SOW CELLULOID IS MADE. A roll ot paper is slowly unwound, and at th» s .me saturated with a mix ture v»f five parts of sulphuric acid and two of nttrie, which falls upon the paper In a fine spray. This changes the cePuloae of the paper into fine pyroxylin* (gnu cotton). Ihe j excess of acid having been expelled by pressure the paper is washed with plenty of water until all traces of acid have been removed; P Is then reduced to pulp and parses on to the bleaching trough- Most of the water having been got rid of by means of a strainer a pulp is mixed with.from 20 to 40 per cent.of its weight ot camphor, thoroughly triturated under

millstones. The uecessary coloring matter having been added In the form ot powder, a second mlxiu ; und grinding follows. The finely divided pulp is then spread out in thin layers on slabs, and from twenty to twenty-five of these layers arc placed in a hydraulic pi tss, separated from one another by sheets of thick blotting paper. und are subjected to a pressure of 150 atmospheres until airtraces of moisture have been got ml of.
