A mysterious building had been

it was a chemical laboratory. An old
farmer driving past the place after
work had been started, and, seeing
a man in the doorway, called to him:

1--WE are searching for universal
solvent, something that will dissolve
all things" said the chemist.

Imagine, sir 1t will dissolve all
things. If we want a solution of iron,

to do is to drop it in this solution"
Fine" said the farmer, fine!
