How C&mphOr Is Made.

Canphor is the result Of evaporating
as essential oil found in two different
trees, the cinnsmomum camphora,
which grows in China and Japan, and
the dipterocarpus camphora, of Suma-
ira and Borneo; from these two trees
it is obtained in very different man
ners. In the cinnamomum it exists IN
root and branch, stems and leaves,
which are chopped small and put into
earthern vessels, which are heated !;
these vessels are covered with hoods
and rice straw is placed il them; the
camphor is yolatilized and rises; it
condenses on the straw, from which
it is afterward cleared. In the dip
terocarpus it is found in the trunk in
q solid form, and it is obtained by cut
ting the tree down and splitting it
open it is found in pieces from one to
two feet long and about as thick as q
mans arm. A moderate sized tree will
yield about ten pounds of camphor, a
larger one about twice that quantity.
This kind is more highly esteemed than
the other, so that in Japan two hun
dred pounds of native camphor are
valued at one pound or the Bornean.-

Mr. Louis Sells, the circus man,
used to live in Cleveland. He came
up from Columbus the other day and
lcalled on some old friends In re-

about how thelate Edwin Cowles got

formance was to be given at Brain.
ards Hall one night and Mr. Cowles
got all the complimentary tickets
sent to the Office so he could go and
take his family.
The 'Tat contributor" was ''do-

then, and it was his business to 60 to
the show and write it up. Griswold
didn't feel like going to the show, so
he got a program and wrote it ~ ~

Glowing Clouds.

Recent observations seem to have
substantiated DR.. G. j. Stoney's funda-
mental doctrine that the glowing
clouds OF the pboto-sphere, from which
the suns radiation is mainly dis
pensed, are formed of carbon. Accord
ing to this view, advanced many years
ago, those patches of brilliant light
exhibited in solar photographs epa-
nate from sooty incandescent clouds,
hundreds of miles in length and
breadth. It is we'll known that the
fame of an ordinary candle, or of an
ordinary gas jet, derives its luminosity
from the presence of minute particles
of incandescent carbon. 1t is also to
the same element that we are indebted
for the electric light, whether in the
form of the arc lamp or the incan-
descent flament. It would now seem
IS if the great luminary itself owed
its surprising lustre to the presence Of
mighty glowing clouds of the identi-
,sl substance to which onr ordinary
methods of illumination are 80 much
indebted York Telegram.

how the Office Boy Collectee

An insignificant, freckie-faceo,
but decidedly pugnacious youngster
created quite row in the Nucleus
Building. He was employed by a
medical and surgical institute, and
couldn't get his wages. As substi-
tute he took charge Of the premises
locking out the men who run the
establishment and holding the tort
against all comers He was cajoled
and threatened, but neither threats
nor Establishments could induce him
to open the door.
Whoever raped for admittance his
reply was the same:
"If you want to get in here just
shove S5 under the door,
But" said one visitor, II only
want to talk to you"
Then 90 and get telephone,
was the sententious reply.
After a great deal Of difficulty the
boy was dislodged, but it was not be.

were looking for money with no par.

The New Substitute for Powder.

Aweek ago the new cruiser Spartan
went out into Plymouth Sound, Eng.
land, to try her quick-6ring six-inch
guns with cordite cartridges. AS this
was the first time that cordite had been
used with guns of this description the
greatest interest was manifested in the
firing. Everything went very well, the
cordite cartridges of thirteen and a
half pounds easily performing tho work
of black powder ones of twerty-nine
and three-quarter pounds. But only
few rounds were fred from each
gun.

its advantages for short time; what

rounds, We were promised We should

DANGERS Of the Passenger Elevator.

Dangers Of the Passenger Elevator.
The oyercrowding of the elevators
fn some of the public buildings
which ire ,uently occurs during the
busy parts Of the day: Is occasionally
productive of embarrassing situa-
tioas The other day happened to
be in one in which there was also a
very bashful young malone who
can scarcely be induced to speak to
lady, and yet one from whom any
lady might feel complimented on re-
ceiging attention. When the eleya-
tor started on its upward trip. there
was not even room for one more. The
occupants were squeezed together in
extremely close communion, and the
eleyatorsmoved extremely slow. Our
hashful friend hau been imprisoned
between three handsome girls who
were just old enough to appreciate
the situation and not so old as to
have any compunctions about enjoy
Ing it. One stepped on his toes and
the poor fellow dared not ask her to
remove her dainty heel; another
seized his arm in apparent fright
when the elevator stopped suddenly,
and then forgot to let 80, while the
third kept her gaze seemingly un-
consciously riveted on his face, which
was the color Of peony, and Silently
challenged him with her eyes to re-
turn the compliment But he looked
everywhere but in her direction,
though he could feel her gaze, and
his sigh Of relief when at last the
elevator stopped at his floor, was un-
mis-, akably sincere.
When talking over the above in
cident with a friend few minutes
afterward, he told me that he him
self had been caught in just such a
Tx on one occasion, but that he
rather enjoyed it until he went home,
and then, as his wife was helping
him off with his overcoat, and came
across couple Of dark hairs twined
around one of the butto1s-her own

that appearances were decidedly

KNITTED DRESS FOR INFANTS
How to Hear q Color.

One Of the most wonderful discov-
cries in science that has been made
within the last year or two is the fact
that beam Of light produces sound.
According to Milling, 8 beam Of SUM-
light is thrown through a lens on
glass vessel that contains lampblack,
colored silk or worsted, or other SUBJ
stances. A disk, having Sits or open
ings cut in it, is made to reyolTe
swiftly in this beam of light, SO as to
cut it up, thus making alternate flashes
of light and shadow. On putting the
ear to the glass vessel, strange sounds
are heard so long as the flashing beam
is falling on the vessel
Recently more wonderful discov.
nv has been made. A beam OF sun
light is caused to pass througha prism
so as to produce what is called solar
spectrum or rainbow. The disk Is
turned and the colored light of the
rainbow is made to break through it.
Now place the ear to the vessel con-
tanning the silk, wool or other mate"
rial. As the colored lights of the spec
trum fall upon it sounds will be given
by different parts of the spectrum, and
there will be silence in other parts.
For instance, if the vessel contains red
worsted, and the green light flashes
upon it, loud sounds will be given.
Only feeble sounds will be heard If
the red and blue parts Of the rainbow
fall upon the vessel, and other colors
make no sound at all. Green silk gives
sound best in red light. Every kind
of material gives more or less cound
in different colors, and utters no sound
in others. Transcript.

A TEST OF SERVANTS.

Some years ago the Russian Am
bassador at Ccnstantinople entertained
distinguished party at dinner, and
after the disappearance OF the
comestibles when the soothing cigar
shed its benign influence around them,
and helped or impeded digestion be-
meath their respective diaphragms,
the conversation, which had been de-
sultory, turned upon the discipline
maintained'in the several forces repre-
serted.
81 assure you, gentlemen" said q
Russian General who was present,
'that my servant Ivan, an old
campaigner, can be dispatched upon
an errand to any part of the town, and
I will tell you tc an instant the time

As some appeared rather IN
credulous, Ivan was summoned

road ; now he is being served; now he
is returning" Then, after another
pause, and replacing his watch, ''Now,
gentlemen, he is here"
'Ivanl"
AS he uttered the word the servant
entered the apartment with the cigars.
All agreed that it was very cleverly
done, with the exception of an obese
and guileless Pasha, who opined that
it was nothing out of the way, and
boastfully asserted that discipline
among the Faithful was, if anything,
superior to that of any other country,
and to prove the veracity of his state
ment announced his intention Of per
forming similar feat.
His servant was summoned accord
ingly.
'.Ali," said the Pasha, 81 wish you
to go to the tobacconist by the bridge
and get me box Of cigars. Here is
the money. Now, gentlemen" said
he, initiating the Russian, and con-
sulting his watch, ''he leaves the
house. Now" after pause, "he is
at the end of the street. Now he
crosses the road; now he is being
served; now he is returning" Then
after another pause, and replacing his
watch, "Now, gentlemen, he is here. !"

individual, entering with profusioa
of salaams
"Well, where are the cigars?"

ply, amid which the humiliated Pashs
retiredto order dose of the bastinado
