A very important change has re-
Gently taken place in the methods ol
preparing camphor for market, says
the Scientific American. The princi-
pal source of supply is in Southern
Japan, and for many years it has been
exported from there in the crude state
only. Recently, and since the great
advance in the drug, caused by its
consumption in the making of celluloid,
plants for the refining of camphor have
been set up in Japan.
DR.. A. G. Boyer who had previous
ly given much time and thought to de-
vising improved methods of procuring
the crude gum and refining it. went 10
Japan as the chemist in charge of a
new enterprise. Previous to setting
up the plant near Hiogo all camphor
left Japan in a crude state and was re-
fined either in Europe or this country.
This caused a great deal of waste from
evaporation. and has prompted capt.
talists to do the refining where the
drug is produced. and thus avoid the
waste and loss which has heretofore
attended its transportation.
About the same time that this plant
was sent to Japan another one pur-
chased by native capital was started.
This shows how quickly the natives
of Japan adopt improved methods OF
trade and manufacture. rather than
be outdone by foreign competitors.
Tho American refinery is composed of
machinery made under the patents OF
w. F. Shines of Philadelphia and IS
able to produce from so 900 to 90 900
pounds OF refined campbcr a month.
The products are of two kinds. One
is sublimed and called flowers of
camphor- which slightly resembles
desiccated cocosnut except that it is
of gummy nature. The other kind
is pressed into cakes of varying
shapes and sizes. but generally about
the size of cake of toilet soap. The
flowers Of camphor is prepared es-
pecially for use in the manufacture of
celluloid.
Since the American refinery has got
into successful operation company
has been formed with a capital of
500 600 to prosecute tho business.
1t is now said that camphor has proved
unsatisfactory in smokeless powder.
