Mitchell Palmer in _Saturday
Evening Post_, July 19, 1919, tells of how Germany monopolized chemical
industry. "The Carbonization of Coal" by V.B. Lewis (Van Nostrand,
1912). "Research in the Tar Dye Industry" by B.C. Hesse in _Journal of
Industrial and Engineering Chemistry_, September, 1916.
Kekule tells how he discovered the constitution of benzene in the
_Berichte der Deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft_, V. XXIII, I, p. 1306.
I have quoted it with some other instances of dream discoveries in _The
Independent_ of Jan. 26, 1918. Even this innocent scientific vision has
not escaped the foul touch of the Freudians. Dr. Alfred Robitsek in
"Symbolisches Denken in der chemischen Forschung," _Imago_, V. I, p. 83,
has deduced from it that Kekule was morally guilty of the crime of
OEdipus as well as minor misdemeanors.

Chemistry.
