"GALALITH."

This is the name of . a new substance, which is to ta.ke the place of celluloid. The name means "ntjlkstone," and the substance is said to be non-inflammable ami capable of unlimited uses. Made from milk without the fat, "Galalith" is to be had in all the colours of the rainbow. Ivory, amber, horn tortoise shell and marble are all equally well imitated by it, and the material being flexible b.v immersion in boiling water, the shape of articles made from it may be equally altered. It is specially adapted for the manufacture of combs, brush-backs, cigar and cigarette holders, pipe and other mouth-pieces, umbrella and walving-stick handles, finger plates and piano keys. It price is said to be only a fraction of that of other materials at present used for making such articles, while it looks better. It ought therefore to be popular and to find a very ready market.
