ABOUT CAMPHOR.
How the OdOriferOus Drug Is Obtain
ed From the Trees.

How the OdOriferOus Drug Is Obtain
ed From the Trees.
United States Department of Agriculture.
Notwithstanding the comparatively mar
row limits of its natural environment, the
camphor tree grows we'll in cultivation
under widely different conditions. 1t has
become abundandy naturalized in NADIA
gascar. 1t f1ourishes at Buenos Ayres.
1t thrives in Egypt, in the Canary Islands,
in Southeastern France and in the San
Joaquin Valley in California, where the
summers are hot and dry. Large trees,
at least 200 years old, are growing in the
temple courts at Toxic where they are
subjected to a winter of seventy to eighty
nights of frost, with an occasional mini
mum temperature as low as u degrees to
16 degrees Fahrenheit. The conditions for
really successful cultivation appear to be
minimum winter temperature not below
20 degrees Fahrenheit, fifty inches or more
of rain during the warm growing season,
and abundance of plant food rich in nj
trogen. In the native forests in Formosa,
Fukien and Japan, camphor is distilled
almost exclusively from the wood of the
trunks, roots and larger branches.
The work is performed by hand labor,
and the methods employed seem rather
crude. The camphor trees are felled, and
the trunks. larger limbs and sometime the
roots are cut into chips, which are placed
in a wooden tub about forty inches high,
and twenty inches in diameter at the base,
tapering toward the top like an old-fash-
toned churn. The tub has a tight-ftting
cover, which may be removed to put in
the chips bamboo tube extends from
near the top of the tub into the condenser.
This consists of two wooden tubs of diff
ferent sizes, the larger one right side up,
kept about two-thirds full of water from
a continuous stream which runs out of
hole in one side The smaller one is in
verified with its edges below the water,
forming an alright chamber.
This air chamber is kept cool by the
water falling on the top and running down
over the sides. The upper part Of the air
chamber 10 sometimes filled with clean
rice straw, on which the camphor crys-
talizes, while the oil drips down and coll
lects on the sur face OF the water. In some
cases the camphor and oil are allowed TO
collect together on the surface of the wa
ter. and are afterwards separated by fit
ration through rice straw or by pressure.
About twelve hours are required for dis
tilling a tubful by this method Then the
chips are removed and dried for use in the
furnace, and new charge Is put in. At
the same time the camphor and oil are re-
moved from the condenser. By this meth
cd twenty to forty pounds of chips are re-
ouIred for one pound of crude camphor.

nal who has ever figured in the states
history, will pay the death penalty for
the murder of her husband.
Mrs. Mobiles was frs sentenced TO be
hanged on August 18th, 1895, but her
attorneys, paid by many women OF the
state who banded together to have her
sentence COMMITTED, fought the case
through all the courts.
News nov comes from Washington that
the United States supreme court To-Day
reviewed the decisions Of the Georgia SUI
preme cou,t in the case of Mrs. Mobiles,
convicted of the murder of her husband.

denied her. The result of the decision Is

50 long delayed.

Judge Sheffield conducted the court
in business-like way, and disposed of
more cases IN the two weeks in which it
was in session than were probably ev-
er before disposed of here IN the same
length of time. The criminal docket
was especially heavy, and all of last

pleas of guilty and convictions in only
four felony cases. Giles Kimbrough.

a kind lecture to the boys, suspended
their sentences and gave them three
