COAL TAR---THE MOST
PRCTEAN SUBSTANCE
IN THE WORLD.
Observation-Disclosures;

Speaking recently before the So
ciety of Chemical Industry, Mr.. II.
Schweitzer summarized number Of
the products of the coal-tar industry.
Since the discovery of mauve, half
century ago, dyestuffs after dye
stuffs have been and still are evolved
from coal tar, giving the whole range
of the colors of the rainbow and CON-
plying with every demand of taste,
fashion, and stability, surprising in
beauty, brilliancy, and fastness to
time, light, and chemicals. the colors
supplied to us by nature in plants
and animals. A host of medicines for
the treatment of the most diverse
diseases has been and still Is pro-
duced from coal tar; fever, sleepless-
ness, and pains of all origin are al
layed by its various derivatives: sur
gical operations are rendered painless
and shortened by anaesthetics made
from this source. The active prin.
ciples of animal glands are repro
duced from coal tar. and placed at
the disposal of the physician. The
sleeping sickness of Africa-the dis
ease caused by the bite of the tsetse
fiy-is cured by coal-tar products, and
we are now on the threshold of curing
cancer, the most horrible scourge of
modern life, by remedies derived from
this source. We make artificial
sweeteners from coal tar which are
$50 times sweeter than sugar; artifi-
cial oil of bitter almond and of musk
are derived from this source. The
odors of oil of wintergreen, yiolets.
roses, jasmin, and heliotrope are re-
produced by coal-tar products. We
develop our Photographic pictures
with them, and use them for photog-
raphy In the colors of nature. We
employ them as safety explosives In
mines and building operations, and
the armies and navies of the world
use them as smokeless powder. With
coal-tar products we protect our
giants OF the forests against destruc-
tion by caterpillars and other insects.
and preserve with them the canned
goods so Indispensable for the soldier,
sailor. and explorer.

ture. Here we have rugged. rock
bound coast, a land of crags and
cliffs, stretching away to Cromarty
Point on the horizon. The only relief
to this rugged outline is this short
stretch of sandy beach curving inward
from the lighthouse to the village of
Rosemarkie. On the margin of this
lovely bay many fishermen have built
their houses, and here are few of
their little fishing boats, or cobles,
riding peacefully at anchor a few
inches from the shore.
"In this little cottage, which / now

At the back of the village, and run
ming up along the coast, you see
long succession of crags and preci-
pices. For generations these crags
have been the playground of the
Highland lads from the surrounding
villages. Once In five years they
hold a festival of Highland games In
this vicinity, sometimes in one vii
lage, sometimes In another. They call
It Crag Carnival, the principal event
being a crag-climbing contest, the
prize for which is valuable climbers

the Cragsmen.'

family used every means In their
power to put stop to this youthful
land romantic attachment, but their
efforts were altogether in vain. AS
for the Laird, he was a good deal of
tyrant and very little love was lost
between him and the villagers. He
was a man of ungovernable temper,
and any opposition to his will was
to him simply incomprehensible
When he found out that he could
neither frighten me nor put stop to
our secret correspondence his anger
was indescribable, and more than
once he threatened me with bodily
injury. Finally. he used his power as

remarkable memory and skill and all
contribute to the completeness of this
life-like scene. Well, one day. on my
way homo from Edinburgh to enjoy a
short vacation. crossed the ferry at
Chanonry Point and walked over
these links to the village. The few
people I happened to meet were in a
state of great excitment. The Laird q
only son and heir. young Ralph Sal
toun, had been missing for nearly
two days, and his whereabouts, some
two miles from the village. had been
discovered only few hours before
my arrival. AS the story was told to
me, the boy had wandered away
among the hills, and. being overtaken
by severe storm, had sought shelter
under ledge high up among the
crags.
"Then torrents of rain had fallen,
and. finally, landslide had left the
boys retreat almost isolated from
the surrounding crags.
without a moments delay
rushed home, secured my rope and
my dirk and hurried to the scene.
Upon my arrival, was informed that
for some time the best cragsmen in
the village had been wearying their
limbs in vain efforts to rescue the lad.
From above, as you can see, the ledge
was unapproachable on account of the
great forehead of crag that hangs
over It. So most Of the rescuers were
trying to scale precipitous mountain
wall on the east side
after looking over the ground, I
determined to try IL from the oppo-
site side-that is, from the west, al
though, as you can see, the prospect
was not very encouraging. So I
swiftly made my way up this ravine
and was soon scrambling up the
smooth face of this clay parapet
which runs sheer up for one hundred
and fifty feet, and ends abruptly In
this razor-like ridge. To all appear
ances this climb of mine was a daring
and foolhardy feat, and the villagers,
who were spread out among the rocks
and on the seashore beneath, looked
up with astonishment and alarm.
Even should l manage to reach the
crest of the ridge at which was aim
ing, they thought my labor would
certainly be in vain, for between its
jagged summit and the boy there was
this gorge, fully twenty feet across.
However, with unflinching courage, l
persevered. l dug out step after step
with my dirk. Now l gained a few
feet, then slipped back few, but
still I pressed upward with feverish
energy. At one time would be fat
