poor sap weather. Many farmers have

it is of poor quality, as a rule.

cite County, Pennsylvania.
That was the crude beginning OF one
OF Americas key industries, for from
these bee hive ovens, wastcful as they.
were, grew. the great modern plants
that as:onished the world during tho
war by their production of poison
gases, high explosives, fertilizers and
other vital necessities. In times OF
peace these plants produce dyes and
great quantities of intermediates for
the manufacture of other commodities.
In times of war they are easily con-
-yerted into strongholds of defense.
You will remember that it was ar
English boy who discovered the possi-
bility Of manufacturing dyes from coal
tar but England let the great chance
slip through her fingers and as result
she found herself in bad way when
war broke out in 1914. 1t was humili-
ating for the United States to be
caught mapping and to be compelled to
beg Germany to sell us dyes to color
ouF stamps and currency but England
found herself in far more serious
situation. She had no dyes for her
uniforms or flags, and no drugs for
her wounded. She could not sell to
the former German markets because
she could not color her textiles. She
could not send sufficient high explo-
sivcs or gasses to the front because
she lacked the essential coal tar crude.
But England will not be caught
asleep again. She has placed an en-
barge on foreign dyes and is working
with all her strength to develop her
own chemical industry.

Philosopher Of Coal

(Told In Eight sketchss)
~ JOHN RAYMOND
THE PHILOSOPHER OF COAL

In l771, there lived in the forest near
Saarbrucken, in Germany, a chemist
named Stauf. He was an eccentric old
man who had an idea, far ahead of his
times, that many things beside coke
could be obtained in the combustion Of
bituminous coal.
Stauf had constructed number of
ovens over = burning mine and treated
coels so that he obtained oil, pitch, coke
and so6t That was quite forward
step and although he lived in the
! depths of forest the great minds Of
Europe heard Of his work. In fact,
Goethe, himself made pilgrimage to
the ovens of the ifar-seeifg chemist
and in his autobiography wrote strik=:
ing comment on his visit to the Saar-
brucken forest: 81
Ready and glad to pour his COM
plants into Z human ear, the lean
decrepit, little man, with a shoe on
one foot and slipper on the other,
and with stockings hanging down and
repeatedly pulled up in, vain, dragged
himself up the mountain to where
the pitch house stood which he had
built himself and saw with grief now
falling into ruins. Here was found a
connected row of ovens in which coal
was to- be freed from sulphur and
made fit for use in the iron works;
but at the same time they wished also
to recover the oil and pitch, and in.
deed, did not want to lose the, lamp
black, so that all failed together on
account Of the many ends in view"

WEDNESDAY IN HOLY WEEK
Solemn Ceremonies in sistine Chapel
Concentrating the Death and
Resurrection of Christ.

At the Office of the A1iserere, which
is sung in the Sistine chapel at Rome
on Wednesday of Holy week, a cere-
mony takes place in which triangular
candlestick, upon which are Is can
dies, corresponding to the number of
psalms recited, is placed at the epistie
side of the altar.
After each psalm, one Of the candles
is extinguished by master of cere-
monies and after the benedictus the
candle on> the top is alone not extin-
guished, but is removed and concealed
behind the altar and not brought out
until the end Of the service. While the
canticle is sung the six candles on the
altar are extinguished as we'll as those
above the rails.
The custom of concealing the last
and most elevated candle and bringing
it forward burning at the end of the
service, is an allusion to the death and
resurrection Of Christ. In the same
manner the other candles extinguished
one after the other may represent the
prophets who We're successfully put to
death before the crucifxion of their
Lord.
