CARBON IN ALL PRODUCTS.
A st. Petersburg Chemist Makes q
Striking Discovery Regarding
Organic Substances.

Carbon is the basis of all organ.
ic products, and striking discov.
cry of Julius Walther, st. Pc.
tersburg chemist, is that this ele-
ment may be made to enter into
various combinations with oxy-
gen and hydrogen, by simple cleo
trolysis of water charged with car
bonic acid gas, the results being
several sugars and vegetable
acids from one form of simple APP
paratus, says the London Mail.
The water was charged with the
gas evolved on pouring hydro
chloric acid on marble. The
anodes of the electric apparatus
were brushes of platinum and the
catholics were preferably of clay
of silicates of aluminium with
large surface. The solutions about
the anode and cathode were in
closed in separate clay recepta-
cles, that of the anode being kept
five degrees c. warmer than the
other by lamp. The current was
gradually increased both in pow
er and in intensity, and at two
volts and 0.75 ampere oxalic acid
appeared, being soon followed by
tartaric acid, and by citric acid at
four volts and 2.25 amperes.
Fruit sugar was produced at five
volts and three amperes, then
grape sugar. The richness of the
products in carbon seems to in
crease with increase in current
and intensity.

THE ARSlNOITHERlUM.
Bones of Prehistoric Animal in the
Desert of Fayum-Scientists
Greatly Interested.

The desert of Fayum, south
west of Cairo, in Egypt, is the To-
cality in which the oldest known
inscriptions written in Greek let
ters have been discovered. In the
last two years, says the Chicago
RecOrdHerald, it has become
equally famous for the number of
hitherto unknown varieties of ex-
tlnct animals whose bones have
been disinterred from the sands.
One of these beasts is the Moeri-
therium-the ancestor of all ele-
phants-a creature with a long
snout, but with a lower jaw so
long that the snout could not hang
down in trbak style.
Still more interesting from the
point of view of scientists, how
ever, is the Arsinoitherium, an
animal that was bigger than
the biggest of our modern rhinoc-
crosses. Some six or seven skulls
of this animal have been secured,
the largest having a lower jaw
over two feet in length. Above
the nostrils the Arsinoitherium
had a huge pair of horns project
ing forward. The striking thing
about these horns is that they
were not of horny, fibrous mate
rial, but bony outgrowths, covered
in life with blood vessels and skin,
like the horns of a giraffe. though
probably protected at the tips
with bony matter. Behind the
big horns was pair of smaller
ones. The nearest relative of the
Arsinoitherium known to science
is the dinoeeras, specimens of
which have been discovered in
Wyoming in sands of the same age
as those of the Fayum. The Egyp-
tan beast had the Wyoming one
beaten in the size of its horns,
though some of the latter have
three pairs Of horns.
The Arsinoitherium is named
after Queen Asinoe, daughter of
the first Ptolemy, who had a pal
ace in the Fayum in days when
that region was more nearly hab-
liable than it is today. The time
that has elapsed since the Arsi-
noitherium lived is, however, as
much greater than the since Arsi-
no as a century is greater than a
couple of minutes. Excavations
in the Fayum are still being
pushed, though under great disad-
vantages, owing to the fact that
the best localities are three full
days march from water and many
more finds are anticipated.

INCREASED CAPITAL STOCK.

Connecticut Fat Rendering Company
 Held Meeting Yesterday.
 The adjourned meeting Of the stock holders of the Connecticut Fat Render ing company was held in room No. 19 of the Insurance building yesterday af- ternoon for the purpose of increasing the capital stock of the company from S5O,000 to $10,0OO.
 At the regular meeting of the stock holders last Thursday there was not enorgh stock represented to make up the necessary two-thirds to make legal an increase of the capital stock. Of those present at the last meeting a ma jority favored the increase, and the in- crease was made.
 With the increase os s50.000 the com pany will be able to establish large number of branches throughout the state. Butchers in various cities are cIamoring for branches so that the local company can collect and deliver the fat in this city for rendering purposes at the local plant, which is located in Allingtown.
 Cities desiring branches are South Norwalk, Norwich. and New London, and in each place enough support to a venture of that kind has been secured to assure it's success.
 The Connecticut Fat Rendering com pany began business last September, and has been very successful.
 The board of directors of the company is asfollows: Adam Sattig, William J. O'Keefe, and George H. Pfaff of this
  Royce of Stamford, Will Reither of Wa terbury, J. H. Whitcomb of Bridgeport George B. Crowell of Meriden, Conrad Weiss Of this city.
 The officers are: President. G. H Pfaff; treasurer, W. J. Tolhurst; secre- tary and manager, Adam Sattig.
