PETROLEUM MADE
into A PERFUME
Oil Now Converted Into Altar Of
Roses by English
Chemist.

Londcn, July 13-Peter NJ Short, an
English chemist, has made an invention,
which ought to gladden. the heart OF
John d. Rockefeller. for he has sue
ceeded in manufacturing from svil-smell-
ing petroleum an essence which Is said to
be perfect substitute for the most pre-
cious OF all perfumes-altar Of roses, the
wholesale value OF which Is about cents
a drop.
Mr.. Short admits that he made his dis
covery quite accidentally. He has for
several years past been carrying out
experiments with liquid air. One OF these
experiments was TO produce q candle
from paraffin by freezing it No known
natural temperature-even those which
DR.. Cook experienced in imagination-will
proximately 20 degrees below zero. which
can easily be attained by means OF liquid
air. parafin becomes solid
Mr.. Short found that in his expert
ments certain free agents remained float
ing at the top. These he proceeded to
and after four years OF con-
stant experiments he produced this syn
thetic product which initiates altar OF
roses.
