K; the chemistry of Hie carbon compounda in moral, and Purniflhed materials thron h the study of which the la\* of mi leni chemistry could be worked out and i nfirmed. Ct is well known thai many of these materials could be produ< d only when operating in a lai way in manufacturing establishments and l>y methods available only in the industries. It is in ihis way, as well a* others, thai the industries lia\ been helpful in the development of the science. But reciprocally the science and its methods, abstract research in the laboratories, have been helpful, nay, necessary to the industries. This is splendidly illustrated in the memorable address of Professor Crookes before the chemical section of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in the meeting in Bristol, in which, sounding the note of alarm regarding the possible deficiency of tin; bread supply of Great Britain, due to Shortage of nitrogenous plant food in the wheat fields, and advocating the proposed parliamentary legislation for the establishment of national granaries in which supplies of wheat could he stored IY.r protection against national famine, he described methods and apparatus used l>y himself in abstract research and later hy Lord R»\ leigh in the search for argon, methods and apparatus whereby atmospheric niti n and oxygen could he made to combin< ith each other with i penditures of enei y low as to make the utilization i itmoi Ptaric aitrogen a commercial p u at C08tfl M l0W as or lower than ||„ ineut ( *" uM be trom applied ... combinatii . in nil r ,l,( ' celebrated deposits of Chili, until
