And so 1t goes. first one gun and then
the other. 1t is hard and hot work. The
firing Is so fast and continuous that the
fans cannot keep the turret clear of smoke.
The men cough and gag; down in the
handling room they are fainting. The
smoke has deposited a gray scurf on skin
and clothes; its alkali has attacked the
paintwork and turned 1t to q slimy soap;
the black drippings from the gun washing
has fallen in foul splotches down the tur-
ret walls and lies in puddles on the floors.
And now a real danger arises. The rain
of cinders has been continuous, but now
they are larger and burn through clothes
and blister naked backs. Some fall kissing
into the water in the handling room, where
men are carrying powder in their arms.
Quickly canvas is dragged from the lock-

Artificial AIbumen.

Vienna dispatch to the London Standard.
On the closing day of the international
congress for applied chemistry an interest
ing paper was read by DIR. Leo Lilienfeld
on the synthesis of albuminous substances.
By means of the condensation of phenol
and amidoaceuc acid with phosphoric chIor-
ide oxide the lecturer has succeeded In
producing pepton, substance which, 1t had
hitherto been believed, could be obtained
only from organic substances. In order to
dispel any doubt as to the possibility OF
thus making artificial albumen, the lee
turer carried out the entire process in the
presence of the assembled chemists, and
then demonstrated the identity of artificial
and natural albumen by means of reac-
tions. The process is extremely simple,
and, though it may be some time before
artificial albumen can be made in the
laboratory as cheaply the natural arti-
Gle, in the form of meat, etc, the relative
cost may ultimately be reversed.
