Mr. GAY. AgentJo 4. '. H. Wei. Of Nev York,
Having called on me for my opinion with regard
ne use "i Cninphine, ioT ite purposes OF artificial illu
mInation, have. after examining Tho subject, erabOd
sod the following information:
!. Nature II C~0npbire. Camphiuo is a pro climate
vegetable principle. discovered some years since, by
Dumas, OF Puris. lin mostly procured from spirits OF
TurpentiRc. and is in fac, "a very pure essence OF
TnrpenIine.' ]; is capable of combining with other
Substances, and ct being separated again from them
Without being changed in its qualities. II les there
iore' like pure Alcohol aud Ether. a permanent and
distinct nature as 4 chymical substance. IL 10 color
less. iIinpld. moderately volatile mud cOnibusnblo. in
The same manner as spirits Of rurpeniine. but il IL moi
explosive. Can ?hcr differs froRr Camphine only in
containing oAygene, hence the name Of Camphine. OF
basis Of Camph0r.
IL Economical useef Comphiac for ds purposes Of
'Humisaaon. My opinion ia favor OF the use of Cam
phino %iorlghis, was fully expressed ia ms lectures last
winter. and ] see no enuse for changing thai opinion
The circumstances which recommend it, are az fol
lows:
j. II can DC furniskodin abundance. and a, a mod
crate price.
2. Ii affords a light more brilliant than any other
substance hitherto proposed for common use.
3. IL S safe. in M way explosive. drops no fire from
tho wick, and leaves ne FIRE upon il.
4 IL iscleanly. leaves no grease marks. and If spill
I'd on clothes or furniture, evaponaIe- entirely. like
Alcohol.
5. Itendures any natural degree Of cold without be.
coming IN the least cUngealed.
b. The lamps once in order. need no s%nufing or
ralsing Of the wick. hut merely require TO Re Kept
cloan' and TO DO filed as oiien as they burn themselves
empty.
Remark. The Cam fhine by exposure 10 tho air
may; aser some months keeping. become a lille dc.
tenOTated. aud begin TO form a black cTust on the
WICK. The article under these circumstances IL NOT
spoiled. but only requires rehabilitation by the manu-
laciureT. 10 be a. perfect as al first.
