by him, which in recent years has greatly advanced

SABATIER, PAUL, professor at the University of Tou- 
louse, born 1854; “for this method of hydrogenating 
organic compounds in the presence of finely dis- 
integrated metals, whereby the progress of organic 
chemistry has been greatly advanced in recent
