Denatured Alcohol.


Boston Transcript.
Since last spring Professor c.. E.
Lnete, of Columbia University, and
S. NJ. Woodward. n government irriga.
ton engineer, have been conducting a
series OF experiments TO test the COM
parat!ve efficiency Of lenatured alco.
hol and sasolene as fuels In automo.
bile and power boat engines. Accord.
Ing 10 their conclusions, alcohol may
not only be substituted for gasolene
in the ordinary type of engine, but
is in mos. respects superior to either
gasolene ortkerosene us fuel. One
of the chief advantages is that It will
run the engine at high maximum,
power and with less noise, though a
larger quantity is required to perform
the same amount Of work. The state
ment Is made that for automobile air
cooled engines alcohol is particularly
well adapted, inasmpch as the. temper
ature of the engine may rise much
higher before Ignition takes place,
than Is possible with gasolene fuel,
