But what we started out to say
was, this burner is named after
Robert Wilhelm Won Bunsen, Ger
man chemist who was born in 1911
and died in 1899. He was a profess
sor of chemistry at Kassel in Bres-
lau, and later at the famous uni
versity at Heidelberg.
P. S. Won Bunsen didn't invent
the burner-either a man by the
name Of Peter Desdga or the famous
Michael Faraday did. At least, it is
known that both of them used the
same type of burner before Won
Bunsen.

Today the Grand Duchess

As the ruler of her tiny princi-
