As yet I have only drawaiyour
attention to Chemistry for the most

are{ charms, however, attached to

To it we are indebted in part for
our excellence in -the culinary art. ..
In the operation called' cooking,
many accidents happen daily which
a proper application to Chemical
principles might have averted with
the utmost facility. The exquisite

Not only is the.eye of Chemistry
