E Thebavy department is something lige n man having a coat with elghtipockcta In It. The department consists of eight bureaus, each one having separate ap • | propriations made by congress for the ' -purchase of everything it requires, y : There is one thing that every bureau has , an i appropriation for, and. that Is the .Jtepr (if 100- Tho contract is lot every year, and each office in the navy yard at f Mare Island 1b allowed a certain quantity. I Of courso, it is all puid for out of dliTer f ent appropriations. Last year the con- I tract was let to a party In Vallejo, and I the VaJlejo (Cal.; "Chroniole" explains the modus operandi of payment. ' Tho contractor is paid for the ice on t the 30th of December and the 30th of i June of every fiscal year. As there are I eight bureaus it roquires eight seta of I public bills, each 6ot consisting of firo , vouchors. These . vouchers muet be r signed by tho senior members of tho > board of inepeotlou that tho ice was of , good quality, etc. Thon they go to the I general storekeeper for his eortllioato - that ho reooived the lee and that it was i according to contract. Then they go to ' tho commandant for bis upprovul; then" go to Washington for the approval ol the paymaster general, who approves, and i then sonds them to the navy pay office . at San Francisco, tho contractor In a i fow days getting hie money. I Our readers will see that paying for • the lco for tho first half of tho tlseal i year it required forty vouchers and 200 s bguaturus; and this is not all nor half. ( When tho ice Is received it must be in ■ voiced to the heads of tho eight diiferont departments, and these vouchers aro in triplicate anil require three signatures [ each. Thus it will bo seen that there must be twenty-fouj vouchors und sov enty-two signatures added to the number mentioned. This is the routino gone i through with on tho 30th of every Do i oembur, and tho same thing, is gone i through again on tho 30th of Juno; but. I there is more to como. As every con tract has a proviso that twenty per cent. I shall bo deducted from every payment i until the contract Is completed, reserva tion bills most be made out, which rc i quires forty vouchers and 200 signatures . to be added to those already meutionod ; so, taking it ail in all, the payment fo . tho ono item of ice for tho Mare island ~iiuvy yard requires in tho aggregate 100 i Touchers and 71-1 signatures.

Coa! , tar yields, on redistillation, siiiong other tiling*, a large amount oa volatile oil i ; calico benzol. Hofmann found that' benzol, upon ' proper treatment with pertain chemicals, i yielded aniline. This !s an oily liquid, akin In its nature to tho liquid alkaloids. I nicotine from tobncoo and Conine from ! , hemlook. Hofmann also sucoeeded in i I trotting a beautiful deep magenta dye I , frond' aniline by oxidation, a process iu i , which a substance called the oxidizer ! gives up some of Its oxygen to the body . oxidized. This dye he called rosaniline", i and from it may bo obtained every con- | i ceivable shade of color. It is a curious fact that this intense dye Is colorless in un absolutely pure state, but on uniting ; with acids it at once takes on its charm - , teristic vivid crimson color. Since the i most important part in tho manufac'iri 3 , of these dyes dopends upon the oxida tion of tho aniline, it is necessary to got . some common and Inexpensive sub stance for that process. Unfortunately for tho personal com fort of many people, arsenic acid, of our most fatal poisons, is the ; in stance genernlly used. It is due to l; i chemical that so many of the fabrics dyed with aniline colors are injurious. The dyes in themselves are harmle*? The arsenic acid is not essential to the , color, but afier it has done its duty as an . oxidizer, the manufacturer does not take the trouble to remove the pel-011 us efully from tho dyes. The sugges tlon to me other n .idlzors that are harmless has often been made, but ar ■nlc acid is in sucli general use that munu"aclurors are unwilling to giv ■ it up. I It is said of Hofmann's discovery that it was the result of a chance. He had 1 oen trying the action of nnilino wit . different chemloals, and without cleauin,. his test tubes had left them standing in the rack. The next day, upon his return to the laboratory, he found, to his joy and astonishment, that soraolhing quite unexpected ;had taken place. Beautiful crystals of a deep magenta color lwi'< formed during the night in one of lb lest tubes. With eagerness ho exuinin •>; them, but could not remember how 1 had been formed, At last it occurred u< him that this was the result of theoxi dat'on of anilinp. This was tho begin ping of Hofmann s great work upon ro -uiuline. oi it has also been discovered that an ,btjmy.body contuined iu,qoat tar 'can be converted" into one of the most important and' beautiful vegetable dyes known r. , • v ~f • , ; ..... .1. . , ysijgjjpffag/n and since the. discovery tie primps id' madder ate so low 1 iiu .1 is un 1 '.remunerative to raise il,"ami the giilti'va 1 ion of the plant lhav be cpnsidorod as a thiiigof the past. Such is tho wondrou growth of the discovery. It is the fruit of Scientific researches in organic Cheni conducted ifiobtly' from a scientific point of view. One very important' coloring matter related to coal tur. aiid bjjo of tho orig inal sources of aniline—a product of -> great value as alizarine —has yet to be produced on a largo scale. This Is in digo. Adolph Baoyor, a German chem ist, has shown that it can bo produced arflilciaHy, but uf prevent no practical means of accomplishing it havo boon discovered.
