that children under fourteen often
do not go to school simply because

sibility. Neither one of them has
showed any desire to do what their
consciences as public officers ought
to tell them to do. If the sheriff
doesn't make complaints, Mr.. Gala
hans suggestion that the county SUI
perintendent has moral duty" TO
perform is perfectly reasonable. But
don't suppose moral duty" means
anything to hardened politicians.

something to do with this matter. |

American Chemists Have Accomplished the Wonders
Which Ancient Chemists Strved for by the
Utilization Of Coal Tar By-Products
No. Nv
THE ALcHEMIST'S DREAM
(Told In Eight Sketches)
BY JOHN RAYMOND

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 elixir which
would restore youth to the aged and
would cure jail human ills. The alche-
mist, driven from cellar to garnet and
often put to death, had an elemental
knowledge of chemistry and vaguely
dreamed that it could be made to per-
form wonders.
1t was Ben Jonson'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 Lothbury for
all the copper And more than that,
by means of this magic elixir. in eight
and twenty days he planned to trans
form 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 un-
known quantity to science, buried, per-
haps, with the pot of gold at the rain
bows end, and the elixir of youth is as
deeply hidden as on that far-of day
when De Soto set forth so bravely
from Spain to find it in the new world.
But chemistry has accomplished Won
ders by the utilization of coal tar by
products which contribute to every
phase of our daily life. Take the
fairy oIasc of the che,,oiSt and took in
to this rather uninteresting substance
coal.
We put a kettle of it over fire and
we see leaving at various times what
the chemist calls the Crudes-benzone,
toluene, xylene, napthalene, phenol,
anthracene, carbazol, and some others.
But these are the most important,
Some are clear liquids, some are

FIRE DEPARTMENT
CALLED TO MANY
BLAZES LAST WEEK

Unfavorable weather, high winds
and low temperature. always serve to
give the fire department busy time
answering calls to chimney fires. Yes
terday there were seven calls turned
in, six of them chimney fires. In the
afternoon three calls came in seven
minutes taking out the entire force.
There were at 1880 Emerson street,
the residence of John Cassin; at 80
Sixth avenue S., the home of Joe
Schoenemann; and at the residence
of Mrs. Johanna Graves, 317 West
street. In the morning there was a
chimney fire at the home of Max Ur-
manski, 140 Chellis street, and at the
home of George Schorr, 700 Grant
street. There was no damage report
ed at any of these.
At 1885 o'clock in the forenoon, the
pitching room at the plant of the
Wausau Brewing company caught fire
and two motor companies were called
out. The damage was estimated at
approximately 5000 At six O'Clock
in the evening there was chimney
fire at the home of August Schivek,
1912 Fifth street.
Last Saturday evening at eight
O'Clock some individual noticed flames
coming from the chimney of the c.
& n. w. depot and turned in an alarm
from the box at the High bridge. 1t
is customary at the depot to clean the
chimney occasionally by burning it
out. the slate roof and strong Chin
ney making this perfectly safe The
depot force had no knowledge of the
cal! being turned in and the run made
by two companies turned out to be

DYE WORKS.

of these intermediates, one line of
treatment will produce drugs, another
high explosives, another poison gases,
still other perfumes, food favors and
Photographic materials. Some have
varying peace and war time uses with
out further treatment. 1t should be
noted that some of these crudes re-
quire as many as fifteen manipulations
to produce a given compound and IN
each manipulation by-product is
produced which again must be made
into something useful in order to avoid
waste.
1t is because of this treatment and
retreatment of coal, crudes and inter-
mediates that it is so easy to convert
dye plant into factory for the pro-
duction of high explosives or poison
Gus gases almost over night.
Germany was indeed farsighted,
back in 1859, when she took advantage
of Perkins discovery, and began the
development of gigantic dye industry
SO that she might never be without the
crudes and intermediates so essential
to success in war or peace.
Germany developed the synthetic
dye industry just as she developed
other industries, TO create employment
and wealth. for her millions. But
through these developments she learn
ed the value of chemistry, of chemicals,
and of chemists themselves. She real
lied early how dependent her peace
development was on chemistry and
she soon saw the value of chemical in
dustries to war. Germany saw that
the manufacture of dyes required much
chemical research and also that dye
making made use of the waste prod
ucts from the coke ovens, themselves
a necessity to her iron and steel in
dustry. She saw its value in the pro-
duction of explosives. gases and fer
tilizers for her fields. This foresight
gave Germany a forty year start on
the United States, and the rest of the
world.
