THE CAMPHOR LAUREL.
How the Drug Is Extracted From
the Wood of the Tree.

How the Drug Is Extracted From
the Wood of the Tree.
The camphor laurel, from which the
greater part of the camphor of COM
merce Is produced, is q native of
China, Japan, Formosa and Cochin
China. 1t is a hardy, long lived tree
and sometimes grows to great size.
1t has evergreen leaves, yellowish
white flowers In panicles and is a
very ornamental tree, the trunk run
ming up to a height of twenty or
thirty feet before branching. The
fruit Is very much like q black cur
rant.
In the extraction of camphor the
wood is first cut into small chips, and
the chips are put into water in a still
and steamed. The head Of the still Is
filed with straw, and as the steam
carries Off the camphor in vapor 1t
is deposited in little grains around the
straw.
The crude camphor Is then heated
In q vessel, from which the steam is
allowed to escape through a small
aperture. The camDhor sublimes In
semitransparent ca Ike. In the man
ufacture of camphor the tree Is nee
essarlly destroyed, but by rigid law
Of the lands In which the tree grows
another is planted In the place Of every
one that is cut down The wood Is
highly valued for carpenters work.
Camphor was unknown 10 the
Greeks and Romans and YVES first
brought to Europe by the Arabs.

The TumbIeyyeed.

Tumbleweeds spread themselves in
q wholesale fashion. Instead Of send
ing the separate seeds out into the
world with wings or hairs to carry
them, the whole plant breaks Off near
the root, when these are ripe, and
goes rolling along the ground before
the wind. The bare, sun scorched des-
erts Of the great west produce several
tumbleweeds, and there are some In
the prairie region. II Is natural that
they should be most abundant where
there are no hills or trees to stop
them In their course. But we have one
tumbleweed In the east-the old witch
grass, 80 called, maybe, because 1t rides
the wind like an old beldame. In Sep
TENDER this grass spreads its head or
panicle, with hairllke. purple branches,
In every sandy field. When the seeds
are ripe the plants are blown across
the field, often pillng up In masses
along fences and hedgerows. AS might
be expected, the hair grass, which has
so effective a way Of spreading itself.
Is found throughout the United States
from ocean to ocean.

One Of the largest and most curious
Of the many luminous or lamp bearing
Insects is the great lantern fly, a spe-
cies of the freely peculiar to central
and northern South America. The
great lantern is hardly as large as the
common dragon fly or ''snake feeder"
but like that creature 1t has lacelike
wings and an elongated abdomen. In
Central America. particularly In Costa
RIGA and Panama, the Indians capture
them by thousands, using them as
decorations for their headdresses, sad
dies, etc. The Frenctman Renard who
visited Guatemala In 1902 declared that
the Indians used lantern flies and other
luminous Insects much In the same
manner that we do torches and Ian
terms and that by the light the insects
give out they were able to find their
way through dark wo DDS and swamps.

Some time ago Farming stated that
horns on a steer meant a reduction OF
80 cents per hundredwdght in the price
In market. A correspondent assumes
to correct this statement and says:
1.-THE simple presence or absen ce Of
horns on a prime steer does not affect
his value materially, nor is any item
ton paid to this point by buyers OF fat
cattle. II one were buying feeding cat
tie to finish, dehorned ones are more
desirable than horned cattle, especii lily
when they are to run loose in lal :ge
droves-that is. not stall fed" b th
wrong, according to our experien, q.
We have seen the presence OF horns ID
a carload Of fat steers knock conside a.
able Off their value. but not 80 cen Is
per hundredweight. The fact is Thu IT
killers who have to ship their stoc
away from the yards want hornless ca, =
tie, and those who kill right there fnd!
fewer bruises among such cattle. The
hornless steer has very decided ad-
vantage for both feeders and slaughter
ers. Buyers pay good deal of atten-
tion to this point here at Pittsburg.-

A VERY FORMAL HONOR.
Palmerston Had Not Been Intro
duced to Hugo or Dumas.

PaImerston Had Not Been Intro
duced to Hugo or Dumas.
Alexandra Dumas, the elder, tells
this story In his diary: "One day Victor
Hugo and / were dining with the Duo
Decazes, and among the guests were
Lord and Lady Palmerston. Lord and
Lady Palmerston had come late. There
had been no time, for an introduction
before dinner, and after dinner, while
we were taking tea, the formallty had
been forgotten. Young Due Decazes
came up to me. My dear NJ. Dumas,
he said, Lord Palmerston has begged
me to ask you to leave an empty chair
between yourself and Victor Hugo
did so.
lord Palmerston got up, took his
wife by the hand and brought her over
to us. Look at the clock, my lady, he
said. What o'clock Is itY asked Lord
Palmerston. 'Thirty-fve minutes past
TO- replied my lady. Then remember
said her husband, that this evening at
thirty-fve minutes past 10 you were
seated between Victor Hugo and Alex
andre Dumas and that such an honor
is not likely to happen to you twice in
a lifetime
HE then took his wife by the hand
and took her back to her place at the
other side of the room without another
word You see, he had not been intro
duced either to Victor Hugo or me-"

The Refort Genial.

A southern woman who Is now past
her prime, but whose ready wit still
makes her a welcome guest wherever
she goes, tells the following story
about an encounter with what she
terms a northern iceberg" She was
at musical entertainment at a private
house in New York, and at the end Of a
song which had been delightfully."- rem
dered she turned with an exclamation
Of pleasure to lady who sat near and
whom she knew by sight, but had
never met.
The woman addressed looked at her
In surprise for a moment and then
asked coldly, Have the pleasure Of
knowing Your
NO" was the answer, but 1 felt at
liberty to speak to you ON account Of
your being under such very great OBJ
legations to me-"
"Will you have the goodness to ex-
plain what you meanf" said the New
York woman haughtlly.
Merely that l refused your husband
twenty-five years ago." replied the lit
tie southerner as she moved away to
seek a more congenial atmosphere.

CUNNING OF THE FOX.
Its Skill When Runnfne For Life
From the Hounds.

inc fzOunoh.
No other still hunter can travel 90
quietly as fox, and mighty few men
are as crafty as the four legged hunter
when II comes to matter Of getting
meat. Foxes have been seen In Eng.
land slipping from bush to bush, crawl
ing and creeping after feeding hare,
for all the world like man stalking a
deer. The fox cannot catch rabbit In
fair chase, but its food Is mostly rab-
bits In spite Of their feetness. But at
no time does it display its skill so well
as when running for life with a pack
Of hounds on It's trail.
CLAUS Magnus, archbishop Of Upsala,
wrote a book called Historic de Cent?
bus eptentrionalibus," Of which an
English translation exists. This book
tells Of a fox that leaped from back to
back of herd Of goats. AS the dogs
could not follow, the fox escaped.
A curious trick of English foxes is to
jump as high as possible, grasping a
tree branch with their teeth, hold on
till the hounds have gone on and then,
dropping to the ground, escape. This Is
similar to the trick Of the American
fox which jumps into a tree and
rests on a branch, but American dogs
are not such fools as English dogs.
They gather around the tree and howl
till the hunter comes.

Material For 200 Eggs In n Man.

German scientists announce that the
material for a man weighing 100
pounds can be found in the whites and
yolks of 1000 hens eggs Reduced to
a fluid, the average man would yield
ninety-elght cubic meters Of illuminat-
ing gas and hydrogen enough to I'LL a
balloon capable Of lifting 1876 pounds.
The normal human body has In 1t the
iron needed TO make seven large nails,
the fat for fourteen pounds Of candles,
the carbon for slxty-four gross Of cray
ons and phosphorus enough for $780,
600 matches. Out Of it can be OBJ
talned, besides, twenty teaspoons OF
salt, fifty Jumps of sugar and forty-two
iiters of water.

for help. Scores OF people rushed NJ
then. Some snatched the children,
some picked up Molly, others stood and
looked, while one man dispatched the
dog with a revolver. A chorus of CRATE
full mothers assailed her ears, but she
was SO faint and weak she felt only q
desire to get home and weep on Kate's
sympathetic neck. Just then the $50
train from New York pulled In, and the
passengers promptly stepped across. the
tracks to the square to see the excite
ment. One young man who shouldered
bis way through the crowd caught her
eye.
"Oh, Dick" she exclaimed. I'm so
glad you've GOMEZ" and then fell limp
ly into his outstretched arms before
them all.
He drove her home very slowly, for
they had great deal to say, and, Of
course, Dick had to bring out the ring
again from his pocket and put IL ON
Molly's finger. and Molly had TO tell him
how silly and unhappy she had been,
and Dick had to tell her something to
the same effect about himself, and all
that took considerable time.
Kate was waiting by the gate for
her, but all clouds Of anxiety vanished

A remarkable example Of the vo-
racity Of trout, accompanied by fatal
results, has just come to light. A
young man employed at Mr.. Sargents
mill at Upton, St. John, on the river
Otter, noticed fine trout lying dead
in the mill Leaf. He got the fish out
and was astonished to find that tight
ly twisted in the most extraordinary
fashion into the trout's gills was an
eel, which had undoubtedly strangled
its captor. But this was not all. Firm
ly stuck in the mouth Of the eel was a
little fish, probably a stickleback,
which, being too big for the eel to
swallow, had caused Its death Also
All three fish were very recently dead,
and 1t was quite clear that the eel,
which was foot long, had attempted
to swallow the stickleback, but had
only succeeded In getting Its head far
enough down to choke itself. The
trout, no doubt, seeing the eel in diff
culties, had attacked 1t and attempted
to swallow 1t, with the result that his
slippery, writhing victim had managed
to choke him by entangling itself up in
wonderful way In its captor's gills.
Thus the little stickleback choked the
eel, which In Its turn strangled the
Telegraph.

Only one characteristic distinguishes
the little village Of Strong, Me-, from
the thousands OF others that are scat
tered all over New England. That is
the peculiar industry which serves to
support the entire community. Strong
is famous for nothing but toothpicks,
but It is known in the trade as the
place from which come the majority of
the toothpicks that are used In the
United States.
