A Product of the Orient That Is Used for
Many Purposes.
Boston Globe
What makes your derby stiff? Shellac.
What is sealing-wax? Shellac principally.
What is shellac? 1t is the product of
composite mass that is found on the young
twgs and branches OF the butea, croton
ana other trees that grow in the countries
of the East Shellac is consumed in great
quantities all over the world in COM
merce and ia arts. 1t Is kept in the shops
and warehouses in large hogsheads. 1t
varies in color and thinness and is trans
parent 1t comes in broken pieces of IT.
regular sizes, some of it being very thin.
The crude mass from which shelac is OBJ
tanned is produced by small insect (COcars
lacca) resembling somewhat the cOchineal.
The insect is Matched, natures and dies ON
these twigs A number of female insects,
with few males, fasten themselves upon
the tender twig and puncture the bark. A
tenacious fluid exudes and euvelops them.
The insects feed upon this juice, derive their
nourshment from it and deposit their
eggs within 1t. The males only have wings,
and as soon as the females begin to die q
few females and the males go to other trees.
After the females that remain in this gela-
tinous mass have deposited their eggs and
have died. the eggs hatch out the young
insects. The young burrow through
the dead bodies of their mothers
to the surface of the mass and
then cover the neighboring branches.
The eggs are deposited close to the bark, so
that they are protected by their mothers
bodies and by the mass that has exuded and
envelOped the female insects. Finally the
young twigs are completely covered with a
thick, hard. resin0us substance. When the
females die the frames of their bodies form
little cells like those OF a honeycomb. As a
result of decomposition there are the ele-
~t,o 6 ft,l r.Nl.. A.,o
When these twigs have been sufficiently
of the countries in which these trees grow
them into small sticks. These pieces are
called sticklac. These broken twigs are
immersed in hot water and the hot. resinous
substance Is kneaded by the hands to press
out the purple dyestua After the gela-
tnous mass has become sufficiently
soft it is taken out and dried. 1t
is then put into coarse cloth bags
and suspended close to the charcoal fires.
Presently the mass begins TO melt. BY
twisting the bags the mass is squeezed out,
dropping onto fat sticks placed for that pur-
pose AS ii is dropping from the bags it
hardly strikes the sticks before it is cooled
by the air. II forms iuto thin cakes as it is
deposited on these sticks or narrow, fiat
boards and dries. These cakes or sheets
are called sbellac. AS the melted mass is
dropping from the cloth bags small drops
unavoidaby fail to the ground and dry In
little round bodies called cottoniac. Other
and larger pieces that also fall to the
ground and dry are called platelac.

candidate for Governor on the Democratic
ticket l have known the Stone family
ever since they moved to Nevada, and
heard Bill Stone plead his first case. 1t
was a good many years ago-more than
twenty, anyway. l do not remember the
name of the Judge, but notorious horse
lief was up for trial on charge OF steal
ing cattle. as he had no counsel the court
appointed Bill Stone to defend the case.
''Stone took his man over to WINDOW
and talked to him for few minutes, then
announced that he was ready for trial. We
plead guilty, your Honor. to the charge
against us announced the young lawyer.
The court wasted no time in giving ver-
diet, for hOrse-stealing was heinouS CffehSe
in those days in this part OF the country. and
condemned the man to fifteen years IN the
pententiary.
''But. Judge, we plead guilty. yelled
Stone, expressions of amaZement and disap-
pointment alternating on his face.
" Fifteen years. repeated The Judge.
" but. Judge. we plead guilty, repeated
Bill Stone. raising his long arms like wind
mills. But the Judge was obdurate.
IF that is the case said Stone, we viii
argue the case and he forthwith started
in upon the defense. For thirty minutes
he argued and pleaded with that eloQuence
that is characteristic of him, and at the end
of his harangue he sat down anu watched
the effect Of his words. The Judge smiled
and made the sentence five years. Bill
Stone had won his iirst case
