CHICAGO, April IA discovery Of
moro than ordinary interest has been re-
Gently made In the Kent laboratory at the
Chicago university. A new compound
has been found which has sweetening
powers in excess Of those possessed by
saocharine which has hitherto been con
sidered the sweetest substance known to
chemists
While working upon substance derlv-
Cd from the coal tar products DR. H. l..
Wheeler happened 10 touch his pencil TO
his tongue and was astonished that IL had
very sweet taste. Upon looking about
him for the cause, DR.. Wheeler found
that he had done some writing on a piece
Of filter paper upon which there was a
very small quantity Of the material which
he had been working with. This led him
to look into the matter, and he found that
an after taste like that Of hcorioo was no.
ticeable.
H. J. Wheeler, Phi d., TO whom tho
credit for this discovery is due. is grad
uate of Yale college and has continued bis
studies since his graduation both In this
country and In Munich, Germany He Il
a son of George Henry Wheeler, president
