They are rarely crystallized and are almost always in powder and lumps, such as white lead, chrome yellow, vermilion, prussian and Thenardt blue, English green, and parrot green (“papagayo"). bThe colors classed in this number are those known as artificial or organic products, in which mineral substances rarely enter. They are generally crystallized, and are soluble in water, alcohol, or ether. They are employed in dyeing and printing, with or without mordant, rather than in painting, such as picric acid, green aldeide, English violet, rosaline and its salts, naphthaline colors, artificial alizarine, etc. c By barillas, natural and artificial, are understood carbonates of soda, impure, containing carbon. d'The products or substances included in Nos. 112 and 113 shall be examined by the pharmaceutical inspectors, who, in conjunction with the collector of customs, will inake a declaration as follows: "The goods cleared are those expressed in the decla ation and are (or are not) admitted to importation by virtue of their formulas having been published (here state where), or their composition having been discovered by analysis made by 115.

The product of the above multiplication is to be divided by the number of centigrammes that the length of yarn tested may weigh. The quotient multiplied by the number of threads will then give the corresponding English number, to which 7 or 10 per cent is to be added, according as the cotton of more than one thread be only spun or spun and dyed. e Add surtax of 20 per cent on duty. d'The number of threads is to be ascertained by half of the threads contained in a square of 6 millimeters, counting the weft and the warp. The instrument called "thread counter" is to be employed for this purpose. e Lace of a maximum width of 10 centimeters shall be dutiable according to this number; that wider shall be included in No. 111, as tulies.

To ascertain this number, any number of meters of yarn may be taken, and this number is to be multiplied by the factor 165 (1 meter of yarn of jute, No. 1, weighs 165 centigrams), and divided by the number of centigrams that the length of the yarn tested may weigh. The quotient will then give the corresponding English number. b By the cordage paying under this heading shall be understood hemp, flax, or jute yarn, twisted in two or more strands, 10 meters of which weigh more than 5 grams. In linen tissues paying according to the number of threads the threads (both warp and woof) contained in a space of 6 millimeters will be counted. d Add surtax of 20 per cent on duty. e Wool will be considered as unwashed when after having been washed with sulphuret of carbon it is found to lose more than 10 per cent of its weight. f Wool the threads of which exceed 10 centimeters in length is considered as long wool. g The waste from carding included in this number is that obtained from the picking and unraveling of old rags and is almost always dyed and common. Waste resulting from the spinning of long wool shall also be classed herein. h Worsted yarn will be considered unbleached or in the grease if when washed with sulphuret of carbon it loses more than 10 per cent of its weight. |
