Having called un me fIr my opinion with regard 10
the use o CamphInc, for Ihe purposes OF artificial u-
mnaiIon, have after examining the subject, cmbJd-
I'D tn following iniormatuIr
J. Nature II Caa,y,kIEe. Camphine is a prntimaic
vegetable principle, dIsCoyCrcd sume years SINCE by
Dumas, OF Paris It Is mostly procured spirits
IufpenIlnc, and Is IA fact - very pure cssCuCe q:
Iurpentlne.' IL is capable OF combining with other
substances, and si beng separated again lrpm them
without being changed IN It's qualities. Ii has there
h'rc like pure Alcohol and Ether a permanent aud
distinct nature chymical substance Il IS color
IS, limPd, moderately volatile and cOmhusiIble. "a
The same manner as spirits of iurpennC, bat II Is not
explosive. Camphor differs from CampIinc ouly in
Containing oAygeme, hence the Vi CampIuc, OF
basis of ara phnr
II Economical use If Caslyhins for The purposes al
HgmiEdGoH My opinion favor &c The usc OF Cam
Pne Tor lights, fully expressed ia my lectures
winter, and see cause for changing that opinion.
Inc circumstances which recommend II, as FOL.
lows:
l. Il can be furnished in abundance and al a mod
crate p-ce.
,. It affords a light more brilliant than any other
substance hitherto prupuS,l for common use.
j. IL Is safe. IA way explosive. drops Ere from
the wick, and leaves fire upon It.
l. Ii Is clearly. leaves grease marks, and If spill
cd on clothes or furniture, cyapOrltos entirely like
Alcohol.
s. II endures nny natural degree Of cold without be-
coming IN the least cUngeuled.
9. The lamps once ia order. need no snufiing or
raising Of the wick. bat merely require Ia be kept
rean and to be filled Uen they burn themselves
empty.
Remark The Camphinc 10y exposure 10 the mir.
may; after months keeping, become a ule de-
IeriOmIcd, aud begin 10 form a black crust ON the
wick. The article under these circumstances Is MOI

ILL., Experiments 10 determine me comparative ecOHo
