From Popular Mechanics.

Imitation celluloid collars made OF
goats milk are used in Paris by
artisans. tradesmen. walters and coach
men. The milk collars are said to be
as serviceable as the celluloid, and to
have less polish. which makes them a
great improvement.
In preparing the milk for collars the
curds are drained off the whey and sub
jected to high pressure, resulting in a
substance that looks very much like
celluloid.
Milk curds have been used in Europe
for some years for the making of bill
lard balls. combs, imitation bone knife
handles and collar buttons.

DEFECTS IN WIRELESS
FOUND ON WARSH|PS
Heavy Gunfire Put Delicate
Apparatus Out of Com
mission.

The recent battle practice of the At
! lantic fleet off the Virginia capes dis
closed defects in the wireless telegraph
apparatus that will be productive of re-
newed efforts to perfect that line Of work.
The naval experts would be surprised to
find any troubles not susceptible of i'm
provement as the result of the expert
ments and the inventive ingenuity of its
men engaged. both in the practical opera
ton of the system aboard ship and in re-
searches looking to making the wireless
one of the vital features of naval ef-
ficiency as reliable as possible.
So far the Navy Department has receiv-
ed no word in the way of reports from
the fleet that would justify any conclu-
sions as to the working fitness of the
wireless plant at sea in its present stage.
Under the rules Of the battle practice,
which Admiral Schroeder, commander-in-
chief of the fleet, conducted with con-
siderable handicap In view OF the heavy
seas that early interfered with the work
of the sixteen formidable battleships. the
flagship and the vessels of the firing
squadron had to be in wireless cOmmuni-
cation during each run.
Reports to Be Made.
Regular reports will be made to the
department on the observations of the
workings of the apparatus and the eff
cheney of the personnel In charge of
them. The results Of the experiments
which have been made during the oast
few days by the feet are awaited with
considerable interest by officers of the
navy, particularly in view Of published
reports that the wireless had proven too
delicate an instrument for the war game,
and that it had been put out Of gear
on one of the ships after five minutes
of big gun work, and had not responded
to the efforts to readjust it for several
hours afterward.

alone in the navy. but as well in the

he says:
sit is necessary for me to pause
now in my narrative and give the
reader a little general information re-
garding the Eskimos, their nature, life
and customs, for without some knowl-
edge of these peculiar people it would
be impossible for any one really to
understand the work of my expeditions
into the arctic regions. 1t has been a
fundamental principle of all my arctic
work to utilize the Eskimos for the
rank and file Of my sledge parties, and
without the skillful handiwork of the
women we should lack the warm fur
clothing which is absolutely essential

Furious Charge Of the Brutes.
Suddenly a large bull, followed
by two others, all wounded, came to

The Eskimos were not pleased at the
look of things. They grabbed the oars
and began to bang them on the gun

steam sirens, hoping to scare the in

have been grooming lullabies.

Valuable For Arctic Work Y
81 have been studying lie Eskiinos

more effective Instruments for arctic
work could be imagined than these
plump, bronze, skinned, keen eyed and
black named children of nature. Their
very limitations are their most valu-
able endowment for the purposes of
my work.
MY various expeditions into that
region have had the effect of raising
the Eskimos from the most abject
restitution, lacking every appliance and
accessory of life, to a position of rela-
tive atfluence, with the best material
for their weapons, their harpoons and
lances, the best of wood for their
sledges, the best of cutlery, knives,
hatchets and saws for their work and
the cooking utensils of civilization.
