How CeIlulOid is Made.

A roll of paper is slowly unwound,
and at the same time saturated with a
mixture of five parts of sulphuric acid
and two of nitric, which falls on the
paper in nice spray. This changes
the cellulose of the paper into a fine
pyroxyline (gun cotton). The excess
of acid having been expelled by pres
sure, the paper is washed with plenty
of water, until all traces of acid have
been removed; it is then reduced to
pulp, and passed on to the bleaching
trough. Most of the water having
been got rid of by means of a strainer,
the pulp is mixed with from 20 to 40
per cent of it's weight of camphor,
and the mixture thoroughly triturated
under millstones. The necessary col
oring matter having been added in the
form of powder, second mixture and
grinding follows. The finely divided
pulp is then spread out in thin layers
on slabs, and from twenty to twenty
five of these layers are placed in hy-
draulic press, separated from one
another by sheets of blotting-paper,
and are subjected to pressure of 14O
atmospheres, until all traces of moist
ure have been got rid of. The plates
thus obtained are broken up and
soaked for twenty-fou hours in alco-
hol. The matter is then passed be-
tween rollers heated 140o 10 1902 Fab

The Tobacco Cure.

That venerable politician and scien-
tist of South Carolina, Gen. Thomas
l.. Clingman. tells me that his pres
ent visit to New York is purely phil
anthropic. 81 am preparing" he said,
.'to publish work which will reduce
human suffering 80 per cent. 1t re-
lates to the pure dried tobacco leaf as
a curative of every disease, from a
bunyon on your foot to disease of the
scalp. Gen. Carr, of our geological
survey, tells me it cured him of gout.
l have known it to cure an ulcer of
twenty years running. A friend
whose knee had been injured by the
kick of horse, and who had been
on crutches six months, applied to-
bacco three nights and threw away his
sticks. For sore eyes, bruises, swell
ings-everything-it is equally eflica-
cious. You simply soak the leaf thor
oughly in water, lay it on with a wet
cotton bandage over it and go to sleept.
The euro is marvelous.-Ne,0 York

A Novel Clock.

A novel clock is described in the
newspapers of Liverpool, where it has
recently been set up. The clock il
made on the simple principle of a
counting or registering apparatus, and
indicating in large legible figures the
exact hour and minute throughout the
whole day and night. The dial con-
sists of series of equal sized plates,
on which the figures are marked.
These figures are arranged side by
side, and exposed to view through an
aperture, division being made in the
center of the opening to distinguish
between the hours and minutes. The
figures on the left indicate the hours,
those on the right the minutes past
the hour, in the same manner as the
time is shown in railway guides. The
figures remain stationary for minute
at q time, and precisely at every sixth
ieth second the last figure on the right
is instantaneously exchanged fol- the
next in succession. Every ten min
utes two figures are thus replaced,
and at every hour they all suddenly
disappear, and the exact time is SIM
ultaneously shown. The figures be-
ing formed by openings in the plates,
glazed with opal glass, always show
bright and clear. and at night are il
Illuminated by the electric light.

The GOld-Beating Art.

If sheet of gold-leaf is held up
against the light it appears to be of a
vivid dark green color; this means that
the light is transmitted through the
leaf. When it is considered that this
leaf is piece of solid metal. better
idea of the extreme tenuity of thick
ness of the leaf can be comprehended
than by any comparison by figures.
Nothing made by the hand of man
equals it in thinness. This extreme
thinness is produced by patient ham
mering, the hammers weighing from
seven to twenty pounds, the lighter
hammers being the first used. When
the true method of this beating is un-
derstood, the wonder expressed some
times that gold leaf beating should not
be relegated to machinery ceases; the
art belongs to the highest department.
of human skill and judgment. Ap-
prentices have served term, and have
been compelled to abandon the busi-
ness, because they never could acquire
the requisite skill and judgment COM
bined necessary to become successful
workmen.-T'oronto Globe.

Walter RaIeigh's Long Home.

The room in the tower of London in
which Sir Walter Raleigh was so long
imprisoned is Sx14 feet in size, and so
low that it was impossible for Raleigh
to stand erect in it. The walls of the
room are eighteen feet in thickness,
and there is only one window-an
opening 1Ox2O inches-from which the
only thing that can be seen is the blank
wall of an adjoining building. Here
Raleigh lived for fourteen years, never
being once out of the room until the
day on which he was taken to Great
Tower Hill to be beheaded.

A Large Bond.

Hitherto the two 10000 Bank OF
England notes have been considered
the largest notes extant. The princely
family of the Starhembergs are the
possessors of single bond of much
greater value namely of the face
value of 1000, 900 florins (about f150,-
900 sterling), their interest in the vast
estate in the Widen in Vienna. The
bond, which nominally yields an an
nual interest of $4,000 florins (silver)
is deposited with the Vienna District
Court.

The Moon Only Thirty Miles Away.

According to the San Francisco Call,
two disks for the 36-inch lens of the
telescope at the Lick Observatory have
been successfully cast. and the great
refractor may be in operation ere the
close of another year. Superintendent
Fraser gives good idea of the power
of the glass by the statement that it
will enable the observer to behold the
moon as she would appear to the naked
eve at a distance of thirty miles. With
this instrument many of the problems
presented by the planet Mars are likely
to be solved, and particularly that OF
the remarkable lines on his surface.

Coats Of Mail Worn by Arabs.
