While standing at St.'George's Par- ish' Church, Glasgow, where many of the.:,large funerals start from, I was surprised the other day when an offi- cial of a hiring establishment, pointing to a gentleman just getting into a mourning coach, whispered, "Do you see that old chap? He has been going to funerals for years. He has a per- fect craze for them, and never misses an opportunity when there is an open invitation in the newspapers. And he is one of the cheeriest old fellows 1 have ever met. He told me one time when I remarked to him that he must have assisted in the laying down of hundreds of the citizens of Glasgow, that it dust hint, nothing, and was al- ways a nice change. Imagine speak- ing of a funeral as a 'nice change.' "Six summers ago I was engaged at a big posting establishment in the Perthshire Highlauds.' At the funeral of a local notability; to which there was an open invitation in the adver- tising columns of the newspapers, ,theap was an extraordinary turnout. 11 took us all our tune to get the ne- cessary number of coaches, for the churchyard was a good distance away, and the mourners could not have hooks. Put them in a bowl, covert walked the distance. There were re- with cloudy ammonia, and leave soaking for half an hour. Then stir round with a stick, pour off the am- monia and dry the hooks.

German chemists are co-operating to find substitutes for •a number of compounds for which Germany de- pended upon foreign sources of sup- ply, which have been cut off by the war. These are chiefly rubber and gasoline. The necessity for gasoline or a suitable substitute is most pressing, as the transportation problem is the most, serious factor in the great war, where men in lines. of battle extending for hundreds of miles en both fronts must be kept provided with food and atnrnunition. The German eheanists have turned to benzol and ,alcohol as substitutes. Benzol is a by-product of the manu- facturer of eoke, and the German production amounts to about 160,- 000 tons a year in normal times, of which about 60,000 tons are used for chemical purposes. Benzol possesses very valuable qualities as a fuel, containing 9,560 heat units per kilo, and being only slightly inferior to gasoline in this respect. A disadvantage in its use in the winter is its high freezing point. Benzol freezes above 32 de- grees Fahrenheit, and must he raised to about 45 degrees before it will melt: Efforts are being made to overcome this disadvantage by adding nitrogen. There is no dan- ger of its freezing when mixed with alcohol, .and the mixture hes proved very satisfactory in the experiments thus far made. There is no short- age of alcohol in Germany, as the available supply in August Mast was more than 36,000,000 gtallons. Problems arising from the short- age of rubber are much more com- plicated, although they ,have not the same direct importance in connec- tion with the war. The cutting cif of imports of caoutohouc has stimu- lated efforts to rnanufactnre rubber or its substitutes by the synthetic process, Several satisfactory sub- stitutes have been evolved by .corn- bining acetc„ne and benzol products: with ea•outcihoue. Another serious problem con- fronting the -ch�e,inists is that of pro- viding the industries and agricul- ture with nitrogen. The importa- tion of 'saltpetre has been inter- rupted, ,Sadtpetre, is used largely in the production of nitric acid, which is important in. the manufac- ture of explosives. The supply of saltpetre, therefore, is being con- served for military uses, and oheln ists are making efforts to obtain from other sources the nitrogen ire- t eessary in agriculture and the veal- ous manufacturing industries. 1 The surgeon knows how to ,B' get< in - 4 side information, e Angry Employer—.Do you mean mines to odntradiot ane ?
