succeeded in making aluminium soap on the ground of Bean 
Oil, naming it Tontalus after-the Greek mythology. It used

(9) SuBSTITUTE FoR KEROSENE 
The 8.M.R. Co. Central Laboratory has come to see a 
ray of hope for an industrial success in the matter of manu- 
facturing combustible oil as a substitute for kerosene by 
subjecting fatty acid lime to dry distillation. 
In this experiment, Bean Oil has been used as the 
working base. This industry has not yet been raised to an 
economically feasible basis, but since it gives glycerine for 
a by-product, it permits of being raised to a commercially 
negotiable level as a source of liquid fuel in time of need.
