, England the
latter being the author of the Middle
man. Frohmans are the only theatre
cal men who are authorized to present
this play in this country but it ap-
pears that the Frank E. Long troupe
have been presenting this play, and
Federal court is asked to enjoin Long
from going any further. The court
issued an order asking Long to appear
here Saturday and show cause why he
should not be enjoined, and Deputy
Marshal Bean lerJ last nfgft for Es-
therville to serve the troupes manager
with official notice.-Dubuque Tele-
graph.
The case against Frank is not all
one-sided, as the theatrical profession
generally claim flaw in the copyright
which enables them to use it without
payment of royalty. The outcome of
the suit will be watched with great
interest in Cresco.
