II he ever witnessed the actual oper-
ations Of candlemaking.
Paraffin in Scotland is made from
shale, and in Germany from brown
coal. In Germany the quantities are
small. Parafin was discovered by
DR.. James Young about the year
1850, at which time he introduced a
method OF producing hydrocarbons
by the distillation of coal at a low
red heat. Crude paraffin, In addition
to the hard parafIin suitable for can
dies, contains soft paraffin and
small portion of oil. The soft par
affin enters into the making of
matches.

hands, we are prone to think of

brass kettle OF grease and hot water.
These old-fashioned candles were a
great improvement over the pine
Knot, and were the mainstay in the
days antedating the discovery of gas
and electricity for lighting, or even
coal oil, for that matter. Ten pounds
or grease and three pals of water

this mixture she dipped and dipped
until the grease had all adhered to
the strips of wick. The winters
supply was then tucked away In
boxes. The candle fitted into ali i'm
portant niche of the simple life of
that period. There was no worry
for fear the gas meter would go
wrong or that the electric light bills
would eat up the profits of the house

economies makes not a single excep-
ton. The candlemaker will tell you
proudly that for every one thousand
pounds of raw material which he re-
ceives he turns. out one thousand
pounds of finished candles. This
perfection is in keeping with the
principles upon which all industries
operated by the Standard Oil Com
pany are rum.
How many sizes of candles would
you think are nader Would you be
apt to guess that thAre- are more
than two or three dozens? Well.
there are just 700 distinct kinds of
candles, and there are fully $4,000
different sized boxes in which the
finished product is packed. The
smallest candles are about the size
OF a lead pencil. and, like some
humorist has said of the mosquitoes
OF New Jersey. great many of them
would weigh pound. To be exact
about 1t, 1t takes just 148 of these
candles to tip the scales at sixteen
ounces. The largest candle exceeds
ten feet in height and weighs more
than 100 pounds. One naturally
wonders where 100-pound candles
are used. The Italians can answer
this query best. They use more of
the largest sized candles than any
other nationality. 1t is not unusual
to see an Italian procession, even in
our American cities, with two men
carrying one candle. Candles of
such great size are made in gigantic
molds by hand. The largest machine
made candle weighs two pounds.
The Washington times., 1905-10-29

The paraffin comes into the base
ment of the factory in cakes and is
hoisted by means of an elevator to
the top floor. Here it goes into huge
tanks, where it is soon melted.
Liquid paraffin is thinner than water
To keep it from chilling it must be
kept moving. One of the largest
kettles or tanks holds 5000 pounds
of raw material. From these tanks
the paraffin flows into the machines
on the floor below. A candle ma
chine is an interesting thing. Both
European and American inventors
worked on perfecting them for years.
Candles are made by machinery in
Europe as we'll as here. In London
there is factory the annual output
. of which Is $4,000 tons.
In modern candlemaking ma
chine of the larger size 900 candles
can be nodded at one time. The
molds proper are arranged in a sort
OF iron box which is connected with
both steam and cold water pipes, al
though water circulating in this box
does not reach the inside of the
molds. The wick is fed to the molds
from bobbins near the bottom of the
machine. There is one bobbin for
each mold. and each bobbin, when
placed in the machine, has sixty
yards of wick. The position of these
bobbins is nicely illustrated in one
of the accompanying photographs.
Nohoubt it hass often been a source
OF wonderment that candle factory
should, in warm weather, have tons
and tons of ice delivered to its doors.

"Snufers" Are Obsolete.


Shutters" is a word which will be
readily recognized by those Of the
older generation who were familiar
with the homemade tallow candle.
Fifty years ago everyone who used
candles found a snuffer a necessity.
The wicks OF that day failed to fully
consume themselves, with the result
that as the tallow burned the char
red wick stood still Shutters re-
sembled in appearance pair of scis-
sors with little box on one of the
prongs. As soon as the candies
light began to grow dim the snuffers
were used with good effect to trim
the wick, and the tiny box served to
catch the trimmings.
The necessity for Snuffers is now
fully obviated by the skill of the
candlemaker. In the first place the
wick must be of a certain quality OF
cotton fiber. 1t must be twisted or
braided, and sometimes treated in
such a manner that 1t will consume
itself The size and composition of
the rest of the candle will also either
add or detract from the effectiveness
OF the light. AS heretofore stated
there are 700 distinct kinds of can
dies and 1t may now be added that
The Washington times., 1905-10-29
Notwithstanding the Increased Facilities for
Gas and Electric Lightins, the Production of
Candies in the United States Is Greater
Than Ever Before in American Eiistorv

H T is an interesting fact that
more candles are used in the
United States today than In
the palmy days of the tallow
dip. There is absolutely no
rest for the modern candlemaker.
The Rosh Hashana season of the
jews is now just nicely past and
here comes Christmas. February I'd
is Candlemas Day, and Easter is
next, with wedding feasts and other
more or less important events
thrown in. But of all the days
Christmas is the hardest on candles.
This is why there is no let up to
their manufacture, for it is a fact
that there is not a day in the year
but that Christmas candles are kept
in the mill.
The candies history goes way
back TO Moses, and IL is probable
that IL was no new thing TO the
Children of Israel. And thou shalt
make caadlestick of pure gold; of
beaten work shall the candlestick be
made, even its base and its shaft;
It's cups, its knops, and its flowers
shall be Of one piece with it," Exodus
xxy;34. The early candle of the
hebrews, however, was not of par
ranin, or even tallow, but rather an
earthen vessel with a handle and a
nozzle through which a wick pro-
truded. More like a lamp than
candle, you say, and yet in this day
OF lamps 1t is the candle that is used
70 symbolize In all religious rites.

Taiiow Candles Out of Date.

But candles are no longer made
Of tallow and grandmother's molds

the composition of every one must
conform TO the size and the wick
The first improvement in candle
wicks came at the Introduction Of
the plated wick in France Sone
wicks comprise but four threads,
others sixty threads. To make these
wicks is an art in itself.
Canada and the South have prefer
ence for colored candles. The candle
factory is ready for al emergencies
and if there is any tint or shade de-
sired that is out of the ordinary il
is quickly supplied The mixing OF
the colors is, therefore. another oper-
alton requiring great skill All the
colored candles are made in a sepa-
rate department and the raw ma
terial from the tanks is fed to the
molding machines in pals instead Of

American Production Increasing.
The Jews give great many special
orders for candles which shall be
suitable to their various fasts and
events. In all there are thirty-eight
special days which the Jews annual
ly observe. There is a candle which
is made to burn just thirty-six hours
which is just the length of some
of the Jewish fasts. The orthodox
Jewish home has its candles as well
as the synagogue. During the week
just preceding Rosh Hashana each
family burns forty-four small can
dies of required size. Just recently
some large special orders from the
Japanese have been filed in this
country, some new machinery being
necessary in order to please the JapS'
fancies and make the candles exact
ly like the order. Birthday candles
are something of comparatively re-
cent origin, and banquet candles an

candles is increasing, some of the
factories reporting an annual in

Feminine hands pack the candles
IN boxes. So deft are the fingers
of the employees and so trained the
eyes that they recognize a defective
candle in an instant The least chip
on any part of a candle or soil upon
its pure white color brands is as i'm

1T is thrown to one side. For each
candle thus discarded the girl who

WATTERsON ON ROOSEVELT.

1.-The President in the South" is the
title of an editorial which Henry Wat
terson publishes in the Courier-Jour-
nal. Among other things, Mr.. Waiter
son says:
Theodore Roosevelt, the partizan
republican succeeding the gentle Nc
Kinley, with a ruthless assault upon
southern ideas and predictions, in
the Indianola affair, in the Crum af-
fair and in the Booker Washington
affair; Theodore Roosevelt, the self
willed executive, twirling the big stick
and riding roughshod over whoever
or whatever gets in his way, without
much regard to law or usage; Theo-
dore Roosevelt, the presidential candi-
date, who, having captured the ma
chine and secured his nomination,
seemed borne along upon a golden
stream of campaign contributions
wrung from the corporations by meth
DDS that, to say the least of them,
looked like coercion. That was year
ago.
Coming in upon wave of unex-
ampled popular volition, partly the
rebound of extraordinary conditions,
personal tribute, another and quite
different Theodore Roosevelt appeared
upon the scene. The big stick was
laid away; the habiliments of rough
rider We're exchanged for more con-
ventional apparel, words were uttered
and energies were set in motion whicn
gave the people promise of emanci-
patton from the rapacity of certain
aggregations of capital that had long
defied the laws, and, finally, by an act
of daring as original as it was felici-
1ous, and sustained throughout by
unflagging persistence and intelli-
gent purpose, this recreated Theodore
Roosevelt stands forth a very arch
angel of peace, bringing upon himself
and his country glory unspeakable.
These are simple facts, emphasized
by their unexpectedness, for they did
not spring and could not spring from
any logical deduction either of per-
.sonal character or of political ante
cedents.'
Referring to a speech made at the
statue of Jackson, Mr.. Wattersor
says:
In breadth of patriotic spirit and
in far-reacning, statesmanlike sug.
gestion, nothing finer than this was
said by Abraham Lincoln. 1t deserves
indeed, to be recorded in letters OF
gold alongside the Gettysburg speech
being at once an echo and confirma tior
of that immortal utterance.''

OVEREATING AS A HABIT.

No one needs to be told that tenn
perance in eating, as we'll as in drink
ing, will contribute to health and long
life. 1t is a new and rather startling
dictum, however, pronounced by Prof
Russell H. Chittenden, director of the
Sheffield Scientific school, in his ar
ticle in the current Century. He I'M
iertakes to demonstrate that the av-
erage man eats twice as much, OF
takes in double the amount of nutri-
ton, that the body has any use for
The excess overloads the organs with
work and hasJens their final break
down.
Habit determines our meal times

den dictates the amount of food we
eat We become hungry at stated
times, and We overload our stomachs

who furnishes a great deal of comedy
on account of his pious demeanor.
Rupert has turned out to be some
thing of a pest for the members of

type of canal is decided upon we can
get right down to the solid digging.
