The Wood-working industry.
s.119
[---]
Since 1884 wooden mosaic work in tables and boxes has sprung up in the village of Maklakovo in the Vasilsoursk district of the government of Nizhni- Novgorod, the whole of the village being engaged in the trade, which has now reached a highly artistic state of perfection. Most of the mosaic workers of the village of Maklakovo use wood artificially stained in various colours in default of naturally coloured varieties, and this of course diminishes the intrinsic value of their work. About 10 of them however work in naturally coloured woods which they obtain with some difficulty, and at rather high prices, from a joiner in Nizhni-Novgorod. These different coloured woods are principally made up of old cigar boxes or the cases in which paints, groceries and other articles are brought from abroad.

The production of castoroil from ricinus exists principally in Moscow, and in the Vistula region; 5 mills are engaged in the manufacture, with a yearly output of 115,000 pouds, to tho value of 730,000 roubles. It is principally used for the preparation of the so-called alizarine oil, employed in the dyeing of calico Adrianopol red.

Besides the above mentioned materials, some of the factories prepare artificial olive oil from cod-liver oil, sunflower oil, et cetera. In order to give the product a greenish colour chlorophyll (bought in extracts or prepared at the factories from nettles) and artificial aniline pigments are used. The analyses of the artificial olive oil have shown that it contains only from 10 to 35 per cent of pure olive oil, while the principal ingredient, vaseline, sometimes reaches 75 per cent.
Chapter XXV.The Interior Trade and Fairs of Russia.
s. 489

In recent years certain new classes of goods have made their appearance at the fair, which in former times played quite a secondary part, as for instance Caucasian wine, kerosene, naphtha refuse. But at the same time Caucasian madder, which in the fifties and sixties played an important part among dyes, has now almost disappeared from the market. This trade has now entirely ceased in the Caucasus, owing to the competition of the naphtha dyes.
