The news that Wohler had obtained,
in 1928, out of inorganic stuffs GER
tain substance, urea, which occurs in
nature as a distinct product of vital ac-
tivity in animals, upset current ideas
Then, later on, Liebig in Germany and
FARMLAND in this country made several
important syntheses, and in 1860 Ber-
thelot published his epoch making
work, "Organic Chemistry Based Upon
Synthesis, in which he proved that
the synthesis of organic bodies must be
pursued and may be achieved in a
quite systematic way, going step by
step over the whole series of organic
compounds.
At the present time about 1870 differ
ent acids, aromatic oils, fats, coloring
matters, and so on, which are only
found in nature as products of vital
activity, have already been prepared in
our laboratories out of inorganic mat
ter. Some of them are already fabri-
Gated in this way for trade. Every year
brings some new achievement in the
same direction so that the main inter-
est now lies, not so much in adding a
new product to the already long list Of
chemically prepared organic substances,
as in catching the secrets of the tiny
living laboratories in the vegetable and
animal cells. Prince Krapotkin in

mer who ever lived was Jean Henri,
the famous tambour major of the EN-

to play on / 5 different toned drums at
the same time in so soft and harmoni-

ening uproar that might have been ex-
pected the effect was that of a novel
and complete instrument. In playing
he passed from one drum to the other
with such wonderful quickness that the
eyes of the spectators could hardly fol-
low the movement of his hands and
