TWO:One of the most interesting street sights of their first day in Pekin was a procession carrying a dragon made of bamboo covered with painted paper. There was a great noise of tom-toms and drums to give warning of the approach of the procession, and there was the usual rabble of small boys that precedes similar festivities everywhere. The dragon was carried by five men, who held him aloft on sticks that also served to give his body an undulating motion in imitation of life. He was not pretty to look upon, and his head seemed too large for his body. The Chinese idea of the dragon is, that he is something very hideous, and they certainly succeed in representing their conception of him. Dr. Bronson explained that the dragon was frequently carried in procession at night, and on these occasions the hollow body was illuminated, so that it was more hideous, if possible, than in the daytime.
THREE:And then saying to Alice, I think you and my slippers have met before! That was fun, was it not? I saw you enjoyed that, Thomas, and{309} when you are pleased, Im sure the joke is good enough for anybody. I wish I had asked Lord and Lady Inverbroom to dine to-night. They would have enjoyed it too, though perhaps he would feel a little shy of meeting you after that snub you gave him and his Club in taking their premises away from them.Both the boys were greatly interested in the various processes of work that were visible on shore. Groups of men were to be seen cutting reeds for fuel, or for the roofs of houses, where they make a warm thatch that keeps out the rain and snow. Other groups were gathering cotton, hemp, millet, and other products of the earth; and at several points there were men with blue hands, who were extracting indigo from the plant which[Pg 346] produces it. The plant is bruised and soaked in water till the coloring-matter is drawn out; the indigo settles to the bottom of the tub, and the water is poured off; and after being dried in the sun, the cake forms the indigo of commerce. In many places there were little stages about thirty feet high, and just large enough at the top for one man, who worked there patiently and alone. Frank could not make out the employment of these men, and neither could Fred. After puzzling awhile over the matter, they referred it to Doctor Bronson.
High quality is being demanded in many fields nowadays and so in order to satisfy that we developed a high-purity distillation system in collaboration with Ube industries, Ltd. and Kanto Chemical Co., Inc. The system is used to refine cleaning solutions for the semiconductor industry, medical materials, etc. of high purity (residual ion concentration: 0.01 to 1.0 ppb).
- Our High-purity distillation system provide our clients with high solvent recovery rate, almost 100%.
- The quality of the products/output from our system is very stable, which makes production management very easy, and easier than the conventional ion exchange resin method.
- No emission of waste brings our clients reduction of running cost for environmental measures.
- Our various devices minimize entrainment.
- To prevent the elution of metal, you could ask us the system made of Teflon.
- Our High-purity distillation system has been already proved for solvents that trigger very rapid decomposition reactions, such as hydrogen peroxide.
