Cainphor.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way: After a tree is fclled to the earth
it is cut up into chips, which are laid
in tub on large iron pot partially
filled with water and placed over a slow
fire. Through holes in the bottom of
the tub steam slowly rises and, heating
the chips, generates oil and camphor.
Vi course the tub with the chips has q
closely fitting cover. From this cover
a bamboo pipe leads to Il succession Of
other tubs with bamboo connections,
and the last Of these tubs is divided
into two compartments, one above the
other, the dividing floor being perfor-
ated with small holes to allow the
water and oil to pass to the lower COM
partment. The upper compartment is
supplied with straw layer which
catches and holds the camphor in crys-
tai in deposit as it passes to the cooling
process. The camp !.or is then scpa-
rated from the straw, packed in wood
en- tubs, and is ready for the market.
The oil is used by the natives for illum-
mating apd other purposes.

There is general rejoicing among

almost enlire absence OF sipewater in the
low places. What little water has run
together there il rain water-nearly all oft.
THE sewers all remain tightly closed,
without sign of a leak at any of them.
Some Of the drve-wels began to run
pretty lively Yesterday, however, but they
will prob Iby also be attended to, so that
mo water will come into tho city by any
artificial means. The city is in very much
better condition IN every respect this year
than it was last year at this stage of the
rivers, and our people have reason to- re-
ioice over their entire security and freedom
even from the least inconvenience by the
aquatic scourge that has brought distress to
so many people in the hills above here.
Robert Lewis, young negro charged

til an order for 500 was wired to the
treasurer at Chicago by Mr.. j. W. Morris,

from Individual citizens here by the score,
Of which no public mention has been made.
