Coal Tar Is Source - of Numerous Products When Willilam Murdock first made gas from. coal in 1792, the slimy black coal tar that remained was merely an objectionable by-produect. ° Today coal tar is the source of almost countless products, from perfumes to medicines, and from high explosives to delicate dyes. The most recent product to be made from coal tar is a weatherproof paint for metal roofs that will stretch as the roof expands under the sun and shrink as the roof contracts. This new paint, which I 8 made of c¢oal tar, a melted rubber: compound and varnish, promises to do away with the cracking of roof paints that has been a source of trouble and expense. - i One ton of coal; distilled In a gas retort, produces about twelve gallons of coal tar. Because it was an übpavoidable part of gas manufacture, chemists have been experimenting with it for a hundred years. Thus far more than two hundred compounds have been discovered in it, and a history of its products is in large part a history of modern chemistry. ' In 1823 napthaline was produced from coal tar, and two’years later benzine. Aniline, orginally distilled from indigo, and the base of a thousand and one coal-tar' dyes, was discovered. in 1854, and, four years later, carbollc acid. i

The earliest aniline dye, a deep purple, was made by accident in 1856, as the result of experiments designed to produce synthetic . quinine.—Utility Bulletin. =~ = i

Columbus First Pirate . ‘ in American Waters

Christopher Columbus is said to have been the first person who practiced piracy in American watérs. It is said that his second voyage was nothing less than an expedition for the sake of plunder. Natives were enslaved, and subjected to the greatest hardships, so that they dled in large numbers. A pack of bloodhounds, which Columbus brought with him for the purpose, was used to hunt down the poor Indians when they endeavoréd to escape from the hands of their oppressor, and in every way the island of Haiti, the principal scene of the actions of Columhus, was tredated as if its Inhabitants had committed a dreadful crime by being in possession of the wealth which the Spaniards degired for themselves. : :

Queen, Isabella was greatly opposed to these cruel and unjust proceedings, and she sent back to their native land about ?ZOO‘slayes which Columbus. had shipped to Spain, dnd gave positive orders that no more of the inhabitants be enslaved and that they all be treated with moderation and kindness, According to Frank R. Stockton, 'in his “Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts,” it was because of his alleged atrocities that Columbus was superseded in his command, and sent back to Spain in chains.—Detroit MNows.

Tests Equipmeit

It is sald that whenever a c<ur wheel breaks on a certain great trunk line the fragments are taken to the company’s laboratory ‘and carefully studied so that when the next order for car wheels is made up, if structural weakness caused the accident, it may be guarded against. All the purchases by this railroad of iron, steel, oil, lumber or what not are tested by the chemists it employs and they draw up the requirements to which persons who sell the road supplies must conform. This is not an isolated instance. It lllustrates the practicability of applied science and the reliance of acute business men upon the expert opinion that insures them against wasting materials, time and money.

It Makes a Difference

The boy who had scratched lis name on the paint of the stationary motorcar had been soundly cuffed by the owner. Attracted by the loud howling which resulted, a crowd soon gathered, through which the father of the boy pushed his way. -

“Who struck my son?” he demanded, furiously. “Show me the man!” : " The motorist stepped forward. He was six feet two inches in height and forty-nine round the chest, o - *l'did,* he said, -

. “Served him right, sir,” s,ai,df the man, touching his cap. ‘T'll give him another hiding when I get him home.”

Gratified

At a church conference a speaker made a number of disparaging remarks regarding the universities, finally expressing gratification that he himself had not been corrupted by contact with a college. ; ,

- “Do 1 understand that‘the'gentleman is thankful for his ignorance?” asked the chairman, .=

“Yes,” said the other, “if you wish to_put it that way.” -

“Then,” coptinuéd the chairman, “all I have to say is that you have much to be thankful for.” -

Too Far Off

“How did this vase get broken, Mary?? | : :

“It fell off-the pedestal, ma’am.” “And how did you upset the pedestal?”? | by

“I never touched it. The chair bumped into it, ma’am.”

“Didn’t you push the chalr, Mary?” “Oh, no, ma’am. The table did that. All T did was to push the sofa up against the table. Goodness knows, I can’t see what's goin’ to ’appen so far offY - A
