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.

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.

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

to know that wr?the two ladies
well as iho two genih-mou ? arc to g?>
up to the top <>( litis Pyramid ol
Cheops; and further you need to know
that we had now distanced in the
journey from Cairo all other coiners.
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. The general plan of helpfulness
would be lor an assist ant to lake hold
ol each hand, nod, standing upon a
tier of stone above, would pull, while
t be one standing behind w ould boost,"
So "lle-oo-heave," anil up moves the
visitor to take his wide-spread look
from the top.
The lirers of stone constituting the
steps ol the monument are, 1 should
judge, two and one-halt leei in thickness.
In the mainour route lay along
the northwest angle of the Pvramid.
