The annual repor. of the state

which has just been completed, con-
tains several very interesting facts.
among others the statement that the
stock capitalization of street railways
per mile Of road is greater than the
average cost of steam railways and
their equipments in the United States.
This is stated to be due in large
measure to the over-capitalization OF
several companies combining, whereby
the amount of stock issued in the con-
solidated company is invariably great
er than the combined capital of the
several companies. Another unlock
ed for fact is brought to light by the
statistics of the past year. and that
is that the combined receipts of all the
street railway companies in the state
has largely decreased from that OF
past years. On this point Maj. Brown.
chief of the bureau. says: I'm all prob
ability the use OF the bicycle by busi-
ness people and pleasure seekers is
the prolific source OF the reduction in

Natural Pcrfume. and E...nee..


The preparation OF natural essences,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly, is stiil genuine agricultural
industry. Flowers and leaves are the
raw material. and they have to be
treated fresh. The original laborato-
ries are therefore generally established
very near where the plants can enjoy
the most favorable climatic conditions.
Hence the crude essences generally
come to us from various distant re-
gions-essence of ilang from Manila, of
geranium from Reunion and Algeria,
OF lemon and citron from Ceylon and
China. etc. But as the imported mate
riaIs are generally scandalously adul-
terated, European manufacturers have
been impelled to bring home such of
the crude material as will bear trans
portation. So sandalwood, cloves, pat
chouli leaves and vetivert grass roots
brought dried and with their scents
unimpaired are distilled in France and
Germany rather than in the countries
of their origin. The most important
center of this manufacture is the little
city of Grasse, near Nice and Cannes.
which. besides being large center of
production for the distillation of
plants and woods, is the chief place
where these special processes, which
have been transmitted through ages.
and are the only ones for the extrac-
ton OF the perfumes of flowers, are in
use. The only chemical agents en-
ployed in these processes are vapor
and fat The manufactures of artifi-
cial perfumes, on the other hand, are
real laboratories of chemical products
where the habitual agents of chemical
industry are employed, requiring the
intervention of chemists and engineers,
and are established by preference at
the great industrial centers.
