SECRETS OF CHEMISTRY.
Opportunities for Achieving Fame
or Fortune or Both.

From TtBits
1t was announced a few weeks ago
that distinguished chemist of the I'm
perial Technical School OF Moscow had
solved the problem of making artificial
rubber. and that he could sell the new
product at about Is. I'd a pound.
Yet. in spite of this widely dissent
mated piece Of news, the price OF rubber
remains pretty much the same. The rea-
son may be found by examining the Pat
ent Office records. During the past ten
or twelve years nearly 800 patents for
artificial rubber have been taken out.
Substitutes have been made from De-
troleum. from coal tar. turpentine, peat.
from nitrated linseed oil, and by treat
ing phyalin.
The latter invention made a consider
able sensation so long ago as 1896: yet,
judging by the constantly increasing de-
mand for the natural product, II has had
little effect upon the real rubber market.
The chemist, working in his laboratory,
can take any substance and analyze it.
that is, break Il up into its original con-
stituents and tell you what they are, and
how much Of each element the substance
In question is composed OF.
But when It comes to building up the
original substance out of its prime con-
stituents, there he Is at sea- by amt OF
long and patient experiments, or perhaps
by pure chance, he may succeed in re-
producing some few natural products, but
that Is as far as he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to synthe-
size. A German chemist accomplished 1t
at last, but the curious discovery was
made that, IL blended with the natural
product made from indigo plant, the coll
or produced was both more durable and
brighter than that made by either dye
alone. So artificial indigo has not yet
ruined the indigo planter.
At Delhi, the new capital OF India
stands an ancient iron monument which.
though exposed to all weathers, never
r,,sts or decays. Yet II has no protec-
five covering. Here Is a secret which
would be simply invaluable to the world
which has been discovered by some In
dian artificer Of old time and most I'M
fortunately been lost.
At a recent meeting or the Iron ana
Steel Institute, Mr.. Cushman said that
we could face the future with compla-
cency n we could rediscover the secret.
