he once saw occasion to punish his Chinese
ma-tu. or groom. Calling the native into his
bedroom. he locked the door and announced
his intention to the intended victim. "Allo

result At the expiration OF five minutes All

MAKING cAMPHoR GUM.

One Of the Growing Industries ~ Er.-
mosa.
One of the chief industries Of Formoso
is the manufacture of camphor pnm
from the camphor laurel tree. n =
fairly profitable work. but, as described
IN British foreign Office report the
difficulties connected with il are bv No
means light In the first place. the
camphor laurel grows in savage terri
tory only, and the hillmen or Hakkas
who border on that territory, have to
make monetary or other arrangements
with the savage chiefs to protect or
refrain from destroying, the stoves or
stills which the farmers set up in their
country.
These arrangements are. a. a ru1a
very unsatisfactory, for as soon ne
!, .rouoie arises no matter what may
have been the cause, Aey proceed with
out delay to vent their resentment on
the stills, which are promptly de-
stroyed. Several foreign firms are en-.
gagged in the trade, and their method
of conducting the business is worthy
of notice. Advances are made to the
hiilmen on condition that thew set mn
certain number of stoves. supply |
monthly liked amount of camphor at
price agreed upon, and repay the
ldvances by installments at . certain
tated periods. Bonds are entered into
md securities are given by the hillmen
or the due performance of their con-
racts; but there is an agreement be-
ween the Chinese and the foreign con- I,
uiar authorities that consulaf assist
nee cannot be invoked for the recovery

ness.
