The Scientific American contain an illusUatcd article by Enos Iirown on the nino needle indus Iry as it in found in Southern Oregon. The article is an interest ing one, and is as follow: "The utilization of the yine nee dles of the Oregon yellow pino, bot anically Pimm fondcroFa, is be coming an industry of considerable importance on the Pacific Coast. Fifty years ago it was discovered that the extracts and products of the long, slender loaves of the pine possessed real efficacy in com plaints of a pulmonary character. It is claimed that insomnia yields to the inlluence of the pungent odor, and asthmatics have found real relief in, partaking of the oil and in sleeping upon pillows stuffed with the elastic and fra grant fiber manufactured from the interior substance of the pine nee dles. The illimitablo forests abounding in the state of Oregon, with their accessibility to through lines of transportation, suggested to a German from the forests of Turingia the transfer of a lucra tive business to the Pacific Coast. In Germany the leaves never ex ceed two inches in length, while in Oregon they often exceed thirty in ches, and average twenty. In the the former country the forest laws are extremely strict and often pro hibitive, obliging the maker of the product to use the dried leaves that have fallen on the ground and thus insuring an inferior and less effective quality of goods. In the Western State denuding the yellow pine of its leaves has been encour aged, tho expert of the Forestry Commission having pronounced the process beneficial. A tally kept of the weight gathered from a certain number of trees indicated that the crop gathered in April weighed 650 pounds, while that of the same trees gathered in October weighed 775 pounds. Two crops are gathered yearly, the first being always the largest. The leaves of the young trees are preferred, yield ing a better quality of oil it is said though this fact is doubted. The leaves are stripped from the trees by women and men who are hired for the purpose, and who are paid 25 cents a hundred pounds for the needles. Five hundred pounds is regarded as an average day's work. The leaves are packed into sacks and hurriedly sent to the factory. Exposure to the sun causes the leaves to wilt, and impairs the quality of the product, In pick ing the thickest bunches of leaves are selected, and the scanty ones neglected. The vast quantity avail able, so fur beyond any present de mand, permits the picker to thus discriminate. The factory at which the essences and extracts of the needles are manufactured has a capacity for handling 2000 pounds of leaves per day; but it is soon to be enlarged to about four times its present size. In the extraction of pine oil, 2000 pounds of green leavca are required to produce ten pounds of oil. The process is the ordinary one of distillation. In the manu facture of fiber the leaves pass through a process of steaming, washing, drying, etc., twelve in til occupying four days. Two quali ties are produced, first and second. The first, from which no oil has Iwen distilled, is worth upon the market about ten cents per pound. The fil er i i elastic, and the staple only a little shorter than the green ! leaf from which it is made, and with strength sufficient to enable it to be srmn in fabrics. Mixed with' hair, h ; fiber makes an excellent material for m; t e tes or pillows aod repo.-.e comes quickly when resting upon them. It is also used ai a. partial filling for cigars, imparting a flavor not tho least disagreeable, and calming' to the nerves. Toilet soaps are made, strongly imprcgnaied with esscnt tial oil of pine needles. The fiber itself, after curing, looks like a slender shaving of some dark wood, retaining its odor indefinitely. Insects abhor it on thnt account. It ii tald that the Oregon factory is the only ono in the world outside of Germany. " A Good Insurance Story. A certain lifo insurance comp any recenty received the following letter: Dear Sir: It is with sorrow that I take the pen to inform you that my dear wife, Anne Marienee Lin dcr, insured with you you will find that number in your index for the sum of 13,000, has died sud denly, 'leaving nio in this world in the bitterest despair. This painful blow befell me this day at seven o'clock in the morn ing. Will you try to get for me the amount insured as quickly as possible? The policy bears No. 21,702, 1 can say very sincerely and seriously that she was a faith ful wife and an accomplished mother. So that matters may pro ceed more rapidly I send you here with an official certificate of her death. Her illness was very short, nevertheless she suffered very much, which renders my sorrow the more intense. I trust that you will help me in consoling myself by sending mo very promptly the aforesaid amount, especially after having received my formal promise and I make it to you this very moment that when the time comes I shall insure my second wife for $G,000, double the amount of in surance of the defunct. My sorrow is immense; however, the prospect that you will hasten to satisfy me sustains me in this terrible trial. In the hope that I shall soon receive the amount insured, I and my children pray you to accept our sincere gratitude. Ex change. Q.
