HOW TuRPsNTrNE Is MADE


The Coffsrtfnw of Pine sap BY the shfftiess
People Of the soath-
Throughout the entire long-leaved
pine region Of the south the work of
gathering turpentine affords a means
of livelihood for a considerable portion
of the population Beginning in the
spring the trees are bowed which
operation consists in making an incis-
ion in the trunk. at about three feet
from the ground. of sufficient capacity
to hold a quart OF more of the oil just
above the box slight portion OF the
bark Is removed to expose the surface
of the wood. this scoring being in v
shape with the point down toward the
box so that the exudstions will drip
into that As many trees are thus pre-
pared as the operator can attend to
through the season and are then left
for the oil to gather. At the end Of a
week. IL the weather has been good
the exudatious being much more rapid
in warm weather than when il IS cool
IL wi be necessary to remove another
strip of bark and 80 expose fresh sur
face. The work of the season consists
in visiting the trees regularly to make
these incisious ami to remove the oil
from the boxes as they fill up. That is
a slow prccesS, a month or more being re
quired for the accumulation Of quart
As gathered, it Is put into barrels and

ally termed virgin. quantity Of gum
congeals upon the surface of the tree
where the bark has been removed
This is also gathered by scraping the
trunk, and from the method OF collect
ing Is given the technical name of
'-scrapc." IL is much less valuable
than the virgin. as it contains less tur-
pentine. The -'>tiII- is usually an un-
pretentious affair. hardly more than a
shanty of pine slabs. aud is situated
either in the heart of the pine woods
or near convenient railway station
II contains brick-iuc1sed kettle Of a
few barrels capacity. aud a worm for
condensing. By means of the worm
the turpentine is first volatilized and
then condensed and drawn off. leaving
the heavier product, the rosin, in the
kcttle- This in turn Is drawn into a
vat. which is covered by n course
screen. over which sheets Of cotton are
placed. and through this the rosin is
strained and all chips and other inn
purities are removed
The occupation of gathering the tur-
psntine has been followed chiefly by
the shiftie>s natives and the negroes
who have preferred few months Of
such employment to the more se-er>
and cxaeting demands Of the farm o.

is Is not generally known that the
planet Mars l. marked BY parallel
hands. the origin Of which have been
the source Of endless controversy.
Prom delicate measurements e has
been established that these bands are
frUra ten 10 q hundred miles in width.
and is was at first supposed that they
were atmospheric phenomena bat of
late many incline TO believe that they
are canals or stupeudOus WATERWAYS.
The interesting theory that the
canals" of the planet Mars are actu-
ally the work OF the inhabitants of
that globe has perhaps never had so
authoritative recognition as has Just
been given TO Il BY the distinguished
French astronomer. NJ Faye Il Ia
worth while to read his own words on
this subject. as he addressed them 70
the Academy of Sciences in Paris re-
Gently Referring to the theory stated
above, he said:
For ny part incline to adopt this
view professionally. I imagine that
under the alnos. constantly clear sky
of Mars, in the absence OF formulating
rains and fertilizing rivers. the con
struction OF these immense canals be-
came necessary in order to conduct The
slightly saline water of the shallow
seas over the low-lying continents
Il suppose that the labor of making
those canals must have been singular
II facilitated bv the feebleness of grav-
ity and the slight density OF tie
superficial layers.which Il sufficed caly
to scratch, so TO speak. In order to
make way for the water But I an
quite ready also 10 accept other views,
II it is possible to make the numerous
details that we possess upon this plane,
accord better with them
The idea that beings resembling men
should be able to construct canals av-

thousands OF miles in aggregate length
