easily broken and proof against acids and aka
lies, it is recommended to dissolve to parts of
collodion wool soluble pyroxylin or guncotton),
in part of ether or alcohol, and mix the solu-

Canada balsam. A little zinc white gives the ap-
pearance of ivory. The infiammability is claim
ed to be less than that of other collodion plates
and is made still less by magnesium chloride.

Trade of South Africa.

When peace Is once more restored in
South Africa, there will be wonderful
revival of trade with that part Of the
world; and If the people of this country
are alive to their interests, the United
States ought to get larger share than
it has ever enjoyed in the past. Consul
General Stowe, at Cape Town, in a re-
port to the department, has pointed out
a number of opportunities in that direc-
ton which it lies with American manu-
facturers and dealers to utilize. OF

offers the sole reason why the United

ance. The figures above show many d.

SENATOR POSTERS GRAZING BILL.

Many think that the government ex-
ceeds Is authority IL It should allow this
bill to become a law. These lands are a
part Of the public domain and should
pass title by actual sale only. While the
lease Is no title 1t is far more injurious,
az 1t throws these lands into the hands
OF corporations. who will find 1t cheaper
than owning lands on which they have
to pay taxes..-Ellensburg Localizer.
While the opportunity to lease would
doubtless be open to all. 1t seems inevit-
able that In the end the grazing lands
now open to all would be controlled by
few wealthy individuals or large eorpor-
atoms. This would be cause for vigor-
GUS complaint on the part of those oper-
ating on a smaller scale. The only COM

able to see. would be that the stock rais-
