MAKING FIRECR1CKERS.
From The Popular Science Monthly.

From The Popular Science Monthly.
There we're exported from China during the
year ending June 30 1897. 26'OJ. '33 pounds OF
frecrackers, all from the province Of kwan-
Tung The exports however, represent only a
small portion Of the number manufactured. as
the use of the cracker Is universal all over
China They are used at weddings births. fu-'
neras. at festivals. religious and civil. and. in
fact on all occasions out of the ordinary routine
The United States Consul-General at Shang-
hal gives the following account OF the industry:
There are no large factories, the crackers are
made in small houses and in shops where they
are sold. In making them only the cheapest
kind Of straw paper is used for the body of the
cracker. little finer paper is used for the
wrapper 4 piece of straw paper, nine by thr-
ty inches. will make twenty-One crackers an
inch and a half long and quarter inch in di-
ameter The powder is also of the cheapest
grade. and is made in the locality where used.
For the fuse a paper called leather IN
Shanghai is used which Is imported from ia
pan. and IS made from the inner linlng or the
bamboo In other places fine rice paper is
used generally stiffened slightly with buck
wheat -four paste. which the Chinese say adds
to It's innammab lty. strip of this paper one
third of an inch wide by fourteen inches ca
Chinese fooD long is laid on table. and very
little powder put down the middle Of it with
hollow bamboo stick \ quick twist Of the pa
per makes the fuse ready for use.
The straw paper is first rolled by hand around
iron rod. which varies in size according 10
the size Of the cracker to be made. To COM
plete the rolling a rude machine is used. This
consists of two uprightS supporting axis
from which is suspended. by two arms, heavy
piece Of wood, slightly convex the lower
side. There is just room between this swing
ing block and the top Of the table to place the
cracker. AS each layer Of paper is put on by
hand, the cracker is placed on the table and the
suspended weight is drawn over the roll. thus
tightening it until no more can be passed under
the weight.
For the smallest whip" crackers the work
man uses for compression, instead Of this ma
chine. heavy piece of wood fitted with han
die like that of a carpenters plane In filling
crackers. two hundred to three hundred
tightly tied together in a bunch. Red clay is
spread over the end Of the bunch. and forced
into the end Of each cracker with a punch.
While the clay is being treated a little water
is sprayed on IT, which makes it pack closer
The powder is poured in at the other end Of the
cracker With the aid OF an awl the edge of the
paper is turned in at the upper end Of the crack
er. and the fuse Is inserted through this. The
long ends Of the fuses are braided together in
such a way that the crackers lie in two parallel
rows.

THE IPECAO MARKET CORNERED.
THE BRAZILIAN VARIETY VERY sCARcE-A POS
sIBLE SUBSTITUTE.

THE BRAZILIAN VARIETY VERY SCARCE-A POS-
sGBLE SUBSTITUTE.
Ten or twelve years ago one could buy all the
Rio ipecac root he wanted for 81 % an ounce
Now it costs 81 % and it is quite as likely 10
grow more expensive as to become cheaper. Inc
supply has almost ceased. and the worlds STOCK
Is said to be in the hands Of few American
dealers.
There is much talk however at the present
time about the fitness Of the Carthagena or
New-Granada root as an efficient SUBSTITUTE
for the Brazilian article At least two points OF
difference have been noticed between the two.
One is merely in appearance. When cut open.
the Carthagena root shows certain rings less
distinctly than does that from Rio. The other
distinction Is more important. The alkaioid upon
which the Brazilian ipecac depends for its ac-
tivitv is known as "emetine" This IS FOUND 70
only a small degree in the Carthagena root The
characteristic principle Of the latter is known
&C "cephpline" and it's action is somewhat un-
like that Of emetne.
Commenting on the situation a week or TWO
ago THE American Druggist" expressed sur
nrise that more study had not been given to
cephaaline by experts than it has thus far re-
ceived Whenever new varieties of a vegetable
drug are discovered, it is customary to inVesti-
gate them with great particularly. Thus far
however. the physiological chemists are unable
to speak with confidence about the active prin-
cple of the New Granada root.
one secret Of the diminution in the output or
Rio irecac is the labor Of digging the roots. The
operation involves bending over. and is said 10
be exceedingly tiresome. But this is also true
Of the Carthagena root. The real explanation
therefore. is probably the discovery by the Bra
zilians that rubber culture is just now more
profitable than digging ipecac.
