RUBBER FROM
RYE WHISKEY
Russian Chemist Invents Pro
cess Which Will Enable the
Utilization Of the Millions of
Buckets of Vodka, Which no
One May Drink.

4
Russia has discovered how to make
artificial rubber and at the same time
how to make use of the alcohol stor-
ed throughout the Empire. BY a
marvellous scientific discovery, two of
the most serious problems facing the
Empire-that Of securing rubber
cheap1y and that of disposing of the
vodka, are solved in a simple and
practical manner.
Since the issuing of the Imperial
Ukase, which made prohibition uni
versal throughout the country; the
authorities of every local government
have been confronted by the perplex-
ing problem of disposing of the vodka
and ether alcoholic spirits in their
possession. In every, local govern
ment or Zebstvo, meetings have been
held and this serious situation dis
eussed. It was found that there
were at least seventy million buckets
t14O,0O0,0O0 gallons) of spirit. wait
ing for decision as to their dispo-
come from the most unexpected quar-
tiers.
The Ministry of Finance, since the
passing of the prohibition bill. has
had a special department devoted to
the study of the disposal of alcohol
throughout Russia, and it was this
department which made careful in
yestigations of the many experiments
conducted for the purpose of deter
mining the possibilities of converting
alcohol into industrial, products. Some
of these, such as the making of var
n:shes, etc, may still be carried on,
but these sink into significance as
compared with the new discovery.

thousand barrels compared with 3d.
915 thousand barrels in 1914 12,O00,-
600 barrels in 1909 and $500 thou
sand barrels in 1904. Since the pro-
duction of crude oil has not advance
ed in anything like this proportion,
and assuming that the above produc-
ton of gasoline is more than justi-
fed by the increasing consumptio on,
we may find here some reason for re-
cent advances in the price of gaso-
line.
Domestic consumption of cotton in
January aggregated 542 Thousand
bales compared with 468 thousand
bales in January of last year. Ex-
ports of cotton during January were
$50 thousand bales as against 1872
thousand bales in January, 1915,
while imports were 81 thousand bales
compared with 80 thousand bales a
year ago Stocks of cotton in man
ufacturing Establishments on Janu-
airy 81, tota1ed 1875 thousand bales
against 1,516 thousand bales year
previous and stocks in public stor-
age and at congresses were 4,546
thousand bales compared with 1866
thousand bales on January 81, 1915.
There were 31,842 thousand spindles
active during January compared with
3O,556 thousand active during jan
uary of last year.
The trend of commodity prices and
of wages has been strongly upward
for some time, the increases already

Of living of the people of this coun-
try. That this increase cannot go
on indefinitely is clear.
In spite of hundreds of voluntary
wage increases, shortening of labor
hours and improvements in working
conditions, numerous demands of
large labor organizations are still
pending, notably that of the organ
izations Nof railroad men. The pres
ent demands on the railroads made
by more than 800 thousand employees
would represent a large outlay an
nual1y and it is hoped that some
middle ground for a fair and salts

prosperity record for the country

One of the greatest problems of all
European nations has been the obtain
ing of rubber, especially for war au-
tomcbiIe tires, so it was with more
keen interests that experts, attached to
the special department, heard of the
inv estigat- ons. conducted by the IA
nous chemist, Ostr omiss1ensky, Of
Moscow, in the making of rubber
with the aid of alcohol Upon care
full examination, it was found, not only
that his experiments were absolutely
successful, but that the rubber could
be manufactured from certain vege-
ia bic oils, such as hemp seed oil and
rope seed oil, and that the vodka
could be used to procure the lprge
amount Of alcohol needed as solvent
in the process.
The department of Finance, keen1y
alive tc the possibilities in this won
derfu1 discovery, which not only
solves the problem of the disposal of
spirit, but also relieves the famine
in rubber, has decided to begin the
process, as soon as satisfactory ar
rangements can be made with the in
ventor An experimental factory
next to one of the many wine ware
houses is now in course of construc-
ton.
Synthetic or artificial rubber has
been a dream of chemists for many
years, as the demands upon the natu-
ral article have been enormous, both
for the automobile and electrical in
dustries. 1t has never been deemed
successful Six months ago, it was
announced in Germany that a syn
thetic rubber had been produced, and
while it was of poorer grade, still
could be used. The details of the
Russian process have not been made
public, but it is one of the variations
of the production made by the oxydi-
zation or blowing of heavy vege-
table oils. The reports from the Mos
COW chemist show a rubber equal, if
not superior to the natural article.
