HOW GREAT INDUSTRY BEGAN
Chemist May Be Said to Have Stun
bIed Over Discovery Of I'M
mense importance.

An experimenting chemist. endeav-
oring to produce artificial quinine. us
ing a base known as aniline, not only
obtained coloring matter called mauve,
but laid the foundation for the coaltar
color industry, which has developed
until today almost every color and
shade OF color is derived from ami
line Aniline had been obtained previ-
.ousIy from the indiso plant eanil.Y
The discovery of mauve created
large demand for the artificial aniline
base, and gave unexpected value to
benzine, 1t yielded aniline by being
treated with nitric acid and with the
borings OF cast iron powdered into
dust. Having done its work In the
aniline still. the dust was used by the
gas maker to cleanse his coal gas from
sulphur, and then it passed to the
manufacturing chemist. who burned the
sulphur out OF IT and produced sui
phuric acid-a cycle of operations
whose beginning and end was the uti
lization OF waste This method of pro
ducing color was responsible for the
desolate madder fields of France and
Holland and for the loss to the Hindus
of their long-cherished indigo cultiva
ton. Anthracene, one of the heavier
oils OF coal tar, caused the fall of the
madder.growing industry Tho madder
produced violets. reds, blacks. purple
and dark browns. Anthracene was
sold very cheaply for lubricating pur
poses until certain chemists heated II
with zinc filings and produced alizarin
and then the secret of the maddeI
plant was discovered. In this way
chemistry displaced agriculture. one
pound OF alizarin having the colorine
power OF ninety pounds of madder,
and the lubricating oil sold at trifle
as waste became valuable colorine
matter.

ANTHRACITE
ROADS LOSE
RATE CASE
Railroads Bill Coal On
Same Plane AS Other
Shippers

WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission late
Thursday decided that hard coal rates
to tidewater and interior are exces-
sive; that mine operators interest
ed in railroads have gotten unfair
concessions in shipping their coal
and that enormous coal tonnage. be-
ing easily shipped, tends to lower
cost OF railroad operation and to in
crease revenues. The decision Is
a victory for the independent ship
pers who have paid high rates and
gotten no concessions.
The commission places railroads
on the same plane as other ship
pers in billing coal over their own
or other rails. The commission re
served the right to fix divisions
when through rate might be the
means of indirectly reducing rates
in cases where the shipper owns
the rail. The commission may also
order divisions made by carriers
be filed with il.
The commissions order require
the carriers to cease from such un
lawful and discriminatory practices
by Sept. Is, 1915.
