of crystals in the wood tissues and is
separated from the crude oil by double

preparation of vainishes. A turpentine
is secured from the white oil that Is in
great demand for medical and indus

ENGLISH FACTORY LAWS.


The first English factory laws were
made in 1902 and were enacted mainly
because of the pitlable condition of the
young pauper children employed in the
Lancashire cotton factories.
An outbreak Of fever in the Rad
cliffe Cotton works, 1874, WAS trace !
by Manchester doctors to overcrowde !
and iusanitary factories and the long
hours of the workers The magistrates
made an attempt TO lessen the evils,
but in spite of their success in slightly
reducing the hours of labor things
grew worse and other epidemcs oc-
cured
The Manchester board of health took
the matter up in 1906 and urged the
necessity of legislation to deal effec-
lively with it, fublic interest was
aroused, and further revelations of the
fragrant i'll treatment of apprentices SO
deeply stirred public feeling that in
1902 Sir Robert Peel brought in bill
known as the health and morals of
apprentices act" which was passed
without difficulty and placed on the
statute book
