***

“As a chemist, I am convinced of the possibility of obtaining nutrients from the combination of elements of air, water and earth, in addition to conventional culture, i.e. in special factories and factories.

In a water-alcohol solution, alcohol, depending on the concentration, can exist in the form of three hydrates - an alcohol molecule with one, three and twelve water molecules. When the alcohol concentration is less than forty degrees, hydrates with 12 water molecules predominate in it, hence the low viscosity and feeling of dilution.

My neighbor, a chemist, a handsome fellow, twirled his exquisitely short jacket, sat astride a chair like a hussar, and said, slamming his heel: “The Union of Russian Chemists in Paris Chemical is throwing a ball... I ask you on behalf of the Chemical Union to fold us a madrigal.” - and he is so angry... He boiled, foamed, like soda with acid... I can’t, having put the Muse in a flask, Boil it over a gas stove And, straining it through a blot of paper into a test tube, Serve a chemical broth to the table... The poet and chemistry with each other so dissimilar, Like a butterfly and... a drunken postman.

Yes, I’m a chemist,” said Sanka, barely looking up from his well-worn illustrations. - What is this? - Well, let’s find out what it consists of. - Compound? - Yes, yes, the composition. We decompose. - But the leaf - can you also know what it is made of? - Karnaukh picked a geranium leaf from the windowsill and spread it on the tablecloth in front of Sanka. - And the leaf too. - Spread out? - Yes, spread it out. - Down? And then fold it again so that the sheet comes out again? - Karnaukh got completely fired up and, out of breath, asked Sanka. - No we can not. “That’s it,” Karnaukh said in a fallen voice and threw the sheet onto the windowsill. - No, we can do some. Here we can make a smell. Violet or lily of the valley, and let there be no flowers a hundred miles away. Everything is in jars, in flasks.
