THE COWBOYS DEFENDED.

Said Texas Cattle dealer recently: The
cowboys have to be men of integrity and
reliability, and their labors are such thai
you can readily see they cannot be very
dissipated. l will tell you how they get the
reputation for recklessness. We will sup
pose these men have been on drive for six
months and have finished and been paid off.
Then they are just like any other body Of
men, they go in for some fun, and on their
lark ride yelling through the streets OF
some little town, shoot few street lamps
out, or get into saloon row. 1t is no more
than band of college boys at Harvard, or
Cornell or Princeton might do and FREE
quently do, but some imaginative CORE
spondent Immediately sends it to some
Eastern paper, where II comes out headed
another cowboy outrage and giving
wholly fictitious account of the battle be-
tween the outlaws and the citizens. Now,
know hundreds of cowboys who never
carry q revolver, and If you should go
among them to-day your life and your peck
etbook would be as safe as il is in the city.
They have strict ideas of honor and they
stand upon their honor. You won't find
any Of them who would be safe to impose
upon, nor will you find any of them who
will attempt to impose on you. They are
off duty lot of big-hearted, rough boys,
but they are not outlaws or outcasts. They
are not the class of men who rob trains or
hold up people crossing the plains, and I
cowboy will compare favorably in morals
md manliness with any similar number Of
citizens, taken as class"

THE WONDERS OF COAL TAR.
Gorgeous Dyes and Most Useful Products
Obtained from a Troublesome Refuse.

1t was not until 1S57 that the great value
OF coal tar as q raw material was demon.
strated. Ia that year Perkins discovered
its aniline properties discovery which has
almost reyolutionized the trade in dye-stuffs.
Perkins took coal tar naptha, and, boiling
it in retort, obtained q chemical action
which resulted in benzole and nitre-benzole.
Adding water to this, the nitre-benzole was
deposited in the form of q thick, oily mass.
This he experimental with in various ways,
and finally, by the addition of acetic acid
and iron filings, he produced colorless
fluid which is aniline. This liquid he treat
ed with different chemical salts, and the re.
suit was green crystals of metallic lustre.
These he found were capable of producing,
under different chemical reactions, the most
brilliant and gorgeous dyes-the nnilint
hues of the paint and dye trades of to-day.
This discovery made the long-detested
coal tar desirable product of the gas re-
torts, but it held still greater surprises.
From the light oil of the tar a valuable
naphtha solvent for India-rubber was OBJ
tanned, and then the invaluable discovery
of carbolic acid was made. How many peo-
pie in ordinary life know that this great dis
infectant is one of the products of common
gas tar? After these properties were ex.
sracted from the tar there were left heavy
pills and residuum, for which chemistry was
puzzled to find practical use. 1t was no
until 1869 that any satisfactory result was
obtained by experimenting with this refuse,
md then the great discovery of alizarine
was made. This product was first obtained
by the German chemists Grebe and Lieber-
mann, but Prof. Perkins, who had develop
ed the aniline colors from tar, was the first
to give practical application to the Ger
man work. The importance of this discoy-
cry may be understood when it is known
that i'll the first ten years following the in.
PRODUCTION Of the artificial alzarine in the
dyestuff trade, it exceeded the total amount
of natural alizarine, or madden root, tint
Ind been handled in the trade previous to
its introduction. 1t was, If anything, super
ior to madden, and SO much cheaper that
the saving by its use up to 1880 had
amounted to over 800 ,000 900. The dis
100000 acres of land that had been used
for growing madden root into fertile fields
Of corn aud other cereals. With vegetable
madder it required nine weeks to perfect
The dyeing of a material Turkey red. The
artificial madder accomplished tho desired
result in as many hours. Three years ago
the chemist produced nm artificial indigo
from the residuum of gas tar, and, in con.
nection with the aniline dyes and alizarint
Of the same base, it is rapidly taking ths
place of vegetable indigo Later, the naph.
thalene yellows and reds, with which en-
tirely new effects in colors were made pos
sible, were derived from coal tar residuum.
Chemists are still experimenting with the
tar products, and other important develop
ments will no doubt be made"
