Applications of CnIInIose.

Prof. c. \. Sllberad has described
some of the recent applications of cell
lulose OF these the best known is
celluloid, whirh is made Of combna-
ton of camphor and pyroXylinc. 1t
may be obtained either by direct adj
dition of pyrOXyline to melted cam
phor, or by strongly COMPRISING the
two together, or, lastly, Ivy dissolving
the two In some common solvent, rs
ethcr-alcohol. The product is trans
lucent mass, which is worked between
rollers, first in the cold. and then at
higher temperature. 1t is next sub
jected TO hydraulic pressure at tenn
perature Of about 80 degrees contigrade
for twenty-four hours, and dried for
several days at n moderate heat, after
being cut into sheets of desired thick
ness. The substance is then quite
homogeneous, and may be cut and
turned in the cold or nodded under
pressure at higher temperature. 1t
is readily colored by pigments or dyes,
which can be either mechanically
mixed in state Of powder or dissOlv-
ed with the camphor in the alcohol.
lOIlOlSc slltll IL w Nclu-
ing together alternate plates of differ
emily tinted celluloids. Another appli-
cation of cellulose is to the manufact-
ure Of vegetable parchment, or parch-
ment paper.
II the cellulose sc rapidly passed
through moderately strong sulphuric
acid and then wei washed in water,
1t acquires properties very similar to
those of parchment, instead of which
ii Is extensively used. Another form

lation forms Il gelatinous mass which
gradually shrinkS but in such manner
as to form an exact miniature of the

All the sulphur and alkali are found in
the liquid which separates from the
shrunken mass. In view of the newt
ably failing supplies Of ivory and the
established success of the ebonite and
cellulOid manufacturers, this material
is destined to attain great commercial
importance. None of the materials re
quired In its production are expensive;
it is free both from the brittleness OF
ebontite and the inflammability of cell
luloid, while the readiness with which
it can be obtained in any desired shape
gives it a marked superiority over eth
er Of these products.
