How Camphor is Made.

Camphor is made in Japan in this
way. After a tree is felled to the earth
it is cut into chips, which are laid in a
tub or large iron pot partially filled
with water, and placed over slow fire.
Through holes in the bottom of the tub
steam slowly rises, and heating the
chips generates oil and camphor, OF
course, the tub with the chips has q
closely fitting cover, From this cover
a bamboo pipe leads to q succession Of
other tubs with bamboo connection,
and the last of these tnbs is divided
into two compartments, one abov.s tho
other, the dividing floor being per-
forated with small hnles 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 calnphor in crys.
tai in deposit as it passes to the coolin 2
process. The csmphor is then SEP
arated from the straw. packed ia
wooden tubs and is ready for market.
The oil is used by the natives for illu-
minating and other purposes. Chris

Use for Brick Waste.

According TO the statement of Mr..
Miles, well-known engineer, it Is a
fact peculiar to Spanish countries that
ordinary brick-dust made from hard
burned, finely pulverized bricks, and
mixed with common lime and sand,
is universally and successfully en-
ployed rs a sub 'titute for hydraulic
cement Mr.. Miles says that during
an engineering experience of some
six years in Cuba his oppor-
tunities were ample for testing
its merits, and he found it in all
respects superior to tine best Rosend ale
hydraulic cements for culverts, drains,
tanks, and cisterns, and even for
roofs. In an experiment to test the
strength of this product it was found
that block of it one-half inch in
thickness, without sand, and after an
immersion in water for four months,
bore without crushing, crumbling or
splitting, pressure of fifteen pounds
per square inch. 1t is thought that by
the addition of pulverizing mills to
the brick-yards to utilize the waste
and broken bricks, q profitable manu-
facture mig lit be carried on. - Chicago

Keep the Gold at Home.

The amount of gold mined in the
United States, according to the Di-
rector of the United States Mint, since
the discovery of gold in California in
1S48, is 81, 600, 100000 The same au-
thority says We had on hand July l,
1886, about 5000, 200, 600; therefore,
we must have exported round billion
within thirty-eight years. This, to say
nothing of the silver, which is prob
ably 5000, ,OOO,O 900 or $500, 900, 900 more.
1t represents part of our excess OF
imports over exports. Probably as
much more has been paid in interest
bearing securities, bonds, etc. This
sum is greater than all the deposits in
the savings banks in the United States
at the present time. 1t is more than
the total amount of money in circula-
lation in the United States at the pres
ent time. Suppose this money had
remained here, by fostering new in
dustries, and the price of boots was
$40 per pair, wool 81 per pound and
butter the same. With labor 81 per
day who is hurt?-and we would still
have the 81, 100000. Yes, and We
would have $1,000, 100000 more in
real estate, linen, silk and woolen
mills, glass and chemical manufact-
uries. 1t will be better understood
when it is known that all the taxable
property in the United States in 1886
was less than $4,000, 900, ,000.-Tarif
