ARTIFICIAL INDIGO.
One of Indin's Industries ImperIIIed
by Recent Discoveries
From the New York Tribune.


From the New York Tribune.
Chemical experiments which had in view
the production of artificial indigo. and
which, consequently, threatened TO extin-
guish great East Indian industry, have
been in progress for years. but they have
only recently reached stage where this
product can be obtained cheaply enough to
compete with the old article commercially.
There was time when. In Central Ger
many large quantity of indigo was man.
ufactured from a homegrown plant But
for some reason the indigo plant of East
India yielded much larger proportion OF
dye than this one and after a century or
two, in spite of protective legislation and
the promises of European manufacturers
to use only the domestic indigo, the Ger
mans abandoned the further production of
the latter. 1t now looks as If East India
were about to experience similar fate. At
the present time her indigo industry yields
her several millions of dollars She fur
nishes the calico printers of the whole
world with dye-stuff.
Chemistry has found It a much easier
task to take a substance apart than TO
put it together again. Countless essences
and extracts have been analysed, aud their
exact composition learned. Careful lists
have been made, showing the precise pro-
portion in which the atoms Of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen go together in these
compounds. But when the chemist at
tempts to build up one of these substances
from its elements he often discovers that
they won't combine. Already several per-
fumes of flowers have been exactly im-
tated by this method, and thirty years ago,
after forty-five years of experiment. a
cheap way of getting the coloring princi-
pie of madden, a beautiful red dye, out of
coal tar was found.
Since that time It has not been profitable
TO raise the madden plant. The possibii-
~ of mans putting together the ingredi-
ents which nature employs In making the
essential part Of indigo. and IN precisely
the same proportions, was demonstrated
a long time ago. And synthetic chemis-
try has since been studying the problem
Of cheapenlng the process, so that IL might
be placed on a commercial basis.
A German house the Badische Anitin
and Soda Fabrk, Of Ludwigshafen-on-th the
Rhine, had within a few months placed on
the market an almost pure indigo blue OF
a price so very near that of the East In
dian article that formidable competition
is at last threatened. 1t should be OBJ
served that the indigo plant yields, in ad-
dition to the blue principle dndigo-tinJ a
red dye The manufacturing chemists
have thus far got only the blue dye.
Moreover it is alleged that the system Of
treating the East Indian plant now in
vogue does not extract all Of either prin-
ciple which exists there. Improved meth
DDS Of manufacture may perhaps cheaper
the natural article little more. 1t is too
soon. therefore. 70 predict the complete
downfall of the indigo business Of the
East. But Il Is certainly in greater peril
to-day than ever before.

RardinR Tent.
President Weldon, A. B. Wood
and Secretary Coleman of the Y.
M.C.A. paid visit to Col. Barber
at this headquarters in the home of
Mrs Jackson, near Kapiolani Park,
yesterday afternoon.
The Y. M. @. A. men called for
the purpose of sscertaining Just
what could be done in the matter
of a Y. M. @. A. tent. They were
treated in a most courteous man
ner by Col. Barber who said that
certainly space would be granted
for such a purpose.
It was the first intention Of the
Y. M. @. A. to wait until the SOL
diers had moved outside their pre-
sent position before putting up a
tent but, since some of the men
are to stay right in their present
position until the establishment
of a permanent garrison, the plan
was changed.
A small wooden building will
be put up at once and Private
Tator will be placed in charge.
Permission to detach Private Ia
tor for duty in the Y. M. g. A.
tent was granted yesterday.
This wooden affair will remain
until the arrival of the large tent
from the States. This, it will be
remembered, was donated by one
interested in the Y. M. G. A. work.
Asked if he had any sugges-
tons to make, Col. Barber ask ed
that the Y. M. g. A. keep open
house to the New York boys.
The secretary and members of the
association wish the boys to un-
derstand that they are always wei,
come and that writing materials
will be provided whenever they
wish to avail themselves of it.
The association would like the
assistance of interested people in
such matters as late periodicals
and papers with which to supply
the tent.

time on being mustered out of service at
Camp Wikoff in making their way to town.
A number of them hailing from Arizona
and Wyoming went down to Coney island
on trolley cars. When on the Brooklyn

from all over the bridge. The men We're
allowed a good deal of latitude.
Some of the Rough Riders arriving
in the city went direct to the hotels some
to the Waldorf-Astoria, some to the Hoff-
man and others to the cheap lodging houses.
One of the latter fell asleep on the window
sill, from which he toppled into the street,
