How Perfume Is Extracted.

- la.5r yfFrom the New York SUM-
One of the best methods OF obtaining
perfumes is by the use of grease. The
process IS called mace, alton. The best
lat employed is marrow, W hich is melted
iii a water bath and strai1 ed. While it
is still warm the flowers are thrown in
and left to digest for several hours.
They are then taken out and fresh ones
are placed in the grea'e. This is con-
tinued for several days. The grease and
perfume are then separated by the use
of alcohol. Beef marrow is not the only
substance used in extracting the odors
from the flowers. Inodorous oils are
also used, especially refined olive oil,
which is more extensively employed in
the south of Europe. The process used
for delicate plants, such as iessamine,
tuberose and cassia, which will not allow
the use of heat, is Oh the pri ocirle of alb
orption. A layer of purified lard and
such mixture is spread on the glass bot
tom OF square wooden box, and upon
this freshly gathered flowers are spread
every morning as long as the flower is in
bloom. The boxes are kept shut, and
the grease soon acquires very strong
odor. In saturating oil, instead of glass
bottoms to the boxeh wire ones are used.
uron which cloths soaked in oil are laid,
and the boxes or frames are piled upon
each other to keep them close. After
the oil soaked cloths are sufficiently
charged with the perfume, they are
placed in a press and the oil is squeezed
