Chemists have been trying to repro.
duce by synthesis some Of the vegetable
alkaloids which are especially valuable
in medicines. In this way they have
attacked quinine, morphine and afro.
pln--active principles respectively of
clnchona bark, opium and the deadly
nightshade plant. In these efforts,
however, they have not succeeded up
to date. They have made oil of mus
tard which, owing to its greater
purity, is said to be preferred by physi-
clans 10 the natural article for medici-
nal use. They have manufactured
tartaric acid, turpentino and conine.
Ihis last is the poisonous principle Of
the hemlock. Ii is almost the same
thing as nicotine, the essential princi-
pie of tobacco, and it Ia thought prac-
tieable to convert it into nicotine.
When this is accomplished, any sort of
leaves may be impregnatsd with it and
with certain flayoring oils, so as to
serve as substitute for tobacco. OF
course, tobacco is only so much dry
vegetable matter in which nicotine and
tlaovring oils are stored. BY such
means any sort of tobacco may be
turned out artiflcially and cheaply.
This last is suggestion of Prof. Bort
helot, who, though scientific man of
the first rank, may be regarded as a
tritle overenthusiastic on the subject
OF synthetic chemistry and its pros
poets for the future. He says that some
DAY the business OF the farmer and the
stock-raiser will be taken away by the
laboratory. We shall then have chemi.
cal meats, chemical bread, chemical
vegetables and even chemical wines
and liquors. 1t is only fair to say that
the prediction as 10 chemical wines
and liquors has beon realized already
to considerable extent. The alcoholic
beverages on the market are largely
composed of cologne spirits, favored
with artificial ethers, according to the
liquor desired, whether brandy, rum,
gin, whisky or what not.

Here is story from life, told in a
Western paper:
A man took a eeat in railroad car
and piled the seat at his side with bags
and parcels. The car became crowded,
and a gentleman asked the person in
this scat il the other half of il was
occupied,
T Yes, ''said the other, "those things

the smoking car, and he'll be back
presently. -
The gentleman had reason to suspect
the truth OF this statement.
"All right, he said: II will sit in
this seat until the man comes back. "
He proceeded to remove the bags and
bundles, placing them on the floor or
iu the rack. Tho other man glared,
but could say nothing. As matter

to prevent you from taking them, since,

The man became violent and abu-
siye, but dared not lay his hand on the
bundles. The conductor was called in.

Forms of OrystalIlzation.

How is it that broken crystals are
able to reform themselves under suita-
BILE conditions, as crab grows "a new
leg in place of one that has been lost?
Why do various substances crystalline
according to definite geometrical pat
terms, each choosing it's own style and
varying not therefrom? For what
reason should a crystal of salt be
always a perfect cube? We're you to
try, you would find it very difficult to
carve out Of any material a six-sided
solid, with each of its facea an abso.
lutte square. Yet nature makes such
forms by myriads off hand. Let a
cupful of salt and water evaporate
slowly in cool place and the residue
will shape itself into an aggregation Of
as perfect cubes as ever were conceived
by the mathematician. Such cubes
are often found three inches or more
on an edge Every mineral has it's
own forms of crystallizing. Ono will
invariably take the shape of hexa-
hebron, another of an octohedron, and
so on. each assuming the outline
which belongs to it and none other.
Water has its crystalline forms like
any other mineral. Ice, of course, is
as much a rock as granite, though it
becomes fluid at much lower tenn
perature. The cube is one of the most
common forms of crystals. That form
IS taken by gold, silver copper and
lead. The diamond crystallizes on the
cubinal system. Not few CRYSTALS
arc most curiously initiative. One
kind of iron sulphide is apt to re-
semhle wild rose SO closely that you
cannot but imagine the flower to be
actually petriiied. Crystals of oxide
Of titanium are regularly gathered in
the fields, after heavy rains, by the
children Of Alexander county, n. g.
They are shipped to the cities and are
used to give the proper yellowish color
to artificial teeth. A single crystal of
beryl in the National Museum weighs
l,020 pounds.
