Republican ticket are now pledged to
this proposition.

q ' tlE1N 1919, tnOSe men WHO are
fond of finding out all abou
things, tell us that a cows horn
is a combination of phosphate of lime,
gelatine n albumen, with these three
substances in the right proportion to
make the horn not only serviceable to
the animal, but useful to man. The
lime makes the horn hard, but there is
Just enough to make it hard without
making it brittle, and there is just
enough gelatine to make h horn
easy to cut and shape.
Inside the horn is a core. which is
bone. To get il. out the horn is soaked
In water for several weeks, and when
the core comes out it is ground up and
made into crucibles, which are used
Tor melting gold and silver in.
The outer end of the horn is hard and
solid, and is used for making knife
handles and other things. The hollow
part of the horn is soaked for half an
hour OF so in boiling water, when it
becomes soft and may easily be split
with a knife. 1t is then spread out
fiat and put between iron plates. There
was a time long ago when these horn
plates were made very thin by hard

which children learned the alphabet,
were made OF the same.
When horn is heated it may be

A mould of the required shape is used.
and when the heated horn substance
is put into 1t and subjected to pressure
the material takes the shape of the
