HAS DISCOVERED NEW METHODS
CASEIN NOW EXTRACTED FROM BUTTERMILK.
E. L. Tague, Who Has Held the Fellowship for Past Year, Announced the Result Today.
Announcement of very valuable discoveries in connection with the manufacture of casein, was made by Professor Robert Kennedy Duncan, of the department of industrial fellowship, today. The fellowship has, during the past 14 months been in the hands of Mr. E. L. Tague, a graduate of the University. During that time he has been working to find a method by which he could extract the casein from some other substance that sweet milk, from which it is commonly manufactured.
The report states that Mr. Tague has discovered that case-in may be manufactured from buttermilk by a new method he has discovered and that by the
use of this discovery the supply which is now limited, will be greatly increased.
Mt. Tague claims to be able to extract at least four pounds of cascin from one gallon of buttermilk. Cascin is worth from 15 cents to 27 cents a pound. Thus the value of the new discovery can be understood at least to a certain extent.
Again, buttermilk is much cheaper than sweet milk and the value of the new method is consequently doubled. It is said that more than 40,000 gallons of buttermilk are emptied into the sewers of Omaha alone every day This total waste may now be utilized.
Casein is destined to fill a large place in the industrial world. Already it is used to a large extent as a substitute for celluloid and meerschaum as well as in the manufacture of billiard balls, in "sizing" paper and in mixing paints. It is also a valuable substitute for amber and tortoise.
in regard to the research work done by him.
Mr. E. L. Tague returned Sunday from a trip to Omaha, where he was for four days conferring with the donor of his fellowship
Mr. Tague will superintend the making of a large quantity of the substance, a part of which will be made here and a part of which will be made in Omaha. This will be the final step in ascertaining the profitableness of the making of casein from buttermilk, which is the object of his fellowship.
Miss Ruth Williston, who took graduate work here 3 or 4 years ago and who has since been teaching in Westport High school in Kansas City, will go to Norway next summer to study Ecology among the Arctic plants. She will accompany the class of Professor Cowles of Chicago. Her father used to teach paleontology at the University, but is now instructor in the University of Chicago.

Golfists Begin Spring Play.
The weather of the past few days has caused the golf players among the faculty to take to the open fields. About half a dozen of the professors have been out for practice and as soon as the ground becomes in better condition many other members of the
club will get out their sticks The tournament held last fall was so successful that the members of the club confidently plan for a similar contest this spring.
