NATURE STUFF

Oh cactus sure is funny stuff, It's always filled with stickeys; Americans uSe it for candy. Mexicans for likkers.
 It aint so awful pretty.
 Like cottonwoods and willows, And, though it's used
 For candy and booze, It'll never be made into pillows. The centipede is a funny bird, He never seems to worry. And, though he has thousand legs He's never in a hurry. I'd almost like to be one. If different life I could chose.
 Except on the day
 When I'd have to pay
 Ten dollars a pair for shoes.

T @ulfola Hatred E or F Freme[h Is
 Again Noticed

BERLIN, Feb. 1O.-Recrudescence of the war-spirit of the German peo- pie. which even as late as six months ago apparently had been completely banished. recently has assumed new and noticeable aspect, particularly in relation to the French who generally are blamed for most of the postwar ills of the German nation.
 Civilians and former soldiers alike frankly express the most intense hat red for the French and again are dreaming Of d day when they can even up in war what they have lost in peace. There is no evidence Of ill., feeling against the English and to- ward the Americans, of whom much is expected, commercially, there is every indication of good will.
 England on the whole has been | credited with a desire for fair play in the execution of the peace treaty. but in many sources the opinion pre-. vails that France is destined to have | her way, even at the expense ot the ! integrity or the German nation. (This applied to the situation before the amount of the German indemnity was fixe0.

that the manufacture OF dyes required

MODERN DAY MIRACLES
(By John Raymond
HE ALCHEMIST'S DREAM

Through the literature OF the an
clients runs the absorbing story OF the
alchemist's patient search for the
touchstone which would transform all
base metals into pure gold, and the
never ending quest for the elixer which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure all human ills. The al
chemist, driven from cellar to garnet
and often put to death had an ele-
mental knowledge of chemistry and
vaguely dreamed that it could be
made to perform wonders.
1t was Ben Johnson's alchemist
Subtle, back in the early seventeenth
century. who planned to change all
that is in my house to gold, and early
in the morning to send to all the
plumbers and pewterers and buy
their tin and lead up; and to 10th
bury for all the copper" And more
than that. by means of this magic
elixer, in eight and twenty days he
planned to transform an old man of
four score into a prattling child.
Certainly, chemistry has not sue
ceeded in performing these marvels
The philosophers stone still Is an
unknown quantity to science, buried.
perhaps, with the pot OF gold at the
rainbow's end, and the elixer OF youth
is as deeply hidden as on that far-off
day when DeSoto set forth so brave
ly from Spain to find it in the new
world But chemistry has accom-
plished wonders by the utilization OF
coal tar by-products which contrib
ute to every phase of our daily life.
Take the fairy glass OF the chemist
and look into this rather uninterest-
ing substance-coal.
We put a kettle OF il over a fire
and we see leaving at various times
what the chemist calls the crudes-
benzone, toluene xylene, pathalene,
phenol, anthracene. earbazol and some
others. But these are the most i'm
portant. Some are clear liquids, some
are beautiful crystals. but all are
brought out OF the black coal tar by
the magicians wand, which is simply
fractional distillation: that is, catch
ing and condensing the vapors given
off at various temperatures.
Now. what OF the crudes? Add nj
trio acid, or any one OF hundreds OF
chemicals. and either heat or cool as
the case may be, and we get a host Of
other compounds described as interme-
dates. Although some Of the crudes
and many Of the intermediates are
