e made him wonder whether it wasn't intended for something else
instead of food.

He has found a means of making the loppered milk so solid, that three days
after he has mixed it with some ingredients, the secret of which he will
not tell, it is like celluloid, and is ready to be cut.

It has a glossy surface, and is of a creamy color.

It is said to be less brittle than bone or celluloid, and not likely to
chip. Any one who has eaten cottage cheese that has been too long on the
stove will believe that the new substance has powers of resistance that

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Editor is pleased to acknowledge the letters from John Russell and
Fred S. Hall, and to know that THE GREAT ROUND WORLD is enjoyed

work of a foundry, but conducting a most delicate experiment, in which he
brought into play all the scientific knowledge available.

you and tell you how much I like THE GREAT ROUND WORLD.

Your affectionate reader,

DEAR EDITOR:--I am very much pleased with your book,
THE GREAT ROUND WORLD. My father wrote you to-day. I am
very much interested in it.

I want to ask you a few questions.

Can you tell me where you get your news? I see you say that
Maceo was shot, after all. Do you think United States will
declare war with Spain? Could you send me a copy of THE
GREAT ROUND WORLD about the time the news of Mac
