One of the great developments of science and system

in the German chemical industry. This hae existed hardly 30 years, but the 1907 pro duction of its 9,000 factories and 200,000 employés is expected to reach $357,00 1,000. Success is due to army of scientific workers. One plant alone has 190 chemists engaged in the search for new products, and their skill has bear bought by years of study and investigation. Another secret of great results is that factories combine and cooperate, lessening waste by es rigning specialties to each concern. The sunul products of the German chemists include a million tons of sulphuric acid, balf a million tons of soda, five-sixths of the d es ured in the world. and 310, 00,000 of quining antipyrine and antifabrine.

Though alcohol was obtained from pat as long ago ns 1870, the first attempt at mou. fastare en su industrial scale seems to hara bewn begun by Reynaud in Denmark in 195. The peat was heated with dilate sulphuric acid, and The sugar solution so obtained was fermented with a special yeast. In this way some thousands of gallons of alenhol were produced last year at Aalborg. The tormented liquid, boster, con- tained not more than one per cunt, of alcohol, und the anticentration of so weak a spirit promised very doubtful proüt. Better resul'a are claimed from independent azperiments by Herr Frestidine and Baron Fork. Ordinary peat containing 62 per cent. of water was boiled 1 ainutes with dilute sulphuric acid in a copper Tessal, under a pressure of three atmospheres, and the liquid was then pressed out, the excess of seid neutralized with chalk, and after filtra- tion the resulting solution was fermented. This product yielded 5 per cent. of alcohol, corre- sponding to about 20 gallons of abeshite slephot from 500 pounds of pest,
