MAKE AN ARTIFICIAL cAMPH0e
German Chemists Have Produced Al ticle That to a Certain Extent
 Is Good Substitute.

During the war between Japan and Russia the price of camphor had sur prising rise, since Japan prohibited ihe exportation of the gum, the manu fracture of which is a state monopoly The reason given was that the nation needed the camphor for the making of smokeless powder.
 Of the S,000,000 or 100000 pounds annually produced, the ma king of celluloid absorbs the greatest part, about 70 per cent; explosives require about per cent, and other Industries account for the remainder.
 Camphor is produced by the distilla ton of a certain kind of wood grown in Japan, Formosa and southern Chi ma. The exports vary greatly from year to year, and the price has violent changes, such as $7 hund?edweigh' in 1868, $130 in 1907 and $40 in 1908
 What the future of the camphor in iustry will be no one knows. In h. dia, Ceylon, Florida and Texas i'm, nense groves have been planted, but 1t may take 40 or 50 years before they are sufficiently matured to produce the gum. Meanwhile German chemists are making artificial camphor, which already has it's place as substitute for certain purposes.

AUTOMATIC BANKS IN ITALY
Government Has Unique Way of En couraging Thrift Among
 Poorer Glasses.

Every postoffice in Italy Is a savings bank, but not every laborer in the sun ny kingdom can get a chance to go to the postoffice during business hours. The Italian government is, therefore, encouraging thrift by setting up au- tomatic banks all over the peninsula
 These are simply hollow, cast-iron pillars, with three slits opening into them. In the top one a man who be- gins to save money inserts a 10-cen- time piece, which is equivalent to about two cents of Cur money. If the coin is counterfeit it is promptly re iected, and falls out of lower slit. If good, receipt drops from the third opening. at the bottom of the pillar.
 As soon as one has collected five or more receipts he can exchange them for pass book at a regular postal say ings bank, and the government begins to pay him interest on his savings at the rate of per cent.
 The device is about three years old and many laborer turns to the auto matic banl. when he gets his days wages, pleased with the thought that when he has saved 10 cents he will have his bank book, like any cap. ttalist

First Game Forty Years Ago.

Last Sunday saw the fortieth ami yersary of the first game of intercol .egiate football played in America The initial contest was between Princeton and Rutgers and was played at New Brunswick November 6, 1869 Rutgers won by goals to 4. Prince tons captain was Gunmere and Leg gett led the Rutgers team.
 Leggett won the game by solving Princeton's strong play of batting the ball with the fists whenever it ap- peared above the shoulders of the men Princeton could do this because of he5 tall forwards. Leggett ordered the Rutgers men to keep the ball close tU the ground, and on this style of play having the shorter and more compact players, was enabled to crowd the win uing points over amid great excite ment.
 Tripping and holding were barred in the rules of the first game, as in mod ern play. Nc thror 5ug or running with the ball was allowed. There were four judges and two referees Boston Herald.

ADVERTISING PAYS
FAMOUS ROYCROFTER TELLS WHAT TT IS AND WHAT
 TT DOES.

"Advertising is the education of the public, as to who you are, and what you have to offer in the way of skill, talent or commodity" says Ebert Hubbard in the June "Philistine." The importance of the new science of ad- vertising has never been more thor oughly emphasized than by Fra FL bertus in the current number of this little magazine He says in part:
 "Let the truth be known about your business.
 "The only man who should not ad- vertise is the one who has nothing 10 offer in the way of service, or one who can not make good.
 "All such should seek the friendly shelter of oblivion, where dwell those who, shrouded in Stygian shades, fore gather gloom, and are out of the game.
 Not to advertise is to be nominated for membership in the Down-and- Out Club"

Wildcat Meat for Painters.

Wildcat meat is at premium in the Chinese quarters of San Francisco as result of the strife between the Tee family and the On Tick Tong in or near San Francisco since No vember.
 There is superstitious belief among the Chinese that if their warriors are fed on the flesh of the wildcat they will acquire the ferocity of the beast and their fighting efficiency will be much improved. The butchers of the quarter are driving a thriving trade in wildcat among the two clans now at war.-Fur News.
