CKLi.tri.oin. | Hie invention of the material known ' as celluloid lias not only plncod a now 1 word in tlie dictionary, but has pro- { ducod a revolution in many branches of Industrial art. Tlio word "collu- ! lold" takes its namo from cellulose, ; tho chemical designation applied to the walls of the cells of vegetable fibre, and the Greek adjeetlvo oidos, signifying that which bears a rescm- j bianco to nomet hlng else. Tho material is composed of nitrocellulose that is, cellulose treated with a mixture of vitrol and nitric j acid and gum camphor, together with such pigments for coloring matter us tiro appropriate to tho production of different Uludsof celluloid. Inbriof.tho i process consists in reducing tho nltro- , i?? . i 1: v' muwou i vj ?i i a & lit aim mmj;uiiK therewith thirty or forty por centum of llnely pulverized gum-camphor, , with suitable proportions of coloring agents, and subjecting the compound j t?> immense pressure in a heated re- j eeptuclo. When the heat has reduced ! the camphor to a liquid, the nitro-cel* i lulo.se i nfers into combination with it, ! transforming its particles from their ! hbr??us eonviiiijii into a homogeneous on>\ modified by the camphor, the rewnltant being a lino, closely-compacted, beautil'ul mass. In appearance, it is made to resemble ivory, jot, coral, umber, malachite, tortoise-shell, turquoise, or various other productions of nature. When thoroughly dried, it la nearly as hard us ivory, hut is much more durable, inasmuch as it is impervious to water, oil , dilute aeids, and the common liquids. Atmospheric inlluences havo no effort upon it. Possessing gro&. strength and toughness, it far surpasses vuleanito or hard-rubber in these respects. It is combustiblein a [ icnse similar to that of pitch-pine, ' sealing-wax, hard-rubber and many j other manufactured products, butpos- ! sosses no peculiar dangers beyond this j point. Owing to tho nn'uro of tho ! material of which it, is composed, it is rcmlily formed ito various shapes, j cither by turning or cutting, or by ! pressure in 11o:11?'<I molds. 1( has born applied with entire suceo^ to thepioduction of jewelry, ; handles for table out levy, plates for aililU iiil teeth,backs of toilet brushes, combs, pencil-eases, trimming for harness, frames for eye-glasses, etc. Tho manufaeturo of an imitation of coral lias been carried to such a pitch of perfection, that even experts among importers have boon deceived. Yet iis hurdly fair to call it an imitation, since no pretense is made that the jewt dry is other than celluloid, though tho resemblance to coral is absolutely perfect. Apparently there is 110 limit to tho purposes to which it may bo upplied. Its indestructibility adds largo, ly to its value. Celluloid was {avoided in 1870 by tho brothers llyutt, who at that time roslded in Albany, but arc now cstub lished at Newark, N. J. The invention was not a inero lucky discovery, but was the result of patient and laborious effort and experimentation. The inventors knew of tho existence of solidified collodion, which results from dissolving a species of gun-cotton in other and alcohol,and then evaporating the solvents. But all attempts to mako this substance practically useful in tho arts (except in photography) had failed, on account of tho grout waste of oxpen sivo solvents, ana tnc tiiiucuity or pro. . duoing. it in lurgo musses and in uni. fonnity of quality. Htill, solid collodion seemed to bo so desirable a product for many uses, that the inventors bent their energies to so improve tlio process of manufacture as to bring it within a wide range of application. In this effort they succeeded better even than they dared to hope, celluloid being different in structuro from solid collodion, and adapted to a much greater variety of uses than the latter could be, even if lis manufacture were practicable. The invention affords another example oT the alertness of the American brain, and the indefatigabllityand comprehensiveness of Yankee ingenuity. ; . . . KIXKI.ESSNKSS. An almost incredible caso of rooklessness was investigated ut Burnsley, * in England, recently. In ono of the Dodworth & Siikstono Co s Coal mines, a certain portion of the workings was officially pronounced "dangerous," and tlio colliers were warned not to go into it. Nevertheless, two of the men who hud hcurd the warning went into the placo carrying open lights, and ono of them actually applied his candle to a "bore-hole," and ignited the gas which was issuing from if. No serious harm was done, but tlio act was properly stigmatized by the owners of the colliery, as ono of the grossest possible recklessness. nn. ^ ? i- j - ?> t ? ?i x xiiu umgisiruio inousni mar a penalty of 40s. and costs should bo sufficient, and they imposed it accordingly. to avoid ni.kki'i.kssness, If you wish to sleep well, eat sparingly of early suppers. Avoid all arguments or eontosted subjects* near night as well as any train of thoughts rehearsing injuries, oven if real, as all of these arc likely to have a bad effect upon a person who is apt to bo sleepless at night. Avoid having too much company. Many persons become so excited with the meeting of friends that sleep departs for a time. Thoro is probably nothing bettor, after cultivating a tranquil mind, than exorcise in tho open air. Ry observing these simple'rules, sleeplessness, in tho majority of instances, may bo wholly cured. Henry Roberts Marcus, who devised the excursion train system in England, was killed recently, at tho ago of seventy-two, by being run over by ono of those trains. ' v.

ASCENU1NU THE 1'YltAMIDS. i How a Milwaukee (<cntlcnion Was Boosted Up Cheops. Leaving the green fields of the valley We ascend directly up a sand hill, upon the L)binn Desert, and are before the great Pyramid. A nice little hotel stands near by and here our halt is made, and we at ! once proceed to the Pyramid, perheps lorly rods away. At this point there are three ot those j extraordinary monuments. Due bi ? 1 yond at the site of old Memphis, perhaps three or hut miles, are si* or ( eight more, ot inf< rior size. Kor my I own pan. I was curious only to visit ( this ot Cheops, which is, say 700 let t j square at its base, and has a height ol 480 feet, covering about twelve acres ol land. As we approach the place ol ascent any i umber ol Bedouin Arahs ol the desert arc there ready to assist us ill , the tremendous climb.

Til U ASCICNT. The service needed lor the ascent of the Pyramids is quite well regulated. The Sheik of the neighboring village has the custody of the place, and regulates the service and collects the lets. It costs to each person a lee for going np ol fifty cents, and lor entering to the interior another titty cents. Kit her or both may he taken at the option ol the visitor. To each pel sou ascending I two or three Arabs are assigned to 1 help.
