milk to a. considerable extent. but more
especially in buttermik. It Is easily
extracted and after drying process Is
reduced to a powder. This casein is
then mixed with an equal quantity of
crushed stone, having about the same
consistency as talcum. Water is added
and the whole forms kind of paste
that is very pliable and may be made
into almost any desired form.
Before the war the Germans were
using this preparation In the manufac-
ture of knife handles and ornamental
objects. In some cases it was made
to SO closely resemble ivory or horn
that the difference was extremely hard
to detect. There was a good deal OF
mystery as to the composition of the
substitute, but American scientists
! have now determined that it is the
same substance as Germany has now
utilized in making invisible aeroplane
wings.
The mixture of casein and stone Is
rolled into thin sheets of the desired
size. and wire netting spread be-
tween two of these sheets. They are
! then fastened together with a cement
of the same mixture, forming com
pact. non- inflamnlable, waterproof and
invisible aeroplane wing. It seems
possible that the body of the German
| machines may soon be covered with
the substance. rendering the whole in
visible at a distance.
If this result Is, accomplished it will
mean the creation of a new mechanical
| terror such as the world has never
known. If some way can be found

Who in 1920?
Presidential Bees Already
Begin to Buzz.

PROFESSIONALLY, William G.. McAdoo
secretary of the treasury, is the lead
ing possibility for the Democratic
nomination for president in 1920 He
gacity. However one may disagree
with his economic theories, the lead
ers of both parties recognize in him
a formidable factor in the presidential
race of 1920. He was not a candidate
in 1916 and the discussion of his pros
poets now comes with a freshness that
stimulates interest.
In the same manner and for the
same reason, the discussion that cen
tiers about the possibility of the Re-
publican party nominating Herbert G.
Hoover, food administrators, as the Re-
publican candidate for president.
creates equal interest. He is rated as
Ia Republican, although the fact that
he has spent Il great deal Of his time
abroad as a mining engineer might
operate against him He has never
taken an active part in politics and
his food administration has been free
from amy political considerations.
On the Democratic side, the poten-
tial candidates in the order in which
they are heins discussed are as fol-
lows: William q. McAdoo of New
York. secretary of the treasury; Cover
nor Cox of Ohio, Newton y. Baker Of
ohio. secretary Of war, Champ Clark
OF Missouri, speaker of the house
Oscar W Underwood of Alabama,
member of the United States senate !,
and the perennial candidate, William
Jennings Bryan of Nebras ska
On the Republican side. the poten-
tial candidates, in the order in which
they are being discussed, should be
listed az follows; Charles L. Hughes
Theodore Roosevelt: Governor Lowden
Of Illinois: Governor Edge of New
Jersey; Herbert c. Hoover of Cali
fornia; Governor Mccall of Massa-
chusetts, just elected for Il third term;
Hiram johnson of California: Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts; and Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania.
