The Chemical Trade as a Local Industry.

I •.-■ - (To the Editor.) Deak Sir,—Ab I have noticed an article in your contemporary, the "Herald," upon the subject of the manufacture of sulphuric acid-aa a local new industry* ana even going so far as to advocate a Government toward to bncourage this glass of manufac ture, by which, I presume, it is inferred to etabraco the general manufacture of chemi cals, kindly therefore allow mo; to say a few words upon th'fe matter, as haying had cbnsiderablo experience in chemistry for some years back. Let us auk, in the first place : Are there profits and scope for tho lianufacture of cheiilicals in this colony? The answer ia decidedly yes, but owing to the noxious fumes arising from the manufacture of chemicals, it is of the highest import ance that proper apparatus should be so arranged as to collect and condense injurious, compounds, which are apt to ' becoino intermingled with the air, which; descending with the rain, afterwards Sould be liablo to spoil our. ladies! dresses, othing, and destroy property, vegetation, ojr oven life itself. Gehlen, the chemist, lost his life by inhaling one bubble' of'arsenuir etted hydrogen (ho being, the; discoverer of; ;t\Afi compound); but there are many other deleterious, or poisonous cbmpoupds in con nection witti chemicals,,of a serious nature, if, not absolutely so dangerous as tho one here mentioned, which necessitates the import ance of public supervision or a competent! Government inspector to see that no danger may arise to the public in general by the establishment of guch works, upon safe priri-, ciples, not in too; close a' proximity to the city..:To manufacture chemicals in.-'.thl^ colony upon even a large scale would.be one" of tho greatest boons £hat could ever be brought about, both as a source of wealth, and for tho profitable employment of a large nujgber of hands; andI'if I can by any means within my humble sphere be of ser vice to those* .jjvho are defjpous to have information, I shall'jab't only be happjr to ventilate tho subject ittai series of. instifectivo nEfcicTes through the mejliumof your paper for the public good, Taut will, free of charge, test the various samples of sulphurous ore, such as iron pyrites, <fee., "thai; may be tent to me, shouldMiose in th£; oon'ntry districts wish to know the value of su'th material as sulphur producing raw material for sale to the new works about to bo established, and to give the public a brief outline of what is required, and what are tho chances of success in this branch of business, namely, tho manufacture <of Chemicals generally ,;,andl .>vilj beige rsview |ho matter as < ooncißely as "oirciimstanoes will permit. In order to manufacture sulphuric acid, either sulphur breysulphuf, or some substance obtainable in this coloiij| (or imported, but I believe this is not' necessary), such as iron pyrites, has to.be1 &urnt:ih tlio air,' forming tlieroby sulphurous; acid, 32 p^rts by <weight eulph'iir combine^ with 2 x 16 =32 parts by weight of oxygfei to form' 64 . parts of , sulphurous acid— symbol S.O.

I mention this to show that as a poison, in . itself, it i« also'liable to ctritain other injuri §jus compound!', and when the1 "Herald" ljiontiqns that sulphuric acid is u&d in : quantfty, amongst otheHthings, to manu fucturo airated waters with, it is to be hoped that ■no > ger«on would be fool enough to be misled to use sulphuric acid to make snch drinks as jo|J»berry vinegar,l acid drops or other eatable'o'ompounds/Ui place of'acetic,' : citric, or Qtjier acids of a kindfed character. Of courso'l presume the " Herald " did not. mean.to convey a wrong impression, but some porsons are very ignorant, and'spuTc^ have rouio explanation on such matters. -'■■ r The fact is that sulphuric'acid is a'potent? poison and one of the strongest,anticeptics known, thereby j>r.eyen,tjng the germinatiqn a of mother plfttiti^ymega^; butin England/ in order to prevohtf. antjinordinate use>of sulphuric acid in vinegar;: an Act of Par liament was paSaed. to 'disallow its use in ; ' liquids except t6 Ufe 'extent of; I> believe,; ifW remember rightly, two ( per milie.'

The truth iswat-sulphuric acid must not. be used exe'ept as Sin anticepf^c, not" as an acid flavouring, and then only in the small? proportion already alluded to as sanctioned by Parliament in England; Sulphuric acid has much more usefulvjpurppses, thaji, to bo found upon tho .'slielvelj^of, evary howly made manufacturot' who'^altes not tho trouble to investigate its nature Ibr ellect,B. Of such a chemical, -, within a radius of about 30 to 40 miles from Man: Chester, in South Lancashire,; from three to four thousand* tons' are" manufactured weekly. Then again, around Newcastle-on- Tyno, Northumberland, a large quantity is also made, and the quantities here alluded to are then, to a large extent, ife.

That there is .immense scope for the chemical trade in Auckland there is no doubt whatever1, but it is a trade which should be "conducted by a systematic 'method, and if "any of your readers require further information in respect to the chemical trade, I shall be most happy to ventilate the subject from time t*J time through, the columns of the various newspapers,' if such a course would bo likely to leacl to beneficial results to.the public generally or the colony as a.whole.—l am, -eto., James Hubbt. ; Scotia Place, Auckland, June 30th, 1884. :"/!iio '- 'i H '.''

Muddledom and Puddledom.

! ,T3S (To the Editor.) SJjb,—How much longer is a patient and 'long-suffering public going to tamely sub net to the muddling 'did puddling of our roads by the, body corporate called, the Mayor, Councillors, .and citizens of the city of Auckland? When ara'.the people going to rise up against our civic muddle lieads and smite them —or^sack them ? Lot vexed his righteous soul witlrthe filthy con versation'-of the* kicked ; itis burwfetohed l<it to cover our >leather soles with the filthy mire of our streets. About the dirtiest and most disgraceful of our dis graccf ullydirty roads is that which stretches from the foot of College" Road to BilHng tpn's corner. A passing shower renders it unfit for pedestrians, and continuous rain converts it into a veritable,, slough of despond.l ißut riot the "smallest' effort is made td,render t i(it'decen,tly < paßsableI. To siiit,the, convenience, of one City Council lessee/Pjitteson-street was forinedand raised for a short diatauco up to the permanent lfevel. The remainder of the lessees have, apparently in Happy ignorance, built on the lbfvor level, and, consequently, wheji jthe ijoad is finally made, they will hive to raise their buildings eight often, feet, or be"to .(,bat extent.below the footpath. AiSolitnry lb.«see has been peculiarly favoured-by the Council, but the general public are ap parently treated with contempt. ''But for the well-known fact that a corporation has ljeit'iiova body.,to bo kicked nor a soul to be'dt-^-d, the Council long ere this would either n'6i have been able to' Bit down with any degree of t comfort,,"or it would be gjvndirig'a' .warm time with "Helen Blazes." Yeaierday this; piece of road was almost impassable," and certainly quite uu- for mud and slush. Why , don't the Councillors complete a road when tjhey commence forming.: it!

Wliy don't,',they at least attemjpt_ ,to p\ai(i .tain the, principal ■■ approaches to the city in a ■ condition in some degree worthy, of ft Civilised, community?

My wife was advised to try St. Jacobs OIL She procured a, bottle, and I have boon üßinpt it of late withc§oOd: results, but it is of my eldest daughter, 131 years of age; that I wish to tell you. She retired one night, about i months ago, in her usual good health, but the next morning she could not speak. I thought it was cold, and applied the usual remedies, without effect. My. wit a took her tplnverell to seeDr —*-, who said that it .was not a c01d,.; but that her throat was ulcerated low down, and he pronoribed ood liver oil and other medicines, and also aarlned her to inhalo the fames of Stockholm tar, say ing she micht never recover her speech again. At tho expiration of a fortnight, the medicine havings been-finished, another visit to tbe Dr. was made, who again prescribed for,her; but cold my wife he had no hope of her ever being able Co apeak again. Wo began.to despair, but the day I used the oil—about three months after nho was taken ill—l persuaded my wife, after wa had retired, to use the oil, She got up and gave the girl two drops in water, and rubbed it on het threat.
