Chemistry's Counterfeiting Power

CHEMISTRY has counterfeited the odor of new
- mown hay, but not that peculiar scent that
caused the farmer to observe New mown hay
always smells of hard work.
On the shelves of the patent office at Washington
may be hundreds of bottles containing odors
that could distinguish from the perfumes of
various flowers. Yet not one of these odors was
distilled from blossom. Each was compounded
in a chemists laboratory
According to patent office official, altar of roses
has not yet been produced artifcialy, but it is in
sight. The chemists wrestling with the problem.
The oil that gives to the its fragrance called
rhodono" 1t is found in the lemon grass, and also
in some of the geranums Efforts are being made to
extract the oil from these plants only slight modif-
cation being required to transform it into the altar
The production of artificial musk from coal tar is
likely to drive the real article from the market.
Though not the same thing musk chemically
speaking, its scent is indistinguishable from it.
Musk is obtained from gland of the musk that
roams the forests of Central Asia.
Ethereal oils give fruits their delicious favors
There are hundreds of these oils, and everyone of
them can be counterfeited they are chemical
compounds. 1t no longer pays to real fruit

tated with artificial ethers by mixtures of ethers
The largest commercial success in the way of
artificial favoring is vaniln This product is keep
ing down the price of vanilla BEANS and is likely to
push them from the market. Already the chemists
are manufacturing oil of banana, oil of pineapple, oil
of pear oil of apple oil of raspberry and many Others
The chemists know how to counterfeit Tactic acid
which is the sour principle of sour milk They also
make citric acid, which is the sour of the lemon A
recent achievement is the manufacture of salcylic
govt and rheumatism is sacylic acid it is also
full preventative. Formerly it obtained
from the wintergreen plant, and from certain vare
however, it is made by the ton, and is extremely
cheap; too cheap, in fact, nasmuch is freely
ployed to give better keeping quality to bottled and
otherwise preserved foods 1t kills the bacteria that
produce decomposition but in the stomach destroys
the digestive ferments and on that account is in

IN THE NATIONAL WORKSHOP

T1NCLE SANS scientists at Washington as care
~ fully and tenderly look after their plants
and vegetables does any well trained nurse
the patient committed to her care.
In this connection may be recited some interesting
and curious experiments made at the Capital It
is ascertained that when plants are wounded their
respiration increases, and that at the same time
their temperature perceptibly rises as if kind of
fever had been produced by the wound.
In recent expert ments thermo electric apparatus
capable of registering change of one hundredth
OF a degree, was employed. When a potato was
wounded, the fever manifested itself by an elevation
OF temperature which greatest at the end of
twenty-four hours, when it began slowly to de-
cline
An onion similarly treated acquired an increase
OF temperature many times greater than that shown
by the potato and the fever, instead of being con-
the entire onion. In fact, the onion proved to be
more readily affected in this way than any other
vegetable experimental with. The rise of tenn
perature is caused by increased absorption of oxygen
