the conspirators trampled down the

Celluloid is one of the most remark
able Of modern inventions, aud bids
fair to be not less extensively or vari-
ously used than vulcanized rubber. II
is produced by mixing gum camphor
with pulp of gun-cotton, and subject
ing the combination to high degree
Of pressure and heat. The result IS
hard product OF extraordinary toughness
and elasticity. 1T can be made plastic
again and nodded into any required
form. Any color can be given to it by
the use Of coloring matter during the
process Of manufacture. The uses to
which celluloid is put are numerous,
and are constantly increasing. TITS ex-
tensively used as a substitute for ivory.
which It resembles SO closely that il is
sometimes difficult TO detect the differ

strength and elasticity, amt not to warp

good material for piano and organ keys,
billiard balls, backs of brushes, looking
glass frames, handles for luives, forks,
umbrellas, and many other articles. 1t
is much cheaper than ivory, and is
claimed to be better for decorative pur-
poses. It is also used with much sue

APPROACH OF COMETS. Although the
near approach to the earth Of several
comets las been known, the least dis
tances of only two have ever been de-
termined with any degree Of accuracy.
On July /, 177o, comet was within
/ 800 900 miles of the earth h-the closest
approach Of one Of these bodies OF
Which astronomers have any certain
knowledge. It's apparent diameter was
D. deg, or nearly five times the appar-
ent diameter Of the moon. 1t IS not
surprising that the apparition Of such q
monster should cause panic q terror
among unenlightened and superstltlous
inhabitants of the earth.
