Collar buttons Made OF MILK.

There seems to be no limit to the
ingenuity of the Germans. Not con-
tent with making butter and cheese
out of milk. they have devised a meth
cd whereby not only collar buttons
can be made from skim milk, piano
keys, dominos, dice and chess figures
also. Galalith is the magical sub
stance. 1t is derived from the casein
of milk. Casein is also used in
making paper, glue and color. The
best comes from France. The head
quarters for the galalith industry is
Hamburg, where it has fiourished
since 1902.
The Hamburg galalith makers con-
tract with French butter makers for
skim milk at the rate of 80 cents
for 220 pounds, they STIMULATING to
return the whey to the butter makers.
Tho skim milk is coagulated with
rennet by the dairymen. When the
curds have been pressed until they
contain about so per cent. of water
they are shipped to Germany for
the finishing process, by which they
are fashioned into blocks. 1t takes
more than 5000 quarts of skim milk
to make 220 pounds of dry casein.
That quantity is worth $15.5O.-

Abraham Potekei. IA years old, who
two years ago was taken 10 police

of the Western press. The boy had
been tagged through from New York,
immigrant style, but the address was
wrong, and when the error was dis

their COW to buy his transportation"
Friends gave him shelter ana he be-

and stationery shop, for which he
pays a substantial rental. He sent to
Europe for his sister, who, he says,
will soon speak English well enough
to take care of the shop, so that he
can go back to school. His heart Is
set on becoming the owner OF the

AN ODDLY SHAPED CHURCH.
And Other Freaks of the Brooklyn
Approach to Manhattan Bridge.


When the work Of extending Flat
bush avenue to form a proper an
proach for the new Manhattan Bridge
was we'll under way Brooklyn thought
that the Fleet Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church would have to go. The
first Montauk Theatre by a mighty
EFFORT was moved over the danger
line and turned a new face upon the
new thoroughfSre, but it did look as
IL the church couldn't escape.
But It has escaped, though not I'M
scathed. Workmen got to work at
1t. but they tore down only a part.
Then they built q new wall along tho
line of the extended avenue.
The result Is somewhat curious.
Imagine a rectangular building with
an arched roof. and then take a gem
erous slice on one corner. The result
Is a very irregular pentagon at the
base and an indescribable tumble Of
lines and curves from the caves UP.
This church is the most striking
example OF buildings made into odd
shapes by the Flatbush avenue extern
sion, but many smaller structures
now appear in grotesQue form. Some
corner buildings, once square, are
now triangular and in other cases
mere slices of structures have been
preserved.
Buildings have been fronting this
new street for some time, but the
street itself is a series of hillocks and
vreckage and hoardings. Brooklyn
hopes 1t will be a real thoroughfare

FIVE COTTAGES BURNED.
Serious Fire On Chesapeake Bay
Front At Ocean View.

Norfoik.-A serious fire OF I'M
known origin destroyed five of the
finest cottages on the Chesapeake
Bay front at Ocean View and threat
ened others in the same vicinity be-
tween 3 and O'Clock A. NJ. This
loss will be about $4,000.
Almost the entire population OF
Ocean View turned out and fought
the flames. but the winds were toe
high for effective work and the fire
was not subdued until it had swept
away everything in lbs immediate
path.
The cottages destroyed were those
of Captain w. S. Foster and +. b.
Mars, the large Batchelder boarding
cottage just opened; the T. c. White
cottage and an unoccupied house.
situated between the Mars and
Batchelder cottages. The last men
toned is one of the two-story green
cottages built by Curdets, a jeweler,
just before the jamestown EXPOSE
ton. The fire started in the T. c.
White cottage, recently opened by a
family from Hampton, who moved
in about a week ago.
The fire spread quickly to the
Batchelder cottage, which had only
this week been opened for the sum-
mer by Mrs. Cason. When this
caught it was seen that the other
cottages were doomed. The Ocean
View fire-hghters were out, and got
stream of water on the fire, first
in an effort to extinguish the blaze
and then to prevent its spread, but
to no avail.
Every possible effort was made 20
save the Foster cottage, a new and
handsome seaside home, completed
less than II months ago. Captain
Foster, of the Virginia Pilots Asso-
citation, had been i'll in bed for two
weeks with an abscesS on his leg and
had to be moved from his bed when
it was found that his cottage was
doomed.
E. B. Mars, whose property was
known as the Ruth Boarding Cot
tage, lost everything he had and sus-
tanned injuries while fighting the fire.
He experienced difficulty in getting
his family from the burning house.
Some of the occupants of the burn
ed cottages had to escape in their
nightcloths.
