MILK BILLAIRD BALLS.
German Chemists Spring a New on'
 on the World.

German chemists Spr1ng New One on the World.
 Washington, April 20.-(Special)- Who ever heard of billiard balls made
 out of skinned milk?
 That's just what certain chemists in Germany have found way to do, &C., cording to the following advice from United States Consul General Richard Guenther at Frankfort, Germany: Chemistry is necessarily at work to create new industrial values from sub stances heretofore considered value less.
 At the creamery day recently held at Vienna, MT. Maxmilian Ripper. as-
 sistant at the chemical agricultural
 experiment station. delivered lecture
 on skinned milk"
 He said that 1t is a well-known fact
 that the success of a creamery. where
 the chief source of profits is of course
 butter, does not depend so much upon the cost of production and the selling
 price Of butter as. on the profits de-
 rived from the skinned milk The
 right market for the milk skinned for
 the purpose of butter is really the vital question of the milk industry.
 Skinned milk has been used for va
 rious purposes-for the manufacture
 of sugar of milk, as food for animals
 and for milk champagne, which is
 skinned milk mixed with fruit juices and impregnated with carbonic acid. rather large percentage of skinned
 milk is also separated into its com ponent parts, which are then worked
 up. The casein serves for the manu- facture of cheese; also for glue, putty. and isolating substances.
 But all these different uses of
 skinned milk did not solve the ques-
 ton most favorably.
 This, however, is now expected from
 the newly invented milk stone" or
 galalith. or petrihed milk. It is man. ufactured in the following manner: By a chemical process the casein is precipitated as a yellowish- brown powder, which is mixed with forma- line. Thereby a hornlike product is formed called milk stone. This sub
 stance, with various admixtures. forms substitute for horn. turtle-shelI, ivory, celluloid. marble. amber, and hard rubber. Handles for knives and forks, paper cutters, crayons, pipes, cigar holders, seals, marble. stone or
 naments, and billiard balls are now
 made of skinned milk The insolu- bility of galalith, it's easy working, l elasticity. and proof against fire, make 1t very desirable Already 10000
 quarts of skinned milk are daily used for this purpose in Austria.

 Boston. April 20.--A spirit of concession to the supporters of William R. Hears, was manifested at tonights meeting ol the Defnocratic State Committee, called to perfect Arrangements for tomorrow { State Convention, at which delegates-at- large and alternates to the National Con- vention wils De chosen.
 The friends of Richard olney claim however. that the convention would ad- vocate Mfr. Olney's nomination for the Presidency by selecting delegates pledged
 Tho Hearst men. led by George Fred Wiinarns. won what they consider an im- portart concession from the State Com mittec when that body voted against the embodlment of the unit rule in the call for the conyenaion.
 Mir. Williams claimed that the part of the convention call which declared that the eiection of district delegates was sub ject to tho action of the State Convention had never been authorized, and that |; had been Subsequently inserted illegally by Mayer Josiah Quincy of this city. I; appeared that the call had originally been sent out without the words to which MT. Williams objected. and 1t was voted that the call as first issued should stand as the legal call for the convention
 Although the Hearst men won their point before the committee, there is nothing to prevent Olney delegates from presenting resolutions tomorrow com hitting the convention to the unit rule. Mir. Williams said tonight that If such resolutions were passed they would be illegal and any attempt to bind the dis trict delegates would be laughed at in St. Louis.
 The candidate of the Olney wing of the State committee. for delegate at large were said tonight to be Colonel Wil- liam A. Gaston, Mayor Patrick A. Col lins. William L. Douglass and Congress man Thayer. It was understood that thise of the Hearst forces were George Fred Williams. George E. McNeil, Jos eph A. Smith and Charles A. Dean.
 Late tonight the Hearst supporters sent committee to the State commit tee suggesting that places be accorded the former on the different convention committees. The suggestion was &C., cepted and committees with two to rep resent the Hearst faction on each were drawn up.
