been erecting at Whiting, Ind.. a mysteri
ous plant, which, when completed, will
cost, it is said, over $1,250,000.
There have been many rumors aa to the
object of this great construction, but the
officials have been very loth to talk and
even when pressed would not admit that
it was for any other than refining pur
poses. So Interest was greater. when Now
York dailies announced that the company
was to go Into the manufacture of butter.
The largest chemical laboratories of tht
company are located at Whiting and the
chief chemist, Dr. R. E. Humphreys, was
Interviewed. He seemed very willing tc
talk, now that there was no necessity for
further concealment, but the chemical lan
guage used was such as to try the stoutest
reportorlal heart. From glimmers capable
of comprehension here and there It wan
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, acetlo acid and
butter.
The process to be followed is to pass
heavy oils of no use for lllumlnants
through red hot tubes in order to decom
pose them into the fixed gases, menthnne
and ethone. These are easily converted
into mothye and ethye alcohols and thence
Into acetlo 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.
