CANDLE-MAKING IN SWEDEN,
Some Are Made From Stearin OBJ
tanned From Insects.

w S. Ilarwood has an article IN the
March St. Nicholas on "a Giant Candle a."
describing one Of the unique features at
the Stockholm exposition. Concernlng
candle-maktng in Sweden, Mr. HurNoo
writes:
The candles Of Sweden are not 'dippad"
IN the Old-fashioueO way, but arc made
on what might be called scientific prin-
CiplCS after the experience Of IA GOOD

it's crude state u.s. indeed used in the
manufacture OF these Swedish candies
but IL must pass through long treatment
before 1t yields up the pure stearin from
which tho snowy candles are made.
Some OF this talloW reaches Sweden al
ter long p-iourneyings from South
America, while some of the stearin does
not come from tallow at all. but from
palm-oil gathered ny the natives of Soulb
Africa; and still another supply of stearin
is secured In a curious way-from insect =
shipped from China. The Insects. i'm dy-

The wicks for the candles have first been

As soon as the stcarin has cooled
around the wiCks a Keen knife passes un-

candles in the section are lifted out, ana
another set of wicks, all threaded
through an other set of mulds stands

| watched young woman who was at
work one day in a factory in Sweden
(and the factory, by the way, was located

II seems strange in this day of electric.
ity that there can be found in part OF
the world where civilization has gone a
people who are so generally given over
to candle-light as are the inhabitants of
Sweden. In one year one firm in SN Weldon
manufactures, for the trade CT Sweden
almost exclusively twenty"one millions
of candles of all Sizes from two or three
inches i'm height up to seven feet. In spite
of the introduction Of electricity into the
cities, the people keep using candles and
they even seem to think them q neCes-
sary part of their household effects
During the weeks from the latter part
of May to the first of July YOU will rarely
find any one during the night using an
artificial light of any kind, for the nights
are almost as bright as day. If you
choose to stay up all night during the pc
riod of longest days, you can read the
finest print with ease at any time in the
twenty-four hours, and you can make
photographs if you so wish, all the night
long, with capital results. Up in Lapland,
as late as the twCnty-fifth of July, ! had
excellent results in making photographs
at u o'clock at night, and at 1 and 2
o'clock in the morning; and the only fail
ure | had was i'm one case when | gave
even too much time to the exposure.
