The Manufacture and Varied Uses of a Pop

“Look out!”
The reporter dodged back as if he
had inadvertently touched an electric
coil.
“Great heavens, man! Do you want
to burn your fingers?” continued the
merchant excitedly.
“What’s the matter?”
“Matter enough. Those eyeglasses
of yours are framed in celluloid, and
if you keep twirling them around in
your fingers too near that gas jot you
you will havo an explosion."
The reporter placed the dangerous
contrivance astride his nose, and the
merchant, who is one of the largest
dealers in celluloid goods in the city,
continued his conversation where this
incident had interrupted it
“Most celluloid is made in France,
Would you like to know how? Then
listen: A roll of paper is slowly un
wound, and at the same time is satu
rated with a mixture of five parts of
sulphuric acid and two parts of nitric
acid, which fails upon the paper in a
fine spray. This changes tlie cellulose
of the paper into pyroxyline (gun cot
ton). The excess of the acid having
been expelled by pressure, tho paper is
washed witli plenty of water until all
traces of acid have been removed. It
is then reduced to pulp, and passes on
to the bleaching trough. It is this guu
cotton which gives it its explosive na
ture.
"Most of the water having been got
rid of by means of a strainer, the pulp
is mixed with from twenty to forty per
cent of its weight of camphor, and tlie
mixture thoroughly triturated under
millstones. The necessary coloring
having been added in tho form of pow
der, a second mixing and grinding fol
lows. This pulp is spread out in thin
slabs, which aro squeezed in a hydrau
lic press until they are as dry as chips.
Then they are rolled in heated rollers
and come out in elastic sheets. They
are from that point worked up into
every conceivable form. You can get
celluloid collars, cuffs, hairpins, shirt
fronts, cravats, penholders, brushes
and combs, inkstands, knife handies,
jewelry and every tiling else, almost,
that you can imagine. I have seen in
Paris a room almost completely fur
nished witli celluloid. Tho curtains,
tho furniture, the door-knobs and even
the matting were made of this material.
You may be sure no matches wero over
carried there. Indeed, the room was
never used. It was only a curiosity,
and tlie man who owned it owned tlie
factory where it was made. These
rooms will never bo popular. Few
men, even in this rapid age, care about
being blown into tlie kingdom como in
small fragments, scorched and scat
tered, anil that would bo the fato of the

A MELANCHOLY JOURNEY.
Extraordinary Narrative nt a
(io an Erl. Train.
raraeagai
Among tho passengers on an Erie
railway express train from the West
was a middle-aged man who had in bis
charge a little golden-haired girl, three
or four years old, whose piquant ways
and bright sayings made her a general
favorite. A gentleman sitting in tho
next seat in front of tho passenger w ith
the child remarked to her guardian
that the longest and most tedious jour
ney would be made cheery by such a
traveling companion as his.
"Yes,” replied the passenger, “but
notwithstanding tlie sunshine of her
presence, she is a constant reminder to
me of one of tlie most melancholy jour
neys I ever undertook. Her mother
was my only sister, who lived in Craw
ford County, Pennsylvania. 1 had not
seen her for over fifteen years, and, in
fact we had both neglected our corres
pondence with each other, and 1 had
not heard from her in over a year, In
the meantime I had changed my ad»
dress in New York, where I live, and
she of course did not know it Last
week I had business in Eric, and I
made up my mind to take advantage of
tho trip and make my sister a visit and
also visit another relative in Tioga
County, whom I had not seen in many
years. Sunday a week ago I stopped
off at Meadvillo and drovo to tlie littl-
farming village where Mrs. Cole lived,
and was directed to the house, but no
ticed that the man looked at me in e
very strange manner. I drovo up t,
tlie house, and my knock was answerer
by my brother-in-law. He knew in-
and grasped my hand, but said not it
word, being overcome by seme great
emotion. At last he said:
“ ‘How did you hear of it?’
•• ’Of what, John?’ I said.
‘I have
hoard nothing. How is Emma?’
" 'Emma is dead!’ he replied.
"Emma was my sister. She had died
on the Friday previous, and had been
buried but an hour or two when I ar
rived at her house. This little ont
hero was the only living child my sistei
had. My brother-iu-ljw has large in
terests in Illinois, and, as his presence
in that State is necessary at frequeni
intervals, he accepted my proposition
to take his child into my own family.
Fortunately she took a liking to me,
and I brought her with me.
"On our way East we got off at El
mira. as I intended to mako the visit to
my Tioga County relativo, although not
with tlie feelings I had when I first
looked forward to tlie visit Tills was
Sunday evening. There was no train
to my destination until tho next day.
In the reading room of the hotel near
the depot where I stopped I picked up
a local newspaper. In looking over its
pages I saw an item headed ‘An En
tire Family Killed.’
I read it
It
seems, according to the item, that on
Friday of week before last a farmer
near Athens, l’a., was amazed to soc
a team of runaway horses, which had
evidently broken away from a wagon
to which they had been hitched, dash
ing down tlie road toward his house,
where they turned from tho road
and entered the farmer's yard. They
worn canglit, and tho farmer went
buck in tlie direction from which tho
runaways had come, to seo what had
happoned to tlie person or persons to
whom tho team belonged. lie had not
gone far before lie saw in the road the
wreck of a spring wagon, which had
been crashed by an immense hemlock
tree which had fallen upon it as it was
passing that spot Beneath tho trunk
of tho tree lay the dead bodies of a man,
a woman apparently ills wife, and one
child. Held down bv a branch of tho
tree were two other children, not dead,
hut unconscious. The former summoned
help and tho treo was removed and tho
three dead bodies and tho unconscious
children were taken to the farm iiouse.
Tho two children died a little later.
The man’s name, the paper said, was
George Bakewell, of Tioga County,
who, with his family, was visiting near
Athens, and to which place ho was
driving when tho hemlock treo, which
was partly decayed, was blown down
just as he was driving past George
Bakewell was the relative I was even
then on my way to visit, and on in
quiry 1 found that he and thia George
Bakewell, who had, with his entire
family, been crushed out of existence
in an instant were one and the same.
So you may well see," concluded the
passenger, "that it has not been possi
ble for even this little ono's sunshine to
brighten this melancholy journey of
luino.”— N. Y. Sun.
Th« Qray-Hair Puller.
Possibly tho most unique method of
earning • living known is that adopted
by ii big, rosy, twenty-year-old blonde,
who finds engagements with women
just lamenting their first gray hairs, to
weed out, so to speak, those obnoxious
reminders of advancing years. The
gray-hair pullor is gentle in her methods
of treatment and makes periodic visits
at intervals of a few weeks, spending
from half an hour to two or three
hours, lotting down tho hair, combing
it out and spying for tell-tale silver
threads. She carries an innocent-look
ing little reticulo which contains vari
ous glycerine and rose-water prepara
tions for a healing application when
the work of torture has been done. It
is not especially disagreeable work and

Valuable
Suggestions That
Well Worth Trying.

"Wliat should a man use to clean
his teeth?” asked a reporter of a well-
known dentist recently.
‘Nothing but water.
There are
more good teeth ruined by so-called
dentifrices than by nil other causes in
tho world puttogother.
The object oi
the makers of thuso dentifrices is, of
course, to produce a preparation that
will, with very little rubbing of the
brush, mako the teeth look perfeclly
clean and white. To nflpomplish this
they put pumico stone, and sometimes
strong alkalies, in their preparations.
Pumice stone will unquestionably taks
all tlie enamel with it. An alkali will
make a yellow tooth look white in a
few seconds, but before a week has
passed it will have eaton away nearly
all the enamol and utterly destroyed
the tooth.
"In walking along tho street you
often see a ’fakir,' by way of adver
tising his patent dentifrices, call a
small boy from the crowd near by, and
opening the boy’s mouth, rub the
dentifrice on his dirty teeth, and in a
minute almost takes off all the tartar
and makes the teeth look perfectly
puro and white. Now, a man like that
fakir ought to be arrested, for he hns
forever destroyod the boy’s tooth. His
preparation, composed of a powerful
alkali, is eating away the enamel oi
tho boy’s teoth, and in a few months
the boy will not have a sound tootli in
his head. The dentifrices, composed
chiefly of pumice stone, aro not as bad
as those containing an alkali, because
they will not destroy the teeth so
quickly; but, if used habitually, they
will certainly destroy them in tho end.
I should advise any man by all moans
to uso no dontifrico of any descrip
tion, unloss it be pieparod chalk. II
this is used not oftener than once
a week it will not injure tho teeth,
and
may help to cleanso them,
but it should on no account bo used
every day. Orris root does the tooth
no harm and gives a pleasant odor to
tho breath, and if all our dentifrices
wero composed simply of orris root
and propared chalk they would be
harmloss enough, if not beneficial.
“My own plan is to uso a moderate-
ly hard brush and plonty of cold
water, and nothing else, and my toeth
aro in exeolent condition. If people
would only pick their teeth carefully
after each meal, making suro that not
tho slightest particle of food remains
near the gums or between tho teeth,
and would, also, bafore retiring at
night, run a pieco of soft throad
through their teeth, tliey would not
have any necessity for a dentifrice.
Of course, sweotmeals and candies
aro bad for tho tooth; so is smoking,
or taking very hot or cold drinks; but,
bad as all these undoubtedly aro, 1
really think tho worst enemy the tooth
has is tlio so-called dentifrico. Take
tlie advico of a dontist and never uso
any thing for your toeth but a bri sli
and good cold water.”—N. Y. Mail
