The largest chemical laboratories of the
company are located at Whiting and the
chief chemist, DR.. r. e. Humphreys, was
interviewed. He seemed very willing &c
talk, now that there was no necessity for
further concealment, but the chemical. Ian
guage used was such as to try the stoutest
reportorial heart. From gllmmers capable
of comprehension here and there II was
learned that the various processes had been
fully worked out and that the new con-
struction at Whiting was for the purpose
Of converting the petroleum into so-called
wood and grain alcohols, acetic acid and
butter.
The process to be followed is to pass
heavy oils of no use for illuminants
through red hot tubes in order to decom-
pose them into the fixed gases, menthone
and ethone. These are easily converted
into mothye and ethye alcohols and thence
into acetic and other acids of the fatty
series. These fatty acids are then trans
ferred into glyceral esters or fats by heat
ing with glycerine. BY combining these
fats in the proper proportion a true pure
and fine butter is made,
