(Told In Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND J No. IV THE ALCHEMIST'S-JJREAM

> Through the literature of the aitcients runs the absorbing story of the alchemist's patient . starch for the tbuchstonc which would transform all base metals into' pure gold, arid the never-ending quest for the- plixir which would restore" ybuth to the aged- and would cure all human ills. The iwchci^ptist, driven from, ccllar'to garret and often put to death, had an elemental knowledge" of chemistry .and vaguely dreamed that it could be' matte to perform wonders. It was Bch Jcyrton's alchemist, Subtle, back in the early seventeenth century who planned "to change all that i« in my house to gold, and early in the morning- to send to all the plumbers and pewtcrers anil buy their tin and lead up; and to L'othhury. for #11 the copper." And(morc than that, . ■ by mfcans of this magic elixir, in- eight and twenty days he planned to trims- ' form an old- man of Jour score- into a prattling child. # Certainly, chemistry" has not succeeded in performing these marvels. ' The philosopher's stone still is an un- i known quantity to science, buried, per- j haps, with the pot of gold' at the rainbow's end, and- the elixir of youth is as deeply hidden -as on that farmff day 1 when Dc Soto set forth so oravely 1 ! from Spain to find it in the new world. ' But chemistry has accomplished wonders by the utilization of coal tar by- ' products which contribute to every , phase 'of our daily - life. Take the fairy' glass of the chemist anfl look into this rather uninteresting substance ' —coal- ' ; - We put a kettle of ifbver a fire' and , we see leaving" at various times what the .chynict calls the Crudcs-benzone-. , tolucac,. xylene, napthalene, phenol. f anthracene, carbazol, autosome others. : '. But these are the most important. .4 Some- are clear liquids, some -are 0 hi aelifiil " rrvstals. . beautiful a

With many , of these "intcrmcdiaics,' one line of '

: treatment will produce drugs, another ■ high 'explosive's, another poison gases, \ ■ still, other perfumes, food flavors and , , photographic materials. Some have t varying peace and wartime uses with- . out further treatment. It should be 1 , noted that some of these, crudes re- 1 quire aiSmany as fifteen manipulations , . to produce a given, compound and in each manipulation a by-product is ; produced -which again must be made ( into something useful in order to avoid , waste. It is because of this treatment and ' retreatmcnt of coal, crudes and intermediates that it is so easy to convert a | dye plant "into a factory for the pro- n duction of high expldsives or poisongases almost over night. • Germahy was indeed farsighted, I in 1859, when she took advantage % of Pcrkin's' disco very, and began the development of a gigantic dye industry f so that site might never be without the crudes and intermediates so essential t success in war or peace.. ? t Gertrfany developed ^ the synthetic , dvc industry, just as, she developed 0 other industries, to create employment and wealth for . hor millions. But ' v -through these developments she learn- _ ci the value of chemistry, of chemicals, and of chemists Ihctflselves. She realearly how dependent her peace v development was on chemistry and t! she soon saw the value of chemical industries to war. Germany saw. that the manufacture of dyes required much c' chemical research and also that dye making made use of the waste prod- a uetg. from the coke ovens, themselves necessity to her' iron and steel industry. She saw its value in the pro- s duction of explosives, gases antf fer- f: tilizers dor her fields. This foresight 1 gave Germany a forty -year start' on „ the United. States, and the rA»t of the
