MANUFACTURE OF CAMpHoR.
An Experiment. Which, If Successful

An Experiment Which, II Successful,
VIII Prove of Great Value.
Gribble & Nash of New York have Just
built at Pittsburg and shipped to Hiago,
Japan, complete plant for the manu-
facture of the camphOr of commerce from
the plants and wood fiber in which it is
found in that country. The completion of
the plant and its shipment may work a
revolution In the manufacture of the drug
named.
The plant, which is composed of stills, en-
gtnes, boilers and other pieces, weighs fifty
hYe tons, and when shipped occupied two
cars. II cost about $4,000, and DR.. A G.
Boyer, prominent chemist, has been en-
gagged for several years by the New York
firm in trying to devise improved methods
Tor the distlllation of the crude camphor
into articles of commerce with view to
erecting plant in Japan. He spent months

construction OF the plant, and on April 9th
Will leave San Francisco for Hiago, where
he will remain for three years.
Inc machinery will go out on the steamer
Hampshire from New York two DAYS before
Dr. Boyer leaves San Francisco Consider
able Importance is attached to the venture.
Inc commercial camphor is now manu-
factured altogether in this country. The
native wood hbers containing the gum are
shipped here and distilled. The Shipment
to this country of the fiber is attended with
great deal OF cost. The freight is $40 per
ton and in each ton the fiber and water
amounts to 70 per cent. Of the % per cent
of camphor in the wood at the time of ship
ment half of it evaporates during its trans
portatlon, leaving not over 12Jh per cent of
the drug. To avoid the expense of the
shipping Of so large bulk aud to prevent
the waste by evaporation, it is proposed to
transfer the manufacture of the article to
places IN Japan near where the cam shor
wood is obtained.
About one-fourth Of the camphor used
comes from Japan and should the plant
prove success similar ones Will be built
there and erected by capitalists of this
country, as large saving will be thus
effected.-N. Y. Times.

QUITE \ NOVELTY.

and all Cabinet entertainments until after
Lent. The Dancing Class is to have two
balls in Easter week and the egg will roll

great egg-rolling comes off on Easter Mon
day at the White House grounds, where all
the small fry in the district, black, white
gamer Tor a carnival and a sight of the
Presidents family. The youngsters are
concerned about the weather now and
hoping Tor sunny day.
Senator and Mrs. Doph's series of Thurs
day evening receptions in March have
proved pleasant and delightful affairs and
nave been largely attended The Pacific
Coast people have made them regular re-
unions, and the Senate circle has been
prominent IN enjoyment of them. Mrs.
Dolph has entertained more this season
than for several seasons back, and at many
handsome dinners has entertained great
many OF those most prominent in social and
official life.
Mrs. Horace Hill. after being the guest of
Senator and Mrs. j. 2. Jones for fort
night, has taken furnished house near
them on Sixteenth street and will remain
here through the Snrnp. For the first time
since their arrival Senator and Mrs. Jones

by the Great Humboldt.
Among the many subterranean recesses
which are met with in different parts of
the world, few are more remarkable, and
lew less known generally, than the cave of
Guacharo, in the Republic of Venezuela, in
South America. Indeed, until Humboldt
published his mastery delineation of this
quarter of the globes Europeans were igno-
rant OF its existence, although it had been
long known to the Spanish missionaries,
and was Tor generations place of awe and
terror to the natives. 1t is situated bear

character, cavern whose uneXpiored re-
eesses give birth TO river, and which is in
haoited by myriads of nocturnal birds,
whose terrible cries awaken all the echoes
OF the dreary Subterranean, is, of course a
neyer-failing subject of conversation. and
the attention of Humboldt; was very soon
drawn to it.
The cavern continues to wind in the same
direction, to be of she same breadth, and to
retain its original height of about 20 feet
Tor distance Of 1850 feet, beyond which it
begins to contract in its dimensions
Throughout its length flows n stream of
water, in some places 80 feet in breadth aud
feet in depth, but from what source this
suOterranean river comes no one as vet has
been able to tell, as the roughness Of the
cavern and various impediments prevent the
progress OF explorers beyond a certain
point. On Issuing from the mouth of the
cave, and running few leagues, the stream
joins the River Santa Maria, whose waters
ultimately fall into the Gulf of Para

found to have attained the height of two

1t IS well known that when light is ex-
Guided from plants they become pale and
dlshgured, of which an instance on a grand
scale was here afforded. In advancing, the
vault gradually began to contract in height,
and In proportion as it became lower, the
cries OF the guacharoes sounded more shriII
and piercing. The Indians at last refused
to proceed any further, and Humboldt was
compelled to retrace his steps to the free air
and the light of day. He found that a
DlslioD had penetrated much farther than
he, having measured nearly $500 feet from
the mouth to the spot where he stopped, al
