VALUE OF CAMP HOR TREES.
B~y-Products of Formosa's Growth Are
of Considerable Worth.

of Considerable Worth.
Every part Of a camphor tree, even
to the leaves, contains camphor. The
forests are not confined to Formosa
alone, but are also found in Japan
proper. With the extension Of the in
dustry the large areas Of this tree have
been greatly reduced, though replant-
ing and cultivation are practiced to a
considerable extent, a tree requiring 80
years to attain a diameter of one
foot.
In Formosa, however, there is still
an extensive supply Of native forest
growth and many huge trees are to be
found In regions still UNEMPLOYED. The
supply, therefore, is assured for years
to come.
Camphor is found in the form of
crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double
distillation. From the first distilla-
ton is secured an oXidized product.

fusing at 10 degrees centigrade.
Among the by-products may be men
toned crude camphor oil, which comes
out simultaneously with the camphor;
white oil, obtained by subllmating the
crude oil and used in the manufacture
Of soap. Red oil also is obtained from
the crude camphor oil, as well as a
black oil, which Is extensively used in
the preparation Of varnishes. A tur-
pentine Is secured from the white oil
that Is in great demand for medical
and Industrial purposes. From red oil
is obtained the product known as saff-
rol, employed to a considerable extent
in the manufacture of perfumery and
also soap; and a disinfectant Is also
distilled from red oil, after the addi-
ton Of other substances, claimed to
XIII the cholera bacillus. Another pro
duct Is an insecticide, which when min
gled with 100 parts Of water destroys
insects injurious to farm crops.
The annual export Of camphor from
Japan Is about 100000 pounds, three
fourths Of which is produced In For
mosa, the other fourth coming from
Japan proper, chiefly from Kyushu and
Shikoku. BY a provision of the law
Of 1903 the sale Of camphor produced
in Japan is monopolized by the govern
ment through a restriction of the sale
Of crude camphor and camphOr oil.

its convenient operation. In order to
attain the best results it is essential
that the paddles should have a certain
amount Of horizontal play, which Is
provided for by separating the recep-
tacles the width Of a paddle, thereby
affording this play.

kicked off by little feet had not been
renewed.
She sat on the anne low nursery
chair as she had done from force of
habit every evening for the last TWEEN
ty years, living over again the early
days Of her happy motherhood-and
now
Her hands had fallen on her knees
In a listless, apathetic attitude. One
loosely held an evening paper. An
opened telegram lay nearby on a small
table.
Standing out clear in black type
were the words "The War in Manchu-
ria," and underneath in smaller type

further. Here was a home stricken
and a heart stunned by one line in this
column. A few short hours ago that
heart had been alive and happy, thrill
ing with the joy Of life. Now 1t was
dead to outside influences, aching with
the uncomfortable pain of a hopeless
struggle to understand what had hap
pened.
1t seemed such a little while ago
that she had sat on that very chair
and played with her baby, and now
she sat there agaln-while he But
not even a shudder crept owe her as
she pictured to herself the nameless
grave OIL the snowclad field in far-off
Manchuria and tried to realize the
great pathos of n soldiers death.
The door opened and the old family
doctor entered, followed by the father.
The sight Of the fearless, unmoved
face filled him with alarm. "She will
go out of her mind If this state con-
t%inues,' he murmured to himself.
The strong, burly form of the father
was bent with grief. Kneeling by his
wife's side he drew her head down to
his shoulder.
"My little wife," he whispered in a
breaking voice. 1--WE have each other
still; we must bear up-for his sake
don't look like that, dearest. Just let
the tears come, and God will help
you"
She put her arms around his neck
with a little sigh, but the wildness
was still in her eyes and the hard lines
around her mouth did not relax.
Another visitor entered. Father
Serge, the family priest, an old, saint
ly man, his face beaming with love
and sympathy. He did not speak to
the grief-stricken mother for several
minutes, but stood there in silent pray
er.
"My daughter" he said at last,
your sorrow Is great, but God will
"Oh, yes; I believe in God" she
said, "a hard. cruel God; but where is
His love and mercy? Why has He
taken my greatest treasure from me?"
The apathy and Indifference were
gaining on her, the weight on her
head was becoming still more terrible
to bear. She was physically unable to
listen to the spiritual consolation of
the, priest. At last he, too, left her
alone.

"where are you? Come back to me-

Her eyes, anguished with pain, fell
listlessly on the antics of a little pup

room after its own tail. Suddenly he
stopped short beside a huge oak cup

He began to dig curiously for some
thing which was jammed between the
cupboard and the wall. One tremend-

THE STORY Of MOTHER

ca HE mother sat in the nursery.
Save for her and one other the
room was empty. Drawn up
close to the fireplace was a little era
die in spotless white drapery. The
mother was gazing into the fire, her
thoughts far away in the future, and
yet busy with the cradle by her side.
Presently there was a slight stir amid
the soft coverings Of the cradle. One
tiny foot asserted its presence, a little
pink crumpled up fist appeared round
the curtain, with much effort and
struggling two lids opened softly and
revealed the questioning, wondering
eyes of a baby.
The mother quietly bent over the
cradle. MY little son." she murmured
gently. Are you awake; have you
come back from Paradise? Tell mother
what you saw there" and then she
tenderly lifted the little burden on to
her lap and drew on the little blue
shoes.
Just then the nursery door opened
and the father entered. "Oh, little
mother" he cried surveying the pretty
picture in front Of him. "You spoil
that child. Come and spoil me like
wise"
The mother gently put the baby
down on the soft rag and allowed her
self to be drawn into the embrace of
two strong, loving arms. She merely
drew him down upon the hearthrug,
and together they spent the happiest
hour Of their day with their first born.
Baby, where is your shoe? laugh
ed the mother presently, seeing that
one tiny foot was without Its blue COW
ering.
Together they searched for the little
shoe, but nowhere was 1t to be found.
There seemed to be no corner In which
1t could possibly be hidden, and al
last. in obedience to the somewhat i'm.
perative cries Of King Baby, they had
to give up the search.

The contrast between the East and West, between the
old and new, is nowhere more graphically seen than at
that gateway between Europe and Asia-the Suez Canal.
The great artificial waterway connecting the Mediterra-
mean and the Red Sea is said to have accomplished more
for the prosperity of the human race than any other engi
neering work Of man. Along its entire route the canal is
patrolled by faithful sentries, mounted on camels who
carefully scan the banks, ever alert for any sign of danger.
In itself the native sentry is in sharp contrast to the prin
ciple expressed in the waterway, and the contrast is

NEW YACHT CLUB HAS
BEEN ORGANIZED
Differences Among Members Of the
South Coast Club Result In
Secesalon


The long existent dissension among
the members of the South Coast Yacht
club has resulted in final break
among the opposing elements and in
the future two separate yachting or
ganizatlons must be reckoned with in
Southern California waters. Under
the leadership of the Rice brothers
those who looked upon secession from
the ranks of the South Coast club to
be the only means Of remedying the
grievances which they found to be OPP
pressive have banded together and
formed a club to be known as the
Sunset Yachtsmen and hereafter they
will not be identified with South Coast
interests
This action was taken at a meeting
of the malcontents held Monday and
while a permanent organization was
effected the usual officers were not
elected but this will be done at the next
meeting of the club to occur next Mon
day evening. Practically all of the
fast boats that are not upon the roster
of the South Coast club will go over
to the new organization. The Mis-
chief, Marie and Venus, the three
speediest boats in Southern California
waters will fly the burgee Of the new
club, practically leaving the South
Coast yachtsmen without boat fit for
high class yacht racing.
The yachtsmen who have taken this
rather drastic action declare that they
were unable to secure adequate repre-
sentaton in the councils of the club,
Notwithstanding the fact that they
composed the majority Of the boat
owners and sailors, apart from the
rocking chair fleet" They also COM
plain that one man has persued his
own policy without regard for the
wishes or advice of his fellow members.
The South Coast Yacht club is an in
corporated body and each holder of
share of stock is entitled to five
votes. When the club was first formed
majority of the stock was purchased
by several men who, as natural re-
suit could do about anything they
desired in so far as the clubs policy
was concerned.
The secessionists admit that with
the one exception these members who
hold the majority of the stock have all
been reasonable and liberal minded
but that the one exception is alone re-
responsible for the decision to organize
another club. BY virtue of the fact
that he holds all of the proxies of nom
resident members the man who has
caused this falling apart of the club is
returned to some important office
yearly where he can carry out his own
plans and ideas.
Nearly all of the original members
of the South Coast club will be in
cluded among the Sunset Yachtsmen.
II. b. Dodge, the first commodore, has
decided to cast his yachting fortunes
with the new organization. Herbert
Pease and Joe Fellows have determined
that it is preferable to join the Sun
seters than remain in the South Coast
club under the conditions which they
allege to exist. The resolve to organ
ize another club was not taken with
out due thought, however, and George
Folsom and other prominent pleasure
sailors in local waters declare that the
