fuel. Whether it could be used for
other purposes does not appear, but
there seem to be other possibilities for
it.
After the inventor had exhibited a
sample of the solidified alcohol to a
Sun reporter and explained it's uses, he
offered to prove the character of the
compound In a practical way by maxi
ing some of it for the reporter If the
reporter would go to his workshop in
Newark and take with him his own
supply OF alcohol. The only stipula-
tion made was that the alcohol should
be at least 95 per cent in strength, as
the presence OF water would prevent
the success of the process. The re-
porter accepted the proposition. and
went to Newark, taking with him
half-pint whiskey flask, filled with %
per cent. wood alcohol.
The inventor measured out the alco-
hol, and then for every two ounces of
it. added to it slice of a waxy COM
pound shaped like a piece Of pie, and
cut from a box the size and shape of "A
stove backing box. Each slice of this
compound was about an inch wide at
the circumference of the box, half an
'AANii SAAiSNp anu bllG anu OIlt-IlulI lHCnpS
long What this was composed of is
the inventors secret. 1t felt waxy,
and was light and porous, and from
its smell had evidently been prepared
with wood alcohol.
The alcohol and this compound were
heated together in a water bath until
the alcohol boiled, and at that temper
ature the compound in it melted and
Inn .,l 1
except for a pink colorlng which was
an arbitrary addition to the waxy
compound. The mixture was now set
to cool, and in a short time it became
a stiff paste.
1t is in this form that the inventor
purposes to put it on the market. AL
though it smells strongly of the al
cohol, the mixture seems to be stable,
and samples which were put up in
| two-ounce tin boxes three months ago
have lost little by evaporation. If a
lighted match is touched to the alcohol
| paste it melts on the surface and takes
fire, burning freely with the charac-
| teristc blue alcohol flame, only with
a tinge of yellow added at the outer
| part. Burning freely in the box and
| giving a flame big enough to heat a
| chatting dish, two-ounce box of paste
| kept lighted for about two hours.
| where the same alcohol in a liquid form
would have burned out in ten minutes.
Many uses for the new paste will oc-
| cur to the reader. Alcohol is one of
the most desirable of fuels for many
purposes, and in form where it can
be transported without danger OF its
! leaking or spilling would have an added
value for hunting and canoeing trips
and for exploring expeditions. Instead
| of a can of the fluid, my lady can
have boxes of the paste TO light under
her chafing dish or to heat a curling
iron, and man can use it to heat
shaving water or to made a tOddy, If
| the mixture be heated to a melting
point and then kept in agitation while
| it cools. it does not harden, but the
hardening compound separates and Is
| held in suspension. In this state the
| liquid alcohol might be recovered, and
| this suggests other uses for the com
| pound.
