As there is gas in the room, he couldn't have wanted the candle to undress by. He used stearine candles, too; not the common paraffin variety. I wonder why he went to that expense."
"Yes, I have failed; so has Fayerweather; so has Stearine." "Failed?" said Marcia, in an incredulous tone. "I thought it was the great people, I mean people in business, or with estates, that failed." "Well, have I not been in business?" "Yes, as secretary, and you have a salary. How can a man with a salary fail?" "Quite easily. Suppose the Vortex fails? My salary would stop."
Length of days, you see, as well as beauty and beneficence, mark this royal race which Linnæus placed alone! Cocoa-nuts are useful in many ways. The milk is pleasant, and in hot and thirsty countries is no doubt often a great boon. The white flesh a familiar school-boy dainty is eaten raw and cooked. It produces oil, and is used in the manufacture of stearine candles.
It is indeed very agreeable to see how candles used by so many people are made. When we can satisfy our desire for instruction we feel pleasure and contentment. Volition. What should we do with the fat of pigs if we did not know how to make it into stearine? What should we do with wax if we did not know how to utilize it?
About one and a half per cent. a month, I think; he may want one and three quarters, or two per cent, not more." Mr. Stearine hoped his friend would obtain as favorable terms as he could. "You'll have no trouble in meeting the larger note due, Bullion, on which I am indorser?" said Sandford. "None at all, I think," was the reply.
Stearine came next, a tall, thin man, with a large, bony frame, and a bilious temperament. A smile played perpetually around his loose mouth, not a smile of frank good-humor, but of uneasy self-consciousness. He smiled because it was necessary to do something; and he had not the idea of what repose meant. "You are going to the Senate, I hear," said the visitor. "Indeed!"
Just outside the town we passed a large zavod, devoted to the manufacture of candles. An immense quantity of tallow from the Kirghese steppes undergoes conversion into stearine at this establishment, and the production supplies candles to all Siberia and part of European Russia.
Caustic baryta was applied to the printed sheet to convert the resinous ingredients of the ink into an insoluble soap, the stearine being precipitated with sulphuric acid. The letters were then transferred to the zinc by pressure, so as to be printed from. The process, though ingenious and of much interest at the time, has long ago been superseded by photographic methods.
This product is obtained by thickening water-glass with stearine, oleine, or any other easily saponifiable fat. As it takes but very little of the substances named to make an article closely resembling soap, of course the product is very cheap. There does not seem to be any limit to the amount of water in it; at least the author found in one kind of mineral soap from Berlin 58 per cent. of water.
That we found in Blackmore's chambers a framed inscription of large size, hung upside down, together with what appeared to be the remains of a watch-glass and a box of stearine candles and some other objects." He passed the paper to me and I pored over it intently, focusing my attention on the various items with all the power of my will.
