Soms of Their Big Achisvsmsnls In the
Industrial World.
In chemistry, as in other practical
matters, Americans have bad the wis
dom to direct their energies to the
special no ils and opportunities of their
country. For Instance, they have built
up the griatest sulphuric acid indus
try in the world. And they have given
so much attention to sulphuric acid
simply because It Is a prime requisite
for our superphosphate fertilizers, our
petroleum refining, our explosives for
blasting aud the numerous other sub
stances of which the United States is
th& leading producer.
Similarly American chemists orig
inated and developed the largest alu
minum Industry In the world, which
supplies us with that lightest of all met
als in ever increasing quantities. They
built up from Its very inception the
largest calcium carbide Industry, which
furnishes ns that new chemical for
producing acetylene light and which,
mixed with oxygen, permits ns to weld
