German Chemist Succeeds in Altering
 Indigo Trade Entirely.

Indigo Trade Entirely.
 Harpers Magazine.
 The commercial synthesis of indigo is a process which has reversed the economic relations of States. Only yesterday, so to speak, $25,000, 900 worth of indigo was exported every year from India and the surrounding islands and countries. This was ob- tained from the indigo-plant by a crude and ignorant fermentation-cat- alysis that originated long before au- thentic history. The indigo plant CTS were a powerful, self-sufficient race of men who passed the time fleeting- ly, "as they did in the golden world" In the employment of serf labor and an easy production. Consumers of indi- go were continually in trouble over the variable purity and quantity of the product. It was natural, then, that scientific manufacturers such as the "Badische" should wish to supplant this ignorant production by the same substance made pure and out of coal tar. In order to accomplish this three steps were necessary--(1) the deter imitation of the constitution of indi- go; CD, the synthesis of indigo; (3), the commercial production of synthetic indigo. The first and second problems took fifteen years of Baeyer's life and the third problem, its commercial pro- duetion took nearly twenty years longer. The first promising synthesis of indigo was perfected by the Bad ische" up to the competing point and was then calmly discarded because 1t started with toluene as a raw mate rial, and there was too little toIuene In the world to extinguish the annual Il, ,O0O, 900 pounds of natural indigo Nothing less than the complete extin- guishment of natural indigo would sat- isfy these men. It was then that it's satalytic synthesis, from naphthalene was discovered. Naphthaline is obtain ed from coal tar, and is both abundant and cheap We need not inflict upon the reader the names of fear possessed by the substances through which naph- thalene passes on its way to indigo Our subject Is satalysis, and the va lidity of the whole process depends on satalytic operatiOn-the more pres enee of mercury tor mercury and cop per)-in bringing about the easy ac- ton of sulphuric acid in oxidizing naphthalene to phthalic acid the first step fin the process. This interesting essential (the advantageous presence of mercury) was discovered through some mercury found at the bottom of an experimental flask--the result of a broken thermometer!
 Through this little accident in 1897 synthetic indigo became a commercial

We are inclined to think that a similar situation will develop this year. If one must go short Nav and July at the present premiums would seem to offer the best opportunities as unauestionahly the bulk of the speculative long interest is lodged behind these two months, while the chief speculative short interest is undoubtedly hidden in October and December. We think that there will be forced liquidation in May and July just as there was in March and many of those long of these months will probably transfer to October as they can do so at a discount. The effect that such action would have on the new crop months is obvious.

It was a broillng-hot day in the park, and those walking therein were we'll nigh exhasted, when a very stout old lady came bustling along one of the paths, closely followed by rough looking tramp, says the Magazine of Fun. Twice she commanded him to leave her, but still he followed her just behind. At last the old lady, quite disgusted, turned, angrily around and said:
 Look here, my man. if you don't go away I phalI call policeman"
 The poor fellow looked up at her with a tear in his eye, and then remarked:
 For goodness sake, mum, have mercy and don't call a policeman, for ye're the only shady spot in the park"
