he saw Jean he could not speak. He
wiped his glasses nervously and ooughed.
''Just cry right out, papa, said
Jean, ''not a sorry cry, but real glad

Jose had disappeared, and at sunset
we vent out to the falls, hoping to meet
him returning. The red light of the
dying sun touched the high black crags

chaos of water into thousand hues and

the torrent into murky evil flood that

what is rsniIla2 1t is substance which
is found in nature in bean known as
the vanilla bean. 1t has long been used
as flavor. 1t Is now manufactures +,
and the artificial substance is proba-
bIv used as much as the nat
ural. IL can be made from
some of the substances found in
coal tar. but il is made more cheaply
from q substance found in creosote which
ia obtained from the tar formed
when beech wood is dis
tiled. Beech tar and creosote
are as disagreeable in their way as
coal tar and carbolic acid are IN theirs,
but by the fairy wand of chemistry they
can be made to yield substances with the
most attractive properties.
MANY other fiavors besides those which
l have mentioned are now made IN the
chemical factory. The havors OF most
fruits are due to the presence or sub
stances well known TO the chemist, and
whenever 1t is possible to make any OF
these substances more cheaply in the fac
tory than they can be obtained from ma
ture, they are manufactured. Many
fruit 1avors, such as those of the apple
and pineapple, are thus manufactured.
The oil OF mustard is made 10y starting
with ordinary glycerine and oxalie acid.
The oil of garlic and many other disa-
greeable smelling substances which are
found in nature can also be made in the
laboratory. Among the most disagreea-
Bile of these is one called mercapt au.
The chemist who LIST, made this sub
stance and studied il had to shut himself
up in his laboratory for weeks until his
work was done. His meals were
passed in to him. He at first tried TO go
among people as usual, but his
clothing was so dlsagreeable that people
got out of his way. 1t is believed that
the fearful odor produced by the skunk
is due to a substance something like
mercaptau. The liquid of the skunk
was once carefully examined by chem
list, but, after working with it for some
time, he found that he did not have
enough of it to finish the work, and no
one has ever taken 1t up since that time.
Here Is fine opportunity for an am
bilious young chemist to distinguish him.
self. Who will take advantage of it?
Only few of the substances made IN
the laboratories can be used as dyes or
flavors, or any other practical purpose /,
but the fact that n substance cannot be
used practically does not make it any
less valuable to the chemist or to the
world Every substance helps
US to know more of the mysteries of
nature, and the more we know the better
we are off. We, of course, hear more of
those things which are used out of the
laboratory, but those things which are
of greatest interest to the chemist are
those that tell him most of chemistry 4,
and those are, for the most part. un-
known the world at large
