Chemistry is the basis of all the sci

going ahead of late is astonishing On a

ton, are a number of bottles containing
cologne and various scents These
were not made from flowers, but are
laboratory compounds, counterfeiting
the perfumes of the rose and other
kinds of blossoms so perfectly that no.
body can tell the difference Nearly all
OF them are entirely new. Altar of
roses has not yet been produced artifi-
cially, but it is in sight The chemists
are approaching it from two directions
The ethereal oil that gives to the rose its
peculiar fragrance is called "rhodonol !"
This oil is found in the common lemon
grass, and also in some of the gerani-
ums.. Efforts are being made to extract
the oil from these plants, only a slight
modification being required to trans
form it into the altar. At the same time
the production of the altar is being at
tempted directly from the elements
which nature employs in its compo-
sition.
The production of artificial musk from
coal tar is a wonderful triumph of syn
thetic chemistry. 1t is likely to drive
the real article out of the market before
long. Though not at all the same thing
as real musk, chemically speaking, its
scent is indistinguishable from that of
the latter Musk. of course, is an i'm
portant article of commerce, obtained
from the gland of the musk deer that
roams the pine forests of the Himalayas
The perfumes of all flowers are due to
ethereal oils, and before long all these
will be manufactured artificially.
Ethereal oils give TO fruits their de-
licious flavors. There are hundreds of
these oils. and every one Of them can be
ecunterfaited easily, inasmuch as they
are very simple chemical compounds.
It doesn't pay any longer to use real

as all of them can be initiated TO perfec-
ton with artificial ethers or by mixtures
of ethers.
The biggest commercial SUCCESS in the
way of an artificial havoring is vanilla
beans, and it is likely to drive the latter
out of the market. Already the chem
lists are manufacturing oil of banana, oil
of pineapple, oil of pear, oil of apple oil
of raspberry, and many others. The es-
sential oil of banana, obtained by dis
tilling the fruit. is identical chemically
with the labo, atory product. Oil of ba-
mana is a compound of acetic acid and
amyl alcohol, the latter being the chief
constituent of fusel oil. Oil of bitter al
monds has been counterfeited; though
chemically different, it has the same
flavor as the real.
The chemists now know how to coun-
! terfeit Tactic acid, which is the sour
principle of sour milk. They also make
citric acid, which is the sour of the lem

remedies for gout and rheumatism is
salicylic acid; also it is very useful as a
preservative. Formerly it was obtained
from the wintergreen plant and from

very costly. At present it is made by

SENSATIONAL NEWSPAPERS.
Los Angeles Express: The San Fran
cisco press has carried sensationalism
in some instances so far that it is more
dangerous to the morals of young per-
sons than Police Gazette" or Days
Doings." It is only the other day that
one of the San Francisco papers ex-
cited two boys to steal by describing
the tools and the methods of thieves
The two boys were sent to the peniten-
tiary, but their teachers in crime still
continue their lessons.
And now once more the same cause
has produced the same effects at Pet
aiuma, according to the Argus of
that town, where two boys burglarized
blacksmith shop so as to get the mate
rial to make a kit of burglars tools that
they might become thieves. After max
ing them they of course wanted to use
them, and the result was the attempted
burglary of a store, the arrest of the
boys and their probable incarceration
in the penitentiary. But these are only
two instances of the harm done.

directions no one knows, but it is evi-

OGALLAH. KAN. Nov u. 1896
Some man % in last weeks indie
pendent shows his ignorance of the
facts when he makes a display of Mr.
Balcom's great love for Sabbath work
on Sunday We are glad to know
there was such time. because we
who live near him know by observa-
ton that lie likes other work better.
He admits that he did not attend
church during his seven years resi-
dence in this county until after his
late nomination. We who have seen
how Mr.. Peacock meets hard luck
with quiet fortitude know that he
does not play the baby act nor the
cripple act either. We know that
when the time comes he will turn his
Office over to his successor with good
grace and in excellent shape. We
know that Mr.. Balloon will have no
more Jealous supporter than Mr.. Pea
cock because he knows by experience,
what Mr.. Balloon has yet to learn,
that many of the duties of the office
are very disagreeable and almost
thankless. When he comes to choose
his assistants he will not be limited
to two or three, because THANKS to
Mr.. p there are more first-grade
teachers in the county than ever be-
fore. He will have our support in
keeping the schools up to the high
standard Mr.. Peacock has given them,
and if he succeeds we will see that he
is not cheated out of his just dues by
SANDER nor by illegal voting. Some
of us voted for Mr.. b. and for Mr.. NJ,
not knowing what low steps had been
taken to bring about the defeat of
two honorable candidates, one of
whom has been a successful officer,
having more regard for a conscien-
tious discharge of public duty than
for mere policy. We protest against
all such cowardly filings as that of e.
II. +. s., and regret that we have aid
ed to bring about what we now fear
will be calamity to our schools and
a menace to our taxpayers. Mr. Pea
cock is entitled to the thanks of all
patrons of our schools. He has the
confidence and respect of all teachers
who have any self respect or any. re-
gard for their calling because they
know he does not have to hunt around
half a day for an examination to prove
his ability to pass. We hope Mr.. b.
will do as well, and we are surprised
that he quietly accepts office with
such Illegal practice in his behalf.

has yet been produced by anyone.
In addition to the usual award of
the flag, handsome silk banner will
be given the county whose teachers
