Kekulé 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

has deduced from it that Kekulé was morally guilty of the crime of
OEdipus as well as minor misdemeanors.
