CHEMISTRY 4,eoo YEARS AGO.

Employed by Chinese In Cure Oi
Disease-The Philosophers Stone.
Yu Tung Kwai, a Chinese delegate
to the chemistry congress, read an
interesting paper before a section OF
the assembly yesterday on the chem.
ical industry Of China. Alchemy, he
said, was known in China at least
200 before Christ, and China still oc.
cupied an important position in regard
to the chemical industries OF the
world.
The principal object of the practice
Of alchemy 4,6OO years ago, he said,
was the cure of disease. Efforts were
also made to evolve preparation
somewhat analogous to the philoso-
piers stone, the result attained being
known as gold pills.
Metallurgical work and dyeing were
known in China from time immemo-
rial, while the processes Of making
gunpowder, paper, glass and porcelain
all originated in the same country,
while it is admitted that the Chinese
of the Seventh century had clear
knowledge Of oxygen.
circumstances in China" said the
lecturer, have now changed. Since
China has been known for thousands
of years to be an agricultural country
and to possess an enormous wealth of
undeveloped minerals, attention has
naturally been directed to the study
of these two branches Of applied
science.
"A board Of agriculture and indus
tries has been instituted, composed of
different bureaus, each bureau manag.
ing some department, such as land
surveying, mine surveying, irrigation
work, etc. Having its headquarters in
Pekin, the affairs of each province are
controlled directly by provincial exec.
utive committees. and shortly, II Is
believed. government experimental sta
tions will be established. Also in
the formation OF chemical societies
provincial societies have been formed,
which will constitute sectional
branches. Agricultural societies too
are being formed in good numbers, and
the last few years have witnessed the
establishment Of commercial guilds
"A characteristic feature about the
teaching system of China is that chem
istry. together with mathematics, is
a compulsory subject in the elementary
schools. This is insisted upon, not
only that the pupils mind may be
trained, but also that the young stu.
dent may acquire some elementary

THE BENTLEY BABY.
>S.&>CS>S.s>&>x.S.&>&>A
NNN~%~N@N

In the summer Of 1887 Holman
Bentley, accompanied by his wife and
child, made a steamer journey on the
Upper Congo, in Africa. Sir Harry
Johnston, in his book entitled George
Grenfell and the Congo" recounts the
result of the journey and the import
ant part played by the Bentley baby.
The party went through the Bolobo
district, which at that time had be-
come excessively hostile to Europeans.
The temporary station of the Congo
State had been burned to the ground,
the chief, 1faka, was dead, and when
the steamer Peace, bearing the Bent
leys, arrived in August, it was rough
ly ordered away. Before sheering off,
however, an idea occurred to Bentley,
Taking advantage of the steamers
halt, his wife and nurse were giving
bath to the Bentley baby.
AS If by accident, the little white
child was held up in view of the angry
and excited people. Suddenly hush
fell on the assembled throng, gradual
ly giving way to a shout of delighted
surprise.
A few minutes afterward, in re-
sponse to urgent invitations to come
on shore, the Bentley baby, in a dainty
white dress, was being paraded
through the town, nursed and dandled
by warrior after warrior, till his
snowy frock was reddened with cam
wood dye or stained with greasy black
marks from those who had stained
their bodies with oil and soot
Mrs. Bentley was equally an object
of interest and admiration, as she was
the first white woman who had ap-
peared in those regions Up to that
time the white man had been looked
upon as a sort of unnatural creature,
who was not bred and born like ordi.
nary human beings, a semi-supernat.
ural being without a mate The Bent
ley baby practically created the mis-
sion station of Bolobo, which has en-
dured ever since.

SAUSAGES AND SAUSAGES,
Bewildercd London Judge Learn
What Are the Ingredients.

Bcwildercd London Judge Learns
What Are the Ingredients.
That there are fresh sausages pre-
served sausages and commercial sau,
sages were facts brought out In the
course of an appeal against a convic-
tion at the London sessions, the ap-
pellant being pork butcher who had
been fined for selling pork sausage
which was not of the nature, substance
and quality of the article of food de-
manded by the purchaser" New York
Times London correspondent says.
The facts were not disputed 1t was
admitted that the sausages contained
as a preservative 22,4 grains of boric
acid to the pound, but the case of the
City of Westminster, which was the
original prosecutor In the matter, was
that 1t was quite unnecessary from
commercial point Of view to use boric
acid in the case of fresh sausages as
distinct from preserved sausages. To
ward the close of the appeal the
learned Judge, Mr., Wallace. remarked:
What is sausage? l have been
trying to find out the whole day."
"A sausage" replied Mr.. Douglas,
who was in the witness box, is com.
posed of meat, cereals. spices, water,
preservative and skin casing"
When is a sausage not a sausage?
When there is no boric acid in it?"
asked Mr., Mccall, counsel for the City
of Westminster.
1T depends on the conditions. A
commercial sausage without boric acid
is not a sausage"
Later, Mr., Douglas again used the
words commercial sausage" to which
Mr.. Mccall remarked: "Of course.
we're not speaking of sausages for
museums"
