Make CelluIoid Without camphor

More than two hundred substitutes
for camphor intended for use in the
manufacture of celluloid have been
invented in the effort to produce the
so-called artificial ivory which will
he less inflammablc than the product
usually on the market.
Messrs. Albert Parsons Sachs and
Oscar Byron, of New York City, in an
article in the current number of the
journal of Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry. tell Of the long quest for
this desirable substitute. Celluloid.
as the pyroxolin plastics are com
monty called. is a solid solution Of
gun cotton and camphor. which on
being heated can readily be moulded
into various forms. When camphor
is high in price. when the Japanese
seek TO get too much for the real
gum or when there is an actual
scarcity. science seeks for the best
substitute for it.
"Of this imposing array Of sub :
stitutes.' say the authors. who mem
ton 209 of them, only triphenyl
phosphate and tritOyol phosphate
have been very successful in the
United States
Despite the many difficulties, how
ever. several companies are putting
on the market celluloids without
camphOr.

Electric Operation Of Railways Would
Cut Down Trackaee Requirements

In calling attention 10 the superior
ity Of electric railroad service as
compared with steam, the United
states Geological Survey in connec-
ton with its superpower inyestiga-
tons points to an interesting example
of present wasteful practice: Under
electric operation, il is stated, the en-
tire traffic between Philadelphia and
Washington could readily be carried
over the rails of the PENNSYLVANIA
system, those of the Baltimore e
Ohio being left for future growth.
Similarly, electric operation in the vi
entity Of Boston and New York would
leave a margin of track capacity 50
great that no money need be spent for
many years for further extensions Of
track. This release of trackage is one
of the very notable advantages that
would follow unified electric opera
ton of the railroads in the super
power Zone"-the region between
Washington and Boston. The great
expense Of any large increase in
trackagc should of itself force
elcctrification, for the total cost
20 years hence will be less if electric
cation is begun now than the cost Of
the added track and terminal facili-
ties necessary under steam operation
TO provide for the inevitable 100 per
cent increase in traffic within that
time.
The reserves Of men and of ma =
chinery required for joint operation
will be very much less than the ag-
gregate of the separate reserves re-
CURED for individual operation. The
great waste involved in the mainte-
nance Of separate reserves Of motive
power is exhibited by the operating
statistics of the roads, which show
that the average freight locomotive in
this territory is in productive service
only $3.50 hours out of the $3.50 hours
in year and the average passenger
| locomotive only $3.50 hours. With
joint electric operation and conse-
| cuent unification of types of motive
power there would be n striking i'm
provement. The steam locomotive
can run S hours day; the electric To-
connective 20 hours.
