The Story of London School Boy Who Stumbled
Upon the Secret of Making Dyes
from Coal Tar
(ToId In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND
No. ii
POETS OF SCIENCE

William Henry Perkin was an odd
sort of youngster. When he was Is
years old and a student in the City OF
London School he heard of series Of
lectures on chemistry during the noon
recess. Young William Henry de-
cided that the lectures would be of
more value to him than his lunches, so
he took in the lectures.
Apparently the lectures made de-
cided impression upon the boy. Two
years later he entered the laboratory
of a chemist named Holman in the
Royal College of London and by the
time he was II, had started upon his
career as a researcher Perkin decided
that his mission in life was to isolate
phenenthr. .e from coal tar and pre-
pare artificial quinine. In order TO
speed the day when his task would be
done he set up private laboratory and
worked overtime, While at work in
this laboratory in the spring OF 1850,
he found in his test tube, while oxi-
dizing some aniline oil, black, sticky
mass instead of clear crystals. lie at
tempted to wash it out with alcohol
when, to his surprise, he produced a
wonderful purple soldtion-mauve, the
first of the anlines dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
alizarin, or Turkey rcd, formerly
made only from the root OF the mad
der. Years later the British govern
ment knighted the man who first dis
covered the vast possibilities contained
with coal tar but gave him little finan-
cial support or encouragement. 1t
was left to German researchers to
build up the industry and finally to
obtain a strangle hold upon the trade

LOOKOUT TOWER AT PEN.MAR

The joint contract between the Bell
Telephone Company of Pennsylvania
the Chesapeake and Potomac Com
pany of Maryland and the forestry de-
partments of the two States for the
equipment and use of Mt. Qurauk,
near Pen-Mar Park, as an observation
forest fire tower and for the connect
ing of the two telephone systems men,
toned has been signed and an order
given to the Waynesboro exchange
to proceed at once with the line con-
struction.
1t is expected that the new station
will be connected up and supplied with
a phone within two weeks. During the
forest fire seasons, which cover the
fall and spring, watchman will be
on the job day and night requiring
two men who will divide the time. The
expense of this service as well as 9TH
er costs of maintenance will be borne
equally by the two states.
Mount Qurauk is the highest peak
of the Blue Ridge Mountains north Of
North Carolina. 1t commands a
sweep of the mountains from the Sus-
quehanna to the Potomac and as far
east as Baltimore. On a clear day
smoke can be seen from the ships on
the Chesapeake.

The War Department says that the
body of the unknown soldier was TAX

one of a number of selected graves

issued to American troops, and and
all of whose possessions were decided

Meridian Of Greenwich.

The meridian of Greenwich is gen
orally accepted as the starting line
from which to reckon longitude and
time all over the earth. But obipc-
fions are. from time to time. raised
against the universal adoption of the
Greenwich meridian for such pur-
poses. Recently Italiap savants have
emphasized these objections by point
ing ont that on the meridian of Green
wicl clouds and bad weather are FIRE
Hnent. interfering with astronomical
observations. They suggest that the
civilized world should agree to adopt
the meridian of Jerusalem as a com.
mon reference line because there the
skies are clearer, and the possibility
Of making Palestine neutral territory
would eliminate political objections.

Fifty farmers of the Washington
County Farmers Association have re-
ceived the second shipment of blan-
kets made at a North Carolina mill
from 5000 pounds of wool produced in
that county.
The cooperative plan calls for the
pooling of wool and wholesale manu-
facture, and has enabled the farmers
to get much higher price for wool.
Those blankets not used by the men,
bers are being sold at ten dollars a

BANK ROBBERY ATTEMPTED

Westminster, Md, Nov. 29.-An at
tempt was made last night to loot the
Taneytown Savings Bank, at Taney-
town, this county.
The thieves stole tools from the
Western Maryland Railroad Shops at
Taneytown and entered the bank Gel

concrete wall of the vault by means
of crowbars. They were unable, how
ever, to get through the inner stall
plate, and left without securing any
thing.-Sun.

WAREHOUSE READY FOR
MEDINA WOOL GROWERS

The new wool warehouse at Column
bus is now clearing up their last years
wool consignmenA. Over 100000
pounds of wool has been handled thru
the Association; about 1000 pounds re-
main yet to be disposed OF.
The last sales that were made ran
from % to 40 cents.
This year all wool men know was
a very hard year to sell wool. The
manufacturers only bought what they
needed from week to week.
1t is matter of interest to know
that 90 per cent.of wool sold was ship
ped west of Boston. This gives the
Ohio men confidence in thinking it
will be possible to make Ohio the
center Of the wool trade.
The prophecies of the executive
committee that Ohio would handle the
woods of our neighboring states has al
ready come true. Indiana last week
signed contract to consign 1000, ,0O0
pounds with the Ohio Association. w,
Virginia and Pennsylvania already
have wool in storage.
A. S. Garfield, of Medina county
reports his sales of stock in the ware
house as $4,000 to date. Stock sale
| in the warehouse will be completed
at an early date and then the sale o.
stock will be opened up to adjoining
states.

THE story OF Blanca Capeila might
i well be called 'sThe Face. at the
Window She was born In l54s.
daughter of great Venetian noble.
And no girl ever had more alluring
future. But love interfered and she
ran away with poor bank clerk 10
his home In Florence. He had told her
that his parents belonged TO the gen.
try. Instead, she found them living In
a miserable slum.
Blanca soon became celebrated as
the flower OF the Florence slums One
day she was sitting at the window
when Francesco de Medici chanced by.
He saw her lovely face and the next
day she was summoned to court.
Francesca was the son OF the grand
duke. and soon her slave. She had
sickened of the bank clerk husband
and the trials of poverty.
Francesco's father died and he be-
came grand duke. Now Blanca saw
her chance 10 place beside him. A
child was borrowed and presented 10
ny no LIS ONAA-
Then, 10 conceal her plot. the real
mother was slain. A waiting woman
who knew of II was carried 10
mountain pass and left there for dead.
But adherents of Francesco's brother
foCnti hrs Syscfifsi and and heard heTs.ory
before she died The brother was
cardinal and Jealous OF Biancas rise
10 power. In some way she learned
that the cardinal knew her secret, and
boldly confessed II TO the grand duke.
Francesca, infatuated, forgave her
and insisted on treating the child as
II II really had been his own. But
Blanca's troubles were only multiply
ing, for Francescos wife bore him
son when all hope OF his having an
heir seemed lost. II looked as II
Bianca's day was over. But she left
Florence year, then returned In
greater favor than before. And soon
the duchess died, her young son fol-
lowing her shortly afterward. There
were hints OF poison at Bianca's In
stigation. However that may have
been, the duke married her within
two months. The child first given 10
Francesca as an heir was legitimatized
and II appeared that an unknown
Founding would some day rule
Florence. But Blanca still had one inn
plncable enemy. the Cardinal de
MedicL In an effort TO make friends
she invited him 10 a great feast and
merry-making. Just what happened
may never be known. Some historians
say that Blanca had prepared
poisoned tart for the cardinal. but
that he substituted II for another tart.
Imprisoned, and II was served TO the
duke. When Blanca saw her husband
In deadly agony, II Is said she real
lied what had happened and ate the
other half OF the poisoned dainty.
Both were soon dead and Bianca's en-
emy had won.
