HOW %cELLULO1D is MADE.

- . - ---'
Most celluloid is made in France,
and this is the process of manufacture:
A rolf of paper is slowly unweund,
and at the same time is saturated with
a mixture of five parts of sulphuric
acid, which falls upon the paper in a
fine spray. This changes the cellulose
of paper into pyroxyline (gun cotton).
The excess of the acid having been
expelled by pressure, the paper is
washed with plenty of water until all
traces Of acid have been removed. It
is then reduced to pulp and passes on
to the bleaching through. 1t is this
gun cotton which gives it its explosive
nature.
Most of the water having been got
rid of by NEAR of a strainer, the pulp

CARE OF 4 COLD.

A cold is a departure from health,
and should really be attended to at
once. Do not let it cure itself. Get
rid Of it soon. Do not feed it, though,
but starve it. One cold after another
nearly always ends in the thickening
of the mucous membrane of. the bron
chial tubes, and before you are aware
of it you become the victim of a winter
cough. d-t.d '.. -E-.@.~ $50"
The morning tub (cold, I mean) is
a very sure preventive of colds. Never
~overclothe or oyerheat yourself. The
neck should be kept cool.' Keep away

strong bi-carbonate of soda and dissolve
it in hot water. Wash the glass, and in
twenty minutes or half an hour rub
thoroughly with a dry cloth.
