FEATS OF CHEMISTRY
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACHIEVING
FAME OR FORTUNE OR BOTH.
Many Patents for Making Artificial
Rubber Have Been Issued, but
Price Still Remains the
Same.

II was announced a few weeks ago
that a distinguished chemist of the
Imperial Technical School Of Moscow
had solved the problem of making ar
tiicial rubber, and that he could sell
the new product at about Is I'D
pound, according to Tit-Bits.
Yet, in spite of this widely dissent
mated piece of news, the price of rub
Der remains pretty much the same.
The reason may be found by examin-
ing the patent office records. During
the last ten or twelve years nearly 300
patents for artificial rubber have been
taken out
Substitutes have been made from
petroleum, from coal tar, turpentine,
peat, from nitrated linseed oil, and by
treating cereals with phyalin.
The latter invention made consid-
cradle sensation so long ago as 1906;
yet, judging by the constantly increas-
ing demand for the natural product, it
has had little effect upon the real rub
Der market.
!. The chemist, working in his labora-
tory can take any substance and
analyZe it-that is, break it up into
its original constituents 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 it's prime
constituents, there he is at sea. By
dint of long and patient experiments,
or perhaps by pure chance, he may
succeed in reproducing some few. nat
ural products, but that is as far as
he can go.
Indigo dye took many years to syn
. thesiZe. A German chemist accom-
plished it at last, but the curious dis
covery was made that, if blended with
the natural product made from the in
! digo plant, the color produced was
both more durable and brighter than
that made by either dye alone. So
artificial indigo has not yet ruined the
indigo planter.
Eat Delhi, the new capital of India,
stands an ancient iron monument
which, though exposed to all wealth
ers, never rusts or decays. Yet it has
no protective covering. Here is a Sc
cret which would be simply invalu-
able to the world which has been dis
covered by some Indian artificer of
old time and most unfortunately been
lost.
At recent meeting of the Iron and
Steel Institute Mr.. Cushman said that
we could face the future with COM
placency if we could rediscover the
secret. To shipowners alone it would
mean a yearly saving of millions. Rust
is the great enemy of the steel ship,
and she has constantly to go into dock
to have her hull coated with anti
corrosive solution.

HOOray! Blood
Free of Impurities
Eczema Gone! Acne, letter,
Rash, Pinples, Carbun-
cles, Boils-Banishedi

The under layer of skin is a fine net
work of tiny blood vessels in which the
famous blood remedy. s. S. s, works
with remarkable activity. This is why
S. S. S, the best known blood purifier.
has such a positive action in the skin.
There is one ingredient in S. s. S. which
peculiarly stimulates cellular or CLAN
dular activity TO select from the blood
or from this fine network of blood ves-
sells in the skin, those elements which
it requires for regeneration
Thus, pimples. acne, eczema, lupus,
or any other blood condition that at
tacks the skin or seeks an outlet
through the skin, is met with the an
tidotal effect of S. S. s.
Under the influence of S. s. s. this
fine network of blood vessels in the
skin is constantly taking from the
blood the nutrition required for healthy
tissue and the cause of disease is just
as constantly becoming removed, scat
tered and rendered harmless. These
facts are more fully explained in a
book on skin troubles sent by The
Swift Specific Co, 100 Swift Bldg, At
lanta. Ga. You will find s. S. s on sale

A Little Learning Is DANGEROUS.

"a little learning is a dangerous
thing" said Thomas ]. Brennan, sec
rotary of the Gaelic society, in New
York. This is we'll understood by the
sincere student of the difficult Gaelic
tongue.
II once knew a student of Gaelic
who attempted, during a visit to Scot
land, to read the commandments in
Gaelic at highland service. He read
them through, but he was troubled by
the look of establishment that ap-
peared on the faces of his highland
congregation.
"The Gaelic student understood this
look of establishment when he found
that he had made the trif1ing mistake
OF leaving out the word not in every
commandment in which it appears"

MOSES A GERM KILLER
STAYED PLAGUE THROUGH THE
USE OF INCENSE.
Oils Used Were Powerful Antiseptics
and This Explains What Has
Often Been Considered
a Miracle.

Moses knew the secret of killing
the germs in the air. This is made
clear by the account Of the staying
of the plague as recorded in the Book
of Numbers. In the sixteenth chap
ter of that book is the story of the
awful plague that attacked the Is
raelites, then in the wilderness and
the story, too; of the method by which
its ravages were stopped. In verses
46 to 40 of that chapter is the fol-
lowing:
As. And Moses said unto Aaron.
Take a censor and put fire therein
from the altar, and put on incense,
and go quickly unto the congregation
and make an atouement for them; for
there is wrath gone out from the
Lord; the plague is begun
At. And Aaron took as Moses COM
manded, and ran into the midst of the
congregation; and, behold, the plague
was begun among the people; and
he put on incense and made an
atonement for the people.
4S. And he stood between the dead
and the living, and the plague was
stayed.
From the plain account of the text
it appears that Aaron separated the
men and women suffering from the
plague from those not yet attacked,
and then he piled the censor with in
cense and swung it between the
could pass over from the plague
stricken to those not yet attacked by
the disease.
1t is probable from the character
of the attack as recorded in the Bible
that this plague was something like
the plaques which have appeared in
late years in Europe, and later in
China, that hasty cholera which
seized upon its victims and Stays them
within day.
1t is well known among the mod
ern chemists that the essential oils
were freely used in the making of
incense with which the censers were
filed. One of the most modern and
approved methods of disinfecting a
/ room is to burn a sulphur candle in
! it, the fumes of the sulphur destroy
ing the germs in the walls and crew
ices. The ancient Egyptians had
| taught the method of disinfecting to
Moses, and he fastened to. instruct
Aaron, probably suggesting to him
precisely what drugs to put in the
censers, so as to make the fumes alb
solute germicides.
This explains what has often been
considered a miracle, but need be
nothing more than the employment of
| scientific means for stopping the
plague.
1t is now believed that the burning
of incense in many of the extremely
ancient temples and other places of
worship, like those of India, while
| made a part of the ceremony, was
really instituted by the very wise
priests of those ancient days, who un-
derstood the dangers of infection.
Especially before such shrines and
in such temples as it was customary
for the ancients to make annual pill
grimages, so did the priests realize
that the thousands and thousands of
! pilgrims had come from various
provinces and from all sorts of con-
ditions of living, and the burning of
| the incense was in reality precau-
ton quite necessary for the prescrip-
ton of the health of the crowds.

Ii Beer a Vegetable.

A vicar advertised for a servant a
short time ago, and a country girl
with a fat, red face, answered the ad-
vertisement.
After the vicar had asked a few per.
sonal questions he said:
"You know, we are all vegetarians
here, and, of course. we should re.
quire you to be one. No meat, you
know-simply vegetables"
She dropped her eyes, and for time
seemed deep in thought. We'll, what
do you think?"- asked the vicar, after
a short time. We'll, SIR she replied
its like this. don't mind so much

HOLD RECORD FOR FASTING
Two Eeesetrie Eneltshmsn Who Prae-

The most persistent faster of all
time was probably Roger Crabb. who
lived In the time Of the common
wealth.
In order to carry out his ideas most
eiectually he sold on his stock in
trade. distributed the proceeds among
the poor and took up his residence in
4 hut near Ickenham. where he lived
on three farthings 4 week.
Instead Of strong drinks and
Wines" says the eccentric Roger, Il
give the old man . cup of water and
instead OF roast mutton and rabbit
give him broth thickened with bran
and pudding made with bran and
turnip leaves chopped together"
Vigorous health was the result says
the London Chronicle. but his Austen
ton from food was regarded with
such suspicion that on one occasion
he narrowly escaped being burned
alive as a wizard.
Another famous hermit who man.
aged to reduce diet to very simple
proportions WAS James Lucas. with
whom many OF us are doubtless

Dickens Tom T1ddler's Ground"
Lucas lived mainly upon bread and
penny buns. though to these we're
added at times eggs and herrings and
gin. A basket slung from the roof
out Of reach Of the rats served him as
a larder. and he abJured washing, all
furniture and clothes, wrapping him
self in an old blanket.
