friends who regret her death very
keenly. She is survived by her hus

ing friends in Carbondale, went to Jer
niyn, where he will spend a short time
with relatives. Mr. Maxwell was wed
ded over a year ago to a resident of
Cartilage. He Is not only in the best

CHEMISTRY IN BUSINESS.'
Some Idea Briefly Given ns to Ita
Growing Importance.
Howard C. Parmelce, In Success.
A chemist renders very valuable ser
vice to a railroad company and inci
dentally to tho traveling public by
protecting his company against pqor
grades of steel In boilers and rails, and
poor Iron in wheels. Upon his analyst
will depend tho selection of water "for
boiler purposes, and coal for engines
and blacksmith shops. Paints and oils
nro submitted to him for the purpose
of detracting any adulteration, while
babbitt metal and brass will be accept
ed or rejected according to his unnlysls,
lu short, tho nubile little appreciated
tho scientific care taken for Its safety,
and knows little of the varied duties of
tho chemist of a groat railroad com
pany. In like manner, the work of a
chemist in any great commercial indus
try could bo shown to bo equally valu
able and necessary.
It might bo interesting', at this point,
to udd n fow of tho numerous "fakes"
and adulterations which tho chemist
exposes. Alcoholic liquors uro found
mm-'queradlng under nil sorts of mime;-.
A "soot consumer" at 23 cents a pound
may provo to bo common salt worth,
perhaps, two cents and "pure lamp
black paint" has been found to bo two
thirds brick dust. A "butter com
pound" guaranteed to double tho out
put of butter turns out to bo a worth
less digestive ferment and . "freezing
compound)!" or "ice mixtures" nro un
fit tlsfaotory and expensive experiments
which chemists will advise tho unwary
to turn away from. Antimony sulphide
bought lu the open market his been
found to consist mainly of clmreonl.und
In tho endless list of food products tho
chemist mny tlud a fruitful field to
work In, for thero It Is that adultera
tion .runs riot. These instances, to
gether with tho analyses for poisons,
constitute a class of chemical work In
which tho spurious nnd Injurious nro
