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

William Henry Perkin was an odd
sort of youngster. When he was Is
years old and 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 a de-
cided impression upon the boy. Two
years later he entered the laboratory
of 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
phenenthrene 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 1856,
he found in his test tube, while oxi-
dizing some anilne oil, black, sticky
mass instead Of clear crystals. He at
tempted to wash it out with alcohol
when, to his surprise, he produced
wonderful purple solution-mauve, the
first of the aniline dyes.
Ten years later Perkin achieved his
greatest triumph when he produced
alizarin, or Turkey red, 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 hnan-
cial support or encouragement. 1t
was left to German researchers to
build up the industry and finally to
obtain strangle hold upon the trade

Doubted If She Could Make It.

At recent gathering of musicians
Lieut.. John Philip Sousa told the fol-
lowing story:
eve musicians have one thing, we
give solace or joy to those who listen"
he said. Sometimes, possibly, we
take ourselves too seriously. / recall
giving some concerts in st. Louis some
years ago, and every morning 1 went
down to my breakfast at the hotel

and working away very hard. Finally,
thinking that possibly concert would
be very enlightening and elevating for
her, / stopped her on the stairs one
morning and said, BY the way, would
you like to go to a concert tomorrow
night? thinking, of course, she knew
me. However, she did not know me.
She looked up at me and said: is

A new system of torpedo fire con-
troll by which the firing of torpedoes
in curved course is automatically
controlled has been perfected by John
Hays Hammond, Jr., he announced.
BY means Of this system, he said, a
battleship or submarine could fire a
torpedo at target in any direction
without changing the course of the
vessel. Submarines equipped with the
system could attack two targets at
the same time.

Aunt Nancy's Gorilla Forgot

Which Explained the Necessity for
Taking Up Collection in the
Camp Meeting.

The camp at East Fork has not
only developed some marvellous Usher
men, but it has brought some hitherto
undreamed-of powers of imagination
! among the staid business men in the
party. Some half dozen tents shelter
the men and women folks and the
| children, and there is a special cook
ing tent for Aunt Nancy. They call
1t the studio, for there the real art
work is done, Aunt Nancy having in
herited her unusual capability from
her mother, who lived and toiled ON
the old plantation until freedom came.
Grouped about the camp fire the
other night the members of the party
told and listened to marvellous tales
of adventure and mystery. Nancy, the
cook, an eager listener, sat back in
the shadows until someone spoke up
good naturedly: "Now, Nancy, it's
your turn. Can't you ten us ghost

The black woman got up and came
q little closer to the fire.

Nancy. II heard him tell 1T dozen

pap said. Folks was gettin' awful
tired OF the shootin' and KILN and
stealin', and they just nachurly took
to- ligion. All the benches was full
and big crowds standin' up. Brother
Jerry Hardover, pap said. was doin'
the exhortin' and you could a-heard
him a mile the way the road runs.
Edwards midnight they was all
worked up, some singin', some shoutin'
and goin' on like they does when the
Dimmykrats hold county convention
up at the cot house. Then a tall,
thin man with long hair and white
face gets up and walks forward. They
said he was a gorilla"
"a what" asked one of the auditors.

I'll forgive you
'The preacher held out his hand, but
just about that time three men in
uniform got up and started for the
gorilla, with pistols In their hands"
Nancy paused.
"What happened then?" was asked.
SWELL" sighed Nancy, "after the
muss was over they sung a hymn,
and took up collection"
"A collection? What did they do
that for?'
"To pay for buryin' the three sojers."

The assembly of the League of Ma
tions continues to function, in disre-
gard of the assertions of various per-
sonages that the league is virtually
dead. Parenthetically, it may be said
that the treaty of Versailles guaran-
tees the leagues life for 80 years for
the purposes Of administering the Saar
basin and the control of Danzig. The
chief accomplishment of the assembly
last week was the election of judges
of the international court of justice.
sonal reasons, to be a candidate, the
Latin-American group brought about
the election of John Bassett Moore of
New York. He and ten others were
accepted by the council. Three deputy
judges also were elected and con-
firmed, but there was trouble over the
choice of the fourth deputy. Three
times the assembly elected Senior Al
varez of Chile, and three times the
council voted for M. Descamps of Bel
GUM. At last the deadlock was re-
ferred to a committee. Senior Amador
of Panama threatened to withdraw his
delegation if Alvarez was not accepted
by the council.
The question of the leagues cOmpe-
tence to judge the Tacna-Arica dis
pute and the Chile-Bolivia treaty was
referred to a committee of three jur-
lists. Senior Edwards of Chile stated
that he was not prepared to admit that
the league was licensed to intrude in
purely South American affairs in vio-
lation of the Monroe doctrine. Senior
AramayO of Bolivia, having received
new instructions from La Paz, with
drew his demand that the dispute with
Chile be included in the agenda of the
assembly.

The Irish-meaning the Sim Fem
ers-were willing to hold conference
with the British cabinet at Inverness
this week, as proposed by Premier
Lloyd George, but, as was easily pre-
dicted, they didn't want to submit to
the only condition imposed, that the
Sim Fein must abandon its demand
for separation from the empire. De
Valera sent Harry Boland and Joseph
McGrath with his acceptance of the in
yitation. but in his letter he made sew
eral reservations, chief of which was
his objection to admitting Ireland's al
legiance to the British crown before
entering the conference. He also ar
gued that if the premier objected to
the secession of Ireland from the en-
pire he should not support the seces-
sion of Ulster from Ireland.
Mr.. Lloyd George sent the couriers
back to Dublin with a message to De
Valera that his note was unsatisfac-
tory and he had better write another.
This the governor supplemented by
telegram to De Valera canceling the
arrangements for the Inverness con-
ference because he felt that, in view
of the Irish attitude, negotiations
would be useless. The premier was
as conciliatory as he could be con-
Sistently, but at this writing 1t
is uncertain whether the negoti-
ations for peace will continue. The
Dali Eirann, however, named it's dele
gates for the conference, if it is held,
and De Valera is not one of them. The
delegates are: Arthur Griffith, founder
of Sim Fem and republican foreign
minister; Michael Collins, minister of
finance; Robert Barton, secretary of
economic affairs; cannon Duggan, chief
Irish republican army liaison officer,
who helped TO arrange the truce, and
George Gavan Duffy, the Irish envoy
to Rome.
Several of these men are classed as
moderates. The Freeman's Journal of
Dublin says: "Their task may have its
difficulties, but its successful accom-
plishment will be the crown of a great
achievement. Both nations have their
hearts set on an honorable ending here
and now to the struggle of centuries.
Their desire is well within the realm Of
possibility and practicability. All the
efforts of the would-be wreckers in
Great Britain hitherto have failed.
There is then enough craftsmanship in
the Irish delegation to confirm that
failure and to complete fabric of
peace"

which have been storehCuses OF ro-

Greeks that they step out of the mist

and minute detail. They knew mo more
about the "blind bard" than do we.
Indeed, they were not even sure that
ONE poet wrote both tales. But that
the stories were the work of supreme
genius they were as sure as have been

them.
