WAX TnxE. We have read an inter-
atling memoir on the Wax Tree Of Lou
hana, by CHARLES Louis Cadet, of the
college Of Pharmacy, at Paris. The fol-
lowing are his observations on the uti!i-
Of the wax which the tree affords.
The wax, fAys he, is efficiently a
bundant to compenfate the care and ex-
penie of Cultivating it /; for buih in full
bearing yields from fix tofeven pounds Of
kernels, one fourth of which may be OBJ
tanned in wax. /, is hyperion in quality
to beeiwax.
| The anringent principal Of the my
RIGA extracted in the large way, may be
very ufeful in medicine, and in the arts !,
it may to = certain extsnt ba iubltltuts d
inhead OF gall nuts in dying, hat making,
and probably in certain rroceiies ef tan
I ming. The coloring principle appears
efficiently to deierve iome atteation and
it be true that fome fine cakes have
been obtained from it in Louiiiana, why
NAV we not expect to find advantages
from it in painting.
When this wax ihall have become plen
tlful and cheap in the market, it pro
niies great advantages in the fabrication
Of toap.
