trying to hold himself back, and even
then the speed of his descent was
such as to tear his clothing to shreds.
Since that first trip he has gone down
astride a saddle of stout leather.
Perhaps the greatest difficulty he ex-
perienced, however, was that Of keep
ing his balance on the swaying wire.
Until several trips had accustomed him
to it, the tendency was to turn over
head downward during the descent.
Realizing that this would mean inabil-
ity to maintain his hold Of the wire
and death on the rocks several hun
dred feet below, the intrepid man
fought bravely against it and finally
succeeded in mastering the secret of
keeping his balance.

VALUE OF cAMPHoR TREES.

By-Producta of Formosa'S Growth Are
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, tree requiring 30
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 unexplored. 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.

Among the by-products may be men,

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 SAT-
rol, employed to a considerable extent
In the manufacture of perfumery and
also soap; and a disinfectant Ia also
