Walter Dam rosch, whose years of splendid effort have won him universal recognition as a leader of rare musicianly attain fnents.
 The New York Symphony is an out growth of an organization formed many years ago by pr. Leopold Dam rosch, father of the present conductor. and 1t has passed through many vicis- s.tudes in it's struggle--at last success ful--for supremacy among the parma nent orchestras of the United States. Dr. Damfosch founded the symphony Society in 1878, and remained it's active head until his death in 1885. when his son--then but 23 years of age--suc- ceeded him. Mr. Walter Dafnrosch car ried on the work of his distinguished father for ten years, and then turned his activities exclusively to German opera. It was only last spring that the Symphony Society was reorganized by subscribers to the Guarantee Fund of the New York Symphony Orchestra to provide a suitable foundation for the first orchestra of It's nature that New York has ever had. That orchestra the present New York Symphony. en- larged. reorganized and wonderfully stfengthened--is now engaged By con- tract to meet every day for at least seven months in the year. devoting the mornings to rehearsals, and the after moons and evenings to sympho ony con- certs In New York and other cities.

Texas Camphor.

Almost the entire supply Of cam
phor now comes from Formosa. The
demand, says a writer in the south-
west, has increased to such an extent
that the attention Of all the leading
countries of the world has been d.
rected to opening up new source Of
supply. This is made necessary by
the fact that in the manufacture Of
modern explosives which are used in
high.power guns camphor forms an
important ingredient.
Now that the Japanese government
controls the worlds supply Of the
product, it is by no means certain that
it may be obtained in the desired
quantities at all times in the future.
In order to provide against any such
contingency as this, the growth of the
camphor shrub is being encouraged in
Texas, where there are two camphor
farms operated by the government.
The experimental farm at Wharton
was established nearly two years ago.
The shrubs have thrived wonder
fully well, and they are now higher
than q mans head.
The process in operation in Formosa
for extracting the camphor is to chop
the trees down and cut them into
small pieces, from which the csmphor
is then distilled. The man in charge
in Texas, Doctor Watkins, has adopted
q different method.
He sows the seeds of the shrubs
like wheat or oats, and the shrubs
quickly sprout. When they have at
tanned a height Of about three feet
they are cut down by a moving ma.
chine at a height Of about foot from
the ground. The several portions are
put through distilling process, and
the camphor extracted.
From the tender stubble other
shoots spring up, and the cutting pro-
cess can be repeated once a year for
several years. 1t is asserted that a
better quality Of camphor can be OBJ
tanned by this method than by the
ancient process in use in Formosa.
The crop requires no attention except
the sowing and harvesting.
1t is asserted by Doctor Watkins
that large portion Of southwest Tex
as is especially adapted to successful
camphor.growing. At present prices
one acre of camphor would yield a
profit of about four hundred and fifty
dollars. 1t is expected, however, that
when its cultivation becomes general
in Texas, there will be a drop in
prices.
