So various and far-reaching, It "Is
expected, will be the results of the
cheapening of alcohol used In the arts
and manufactures by the new law re
moving the Internal revenue tax upon
It that no one man can be found who
cares to estimate or guess at the total
effect or to enumerate all' the lines of
manufacture which will be quickened
by It. _ The law, which provides that
there shall be no tax on such alcohol
when It. Is “denaturized," or mixed
with' a sufficient quantity of other sub
stances to render it unfit for drinking
or for medicinal- purposes, will go
into effect next January, and already
the commercial world Is taking note
of the immense changes which will
follow and getting ready to meet them.
All experts agree that It is the most
far-reaching legislation enacted in
many years.
The alcohol affected by the law,
technically known as ethyl alcohol, ac
cording to the Philadelphia Record,
now costs about $2.50 a gallon, of
which $2.08 is the tax upon it. It
is available for producing heat and
light in all sorts of ways, for var
nishes and solvents and for opera
tions in many trades, but because of
its great cost It has .been excluded
from these uses In this country, and
other things, such as gasoline for
some purposes ui\d wood alcohol for
others, have been substituted for it.
None of the substitutes are as good
or perform the desired function so
well.
Price to Take -Big Drop.
Gasoline is rapidly rising in price
because of the dwindling supply, while
wood alcohol is poisonous, even to
breathe; injurious to the eyes, skin
and general health of those who work
with it, and in many other ways ob
jectionable. Ethyl alcohol may be
made of grain, potatoes, cornstalks,
or, Indeed, any vegetable rich: in
starch, and, though the cost of manu
facture, exclusive! of the tax,' is how
about 40 to 50 cents a gallon, it will
Boon be much reduced because of the
large market which the removal of
the tax will open. Much refuse and
farm produce which now goes to
waste or is allowed to rot can be
manufactured into alcohol when the
demand makes it profitable. Wood
alcohol now costs about 70 cents per
gallon, but even if the ethyl alcohol
should cost that much it would still
supplant wood alcohol because of Its
superiority. Ethyl alcohol now costs,
In Cuba, where there Is no tax, ten
centB a gallon, and experts expect
that the price in this country will soon
drop to that figure, or near It.
While wood alcohol Is now used in
many manufactures where ethyl al
cohol would be better, there are some
operations where the use of the lat
ter is Imperative, despite its cost, so
that the cheapening of It will result
In a better quality in some manufac
tured articles and a lessened cost In
others. Among a large list of manu
factures in which there will enter the
free alcohol, as given by M. N. Kline,
of Philadelphia, at a hearing before
the Committee ‘on Ways and Means
of the National House of Representa
tives when the bill removing the tax
was under consideration are: Aniline
colors and dyes, hats (stiff, silk .and
straw), electrical apparatus, trans
parent soap, furniture, picture mold
ings, burial caskets, cabinet work,
passenger cars, pianos, organs, whips,
toys, rattan goods, lead pencils,
brushes, wagons, boots and shoes,
smokeless powder, fulminate of mer
cury, brass beds, incandescent man
tles, photographic materials,, cellu
loid, sulphuric ether and organlcal
chemicals. In all these there!have
been used heretofore wood alcohol at
about 70 cents a gallon, or ethyl alco
hol at a much greater cost, and now
the ethyl alcohdl will lie used at from
12 to 15 cents a gallon.
Will Affect Heat and Light.
As an example of what the change
will mean, the manufacture of hats
is a good illustration. Alcohol
used for the shellao needed in felt
hats, about half a gallon being the
average used for each dozen of hard
or stiff hats. This,, if wood alcohol,
costs 35 cents, while the free alcohol
will cost not over 8 cents. If ethyl
alcohol, at its present price, be used,
the difference, is cost will exceed $1
per dozen.
Many other examples even more
striking could be dted, but where the
difference resulting from the removal
of the 'tax will be most noticeable to
the individual consumer will be in the
housewife who does her own Interior
deooratlng and renovating will never
know, perhaps, that the lessened cost
paint and varnish stain-removers
due to the removal of this tax; nor
will she realize that the Increased
safety of these materials and the
diminished, danger of fire or of Injury
to health are due to the same cause,
but when she comes to buy alcohol
Instead of gasoline for her lamps and
stoves she will then have placed be
fore her, in a practical way, one of
the striking effects of the new law.
Alcohol lamps for lighting purposes-
have been in. use in Europe with
great success, and may now be used
here (after' next January) at a cost
no greater than that of kerosene, but
with much better results. This lamp
has no wick. The alcohol, heated to
taper after coming from the lamp,
rises to a mantle; whore It burns,
producing a white heat. It is lighted
by a match like any wick lamp, and
in thirty seconds is giving its full Il
lumination. In a test recently made
in this country one gallon of alcohol
burned 68 hours and 52 minutes, giv
ing light of 25 candle-power, while
gallon of kerosene burned 87
hours, giving a light of nine candle-
power. For the sdme amount of light
the alcohol lasted nearly twice as long
thC kerosene; the candle-power
houra baing. 1471 and 788 respectively.
In Belgium alcohol at 31 cents a gal
lon is cheaper for lighting than kero
sene, which sells at 15 cents. All that
is needed, it appears, to use alcohol
In this way is an alcohol burner. Tills
costs about $1 at present and is Inter
changeable with any ordinary kero
sene burner. The use of alcohol does
away with all the smell and dirt so ob
jectionable to kerosene.
Must Change Stoves and Motors.
Alcohol is equally good for heating
as lighting, and this opens the way.
for, many changes In cooking stoves
and In small motors. Germany and
other European countries have had
free and cheap alcohol for some time,
and the alcohol motor is not an ex
periment. Leonard B. Goebels, of
Philadelphia, an expert in all that per
fains to motors driven by the explo
sion of gas, went to Germany recently
investigate this new fuel and
brought back a very favorable report.
It is conceded that for small motors
up to 75 horse-power in which gaso
line is now used in this country alco
hol is much superior. It contains
less number of heat units, but haB a
greater heat, efficiency, while its range
of explosibjlity is about double that
of gasoline. It Is also more homogen
eous and can De used to the last drop,
not leaving much, if any, residue and
npne of the sooty deposit which clogs
the sparker in a gasoline engine and
makes the cleaning of such a machine
a dirty and laborious job. In a num
ber of shop tests made by Mr. Goebels
an average of 20 per cent, more power
was gotten from using alcohol than
from using gasoline in the same-sized
engine.
Even if the cost of alcohol exceeded
gasoline the cleanliness and safety
of it would still make it desirable.
Think of an automobile without an
odor! Alcohol, when it catches on
fire, may be put out with water, but
not a gasoline fire. Exhaustive tests
have shown that whereas gasoline,
at an ordinary temperature, gives off
a vapor which, when mixed with air,
is highly explosive and the cause of
frequent dangerous accidents, no such
vapor comes from alcohol until it is
heated above the ordinary tempera
ture
Alcohol has been used, and with
good results, In engines constructed
for gasoline, but to get the best re
sults a special construction is needed.
This, however, differs but slightly
from the ordinary gasoline engine.
The carburetter and spraying device
would have to be modified, and- the
compression would have to be in.
creased. These alterations are such
that they can be made In a gasoline
engine at a slight expense. Ordinar
ily, an alcohol engine can be manu
factured and sold at the same price
as a gasoline .engine of similar power.
It might be sftpposed that this
cheap denaturlzed alcohol will ontire
ly drive out the wood alcohol Indus
try, but the latter is the principal sub
stance used in denaturizing, and ex
perts are unanimous in declaring that
so much wood alcohol will be thus
used that the demand for it will in
Pay of Lawmakers.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The honor of being electod represen
tative to the congress of the United
States is one which is eagerly sought
after, yet many able men who would
make admirable legislators hesitate to
enter the lists because > the social re
quirements of the position are such ns
to leave but a small margin, if any, of
their $5,000 yearly compensation.
They, however, are far more fortunate
than the legislators of many other
countries.
The Norwegian member of parlia
ment gets less than, $3 a day, nnd If
he takes a day off loses his day’s [fay.
The salne is true of members of the
Swiss diet. They are rewarded about
$4 a day, on condition that they do not
absent themselves from work. Rou-
mania thinks her lawmakers worth $5
a day. Bulgaria Is a trifle less gener
ous. Four dollars a day is the salary
of those who compose the Bulgarian
sobranje; but members who live in the
capital get only $3 daily.

borne a reputation second to none ns
