Cam phOr BecOming ecarccr.

Most Of the worlds supply of cam.
phor comes from Japan and Formosa.
OF late years the demand has begun
to exceed the supply. and the question
has arisen how the latter can be main.
tained. One Of the reasons why cam.
phor Is becoming scarcer and dearer Is
said to be that 1t II extensively used
In the manufacture Of celluloid. At
present camphor IL mainly produced
from the so.called camphor.trec, which
attains a gigantic size In Japan, one
specimen recently measured being 10
feet tall, ana having u trunk over Ian,
feet In diameter. The tree IL common
In China, but rs yet the production of
camphor In that country Is very lin
tied. The can,phor-trce IL a member
Of the laurel family, and Is related In
genus to the cfnifwmon- tree. 1t Is said
that camphor can be produced from
other species OF trees. ? In Borneo a
very aromatic camphor Is obtained
from the natural deposits Of gum on
the trunks Of species Of tree indi.
genous to that island and Sumatra.

In these times, when we can put n cir

this globe Of ours seems small enough

tent? Who can compass In Ills mind

Ijenis Kearney used to tell us the
Chinese were ''mOon-cycd lepers." My
old friend Bret Harte dubbed them
heathens. Our enlightened government
pr0scvibes them as things accursed.
Yet In that marvellous nation has gone
on for immemOrial years a civilization
and an Industry which were brilliant
when Europe was a fen peOpled by saw.
ages and America an undreamed Of
wilderness.
They had literature before the
Egyptians. and wise one, too. They
had printing when the European world
was chaos. They had art when II
was an unknown thing. except. per.
haps, TO tho Egyptians, and to then.
only In a primitive way. They were
the inventors Of glass, and centuries
upon centuries before European ship
penetrated to the Indian ocean their
junks traded glassware to the ports OF
the Persian gulf. The Arabs. with cut.
ting tools procured from the Chinese,
engraved this Chinese glass with Arab
emblems, and SO stole the claim to In.
ventiOn.
When the Chinese commenced to
make pottery Is unknown. From pot.
terry to porcelain, from porcelain to
glazed porcelain the progress went on.
They cut jewels with miserable tools,
which now almost battle the mechani.

made coral jewel when Italy was un.
known. They carved jade, an appar.
entity worthless mineral, intractable
and brittle, into the most ingenious Of
artistic forms. Their silks We're the
silks of the world, for there We're no
others. And through all these aeOns,
with all their capriciOus changes OF dy.

Perpetual Motion?

Perpetual motion has been tho dream
of the inventor almost ever since the
first invention of any kind was per.
fected. Pliny says that In his time
there were machines which the inven-
tors claimed would work. without stop.
ping. for an indefinite length of time,
and In the patent office Of every gov
eminent of the world there are hun.
dreds Of devices for securing this end.
One authority states that In the patent
office at Washington there are over
1000 such appliances, for each OF which
the inventor hoped success. The per.
petual motion machines however, have
never succeeded, and never will until
men succeed In overcoming friction,
the inertia of matter and gravita ton
and also In finding material that will
never wear out.

A Terrific Seo.FiRht.

The Prince Of Monaco has recently
announced his intention to send his
yacht on an expedition Of discovery
among the haunts Of the sperm. whale
This leads Mr.. Frank T. Bullen to re.
late In Nature some Of his experiences
with whales, and he tells story Of
q fight OF sea-monoters in the Strait Of
Malacca which reads like a romance.
The fight occurred In a smooth sea
on q moonlight night, and Mr.. Bullen
watched 1t from the deck OF ship
with the aid OF a night-glass. His at.
tentiOn was first attracted by a CON-
motion In the water, which he sup
posed might be caused by a volcanic
disturbance Of the sea-bed. EXamin-
alton with the glass showed very
large sperm-whale engaged In deadly
conflict with monster squld, or devil
fish, whose tentacles encircled the
whales body. "The livid whiteness of
those writing arms which enlaced
the cachalot (whale) like nest Of
mighty serpents stood out In bold re-
lief against the black. boulder-like
head OF the agressor." The aggressor
was the whale, sqnlds being a favorite
prey of sperm-whales. presently the
whale raised itself half out Of water
and we plainly saw the awful. Hooking
head Of the gigantic mollusk. At our
distance, something under mile, It
appeared about the size Of one OF our
largest Oil-casks, which held 1896 gal
Ions. Like the rest Of the squid visible
1t was Of a peculiar dead white. and
In 1t cleaned two eyes of inky black.
ness about foot in diameter. 10 de-
scribe, the wonderful contortions of
those two monsters Is far hey ond my
powers. All around the combatants
were either smaller whales or immense
sharks who were evidently assisting
in the destruction OF the sQuid, and get
ting full share of the feast. Mr.. Bull
len says the encircling tentacles grad
ually slipped off the whales body, and
the fight ended In an evident triumph
for the whale.

establishment of another newspaper. for
which enterprise be had asked the val'l
able help of Goethe and Of the men Of let
tiers who, under the patronage Of Goethe.
had established themselves in We:mar.
Goethe goes on to say that if Gotta 5 ed
itors can so forget themselves as to bring
personalities into newspapers devoted to
politics, and in that way lead other papers
which have too much honor to originate
such scandals into reprinting the same as
matter which, having been once pub
,lished, is public property, then one must
really say thai Germany is attacked by an
internal corruption (Faulness) much more
dangerous to her than the attacks OF the
foreign powers which threaten her.
I'VE all we'll know" he says, "that
Peace, like stagnant water, breeds this
kind of vermin, but when it appears in
time OF war it is particularly repugnant.
II am angry at myself not because say
this NOW. but because have not called
your attention to it before. -
He makes a further alluson to their
friendship, wereit not for which he would
accuse Gotta Of attempting to darken and
destroy "that one little shining point Of
Germany meaning Weirnar, which AFT
ter all protected and made q home for
your friends and companions Herder,
Schiller, and myself.
II am old enough to understand fully
the consequence OF this. Therefore do
you as seems best to you. demand from
the newspapers which you publish no
more courtesy than others who under
stand how to respect themselves observe
toward me-"
With a suggestion that in quieter times
and with a quieter mind he might have
said these things in other language, and
with the hope that what he had said may
work the best results. this letter closes.
One gets from it curiously distinct pic
ture of a great poet in hunlor most unu-
sual to him, the most self-possessed and
most self-refiant Of men.
1t would be interesting to know what
Gotta wrote in reply, aud whether he di-
rected the editor OF the Timer Zeitung to
make retraction and solemnly agree that
Miss Vulpils was not an extraordinarily
fortunate Young lady. and that. such d
marriage was not at all unusual occasion.
Twenty years e:fter, in 1925, Goethe
made new contract with Gotta for a new
edition. by the terms of which the latter
agreed to pay 10000 thalers for the exclu-
tsiye right to prfnR his works for twelve
years, with the promise to pay s120, 600 tha-
lers If 10000 copies were sold. As he
made this agreement with Gotta when
many publishers competed and offered
higher figures.5it is probable that he, had
long before Forgotten the injury which he
felt so deeply IN 16606.
