a So per cent. duty on coal tar derlva-
tives. 1t was a futile consolation.
When the new indigo was placed before
the government chemists in Washington
it was carefully tested. and the astonishing
decision given that the artificial product
must be admitted free of duty, as no
living chemist could distinguish between
the pure and the artihcial!'
Behold the result! To-day artificial in
digo made from coal tar after a process
discovered by a German chemist, is sell
ing a a less price than the pure article
can he produced, yet making a profit for
the German chemical firm which can only
be based on the same firms profits on
alizarin.
The patent will run seventeen years
millions of pounds will be sold in the
United States alone, and. calculated on
a fair estimate, $4,000 900 must accrue to
this German firm, and incidentally to the
German empire. This, mind you, is sim
ply one article. There are many others,
and they are ALL every one of them, the
result of the German system of combin-
ing science with practical commerce.
The lesson is obvious. VIII we profit

from $500 to $1,000, and il Is safe to con-

interest IN his discoveries, receives no re-
ward II he is successful, yet, such is the
peculiar workings OF the German mind
ne strives with as much enthusiasm as If
there was bag of gold dangling at the
end of his days labor.
An american visitor to one of the great
German chemical factories said that the
laboratory of which he obtained one feet
ing glimpse, reminded him of an immense
rabbit warren, in which each OCCUPANT
was worker and deliver of the most pro-
nounced degree
Mention has already been made of the
loss by the United States of over $22.-
O0o,WO in 1897 and 1898 on one class of ar
ucles alone among the many exported to
TINS country by Germany. 1t has also
peen stated that the discovery of that
arucIe by German chemists reads as a
falry tale. This is the story:
Twenty years ago the red dyes used
by the world were made from a vege-
taDle plant called madder root, or Rubia
tlnetorum. In the trade 1t is known as
alizarin, deriving that name from the
ARABIC words al and izal literally "the
root which shows its Importance. As
all the red dyes used in those days were
made from the madden root it became of
extreme value as product of the Euro
pean farms, and it was raised extensive
iy throughout the continent
ABOUT the year 1879 a German chemist
employed by a chemical mandatory on
the Rhine took up ordinary coal tar as
a subject for investigation. He was not
IN search of any particular result, but de-
voted his energies to what had been an
article of no apparent value
Patiently and with extreme skill he
treated the foul-smelling residuce of coal
with various acids and in time made a
report of his chef which caused that
worthy to open his eyes. The reoprt in
substance was that a product had been
obtained which resembled in character
and was fully equal to the best alizarin
made from madder root.
The secret was carefully guarded while
extensive tests were made and patent
obtained, then the new alZarin was plac-
en- on the market, The result was i'm
mediate and far-spreading. The original
dye had sold at $500 a pound. and below
thet figure it could not be produced. The
new dye retailed in this country, for 81 %
pound, and the supply was only limited
by the will of the manufacturer
The patent remained in force for seven
teen years, during which time millions OF

pounds were sold annually in this coun-
try The rate $1.20 a pound. continued
for seventeen years, then, the day after
the patent expired, it dropped to IS cents
a pound In other words, this product
from coal tar discovered by a German
chemist whose salary did not exceed s, 900
yearly, netted the patentees an apparent
profit of S1.05 a pound AS millions of
pounds were sold annually in the United
States alone, the enormous profits obtain
ed can easily be reckoued. In fact, it is
estimated that over SS5, 600 900 was made
by one German firm on a dye stuff as q
reward for its shrewdness in combining
science and practical commerce!
One German chemist succeeded, by his
patient research in analytical fields, in
driving out of existence the important in
dustry of madder root growing lat one
time New York alone had 100 brokers
dealing solely in the root or its products),
and also placed to the credit of his en-
ployers and his country a vast fortune.
The firm which had made what might
be called this "ten strike" in commercial
science observed the lapsing of its valu-
able alizarin patent with equanimity. The
firm knew full we'll that its paid staff of
chemists was not earning salaries in idle
ness.
Eighteen years ago a well-known pro-
fessor OF chemistry now living in New
York. visited the Ludwigshafer works of
the firm in question, and was shown by
the manager a product which the latter
declared was practically ready for the
market That was in 1881, yet such was the
untiring patience and the thorough eau
ton of the German chemists that this

like the latter, coal tar was the base.
one OF the German chemists-one of the
81 COO rabbits In the hutches-had discoV-
cred substance which bore strlk-
ing resemblance to the indigo of East In
dian commercei
The natural indigo Is described as "a
substance obtained in the form of a blue
nowdcr from leguminous plants of the
genus Indigofera and used as blue
Sve." These plants grow In the East and
west Indies, and in some parts of Ameri-
% and they form an important article OF
commerce.
It is probably well to say here that the
growers Of the indigo plant had waxed rich
and insolent In the trade, and that they
rackoned on an uninterrupted period OF
nrosperlty. They did not take into con-
slderat lion the patient, delving chemists In
the rabbit warrens of the German en-
pire. -. ..o,,,,

dealers in the pure indigo. The latter
knew the history Of the alizarn product,
but they consoled themselves with the
knowledge that the American tariff sched-
ule admits pure indigo free, and places

New York, Sept. 1.-Twenty-two million
collars lost in two years because of lax
nv in the teaching of analytical chemistry
That is the enormous price paid on one
class of articles alone by The United States
simply because our colleges ignore a high
er scientific course and our manufacturers
refuse TO recognize that which is a COM
mon practice in rival Countrywide en-
rIovment of highly-trained chemists for
analytical researches.
We paid Germany 500. 5000 in 1897 and
1898 for dye stuffs with which to dye our
articles of dress. German chemists dis
covered the process by which those dyes
can be made from something almost as
cheap and plentiful in this country as
ashes. German manufacturers made those
dve s,uns from coal tar!
The description Of their progress in this
line reads like a fairy story, but it is true
enough. 1t is a lesson that should go to
the heart of every American manufacturer
every American business man, and every
true American citizen.
The fact that Germany could have taken
from US gold exceeding $11,C0OO0O yearly for
one simple class of articles, and that in
face of the fact that we have here every
Thing by which the articles can be made
is more than incredible-it is Illuminating
And it calls for a thorough Investigation
and a revolution in some portion of our in
telnal economy.
That which we lack is easily explained
and proOf-ample and convincing proof
will be given in this paper. We do not
encourage the study of analytical chemis-
try in our colleges, nor the close union Of
science and business In our factories.
In Germany there are thirty-seven
chemical dye factories that employ large
staffs Of expert chemists solely for inven-
ton and discovery. Not for manufacture

THE MAJORS NEW TRUST.
a Great Promoter Takes the Land
lord Into His Confidence.

From the Chicago News.
It was the landlord again with his bill
for the rent of the Office, and he had
scarcely entered the door when the major
advanced with outstretched hand and
greeted him with:
Good morning to you, and good
morning. You have come for the rent,
and, of course, you have brought the bill?
All, see-I see. 1 was just about to send
a telegram asking you to call. So many
months rent-so much. Correct to a

to do business with a man in a business
way. Excuse me while / lay the bill
away, where II will be safe and undis-
turbed for months and years to come.
There-'us done, and

landlord In a decided voice.
"EXactly-eNacuy-I see. Three months
ago, when it was impossible for me to
raise $40, you showed your faith in my in
tegrlty by renting me this office. You did
not lose your faith as time passed on. You
have not lost IL yet. If you did not get
your rent for the next six months you
would still go on trusting me and feel
ing that your money was safe. 1t Is need
less 10 add that 1 am grateful-that your
confidence in me has touched a tender
chord"
Look here, now but I'm after my

threat In his tones.
"Yes, touched a tender chord" resum-
ed the major as he wiped his left eye with
his handkerchief. Il like 10 be trusted.

YOU called here a few weeks ago l ex-
planned to you that had gone out of law

"Then YOU can pay the rent?" queried
the landlord as his face frightened.
