NATURAL DYES IN DEMAND.
%
But They Hardly Take the Place of
the Aniline Products.
A virtually forgotten industry is
being revived with frantic haste as
a result of the discontinuance of Gerv
many's world commerce in aniline or
coal tar dyes, according to a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic
society from its headquarters in
Washington.
The United States, like many other
countries, is looking longingly once
more to Avignon's madder root for
its 'Turkey-red," to India's indigo
for its blues, to Mexico's cochineal
h for its scarlets, to Central America's
* logwood for its blacks and browns, to
P our own oak forests for their quercitron
yellow, and?no, not to the
peculiar Mediterranean seashell for
its purple, for the manufacture of
the Tyrian shade beloved by emperors
is one of the so-called lost arts.
But these ancient vegetable dyes,
some of which were in use when the
mummy cloths were being made for
the pyramid builders of Egypt, can
never replace the coal tar * dyes,
which, during the sixty years since
they were accidentally discovered,
have revolutionized the art of adding
color to our clothes, our houses, our
inks, our shoes, our wall paper, our
hats and our bookbindings. In fact,
aniline dyes furnish almost all of the
modern tints for which man is responsible.
It was in 1856 that a young English
chemist, while trying to produce
artificial quinine, distilled from coal
tar a substance which had a beautiful
* mauve tint. This was the first of the
aniline dyes, dyes which have now
Sbeen produced in nearly a thousand
commercial shades, 400 of which are
widely used. This young chemist,
j William Henry Perkin, secured capital
from his father and began the
. manufacture of dyes, as a result of
which he was knighted and amassed
a fortune. His discovery immediately
attracted the attention of German
manufacturers who, aided by farsighted
bankers, employed university
/ chemists, and established dye plants
on the Rhine and Main rivers, inaugurating
an industry which has enf
joyed phenomenal success. At the
1 outbreak of the present great war
twenty-one manufacturing establishments,
most of them within an area
off 130 square miles, had a practical
* world monopoly of the aniline dye
trade.
It is not a coincidence that twelve
of Germany's biggest dye factories
' are located at Essen, adjacent to the
leading munition plants of the Teutonic
empire. The same coal tar
which produces dyestuffs also furnishes
the essential ingredients of the
high explosives used in the shells of
the 16-inch guns which battered
down the forts of Liege and which, fill
the head of the deadly submarine tor>
pedo.
Up to the time of Peking's epochmaking
discovery, coal tar was the
despised by-product when coal was
. burned to produce coke and illumiI5
natlng gas. Today the once rejected
third product has become, as it were,
the keystone in the manufacture not
only of dyestuffs and high explosives
but of many perfumes, photograph
^ developers and innumerable medicinal
compounds known as coal-tar
preparations.
' At the outbreak of the world war
life- v the United States was importing annually
from Germany about $15,000,000
worth of aniline dyes. The discontinuance
of these dye shipments
has had an effect upon our industries
out of all proportion to the actual
value of the imports, for the
- manufacturing establishments in this
country which used these dyes employ
more than 2,000,000 workers
7 and many of the factories have been
forced to run on half time or even
: less.
Th a inorftasft in tha r.rir<ie nf anmft
of the dyes can only be compared
with the astonishing* increase in the
prices of shares in some of the "war
bride" stocks. For instance, patent
blues have registered the astonishing
advance from 60 cents to $24 a
pound. Other dyes which formerly
sold for 25 cents a gallon now bring
$12.
Since 1893 the .United States has
produced only about 20 per cent, of
the dyes needed in domestic manu0
f act u res.
His Viewpoint.
j Robert Skinner, ex-consul general
to London, said at a dinner:
"Of course, neutrals see things
from one viewpoint, and belligerents
from another. We all have our various
viewpoints.
"An English inebriate was recent_
ly released from jail. To a friend
f who met him outside the prison gates
he said:
" 'Well, mate, wot noos?'
" 'There's a law again' treatin',
was the reply, 'and pretty near the
whole world is at war.'
"The inebriate shook tyis head sadly
and wisely.
^ "'Just think!' he said. 'Just
think of a no-treatin' law havin' sech
an effect as that!' "

All About Guns.
The commonest injuries produced
in war are gunshot wounds. Until
50 years ago a soldier's musket carried
only about 835 feet; and this
degree of efficiency had not Deen exceeded
for more than 200 years, i. e.,
from 1640 to 1859. In other words,
the wars of Louis XIV, the struggles
of the French revolution, the Napoleonic
wars, the Crimean war and our
war of 1812 were all fought with
firearms which had no effect at a distance
greater than 835 feet. In
1857, however, the smooth bore gun
barrel was replaced by the rifled barrel,
and this change caused an immediate
increase in the carrying distance
to 2,000 feet. At the time this
result seemed to the whole world
nothing short of a miracle; but as
early as 1866 a French officer,
nl ? _ x V>.r ?/>mn introntad Q rl fl O
LilittSSOpui uy uauiCf iu?cubw ?* nuv
having a calibre of 15 millimetres,
which carried 4,000 feet. Ten years
before, this accomplishment would
have seemed quite impossible. On
November 4, 1867, the new Chassepot
rifle was submitted to a practical
test. The French sent a detachment
of men to occupy Rome and to hold
it against the advancement of Garibaldi.
The effect of the new rifle in
the engagements was so remarkable
that the entire French army was immediately
equipped with Chassepots.
The Chassepot rifle weighed nine
pounds, and the Gras rifle, which was
introduced in 1874, weighed nearly
as much, but it had a carrying distance
of 6,000 feet. After remaining
the same for 217 years, the carrying
distance of firearms was thus
increased in 15 years by 5,165 feet.
At the same time the firearms of the
Austrians, Prussians and Italians
were also greatly improved, and a
repeating rifle, firing 16 shots a minute
and having a carrying distance of
9,000 feet, came into practical use.
The rifles in use today are much
lighter, are more easily handled and
carry a distance of more than 12,000
feet at the rate of 2,700 feet per sec- !
ond. The revolver was first introduced
in 1850; since then it has also
undergone great improvement. Its
/>oi.i.vinir riictnnrp which at first was
V/C*X X J
only about 100 feet, was increased to
330 feet, then 680, and finally 4,000
feet.
In comparison with such means of
defense and offense, it is interesting
to call to mind the weapons of the
ancients. A javelin could be thrown
about 84 feet; the sling ordinarily
hurled its missile 266 feet, the Balearic
sling-men being famous, however,
because they could hurl a stone
333 feet. The wooden bow was in
use until the middle of the 15 th century;
by means of* it an arrow could
be propelled a distance of 265,330
feet, while the steel crossbow, which
came into use later, carried from
330-340 feet. The old blunderbuss
of the Pilgrims, which was supported
on a fork, was effective for about
500 feet. The early musket carried
about 600 feet. This firearm was
much improved, so that it could shoot
a distance of 835 feet, and this was
the best the world knew until 1&57.
The Rivers of South Carolina.
The following verses from an old
book once popular in the South have
been resurrected from the Clemson
library by Prof. Morrison and pub
lished in "The Tiger:"
By the rice fields and sand hills run
the rivers small and great,
From the mountains to the ocean in
the grand ''Palmetto State."
From Savannah on the westward to
the eastmost Waccamaw;
By Catawba, where the red man once
untroubled kept his squaw;
Bubbling, hurrying, foaming, splashing,
gently, smoothly, then they
flow.
Once they find her sunny borders
ne'er across them do they go.
Pacolet, Saluda, Pee Dee, Tyger,
Broad, Bush, Enoree.
To Savannah, Chauga, Little Seneca,
and Tugaloo,
Keowee and Toxaway, and the rat
Uiug xvuun.; gu
To the ocean Coosaw-hatchie, lazy
Lynch and dark Cheehaw,
Ashley, Cooper, these, in Indian, Etowah
and Washmasaw.
Eastward flowing is the Coosaw, by
the lands of Edisto; .
By the Salke-hatchie, and the Pocataligo.
By the countless fields of cotton
spread the Small and Great Pee
Dee;
Here the sea waves kissing, Sampit,
Broad, May, Wrights and Chincasee.
Here are Taulee, Bull and Rarbon,
and the wayward Wadmelaw,
Morgan and small Kiawah, Sleepy

Combahee and sluggish Wando and
the narrow Ashepoo.
From Savannah west and southward,
from tile eastmost Waccamaw;
To Catawba, where the Indian still is
living with his squaw;
From the rich hills to the barrens,
busy rivers, small and great,
Run by factory and plantation in the
grand "Palmetto State."
V
Boosting the Town.
"A commercial traveler arrived for
the first time at a small country town
one evening. Next morning he was
awakened by a great blowing of whistles,
steam sirens, buzzers, etc.
Rejoicing in th x thought of doing
a lot of business, e asked the hotel
proprietor later on:
"This is quite a manufacturing
town, isn't it?"
"Oh, yes; we're pretty busy," was
the proud reply.
"What kind of factories have
you?"
"Well"?this time more slowly?
"flour principally."
"Only flour?"
"Yes, that's all as yet. , But our
flour mill's a good one."
"But I heard at least a dozen whistles
going this morning."
"You did," agreed the proprietor,
dropping his voice confidentially,
"but they are all at the flour mill.
You see, we got the whistles we
should want for the factories we are
going to have, and put them in to
make the town sound more lively.
Quite 'citified,' ain't it?"
The light of the sun is 600,000
times greater than the full moon.
Australia's wheat yield will approximate
145,000,000 bushels.
