Even the ..top knot on the little fowls head is mostly white. Dunaway says he will mount it and ship it to Game Warden Prochaska, deeming it better to have attention called to the possi- bility of their being other quail of that color and thereby making 1t possible to avoid such mistakes as his in the future.-Evening Bulletin.

 "Mah names Poe, ma'am," he an- swered.

GLASS THAT CAN BE BENT
New Invention Declared to Be sulta-
bic for q Number Of Useful IN.
dustrlal Purposes.

A new substitute for glass or for
lacquer has been invented. 1t can be
cut with shears or with a knife and,
when heated to more than 100 degrees
Centigrade. 1t forms kneadable mass
which resumes It's previous hard state
on cooling. 1t is known as "cellon."
Under the patents of DR.. Eichelgrun,
a company is making cellon in the
form Of solid or liquid solution Of
acetyl cellulose in camphor, either
white or colored, transparent or
Opaque. 1t appears in slabs, or tube
form, as well as In the form Of plas-
tic mass, as putty to be used for lag
ging purposes or as an antitrust liquid.
The hard vitreous cellOn is bendable
and sprIagy and insensitive to cold
water, soap, fat, alcohol or petrol.
When burnt in a flame 1t drops off like
shellac, without, however, being as
cOmbustible as the latter. CellOn var
nish, which can be allowed to harden
or solidify into flexible layers, is suit
able for many industrial purposes.
Liquid cellOn can be used for impreg-
mating textiles or for making ilsulat-
ing tape. In this latter form it can be
taken from the round box in which it
is wound up, even in the moist condi-
ton, and allowed to harden in air.

PostaI Air Service.

After the signing of the armlstice
the British authorities established a
postal airplane service to Cologne, and
In connection with this service sys-
tematic use was made of wireless tele-
phony, says the Halifax Morning
Chronicle. Wireless telephone stations
were placed on the ground at dis
tances of fifty miles from each other,
and with the use of quite small sets
were able to transmit messages to air
craft up to thirty miles away. They
could also receive from the air to
about fifty miles. Frequently these
distances were exceeded and an air
plane was in communication at one
and the same time with three stations.
Considering the small size of the APP
paratus employed these were remark
able results, and testify to the rapid
progress made by the British air serv-
ice since the first trials of wireless
telephony to airplanes in 1915.
