According to his books, there has been since last year 4 net increase of $209,685 in property HOW FIREWORKS ARE MALE. An Industry That Has Recently Been Largely Developed. MANY RICH COMBINATIONS OF COLOR. z Brilliant Lightand Flame That Mlumine the Skies at Night—The Curiosities of the Novel Japanese Day Fireworks. The firecrackers in use in this country are all imported. They cannot be manufactured so cheap here as in Europe. But the fireworks which are now 80 extensively used are all made here. There are more than eighteen large factories in the Northern States, which turn out many millioa worth of pyrotechnics annually. The chief seut of this class of industry is in East New York and Williamsburg. There is one factory in Rochester, one in Cincinnati and Chicago, and one in San Francisco, besides a number of smaller establishments of this kind which are scattered all ovér the country. Fireworks have become very popular within the last ten years. “The owners of hotels and the managers of watering places ‘and-other pleasure resorts, as wellas of county and State fairs, picnics, etc., all bear witness that fireworks draw larger crowds, en” tertain a larger nuniber of people. and pay better in comparison to the cost of the display thancany other attractions can. Aside from their uses ‘on the national holiday,’ they have become the proper thing for lawn parties; serenades,. receptions, political parades and mass meetings, centennials and mass meetings, and other celebrations of important events. Gunpowder is atill the principal ingredient of fireworks, and as is , well known three materials enter. into the composition of gunpowder, saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal. These ingredients are firet separately ground into fine powder, then mixed in the proper proportions and afterward committed to the mill for the purpose of incorporating their component parts in the special body to be produced. The latter process is generally carried on in a numbér of little wooden huts with light reofs, so that in case of accidental explosions the roof may fly off without.difficulty and in the least injurious direction. When the powder has been dusted and glaze it is dried in the stonehouse, where great care is taken to avoid exposion. Another important ¢ ingredient in fireworks is steel du Being mixed with ‘mealed powder or some ‘other composition, ay/d the mixture,inflamed in a proper abe, a jet of fire is. produced wifh a most brilliant effect. Tr lings, when free from dust, are so often used. But firework-makers generally prefer cast iron reduced to powder, There are many other’ substances occasionally employed in the composition of fireworks which caa be pro” cured from all chemists and diuggists. They are chiefly camphor, antimony, which gives to the fire. different and particular shades of color; benzoic acid, which imparts to the fire an agreeable odor, and spirits of wine or camphorated spirits, used for mixing up the ingredients into a paste.The goodness of the article to be produced depends as much on the construction .of the molds: that are used as on the purity’ of the ingredients. The molds consist chiefly of solid and hollow cylinders,’ made either of wood or metal. Both are used in the construction of rockets. Then there is a machine for contracting the aperture of the cases, the operation of which is called choking; another for boring them after they are filled, and a simple apparatus for grinding the .materials previous to their being filled into the cases. Rockets have ever held: the first place among single fireworks since the invention of the art, and to which they are justly entitled, both for the, pleasing appearance they produce when fired by themselves, and the extensive application of them to increase the beauty of the other exhibitions. The parachute rocket discharges: at great height a floating car of heavy caliber, suspended from a parachute, which is set free, expanded. and illuminated by the bursting of the rocket when it reaches its elevation. These parachutes float a long distance, and change colors several times before disappearing. Another rocket is called the ‘‘comei.” It ascends to a great height, and discharges a single star of large size and great brilliancy, which changes color several times, while floating slowly. away, then suddenly. resolves itself into a revolving wheel of brilliant fire, ending with a burst of tinted meteors. Colored fires, for theatrical use, tableaux and outdoor illuminations, are now made free from disagreeable smell while burning. They consist of a dry powder, which is spread in a metallic dish. A brilliant and~daz> zling illumination ia produced by Bengal lights, which are slow burning. A. novelty are the Bengal-light books, which consist of a book of six leaves, with three strips to each leaf. A strip ‘. or leaf is torn from the book and then lighted. It burns with a brilliant red ‘. or green illumination. ~ Pieces of fireworks, which are harmless and can be used by ladies and children, are the flower pots, They are shower cases, throwing out while burning remarkable streams of beautiful spur fire and spangles, presenting the appearance of a fountain of brilliant fire. Flower pots are held in the hagd by the handle. There are a number of wheels, which in, their rev lutions, throw out circles of beauboard, . tiful and dazzling spangles. These ' . wheels are attached to a smooth, upright post by a round nail through the centre hub. The finest of these wheels are composed of six cases of brilliant fire, eacli one, after firing, changing in the form and appearance of their scintillations, and exhibiting, atthe same time, variegated colored centre rings, changing to the most brilliant colors known to the pyrotechnist. Floral bombshells show in burning all the choice colors known to the art, consisting of gold, crimson, red, blue and variegated stars of all shades. They project a bombshell in the air the distance of about 300 feet, which then explodes and throws out stars of every hue, mingled with showers of golden rain. . A very amusing and beautiful display is made by. the ‘‘colored flying pigeons,’’ These pyrotechnic curiosities fly a distance through the air of 100 to 300 feet and return back. to or wire fastened to posts or trees upen which the pigeons fly. is One of the grandest exhibits in pyrotechny, are the aerial bouquets. A large quantity of rockets are grouped together ina mass at ene time, unfolding hjgh in the air a beautiful pyrotechnic bouquet sparkling with the richest colored gems. Within the last few years a new ‘kind of fireworks has become very popular, which is used upon the water only. The fuses are lighted and the pieces are then thrown from the shore or the boat into the water, with the lighted end ‘uppermost. They are called diving devils, flying 2shes, Roman floaters, spray fountains, water wheels, ete.,, and exhibit many pleasing and wonderful effects, divipg into the water and arising again. Captain Bogardus, the champion shot, invented the shell cartridges, which are. named after’ him, They are central fireworks; cartridges fired from a ten or twelve bore breech-loading shotgun. They shoot high up in the air, where a small shell explodes and makes @ fine display of fireworks, Japanese (iaylight fireworks consist of shells, which comprise a selection of curiosities, such as animals, fish, birds, caricatures, dragons, beautifully colored smoke, effects, ete. They are thrown from a mortar to a high alltitude, when’the figures are released, Many float throngh the air to the ‘onderment of the beholder. ‘To the same class of fireworks belong the hot air balloons and the animal figure balloons, which are made of tissue paper tinted and colored, and in the shape of large pigs, elephants and fishes. After being inflated they are sent up, and present in the air a lifelike representation of the animal. Some of these balloons have fireworks attachments, which are set-off in midair, exhibiting in all varieties of “color a bursting of shells, showers of golden rain and the dazzling brilliancy of the meteor. the market in assorted cases, which range in price from $10 to $200. A case that can be bought for $50 contains 396 colored Roman candles, 144 sky rockets, 24 flower pots with han dles, 18 Bengal lights, 16 colored triangle wheels, 21 mines of colored stars, six colored stars, six colored vertical wheels, six dozen pin wheels, 12 dozen colored lights, 24 sticks of Chinese punk and one unexcelled colored show bill. Extra large pieces are sold single. Agirandole costs about $125, a flight of rockets from $85 to $100, anda piece called ‘‘vhirling phantoms,’’ $62. HE aie +4 One and OneThird Fare.

Smith of Mount Pleasant announces his name as a candidate for County Clerk in our present issue. Mr. Smith it will be remembered was a candidate’ for. the position in 1886 and made a good run, The chances are altogether more favorable this year, and if he’should be fortunate enough to receive the nomination we feel sure of his success.’’ Tue earlier symtoms _ofdyspepsia, such as distress affer eating, heartburn, and occasional headaches, should not be neglected.

According to his books, there has been since last year 4 net increase of $209,685 in property HOW FIREWORKS ARE MALE. An Industry That Has Recently Been Largely Developed. MANY RICH COMBINATIONS OF COLOR. z Brilliant Lightand Flame That Mlumine the Skies at Night—The Curiosities of the Novel Japanese Day Fireworks. The firecrackers in use in this country are all imported. They cannot be manufactured so cheap here as in Europe. But the fireworks which are now 80 extensively used are all made here. There are more than eighteen large factories in the Northern States, which turn out many millioa worth of pyrotechnics annually. The chief seut of this class of industry is in East New York and Williamsburg. There is one factory in Rochester, one in Cincinnati and Chicago, and one in San Francisco, besides a number of smaller establishments of this kind which are scattered all ovér the country. Fireworks have become very popular within the last ten years. “The owners of hotels and the managers of watering places ‘and-other pleasure resorts, as wellas of county and State fairs, picnics, etc., all bear witness that fireworks draw larger crowds, en” tertain a larger nuniber of people. and pay better in comparison to the cost of the display thancany other attractions can. Aside from their uses ‘on the national holiday,’ they have become the proper thing for lawn parties; serenades,. receptions, political parades and mass meetings, centennials and mass meetings, and other celebrations of important events. Gunpowder is atill the principal ingredient of fireworks, and as is , well known three materials enter. into the composition of gunpowder, saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal. These ingredients are firet separately ground into fine powder, then mixed in the proper proportions and afterward committed to the mill for the purpose of incorporating their component parts in the special body to be produced. The latter process is generally carried on in a numbér of little wooden huts with light reofs, so that in case of accidental explosions the roof may fly off without.difficulty and in the least injurious direction. When the powder has been dusted and glaze it is dried in the stonehouse, where great care is taken to avoid exposion. Another important ¢ ingredient in fireworks is steel du Being mixed with ‘mealed powder or some ‘other composition, ay/d the mixture,inflamed in a proper abe, a jet of fire is. produced wifh a most brilliant effect. Tr lings, when free from dust, are so often used. But firework-makers generally prefer cast iron reduced to powder, There are many other’ substances occasionally employed in the composition of fireworks which caa be pro” cured from all chemists and diuggists. They are chiefly camphor, antimony, which gives to the fire. different and particular shades of color; benzoic acid, which imparts to the fire an agreeable odor, and spirits of wine or camphorated spirits, used for mixing up the ingredients into a paste.The goodness of the article to be produced depends as much on the construction .of the molds: that are used as on the purity’ of the ingredients. The molds consist chiefly of solid and hollow cylinders,’ made either of wood or metal. Both are used in the construction of rockets. Then there is a machine for contracting the aperture of the cases, the operation of which is called choking; another for boring them after they are filled, and a simple apparatus for grinding the .materials previous to their being filled into the cases. Rockets have ever held: the first place among single fireworks since the invention of the art, and to which they are justly entitled, both for the, pleasing appearance they produce when fired by themselves, and the extensive application of them to increase the beauty of the other exhibitions. The parachute rocket discharges: at great height a floating car of heavy caliber, suspended from a parachute, which is set free, expanded. and illuminated by the bursting of the rocket when it reaches its elevation. These parachutes float a long distance, and change colors several times before disappearing. Another rocket is called the ‘‘comei.” It ascends to a great height, and discharges a single star of large size and great brilliancy, which changes color several times, while floating slowly. away, then suddenly. resolves itself into a revolving wheel of brilliant fire, ending with a burst of tinted meteors. Colored fires, for theatrical use, tableaux and outdoor illuminations, are now made free from disagreeable smell while burning. They consist of a dry powder, which is spread in a metallic dish. A brilliant and~daz> zling illumination ia produced by Bengal lights, which are slow burning. A. novelty are the Bengal-light books, which consist of a book of six leaves, with three strips to each leaf. A strip ‘. or leaf is torn from the book and then lighted. It burns with a brilliant red ‘. or green illumination. ~ Pieces of fireworks, which are harmless and can be used by ladies and children, are the flower pots, They are shower cases, throwing out while burning remarkable streams of beautiful spur fire and spangles, presenting the appearance of a fountain of brilliant fire. Flower pots are held in the hagd by the handle. There are a number of wheels, which in, their rev lutions, throw out circles of beauboard, . tiful and dazzling spangles. These ' . wheels are attached to a smooth, upright post by a round nail through the centre hub. The finest of these wheels are composed of six cases of brilliant fire, eacli one, after firing, changing in the form and appearance of their scintillations, and exhibiting, atthe same time, variegated colored centre rings, changing to the most brilliant colors known to the pyrotechnist. Floral bombshells show in burning all the choice colors known to the art, consisting of gold, crimson, red, blue and variegated stars of all shades. They project a bombshell in the air the distance of about 300 feet, which then explodes and throws out stars of every hue, mingled with showers of golden rain. . A very amusing and beautiful display is made by. the ‘‘colored flying pigeons,’’ These pyrotechnic curiosities fly a distance through the air of 100 to 300 feet and return back. to or wire fastened to posts or trees upen which the pigeons fly. is One of the grandest exhibits in pyrotechny, are the aerial bouquets. A large quantity of rockets are grouped together ina mass at ene time, unfolding hjgh in the air a beautiful pyrotechnic bouquet sparkling with the richest colored gems. Within the last few years a new ‘kind of fireworks has become very popular, which is used upon the water only. The fuses are lighted and the pieces are then thrown from the shore or the boat into the water, with the lighted end ‘uppermost. They are called diving devils, flying 2shes, Roman floaters, spray fountains, water wheels, ete.,, and exhibit many pleasing and wonderful effects, divipg into the water and arising again. Captain Bogardus, the champion shot, invented the shell cartridges, which are. named after’ him, They are central fireworks; cartridges fired from a ten or twelve bore breech-loading shotgun. They shoot high up in the air, where a small shell explodes and makes @ fine display of fireworks, Japanese (iaylight fireworks consist of shells, which comprise a selection of curiosities, such as animals, fish, birds, caricatures, dragons, beautifully colored smoke, effects, ete. They are thrown from a mortar to a high alltitude, when’the figures are released, Many float throngh the air to the ‘onderment of the beholder. ‘To the same class of fireworks belong the hot air balloons and the animal figure balloons, which are made of tissue paper tinted and colored, and in the shape of large pigs, elephants and fishes. After being inflated they are sent up, and present in the air a lifelike representation of the animal. Some of these balloons have fireworks attachments, which are set-off in midair, exhibiting in all varieties of “color a bursting of shells, showers of golden rain and the dazzling brilliancy of the meteor. the market in assorted cases, which range in price from $10 to $200. A case that can be bought for $50 contains 396 colored Roman candles, 144 sky rockets, 24 flower pots with han dles, 18 Bengal lights, 16 colored triangle wheels, 21 mines of colored stars, six colored stars, six colored vertical wheels, six dozen pin wheels, 12 dozen colored lights, 24 sticks of Chinese punk and one unexcelled colored show bill. Extra large pieces are sold single. Agirandole costs about $125, a flight of rockets from $85 to $100, anda piece called ‘‘vhirling phantoms,’’ $62. HE aie +4 One and OneThird Fare.

Smith of Mount Pleasant announces his name as a candidate for County Clerk in our present issue. Mr. Smith it will be remembered was a candidate’ for. the position in 1886 and made a good run, The chances are altogether more favorable this year, and if he’should be fortunate enough to receive the nomination we feel sure of his success.’’ Tue earlier symtoms _ofdyspepsia, such as distress affer eating, heartburn, and occasional headaches, should not be neglected.
