France,s Plain President

President Loubet of France lacks the

there. One horse is white. the other
black: one is two hands taller than

ing for the purchase of 10000 square feet.

The general deficiency appropriation bill
was sent to conference. with Messrs. Hale,
Allison and Teller as conferees.
The Military Academy appropriation bill
was then laid before the Senate and the
amendments read.
Mr.. Hale made a point of order against
the amendment for the reorganization of
the medical and ordnance departments OF
the army that 1t was general legislation.
He also said that the putting of the pro-
vision on the academy bill was an extraor-
binary proceeding.
Mr.. Warren defended the proposed change
as being in the interest of the military
service and In harmony with other changes

THE CANCER PROBLEM.
Radium and X-Rays Have Not Full

From the New York Herald.
When it is deliberately affirmed by high
authorities In surgery that cancer is more
destructful of human, life than is the dread
full scourge of tuberGulosis we can form
some approximate idea of It's high rate OF
mortality. Still more dlsheartening is 1t to
learn from the various experts who have
given their views to the Herald that no i'm
mediate opportunities for lettering existing
conditions are Within aeasy reach. On the
contrary, the disease Is said to be increas-
forts of the medical profession to stay its
progress How 1t originates no one Is will

regarding its cansat3on. Some of these

The same may be said regarding the
question of different harmful foods. In old
times 1t was the common belief that the
tomato was a cancer producing vegetable,
and our forefathers were so impressed with
this fact that the slove. apple. which was

which are then worked up. The casein
serves for the manufacture of cheese; also
for glue, putty and fsolating substances.
But all these different uses Of skinned
milk did not solve the question most favor
ably. This. however, is now expected from
the newly invented petrifed milk. 1t Is
manufactured In therfollOwing manner:
'By a chemical process the casein is pre-
cipitated as yelIowish-brown powder
which is mixed with formaline. Thereby a
hornlike- product is formed called milk
stone. This. substance. with various ad-
mixtures, forms a substitute for horn. tur-
tie shell. ivory, celluloid, marble, amber
and hard rubber Handles for knives and
forks, paper cutters. crayons, pipes, cigar
holders, seals, marble. stone ornaments and
billiard balls are now made of SKINNED
milk. The insolubility of galalith. fits easy
working. elasticity and proof against fire
make 1t very desirable Already 10000
quarts OF skinned milk are daily used for
this purpose In Austria"

aERMANY's SUGAR CROP.
Acreage Of Beets Will Be 3OS,ooo
Acres Less Than Last Year.

A report has just been received at the
Department Of Commerce and LABOR from
Consul Diederich at Berlin, Germany, In
which he says that the German manufac-
turers of sugar are satisfied that nothing
short of a positive reduction in acreage all
over Europe will bring the beet sugar busi-
ness back to a paying basis. The consul
states that in consequence of the Russo
Japanese war there will be greater
scarcity of field labor In Germany than
ever before. The police regulations viii De
more strictly enforced along the borders
of Russia and Prussia. and 1t Is reported
that no passes will be issued to the 3OO,oO0
Russian Poles that usually come into Ger
many early In the spring. cultivate the
sugar beet fields all season and then re-
turn to their Russian homes late In the
fall. Mr.. Diederich says the authorities
of the province of Saxony are taking steps
to get substitutes for them from Galicia.
The consul closes his report by saying that
the acreage viii be about 3O0,OOO acres less,
but, on the other hand. there Is no doubt
that the production of cane sugar Will De
increased by at least 10000 tons. me
worlds consumption will be about 5OOOOo
tons.
Mr.. Mahin. United States consul at Not
tingham, England, says a Liverpool expert
