has a greater fuel value, with less wear
and tear on the digestive machinery.
Living TO eat" and "eating to live"
always must be two distinct PROPOSE
tions, but the best is the greater prob-
lem for the great masses of the people,
and for these the chemist is consulted
with scarcely less concern than is the
physician.
Agricultural chemistry has come to
be one Of the great branches of the
science. The farmer Of today scarcely
can turn without coming in contact
with It. For fattcning his cattle to the
best advantage he gets a dietary from
the chemist. He goes To the same
authority for "A food allowance for his
dairy cows, and if he sells the product
to creamery and cheese factory
chemical analysis determines the worth
OF it, He asks the chemist for feed
ration for his rlow horses. Then, should
he grow crop of sugar beets, the
chemist tells the factory what they
are worth for sugar He asks the
chemist for a soil analysis and for a
compost that shall perfect it, and when
he wishes the best marketable results
from the fruits of his orchard the
chemist tells him the secret of putting
the blush of red into the cheek of the
peach and of the apple.
Through the speCtrosCOpC the chemist
and his science have become identified
with the astronomer and his distant
fields of endeavor. The astronomer,
with the ever increasing power of ais
telescope, has found new bodies and
the chemist has determined of what
they are made. In doing so the chem
ist has added to his list of elemental
bodies almost beyond belief.
DEVELOPER OF PHOTOGRAPHY.
The chemistry of photography has
been another incentive to astronomical
research, and since 1850, when the
first star was photographed, this ac-
ceSsion to astronomy has become one
of its features. In these days the as
tronomer goes half around the world
to photograph an eclipse or the con-
junction OF minor planets.
OF photography in general, its
growth has been attended by the re-
suits Of chemical research. Through
the chemist it has come to be an arr,
and at the same one Of the most pOpu-
lar Of pastmcs for the amateur. From
the old daguerrestype with its imper-
feet figures down to the black and
white effects of the modern photo
graphs showing a railroad train at full
speed the progress of photography has
been chemical in great measure.
Today the chemical laboratory is the
hot-house of science. Through ii is
promised much of the progress of the
future. More and more the element Of
the scientific is being .nErGined into
all pursuits and more the chemist is
to be in demand in the solution Of
natures laws. There are no new
principles introduced into the patent
offices of the world, but within FIVE
years the &-ray astounded the world
There is significance in the two
statements of fact.

treated with some preparation that is
warranted to render wood fireproof,
and the test tended to bear out the
claim. The experiment was conduct
ed under the supervision of the New
York board of fire underwriters, and
the building and fire departments OF
New York. The building was two stor-
les high, with a large space beneath in
which fierce fire was set going. Some
OF the visitors remained in the house
during the test, and suffered no incon-
venience. The fire was said to be
strong enough to burn down any ordi-
nary building in New York. but it did
no harm to the prepared wood, beyond
charring it slightly.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 26.-One of the

The plan by which the rescuers hopcd 10

An electric alarm bell was connected

to keep the tunnel free from gas. 1t Is
estimated that the electric plant and
other apparatus used cost the liberators
