HEMLoCK EXTRACT FACTORY
Last week we visited the Hemlock
Extract Factory of Messrs. Smith
d Doanc, at Trowbridge Point, and
found the work progressing as rap
idly as could be expected under the
circumstances. There has been
some delay OH account Of the late
opening of navigation, as some of
the machinery, ETC., would come to
this city by boat, but if everything
works smoothly now, the institution
will be in running operation about
the first of June. 1t is calculated
that the concern will turn out from
fifteen to twenty barrles of the ex-
tract per day, which will sell for
about six dollars per pound, con-
tanning APO pounds, and the cost of
running the factory, transportation,
barrels, etc., will not exceed 500
per day, thus leaving the firm a
profit of about $50 daily. The
boilers and engine are now being
put into position, and the remain
ing tanks being made. There will
be three tanks, sixteen feet deep
and fifteen feet i'm diameter, four
tanks ten feet deep and nine feet in
and two tanks six feet
deep and eight feet in diameter, to-
gether with three condcnsers, half
circle twelve and half feet long.
The larger tanks will be used for
teaching purposes, and from these
the fluid passes 10 the smaller ones,
andso on to the condcnsers, which
have the steam pipes running thro'
them, and from the lower one of
these the extract is drawn off into
barrels, and made ready to ship.
The total cost of the institution
when completed will be from $4,000
to $4,000, and IL can well pay the
good profit on the In |
vestmcnt.

The -Aldine for May is the most
brilliant number of this superb
magazine ever issued. 1t opens
with a magnificent marine picture,
"The Lee Shore" by M. f. III. de
Haas, who stands, by general con-
sent, at the head of the marine
painters of America, and who has
never done anything so fine as this
drawing. The fury of the winds
and waters that have driven the
good ship from her course on the
terrible lee shore is rendered with
wonderful breadth and vigor, and
wildly recalls the destruction which
lately overlook the Inflated Allan
tic. We turn from this dreadful
struggle of the elements to deli
cious drawing after the original of
Monginot. 1t is entitled "Unbid-
den Guests" and represents group
of kittens on the table of an epicure,
and making havoc among the
dishes. "a Trout Book" by CAST
lear-a glimpse of roaring torrent,
that goes winding and dashiug on
its way through the breezy woods,
which the angler will be unwilling
to leave as long as the trout rise, as
they must there. There are besides
six spirited illustrations of New
Chicago /; the first, a full drawing,
being a noble architectural view
of the New Postoffice, q magnifi-
cent structure-and the others sim
liar views of the principal public
buildings of Chicago as the Pacific
Hotel, the Michigan Southern and
Rock Island Passenger Depot, the
Chamber of Commerce, and the
Times and Tribune newspapers.

cussed with great intelligence and
independence. Subscription price
