MILK AS A FABRIC.
Chemistry Can Convert Il Into Many
Useful Materials.

Although any one viii concede that
man cannot lie by bread alone, 1t has
been thought possible to get along
rather nicely IL milk We're added to the
diet But it remained for two French
chemists, Francois Lebreil and Raoul
Desgeorge. to conceive an idea where

clothing and ornaments
The curds of the milk are subjected
to a chemical treatment 10y means Of
which the mass H. converted into q

into sheets resembling cellu!Oid. from
which buttons and other articles such
as combs, umbrella handles. bric-a-

Protecting Clothing
From Ravages of Moths

As carly as possible in the spring all
woolens, furs, etc, the use of which
can be dispensed with, should be put
away IN safe storage for the summer.
Before being packed away such articles
should be thoroughly brushed and beat
en- and, if possible. exposed to the
strong sunlight for several hours out Of
doors. The brushing is very important
in order to remove the eggs or young
larvae which may have escaped notice
Articles SO cleaned and summed should
then be put away in mothproof con
tainers.
Materials which cannot be thus put
away should he given the same thor
ouch cleaning and reinspected during
the summer. preferably every two
weeks. In no case should such exam
nations be at intervals of greater than
three weeks Or a month.
Wooden clothing and furs, etc, may

of paper or in well made bags of cotton
or linen cloth or in paper sacks which
can be tied o. otherwise securely fas-
tened to prevent ingress of the moths.
IN these packages can be placed such
repelcats as tobacco dust, camphor,
etc. The odors of these substances are
dlsagreeable to the parent moths and

Why Clothes Become Yellow.

The following of clothes can usually
be traced to one OF the following
causes: Insufficient rinsing. Most liz
uid bluings on the market at present
are iron compound, If soap is left in
the clothes it deeomposes the bluing,
freeing the iron. which leaves yellow
streaks on the clothes. Using cheap
yellow laundry soaps Such soaps con-
tain a large amount of resin. When
the clothes are boiled the resin is set
free and is deposited in yellow spots
or streaks on the clothes

The Spectroscope.

Originally the spectroscope was ap-
piled only to chemistry and in that linz
tied field proved itself an invaluable
aid in accurate analysis. BY holding
in Bunsen flame a platinum wire
molstened by contact with the skin the
presence of few grains of salt swal-
lowed a few minutes previously can be
detected with the spectroscope. In
deed, so wonderfully refined is the
work of the spectroscope chemist that
he can discover in substance the
presence of one three-millionth Of a
grain OF metal.
