|^vr I ?-> ? " T ' " The Invention of the material known jQ.j celluloid hay not ouly placed a now word In the dictionary, but has produced a revolution in many branches ,of industrial art. The word 'celluloid" takes its name from celluloso, Die chemical designation applied to the walls of the colls of vegetable fibre, and the Greek adjective oit/os. f 'piifying that which bears; a resemblance to something else. The material is composer! of nitrocellulose?that is, cellulose treated with a mixture of vitrei and nitric uoid and gum camphor, together with such pigments for coluring matter as are appropriate to the production of different kinds of celluloid. In brief,the ; 'vee.ss consists in reduciug the nitro- ! .ce'oilose to a firm pulp, and mingling therewith thirty or forty per centum .of finely pulverized gum-camphor, villi S'li 'le proportions of ?-?<? agents, and subjecting the cotiriomul to immense pressure in a healed receptacle. When the heat has reduced the camphor to a liquid, t leni'ro-cellulose enters into combination with it, t. aii: forming its particles J*< uj their ill . .... *. . hilon into a homogeneous one, modi lied by the etunphoi, t..> resultant I .ag u hue, close!y-coiupciclpd, beautiful jnitea. In api ?Mi;y e, it is made to r< i-en\!>' '. jet, coral, nin': r, malachite, tortoi. e-sht 11, liiripueic, or various o cr productions of jinture, W 11 i t ic rotr.piIy dried, it is nearlx as hard as ivory, but is tumdi more durable, inasmuch as it is impervious to wider, oils, dilute acids, and the common 'iquids. Atmospheric i l.Uionccs have no effect ?i| >?n it. J'osm ess ing gre? j strength and toughness, it far j asst's vulcanite or In:rd-rubbcr in these rcsvccs. It is combu Mible in a ?*ense similar to that of pirch-pino settling-wax, hard-rubber .and many other manufactured products, but possesses no peculiar dan;, rs beyond t his point. .Owing c> tlie nature oK t no material of v.njeh it is composed, it is , readily formed into various scapes, <eitlur by turning or cutting, or by jiro sure in heated molds, Jl lias been applied with entire success to theproducLjon of jewelry, ban lies for 1al)b? cutlery, i lutes for /irtitieial teeth, bucks of toilet In italics, combs, permi houses. trimming for linrpe>s. frames for eye-glasses, etc. 'I ho maimfacturo of an imitation of coral has been carried to such a pitch of j perfection, that even experts among importers have been deceived. Yet iis i anlly fair to call it an imitation, mnce no pretense is made t hat the jowl olry is other than celluloid, though the ivsem bianco to coral is absolutely pcriVef. A!'parently there is no limit to tiie purposes to whieh it may h?? applied. i'.s indestructibility acids largely to it.-> value. Celluloid was invented iu is7'? by the brothers Hyatt, who at tlint time resided in Albany, but are now est a b- ' lished a! Newark, J. The in\oat ion was not a mere lucky diseovery, but was the result of patient ami laborious effort and experimentation, Tiie inventors knew of the existence of solidiiiej ctjllodiou, whieh results from dissolving a spoeies of gun-cotton in ether an 1 "leohol,anti then evaporating thes<d\ sits, lint all attempts to make this substance praetieally useful in the aits 'except in photography) hud failed, on ,account of the gi -at waste of expmi- I ?ivo solvents, and the difliculty of pro. j ihn ing it in large musses and in uniformity of (juality, Htill, solid collodion seemed to bo so desirable a prodied for many uses, thattlie inventors beat their ener; to so improve the process of tminnfaeluro as to bring it wi iiia a wine range of application, In t is effort tJiey succeeded belter eveil than they dared to hope, celluloid boil . r i i i It.. i. n 1 in * 1 : -1 . i- ,1 < >>? ,M . in iuji- nunu collodion, and adapted to a much gi'-atfr v.n i'-i y of uses than the latter could la', o\en if its manufacture were practicable, " The invention affords another example of the alertness of ilio American brain, ami t he indofatigability and comprenensivencss of Tam-ee injenuiiy. KLOul.l'.S .N l?SS. An almost, incredible ease of rocklcssnc s was in * estimated ut Barnsley, in Ling! md, recently. In ono of the I)odworth Sii ketone Go's Coal mine*, a, certain portion of the workings was odiciaily pronounced "dang'TouV' "n'l the colliers were warned not. to go i 111?. > it. Nevertheless, (woof tin men who hud heard the warning went into the place carrying open ltrills, and 0110 of them actually up- j plied his candle to a "bore-hole, unci i; uitcd the gas which was issirng from it. No serious harm was done, but the act was properly atigmatizocl by tiio owners of thooolliory, as one of I ,c giOBsest possible recklessness. Tiic magistrate thought that a penalty of ' Js. and costs should be suUicient, and they ^nipo?''d it accordingly. TO AVOID sr.KKl*JLl-:SSNi:S9, If you wish to sleep well, oat sparingly of early suppers, Avoid el! arguments or contested subjects near ni 'lit as well as any train of thoughts reheat - ing injuries, oven if lea), as all of tln se are likely to have a bad effect upon a person who is apt to be sleepless at. night. Avoid having too inueh company. Many itersons become so excited with the meeting of friends that sleep departs for a time, Thero i? probably nothing hotter, after cultivating a trancpiil mind, than exercise in the open air. liy observing these biniplo rules, sleeplessness, in the iriajoii: y of instances, may bo wiiolly cured. ffuNRV lloborts Marcus, who devised the evulsion train sy .tcmin ilngland, was killed recently, at the age of sev- ! cuty-two, by being run over by one of | fhuae ^ruins, | l. ] y"** < V t 'jA - 1 ?

"I will bet you," said the artist to his friend, "I will drink that, gentleman's coffee, and ho will thank me for doing it." "You are crazy." "You will see." "You know him then." "Come and see the proceeding for yourself." Very solemnly they approached the gentleman. j " Sir," said the artist, "1 am an irr spcetor of the Hoard of Health. If I j ask for coffee they will give me with- i out doubt a very good cup, for they know me. You, sir, whom they do not know, arc served like the rest of the world.

He bow< <1, and left the gentleman J to pay for the coffee lie had not had, j but profoundly grateful lor the care of the government. . a .v.oiu i, st(!di:nt, The "Rev. J)r. Kitchle, of Edinburgh, though ii vc: y clover man, unco met with his match. When examining u student as to the classes he had attended, he said : "And you attended the class for mat hematics?" "Yes." "How many sides has a circle?" "Two," said the student, "What are t hey?" What a laugh in the court, the student's answer produced when lie said, "An inside and an outside!" The doctor next inquired, "And you | attended the moral philosophy class | also?" "Yes." "Well you would hear lectures on various subjects. Did you ever hear one on cause and effect?" "Yes." "Does an effect ever go before a cause?" " Yes." "(live me an instance." "A man wheeling a wheelbarrow." The doctor then sat down and nro posed no 111010 questions. s r now hii;v m\i;i> it. A Now"? Yorker while journeying the oilier day, was recognized by another citizen doing business near the liowery, he being also away from homo on business, and altera litt lo preliminary conversation, the llrsl remarked : "Well, 1 hear that you had to make an assignment." " Yes, dat is drew," replied the \ ot her. "And your brother, over cn Chatham I street.; ho assigned too, didn't he?" "You zee it was shust like dis," said the Howery man.

"No, si:*, ! didn't!" said the Hoosior, in a loud \ oice.

"Now, doan ho onrensonin'," replied Jones, in a cajoling voice. "Jhtt you's got monoy in do blank!" shouted the first, "Yes, I know lend gld a check on I do bunk, but ?

At last ho espied one of these shy birds of the forest, and when he got ready to take aim ho discovered for the first time that, although his powder and shot were with him, "he had left his gun at home." A 1*0011 young man remarks that tl < only advice he gets from capitalists i to "live within Ids income," whereas the dillioulty ho experiences is to livi without un income, ' IOKRY WEKKbY?
