HOW CELLULOID I* MADE.
Preceas Nat Hard, But Injurloue Te
j£j Health of Workman. -1
Celluloid la a chemical substance
made mainly of paper and crude cam- ,
phor to Imitate Ivory, tortoise shell,
coral, amber, glass, etc. Conalderable
secrecy la maintained by the maker*
of celluloid as to their respective
methods of manufacture, aayi a writer
In Fabrics, Fancy Qooda and Notions,
but apart from dye-atuffa and acid It
may be aatd to conalat of about equal
quantities of piper and camphor. I
The process of Its making la not a
complicated one. although It la one
that Is highly Injurious to the health
of thoae employed in handling the In
gredients. The worklngmen are com
pelled to wear clothing of rubber, and
{■variably bear traces of the atrong
action of the chemicala uaed. their
faces appearing corpselike and ghastly.
The flrst operation In the manufacture
of celluloid la the preparation of the
paper, which Is composed of cotton
and birch wood.
This made It 1a wound upon a hol
low spindle holding several hundred
yards In length. A roll of the paper |
la alowly unwound, being saturated,
with a mixture of live parta oT aulpbu- !
rlc acid and two parts of nitric acid
which falls upon it In a line spray.,
Thla changes the cellulose of the pa
per Into propylln guncotton. The ex
cess of the acid la expelled by pres
sure and the paper bleached.
After thoroughly drying the pulp
there Is added to It a due proportion j
of camphor. Thla Is done by carefully |
weighing, mixing the two ingredients
thoroughly and pressing In canvas
Jackets between plates. It la at this
point that the dye matter is added to
make the celluloid any dealred color.
In the next operation the mixture la
subjected to the grinding and presaure
of masticators. The machlnea are sim
ply heavy Iron rollers about four feet
long, geared together to turn Inward.
Aa the grinding continues the mass be
comes more and more homogeneous,
and nearer to the flniahed appearanoe
of celluloid.
It la then taken from the masticators
In the form of huge aheeta, eight feet
by four feet in slse and one Inch thick.
Three sheets are plied one on top of ,
the other until they All a heavy Iron
box. which later la run under a steam 1
heated hydraulic press, where It re
tnalna under enormous presaure for
about two houra. Thla la done for the
purpose of welding the auperimpoaed
sheets together In tha form of a solid
eatK
Orj/removal the big celluloid cake la
(flit Into aheeta of the dealred thick
ness Thla may vary from one-thoua- '
andth of an Inch to a full Inch or mora
according to the variety of good a Into
which the material la to be worked.
After cutting, the aheeta are hung up
In drying rooms six or seven months
to "season," celluloid having the pecu
liar warping qualities of wood If work
ed up without due regard to this fact.
1 From the seasoning rooms ths aheeta
go to the varioua departments of ths
factory. Those taken to the novelty de
partment are cut, turned and pressed
Into any number of fanoy article*. Tba
entailer articles are cut out of the
aheeta of celluloid while cold, then
dipped Into hot water, bent and shaped
and plunged Into cold water again to
retain their shape. The comb manu
facture la simpler than the hard rub
ber. The teeth are a tamped out with
dlea, either by hand or machinery, and
are then pollahed with cold water and
pumice stone. Combs are cut from
sheets of "amber," "tortoise shell"
and "Ivory" celluloid. All three of
these compoeltiona are carefully made
and the Imltatlona of the genuine
aubstance are so faithful aa frequently
to paaa through the handa of experts
undetected.
Shoes as Thlef-Takera' Aid.
"Shoes have played an Important
part In the capture of criminals." saya
Detective William Barrett, of Buffalo. '
"Had It not been for the footwear of
oertain thlevea thoy would never have
been caught. It la not ao long ago
that I and two othera were detailed
on a case, snd before we caught our ,
man another ahop had been burglar-
Iced.
"We looked at the marka about the '
wlndowa and noticed tbey were acrap
ed by nalla. We went back to the
other place and found the aame con
dltlona. Later we went to a well
known reeort and found a man alttlng
In a chair. He had hla feet Incased In
a neat fitting pair of ahoea, but for ;
some reason he had naila put in the
heela. We 'jumped' him at once, and
searching hla rooms we diacoverea
enough to atart a atore. He later
explained fjiat the nails were put la
hla ahoea to aid In roof climbing.
"Squeaky ahoea have caused the ar- !
rest of aeveral thieves right In this
precinct. The other night a thief :
bought a pair of cheap ahoea and tbey ■
were very mualcal. The man got Into
a place and before he got anything hla
noisy shoes gave him away and he
waa caught. All clever crlmlnala have 1
a penchant for buying good, aoft ahoea.
They pay a good price for them and
tbey are repaid sometimes by getting
Off with the swag to pay up for what
they spent"

Block System of ftlgn ailing Sus

Mo arc he Boyal Tralna Prrreded
by Pilot Banters at all Times
I Guarded by Railway Officials.
Royalty o« U ft railroad presents
to the busy American aome very
amusing aa poets. Every time King
Edward gooa from one part of Eng
land to another the mercantile com
munity of Oroat Britain loaea some
thing Ilka SM«« Thla Is due to the
fact that Bagllab railway officials use
most extraordinary methods In safe
guarding royal trains. Even In per
forming so almpte a Journey aa go
tag from Wlndaor to I^ondon—a dls
| tanoe of about IB miles—traffic Is
suspended for hours wlien the king
travels that way.
| On longer Journeys, the loaa to
, business houses along the line of
royal route Is something enormous.
When the king laat Journeyed from
Scotland to London It WHS estimated
that the direct losa to tradesmen was
1 something like 116,000 on account
of the tying up of traffic and delay to
perlahable goods.
When King Bdward travela along
a oertain line all passenger and
| freight traffic—even Including the
faat expreaa service Is suspended.
Most elaborate precautions of every
description are taken, to Inaure royal
safety. For Instant, for 16 min
utes before the departureof the royal
train from any atatlon all tralna are
held up.
The ordinary block system of sig
nalling la auapended, as being too
dangerous for monarchs. Railway
officials do not seem to consider this
a reflection on their own methods for
safeguarding the public. They know,
1 however, that if any of the royal
' party should be Injured when trav
eling on any apeclnl line, that par
ticular Una would "aee Its flnlah," so
far -aa the British traveling public
Is concerned.
1 Kach portion of the line on which
the king travels la guarded from sec
tion to suction by railroad men with
flaga. They direct the movement ef
the train. There are two signalmen
to' every quarter of a mile. For in
stance, In signalling the train from
Folkestone to Londpn, upward of 888
men aro inquired.
T When hla majesty la about to trav
el the railway station Is cleared of all
ordinary passengers, and only a fav
ored few are allowed on the plat
form. Just before the royal carriage
drives up a roll of crimson velvet
carpet 1s carefully laid along the
platform betwoen the king's earring*
and the train.
Usually the king's carriage la pro
ceded by a few outsiders men on
horseback who clear the way—and
not Infrequently by o small body of
cavalry, the Horse guurdH being the
favored regiment, as the king him
self Is a colonel 111 that regiment.
Railway officials line the platform
and make a low bow aa tils majesty
passes by en route to his carriage.
Usually the president of the road -
or "managing director," ho is
termed In England accompanies the
king; though, of course, In a sepa
rate carriage. It would not do for a
mere railroad president In ISngland
to rldo In the same compartment
with the king himself.
1 The reward of the managing di
rector for his somewhat perfunctory
task Is, however, often (julta great.
Knighthood, the Order of the Garter,
| and other honors are often conferred
I by the king upon men who have
! helped to make his Journeys pleas
ant by their official presence,
i As the king passes along the rail
way platform the vurlous officials
move in such a manner that they arc
always facing th* royal party. Many
an official has lost hla Job by Inad
vertently turning hla back upon
1 some member of tho royal family
I when passing to a train.
As soon as the king Is snnted In his
carriage, one of the railway directors
| reverently approaches King Edward,
1 handing him a dozen copies of the
. way bill of the Journey. Thl« Is
printed In letters of gold on purple
■llk, and is really an elaborate time
i table.
The name, rank and occupation of
every person traveling on the road
on the royal train la also printed on
the way bill. Its practical use Is to
remind his majesty that on the name
train with him are numerous officials
each ready for anything In the way
of a "tip" froin BO cents up to a ba
ronetcy.
If Queen Alexandra should be
traveling with the king, or perhaps
alone, she Is presented with a bunch
of flowers Just as the train moves
from the atatlon. The presentation
Is made always by some little girl—
the daughter of an official, or of a lo
cal mayor.
The speed of royal trains Is lim
ited to 40 miles an hour. King Ed
ward rejoices in the possession of
several royal trains, which are used
exclusively for conveying his majes
ty, the queen, and members of their
suite. When great potentates, such
as the kaiser, the king of Italy, or
the like, visit England, royal trains
are plaoed at their disposal. King
Edward has recently suspended the
practice of placing (he royal train at
the convenience of dusky monarchs,
who so frequently visit England; a
practice Always observed In Queen
Victoria's reign. She even received

THS DECLINE OP - APPLEJACK.
r'actlng of a Beverage One* Famous
in York and Jsrssy Towrta.
Applejack has alwaya bean popu
larly regarded aa a tipple for the pro
ductlon of which New Jersey waa par
ticularly responsible. Aa a matter o*
fact, says the New York Sun, Orange
county, N. Y., from the earliest history
of applejack making and until ths laat
year or two, wis a larger producer of
th liquor than any one dlatrlct of
Nt-'v Jersey, and at one time distilled
aa much of It aa all New Jersey.
The oldeat applejack distillery la
the United State* la at Warwick, and
In that town alone a few year* ago
there were twenty-three of the distil
leries. The pioneer still at Warwick
haa been operated continuously by ths
Say re family since 1811. The worm
uaed In the atlll waa brought from
England years before the revolutionary
war, and waa uaed at Newburgh until
purchased by the original Say re In 111!
and removed to Warwick, a royalty
being paid to the English government
for Its use up to the time of Ul4 revo
lution.
The capacity 0f, 4 the old Say re still
when the demand for apple whisky
worked It to Us full was 20.(100 gallons
for the season. Koruu'rly whisky was
mad« in all parts of Orange county,
and (he county paid to the govern
ment an aimnial tax of $125,000 on Its
production, more than twice as muoh
as aiiy other d strict In (he union paid
on (he distilling of spirlta from fruit.
A few years ago a number of the
largest among the farmer distillers ot
applejack In Orange county became
cuii verts to temperance during a cru
sade and abandoned their stills, refus
ing also to sell (heir apple crop to any
purchaser who Intended it for distill
ing.
Time was when a farmer's hospital
ity was gauged in Orange county by
the readiness with which he produced
the jug of "apple,' 'and the alacrity
with which he replenished It when Its
contents ran low.
But for years past the demand for
applejack has grown lets and less, not
only the local demand, but In the
trade generally.
The reasons given for the decline In
the demand for applejack are various.
One is that the large and growing
consumption of beer has supplanted
the taste for strong liquor, and that
appljack has had to suffer with the
rent of Its kind, but the fact Is that
there ia more rye drunk In the apple
jack country today than there ever
was of applejack.
Hut the chief and all-sufflclent rea
son for the passing of appletack 1s
that the Internal revenue tai on apple
whisky la the same as It Is on rye or
corn whisky, and thst to make a gal
lon of whisky out of grain costs the
distiller about one-fourth what It costs
to make it from apples.

A Cutthroat's Club.
"The rivo Points," the meaning of
whoa* name la unexplained, are •
cheerful gang of cutthroats juat dis
covered. Their dark deeds read Ilk*
gory stories of pirates of old. A young
fallow of twenty, arreated for having
■hot down and half killed a woman
whom he bad never seen before It tos
Boulevard de Cllchy, where the now
faahlonabls Montmartre music ball*
are, told the police. "All I meant to do
wa* to qualify." On fnrtber Inquiry
It was found that he was a probation
ary member of the "Five Points" gang.
He had been accepted as a candidate
for full honor* five months before, ana
had gone about with the gang on bus
iness. But he lacked the necessary
qualification for complete membership.
The first rule of the cutthroats' club la
that "every full member must havi
at least once kill** or attempted to
kill soms man or woman." Robbery,
burglary, arson, and other mlnoi
crimes qualify you for only the proba
tionary stags, that reached by out
hero. ~
for five month* he vainly tried to
■craw his courage to the sticking plac
and waa despised a* being too full ol
the milk of human kindness bjr tht
band of brothera, for whom he acted
aa a mere fag, not on a footing ol
equality with them. At last, taunted
by them to desperation, he said, "1
will bear It no longer; 1 will kill some
body this Instant," and a woman pass
ing by him as he spoke, he added,
"Here goes!" and fired his revolver
point blank at her temple. She fell,
he ran, but waa caught by the police.
The gang got off and cried as they dis
appeared around the corner, to th«
novice who had Just qualified: "You
•hould have used the knife Instead ol
a revolver."
