POTATO PULP.
The Latest Imi ton of a Substance
that Initiates Ivory.

Not many years since the threatened
ivory famine produced that remarkable
imitation known as celluloid, which has
been successfully employed for every pos
sible use, from billiard balls to piano
keys. Today the imitation has itself been
initiated, and that, too, by curious prep
aration of potato pulp. The inventor is a
Dutchman of the name of Knipers He
treats the waste pulp, itself a residue
from the manufacture of the artificial
potato -four, with a solution Of acid and
glycerine. The resulting compound takes
the form of a species of gum, which is
dried and ground to powder This pow
der is nodded into blocks with the aid of
water, very much as one uses plaster of
paris. There is, however, this important
difference. The new compound can be
cut and turned and bored, and used for
every purpose, from buttons upward, in
which it was formerly customary to use
bone and IVORY

TOWER HAUNTED BY
QUEEN MARY'S GHOST.
mysterious Sounds Which Are Said
to Presage Death i'm Royal
Family.

London, Dec. 2S.-The ghost of Mary.
Queen of Scots, was heard in the bloody
tower of London Tower on Christmas
eve, and this, according to the tradition.
means the death of the Queen of Eng
and. The guard claims he heard a long
vail followed by the sound of footsteps.
Three times was the performance repeat
ed, and the guard, who prompt
y investigated the matter, could
md no cause for the sounds.
1t is said that the spirit of the Scot
tlsh Queen has made itself heard lust
before the death of every monarch of
England since the time of Elizabeth. Ev-
cry effort is being made to keep a knowl-
edge of the rumor from Queen Victoria.
Queen Mary was beheaded on February
), 1887. On May 10, 1871 she had mar
red Boutwell,, the murderer Of Lord
Darnley, her second husband, and Just
one month thereafter she was seized and
She escaped and fled to England, where
Elizabeth confined her first at Carlisle
and then in other castles. When she was
led to the block she bore up bravely,
and. although only injured a little by
the first blow of the axe she made no
Outcry or showed any other sign Of fear.
Three blows were required to dispatch
her. 1t is said that Queen Elizabeth
never recovered her composure after the
death Of Mary, and thus just before the
death of Elizabeth the ghost of the Scot
fish Queen was heard wailing in the tow
ar. This visitation, so tradition runs, has
always been repeated when an English
monarch is about to die.

Worth of Money and Papers
Stolen from Depot.

Detroit, Mich, Dec 2S-The Michigan
Central depot at Wyandotte, a suburb OF
Detroit. was the scene of a bold mai
robbery some time last night, when 4
pouch containing. it is estimated, $1O0,
600 of negotiable papers, checks and
money, was stolen from the waiting
room.
Two sacks of mail and a pouch Of sec,
ond-class matter were dropped On the
platform by a southbound Michigan Cen
trail train at 1928. Night Operator
Richer, it is supposed, took the two bags
and, instead of carrying them to the
ticket office, where the mail is usually
kept, allowed them to lie in the waiting
room. Richer lives in Detroit.
Richer was ignorant today of the fact
that one of the bags had been stolen I'M
til attention was called to it first by
Day Operator c. L. Carl, and afterward
by an old peddler named Bessy, who
found the rified mail sack behind an OF!

Religious MenGicants in Russia.

STA, and they may be classified as the
authorized and the unauthorized, says a
foreign correspondent. The first are the
so-called religious mendicants, who are
protected by the church and tolerated by
the police; the second are the common
vagabonds. Their national name among
themselves is acknowledgements, or
victims Of grief. If you ask them why
they do not work-and the great majority
are perfectly able 20 do sc--they reply in
the forlornest voice mortal ever heard,

of misery and sadness, and they pose as
members of that class.

SCHOOLGIRLS ROBBED.
Porch climbers Invade Dormitories
of Chicago University
Other Burglaries.

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. ,2S.-Porch- climbers
last night invaded Kelly hall, one of the
dormitories for women at the University
of Chicago, and, after securing their
booty, escaped through a tunnel which
connects the building with the other dor
mitories They carried with them $3.50
worth of jewelry belonging to two stu
dents. The burglary took place while
the goods were at dinner. The robber or
robbers climbed the bay window and en-
tered a second story window. Making
their way along the corridor, they en-
tered the rooms of Misses Bellamy and
Williamson, who. with their FELLOWSHIP
dents, were eating dinner. The burglars
evidently were scared away, for several
other rooms. the doors of which were
wide open, were not moleSted.
1t is now thought that the marauders
fed at some unusual noise and sought
safety by means of the tunnel.
The residence of Daniel H. Kochersper-
ger, former county treasurer, at 1899
Drexel boulevard. was visited by porch
climbers while the family was at dinner
on Christmas eve. Crawling along
through the well-lighted corridor ada
cent to the dining room. the burglar
opened a closet, and securing a sealskin
jacket and few small trinkets, valued
at $3.50, made his escape without detec-
ton.
Three masked burglars attacked Mrs
Albert Weimar of Blue Island, H., in
her room, gagged and bound her hand
and foot Then. while she lay helpless.
they searched the house and escaped
with $50.
The young wife of Herman Miller. 1925
Forty-ffth street, confessed to Police
man Fox of the new city police station
yesterday that her husband and D. Bur
rows had stolen nearly $4,000 worth of
goods from downtown firms.
Jewels valued at $11OO are missing
from the house of Louis Doussang, 6336
Greenwood avenue. One of the rings
was a double solitaire of exceptional
brilliancy and was valued at $780, The
other two were worth $3.50 each.
1T is the most mysterious robbery
ever heard Of" said Mr.. Doussang. my
wife is positive she put the diamonds
in jewel case in her bedroom about
a week before Christmas She had been
downtown, and upon her return home she
took off the rings and put them in cham
OILS bag. | don't see how it was posi-
BILE for thief to have broken into the
house, but the diamonds are gone and
that is proof that they were stolen. The
police suggested that the servant may
have had a hand in the robbery, but
Mrs. Doussang and myself both believe
her innocent The diamonds were taken
by some clever thief, and | would give
500 to know how he turned the trick"

ALL MOVE ON BOXERS.
Frequent Hostile Meetings Between
Chinese Bands and the
Allied Troops.

Pekin, Dec. 2S.-The last two days
have witnessed frequent hostile meetings
between Chinese bands and allied troops.
Germans, French and japanese report
small losses.
The Russian commander, Gen. Line
witch, is at Pekn and he has held long
conference with Gen. Chaffee.
In the German district of Pechili prov
lnce there are frequent collisions with
the villagers.
The feeling of insecurity is growing.
A number of detachments of troops
having been called from Pekin and Tien
Tsin to interior points, it is believed here
that serious outbreaks have taken place
throughout the province of Pechili. At
a small village near Taku two japanese
were killed and seven wounded.
AT Chow Chow, near PaOting Flu. $500
Boxers were defeated by the French
troops, whose loss in killed and wounded
was very slight.
Fifteen hundred British soldiers with
three guns, have been ordered to proceed
from Tien Tsin to Yangtsun and are eX-
pected to arrive there tomorrow.
Gen. Chaffee has received information
from missionary sources of the burning
of native Christians, and this has led him
to order 80 men of the Ninth United
States infantry and the same number OF
men of the Sixth cavalry, with two guns
and detachment OF the Fifth artillery,
TO cross the river and advance to the
town Of Sanho, forty-fve miles east Of
Pekin, to clear the country of the Boxers
there Lieut.-Col Theodore J. Whit Of
the Sixth cavalry will command the
Americans. These troops are to cooper
ate with German troops already at that
point.
These movements involve all the powers
that have working military forces in
China. The aggregate strength of their
active operations is about 5000 troops
taken from ali Of the allied contingents.

JOKE OF A TRAINMAN.
No Truth in Story of Drowning Of
Forty nine School Children

Burlington. Ia. Dec. 2S--A telephone
message to the Hawkeye from Washing
ton, Ia, said forty-nine school children
skating on the river at Foster, Ia, near
Whatever, on the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul railway, had been drowned. A
similar message from Washington, Ia,
said that school children were skating on
the river near Foster, Ia, when the ice
gave way and forty-nine were drowned.
Other telephone messages, by way of
Oskaloosa and Ottumwa, said the report
Of the drowning of school children at
Watcher was true.
Investigation today disclosed the falsi-
ty of the above reports. 1t is stated that
the story was started as joke by a

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec 2S.-John w.
Tinsley shot and killed his wife, Anna p

house and lot in Jackson, Tenn, valued
at $500. This latter her husband in
duced her to sacrifice for $500, and five
days after their marriage they came to
Los Angeles on honeymoon trip. Later
he acknowledged he had deceived her in
regard to his wealth. and that she would
see him no more. On the Dist of this
month Mrs. Tinsley filed suit against her
husband in the superior court to recover
f11OO fraudulently obtained from her,
and bitterness over this suit and the
troubles leading up to it evidently caused
the. double tragedy yesterday morning.
