camphor Incoming sc.rcer.

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 he maintained.
One of the reasons why camphor is be-
coming scarcer and dearer is said to be
that it is extensively used in the manu-
facture of celIuloid. AT present cam
phor is mainly produced from the So
called camphor tree, which attains a
gigantic size in Japan, one specimen re-
Gently measured being 115 feet tall,
and having a trunk over 14h feet
In diameter. The tree is common
in China, but as yet the produc-
tion of camphor in that country
is very limited. The camphor tree is q
member of the laurel family, and is re-
lated in genus to the cinnamon tree. 1t
is said that camphor can be produced
from other species of trees. In Borneo
a very aromatic camDhor is obtained
from the natural deposit of gum on the
trunks of species of tree indigenous to
that isiand and Sumatra. Borneo cam
pbor Is rare and very costly.-Youth's

Talks With Travellers.

Yes sir! The most enjoyable
trip l ever took to New York
was over the WABASH. Only
one change of cars in st. Louis:
the finest passenger station in
the world. Fine restaurant and
cafe. Got an elegant supper for
fifty cents.
We arrived in St. Louis as
600 p. m, and left on the WA
BASH NEW YoKK LIMITED at
700 p. M, in the elegant
through sleeper, reaching De-
troit at 9:15 the following morn
ing, Niagara Falls at 4:37 that
afternoon, and arriving at New
York, Grand Central Depot at
700 a. M, just the right time to
get breakfast and attend to-
business.
Oh ! the WABASH is the route
for New York.
By the way, Just write to

FEMININE ELECTRICITY.
The Cnhattering Term "Negative" Ia Still
Much Used.

Much Used.
From the beginning it had been
noticed that there were two kinds OF
electric force, but these were named,
with reckless discourtesy, positive and
negative, as though the second had been
inferior, inactive, merely receptive.
And yet there were suggestions of tn"
true relations of these two forces that
should not have been overlooked. 1t is
recorded that six years after the St.
Petersburg professors fatal expert
ment (about 1880, Robert SPINNER,
when pulling off his stockings in the
evening, remarked that they gave 4
cracking noise and emitted sparks"
BY varied experiments he discovered
that the electricity was most powerful
when silk and worsted stocking had
been worn in the same leg, or, if the
stockings were both of silk, then more
diverting results were obtained when
they were of different colors. Two
white silk stockings or two black ones
gave no electrical Indications. When u
black and white stocking We're with
drawn from the same leg, and then sep
arated, they were SO much inflated that
each showed the entire shape of the leg
and at IL distance of 1s inches they
rushed to meet each other.
Separated by force they would again
become inflated. and be as ready to
rush together as before. When this cx-
pertinent was performed with two
black stockings in one hand and two
white in the other, the repulsion of
those of the same color-their jealousy
and the attraction of those of differ
ent colors would "throw them into agi-
tation and make them catch each at
that of its opposite color at n greater
distance" Plainly this eighteenth
century student had to do with mascu-
line nnd feminine electricity and yet
the unflattering term negative as
applied to the feminine, has persisted
even to our day.-Iarper's Weekly.

A Million In Sight.

| "A Million In Sight.
Under the above caption the Craig
Courier says:
"The Importance of the discovery of
copper ore on Douglas mountain, in the
western part of this county, is gradually
becoming known and at present there
is considerable excitement in that Sec
ton.
john W. Lowell, jr.. who was in
Craig the early part of the week, gave a
WI conyasing report Of affairs at
Doaglas mountain. Nj. L6Weii states
that the Bromide or Hrtch mine as it is
better known, is veritable bonanza
and that conservative men estimate that
there is At least million dollars worth
of ore ID sight in that property at the
present time.
The Hatch mine has been under de-
velopement for several months and now
fine body of rich copper ore is exposed
to view. Shipments have been made
recently and the returns have been sur
prising high. The ore is hauled about
100 miles to Rock Springs and from
there shipped to smelters near Chicago.
"Mr. Lowell says the new camp on
Douglas mouStain is very promising as
other veins ofcopper ore have been dis
covered. He stated that there were
nearly 300 people in the camp and that
the Hatch mine was employing, all told =,
about thirty men. A boarding house
and two saloons have already been
established at the camp and Mr.. Lowell
is having meat market erected there.
He has also arranged for the delivery at
the camp Of seventy-live tons Of ice and
100 tons o, baled hay. Men and teams

Wrec.s of tho baltic Sea.

No part OF the world has such q rec
ord for wrecks as the Baltic sea. In
some years one wreck day occurred.
The greatest number OF wrecks record
ed was 425 in one year and the least
I54. About half of these vessels are
total wrecks and all the crews are lost.
It must be explained, however, that
many of the vessels which sail the Bal
tic seas are old and worn, having failed
10 pass the board of trade survey and
therefore sold to the Swedes and Nor
wesians for the Baltic sea trade.-Chi-
