Isabella II. when thirteen years old was declared of age by the cortes ip 1846, and after stormy reign of twen- ty-fve years was deposed by reTolu- tion which began in the fleet on Sept. IS, 1868, and was joined by the garri- son and city. of Cadiz and by nearly all of Spain during the month. A pro- visional government was established and Marshal Serrano was made regent. The cortes voted for a monarchy on May 21, 1869, and after several offers, of the throne had been refused it WAS finally accepted by Amadeus, duke of Aosta, who was proclaimed king on Nov. 2, 1870.
 After an uncomfortable reign he ab- d.cated in 1873 and was succeeded by another republic, which lasted for two years, when Alfonso XII, son of Queen Isabella and father of the pres ent king, was elevated to the throne.

Artificial Ineliae.

Artificial indigo owes much of it's commercial success to an accident. Al though synthetic indigo was first pro- duced in 1870, it did not become a se- rious rival to the natural article un- til a thermometer was accidentally broken and the contents of the bulb ran into the heated mixture of naph- tha1ene that was all too slowly being converted into phthalic acid, the basis of artificial indigo. It was then ob- served that the conversion became much more rapid, and from that day the use of mercury has played big part in making artificial indigo com mercial success. The accident occur red after years of patient research, and it is now the boast of chemists that they are able to produce on a commercial basis a compound exactly the same as natural indigo-London Standard.
