Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After the tree is felled to the
earth il is cut up into chips, which are
laid in tub on large iron pot par
TALLY filled with water and placed over
a slow fire. Through holes in the bot
tom of the tub steam slowly rises and,
heating the chips, generates oil and
camphor. OF course the tub with the
chips has closely fitting cover. From
this bamboo pipe leads to succession
of other tubes with bamboo connections,
and the last of these tubes is divided
into two compartments, one above the
other. the dividing floor being perforat-
ed with small holes to allow the water
and oil to pass to the lower compart-
ment. The upper compartment is sup
piled with straw layer which catches
and holds the camphor in crystal de-
posts as it passes to the cooling pro-
cess. The camphor is then separated
from the straw, packed in wooden tubs.
and is ready for the market. The oil is
used by the natives for illuminating and
other purposes.

A negro with remarkable memory
has been discovered at Little Rock. He
was employed by a contractor to select
stones of a special weight and weighed
several car loads. When the car was
unloaded complaint was made thai
some were too large and others toe
small, but to the surprise of the con.
tractor the negro gave the exact weight
of each to the fraction of pound, al
though there were no marks to distin-
guished one stone from another.

The ancient mounds found in Wis
consin were made in the form of birds
and animals in different postures. They
represent flying geese, eagles, jack rab-
bits and panthers in the act of springing
upon their prey. One was in the shape
of an elephant, but is now destroyed.
Others resemble turtles and crawfish.

The Republicans of Iowa had not the
least difficulty in their caucus in nom-
mating Hon. William b. Allison for re-
election as United States Senator. Not
a shadow of opposition was manifested,
and ne will be reelected by the legis-
lature in a few days. Mr. Allison is
one OF the most useful men in the Sem
ate and represents his constituents and
The best interests of the country with
signal fidelity. His present term ex-
pires in march next, and the fact that
he is about to be elected for third
term indicates that the people of Iowa
duly appreciate his services.

Miss Sarah Freeman Clarke has de-
voted part of her life to the task of fol-
lowing the footsteps of Dante in his
wanderings through Europe. The notes
and sketches made by her will be repro
duced in the March and April numbers
of The Century, while in the February
number two preliminary papers will
appear, one by Christina Hossetti on
Dante and his Divine Comedy, and one
by Miss Clarke on the portraits of
Dante. The latter paper will be strik-
ingly illustrated. Among the portraits,
a copy of the famous mask of Dante
will be given, and full-page engraving
by Cole of the Dante of Raphael, paint
ed on the walls of the Vatican, in the
famous "Disputa
Indiana is the first State IN which the
Republicans have called their conven-
tions for the choice of delegates to the
National Convention. The Indiana Re-
publican State Central Committee yes
terday appointed, April II, for State
Convention for the selection of four dele
gates at large, and April 10 for conven-
tions in the several Congressional dis
tricts for the selection of the district
delegates. This is a strict compliance
with the spirit of the resolution adopted
by the last National Convention, leav-
ing to each Congressional district the
choice of its own delegates, without die
tation or interference by the State Con-
vehtion, whose only legitimate function.
rs regards the appointment of delegates
to the National Convention, is to select
those for the State at large. The Re-
publicans of Illinois and all other States
will do well to follow the truly Republic
can example of the Indiana State Com
mittee.
