GAMBLER IN COMMERCE.
A Much Used Product About Which
Little Is Known.
81 Innfs Pnst.nianatch

ST. Louis Post-Dispatch.
There are perhaps few substances more
widely. if indirectly, used and at the same
time less known to those outside the imme-
diate industry concerned than gambler.
The very name is unfamiliar TO the general
public while any knowledge of the origin
and mode OF preparation of gambler is uu-
common.
Gambler is very extensively employed in
the dyeing and tanning industries, and a
large number of materials and articles of
daily use have In the course or their manu-
factuTe been treated with the substance
under consideration. Gambler is, moreover,
a valuable medicine.
Similar in chemical composition to ordi-
nary catechu, gambler is obtained by boil
ing the leaves and twigs of the uncaria
gamblr plant, native OF the East, and
found either wild or cultivated in the
Straits Settlements and JOhore, as well as
in Java and Sumatra. Uncaria gambir be-
longs to the natural order rubiaceR, in which
are also embraced the ciuchonas ur Quinlne-
yielding plants, as we'll as coffee. The
flowers are small and crowded together,
and the plant itself Is n strong, shrubby
climber Gambler appears to have been
used In India for dyeing purposes from
very remote period, but its introduction
into Europe commenced with the present
century.
The manufacture of gambler is still con-
Quoted on very lines ana Win the
crudest appliances. A plantation is gen.
orally cropped some eighteen months after
beng planted, and cropping may be re-
peated as often as four times year, the
operation being ofttimes conducted with no
sparng hand. The remaining process is
exceedingly simple. The leaves, twigs, etc,
are boiled in rough caldron until the water
In which they are stepped becomes syrup.
The extract is then drawn of, cooled and
stirred until crystalization commences.
The gambler is then cut BY hand into cubes,
dried either by simple exposure TO the air
or by smoke and packed in mats for ex-
portati0n.
The life of gambler plantation averages
only some ten years, and in fifteen years at
latest 1t is abandoned. The capital re-
CURED is very small, and the returns are
rapid; heace the favor with which the
industry is regarded by the Chinese.
Gambler has pale brown or yellow color,
with an even. earthly fracture, the cubes OF
commerce being about au inch square.
There is much variation in the qua ity of
the gambler offered for sale, and the art of
adutcrati0n has penetrated this branch OF
industry.
At one time there are stated to have been
800 plantations in Singapore alone, and the
amount of gambler imported into Great
Britain from the Straits Settlements and
Johore is no less than 10000 tons per annum

EsTHETICIsM IN BIRDS.
They Take Much Delight in the Cor
geOdsness of Their PIunage.
Popular Science MonthIv,

IOpular science Monthly.
There is no doubt that birds take delight
in the gorgeousness of their own feathers,
and the more brilliant their hues the greater
the vanity they display. Conspicuous ex-
amples Of this love OF admiration aud fond
ness of parading their fnery are the pea
cock and bird of paradise. The decoration
of its boudoir by the bower-bird, as de-
scribed by Mr.. Gould in his History of the
Birds Of New South Wales" Indicates a
decided and diScriminative preference for
bright and variegated objects. and eyinces
no small amount Of esthetIc feeling and art
istc taste in selecting and arranging them.
The bower is built OF sticks and slender
twigs gracefully interviewer, so that tho
taperng points meet at the top, and adorned
with the rose-colored tail feathers of the
inca cockatoO aud the gay plumeS of other
parrots. tinted shells, bleached bones, rags
of divers hues, and whatsoever gaudy or
giittering trnkets thatmay have pleased the
birds fancy.
Sometimes the space in front of the bower
is covered with half a buShel of things of
this sort, laid out like a parterre with
winding walks, in which the happy posses
sor of the gaTnered treasures struts about
with the pride and pleasure of a conn0isSenr
in gallery Uf paintings. or q bi bliophiie
who has his shelves filed with iucunabula
and other rare editions. These objects have
often been brought from great distance,
and are of no possible use TO the bird
except as they gratify its love of the beau-
tiful and appeal 10 what we call in man the
aesthetic sense.

A PECULIAR AFRICAN TRIBE.
Descendants of the Moon Receive a
Traveller Like King.


DR.. Baumann, a German explorer, claims
to have searched out the authentic sources
of the Nile, and to have definitely fixed the
position on the modern map Of the ancient
Mountains of the Moon. He traced up the
Kagera River, or. as Stanley desired 10 call
it, the Alexandra Nile, the large stream
which empties itself into the Western Vie
toria Nyanza, within the German sphere Of
influence, and Is believed to form the prin-
ciple affluent of the Great Lake. His first
discovery was that the supposed Lake
Akenyaru is merely lacustrine reach of
the Kagera or of one of its tributaries, and
that in like manner Lake Mworengo is a
stream flowing into Akenyaru.
Following the doublings of the KaGera he
declared that he found himself at length,
being still within the German Protectorate.
at the head waters OF the River Egypt and
at the foot of the precipitous and wooded
mountain range which forms the watershed
between Nile on the one hand aud Tan
ganytka and the kOnGo on the other, aud Is
well known to the natives AS the Mountains
of the Moon. What follows reads like a
chapter from MIR. Rider Haggard.
The natives received the stranger with
demonstrations OF joy. For ages tney were
ruled by kings who we're supposed to be-
lineally descended from the moon, and the
simple Warundi deemed the German the
last OF their kings restored 10 them after a
sojourn above. His clew appears worth
tracing up.

IRELAND'S PARLIAMENT.
The Palny Days of Dueiing, Hard

Never was such time of feasting and

"thirty-six commandments" arranged by
the gentlemen of Galway, formed a COM
plete set of rules on all the punctilos of the
duello. According to the printed rules OF
Galway, seconds, If desrous, may exchange
shots at right angles to their principals, aud

Tempering Large Armor Plates.

a new process Of tempering a 14-inch
Harveyized armor plate was tested at
Bethlehem, Pa, recently. Heretofore this
was done by ejecting ice water against
redhOt plate in a vertical position, with the
result that the water was made boiling the
instant it touched the upper end OF the plate.
and the heated water running down did not
have the proper effect on the rest of the
plate. In the new process the plato was
laid down in a specially prepared frame.
the water was made ice cold by treating 1t
with salt, and was then led to large
sprinkler lowered within one foot oil the
plate. The water was forced through the
sprinkler under great pressure, while the
under side of the sprinkler was kept cool by
water running over it from fixed spigot.
The sprinkling continued for one and
half hours. and the plate was then taken by
a crane and Immersed in the oil baths, there
to remain thirty hours. The Government
officers present regarded the new process as
highty successful.
