Artificial Canphor.

Chemists in Europe are now maxi
ing pretty good imitation Of cam
phor out of substance extracted
from turpentine. Their product is
not perfect reproduction of the true
article, as is synthetic" indigo,
but it will serve some of the
same purposes as the fragrant
gum of Formosa. Celluloid, for
instance, is composed largely of
camphor and gun cotton, and it is
said that synthetic" camphor can be
used in making that compound. In
asmuch as the imitation cannot yet
be produced cheaply, it is not finding
large sale, but in time it is to be
hoped that its cost will be greatly
reduced. If the process of manufac-
ture should then be sufficiently i'm
proved to mako artificial camphor
chemically identical with the cam
phor of nature, there will be occasion
for wide rejoicing.

Bean Trust.

Cleveland, Ohio, sends out report
to the effect that Francis Wing, of
that city, a former judge of the
United States District Court, has or
ganized a 100000 bean trust,
which he says is immune from legal
attack. The company, which is COM
posed chiefly of Cleveland capitalists,
will be called the Interstate Products
Company, and Judge Wing says it
will have practical monopoly of the
bean industry. 1t has taken options
upon nearly every elevator-three
hundred in all--in southern Michi-
gan and New York, where large
proportion of the bean crop of the
United States is grown. Since the
company will actually own the ele-
vators it will not be in conflict with
the antitrust law, the organizers
think. California Fruit Grower

The Cedar and the Pine.

Recent study of the structure of
the celebrated cedar of Lebanon is
regarded as proving that it has come
from the same parental stock as the
pines, and that it represents the
most primitive form of the Abietinaee
subgroup of cone-bearing trees. The
great geological age of the Cedrus
family has long been known, and
now it has been shown that the wood
of the cedar root possesses vestiges
of the peripheral resin canals which
are a characteristic mark of the
pines, whereas the cedars are charac-
terized by median canal

Boston,s oosnopolitanism.

Modern Boston is an illustration
of the persistence of civic tradition.
In no city in the United States has
the change of population, owing to
unrestricted immigration, been so
startling during the last generation.
The city of the Puritans has become
cosmopolitan. Were Cotton Mather
to come to life again and revisit his
haunts in the North End, even his
linguistic requirements would be
severely tested in finding his way
about. And yet, though the popula-
ton has SO largely changed, the type
remains. From Samuel M Crother' s

When DO we Dream 2

There has been much discussion
as to whether one dreams only on
falling to sleep and during the act
of waking up or whether dreams take
place at any time during sleep. While
not definitely determined as yet, the
evidence seems to be rather in favor
of the view that one may dream at
any time during the night, or the
whole night through. Dreaming is
common to perfectly healthy persons,
anG in itself is no evidence of dis
order.-Dr. Frederick Peterson, in

Cleveland, Ohio-That John D.
Rockefeller will live to more than
ninety-four is the prediction of Dr..
H. F. Biggar, his family physician.
Dr. Biggar watched Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter play golf over the Forest Hill
links, and at the finish declared that
the Standard Oil magnate was likely
to live more than quarter of CEN
fury longer.
Mr.. Rockefeller, who looked partic-
ularly well, said he had never felt
better in his life and that he could
eat anything.
William Rockefeller, John D. Rock
efeller's father, is still living and is
ninety-four Dr. Biggar said he sees
no reason why the master of Forest
Hill should not live longer than his
father.
He is the best-trained athlete in
the sixty-year-old class in the world
to-day, and he's sixty-eight, at that, I"
he said Hell live longer than his
father. I'm sure. Did you see his
strokes on the links this morning?
Did they look feeble? / tell you, Mr..
Rockefeller has been born twice ply
sically, and he is only fourteen years
old now. He is growing up again,
and growing up scientifically, adding
to his muscle, to his lungs, to his
heart power with every breath of
fresh air he takes on Forest Hill,
and with every drive he makes at the
Golf Club"
And it cost Mr.. Rockefeller $5,-
100000 for this second life. Those
are his own words. 1t happened
in this wise, according to Doctor
Biggar:
Mr.. Rockefeller came to Cleve-
land in 1898, in the middle of the
panic period, completely broken in
health and spirit. He could eat moth

in this branch. for there is
nothing sadder to see than a blind per
