is not easy to define to tic general reader,
though well recognized in the trade, and it
does not include tho body of the products
known as dyes, paints and medicines, al
though closely related to them. As so de-
fined, the chemical manufacture in Phila-

from $6, 152, $50 in 1870 to $40, 900, 900 in

On the Michigan Central train the othe

arm. Soon after the train pulled out of
Detroit, he began talking with those around

FOnta'nebleau.

The forest of Fontaineblcau covers 20,
600 acres and ls sixty miles in circumfer-
ence. Most of the trees are very old, and
to the most remarkable ones are affixed
small plaques giving tho particulars of
their history. Originally the demesne was
named the Foret de Bicrc and became
known as Fontalneblcau from the fact that
King Louis TX, while hunting in one of
its Widest parts, lost one of his favortc
hounds, whose name was Bleau. The dog
was found quietly drinking from spring
of cool water, which the king named Fon-
tame Blcau, or Bleau's fountain. Struck
| with the beauty of the spot, the king Or
| dcrcd hunting mansion to be built near
the spring, and this hunting box has in
successive rcigns been enlarged and beau
titled till it became the stately palace
which all visitors to the cnvirons of Paris
know so we'll.
In Francis ]. g time, tradition says, the
forest was infested by an enormous serpent,
which gobblcd up mon, women and chill
dren in large numbers. AS there were no
snakccharmcrs sufficiently courageous to
attack the monster, King Francis deter
mined to try his hand on it, and caused Il
suit of armor to be made of razors, with
the edges pointing outwards, and the ser
pent met his death.
The library of the palace contains many
OF the first books seen in France. In
Charles Wis reign the 853 books therein
contained were worth the present sum of
S4S, 100. The English carried off the
books when they were rulers in France,
but they wore bought buck at the cost of
$3.50.
In the Hotel d'Albret, in the Cour du
Cheval Blanc, Cardinal Richclieu dwelt
when attending Oh the court. Here he
was taken III and was removed to Paris on
litter. The litter was too wide to pass
through the door of tho hotel and was
lifted out through a window. In 1867,
Christina, Queen of Sweden, while visit
ing at tho palace, caused Monaldcschi, one
OF her favoritcs, to be assassinatcd. Cardi-
nal Mazarin, by order of the king, wrote
to her to leave the palace She replied by
as a queen uaS always a Queen WfcfcVcT
she happened to be. Fontaineblcau was
the scene of many of the triumphs of Rous
seau and Voltaire. The latter, however,
was requested to leave the palace, an un
complimentary remark he had made hay

cation OF Napoleon |. was signed at Fon
taincbleau and here the petit corporal kept
Pope Plus VII. prisoner for the space OF
two years, Oh account of some slight diff
ference of opinion between himself and the
successor Of st. Peter. In the Cour tu
Cheval Blanc, Napoleon took his leave OF
the Old Guard when he started on his trir
of exile to Elba.
