It has been found that when methane is subjected to tempera- tures of 1800 to 2200 degrees Fah- renheit it breaks up or ‘“cracks.’ At slightly lower temperatures the parts reunite, but form new products as they combine. The higher hydrocarbon gases also break up and reunite to give various products different from the parent substances. At sufficiently high temperatures the gases will decomppse to carbon and hydrogen. Other gases formed in the de- composition of natural gas ars acetylene, butadiene, ethylene, pro- pylene, and butylene, all of whicn «ave considerable commercial use —t WHEN YOU MOW YOUR LAWN The lawnmowers we carry have high, over- size wheels, ball-bear- ings, self sharpening blades and cutter bar, an easily adjustable roller, and other fea- tures that are neces- sary for smooth and easy cutting of grass.

The lifeless body of the heir to the famous Cleveland family’s ore millions, was found lying on the floor of his magnificently-equipped chemical laboratory. On a nearby table stood two glasses. One was filled with water and the other with cyanide potas- sium. Whether Andrews drank the poison accidentally or intentionally may never be known. Thus Andrews, at 35, dies {strangely as he lived. People like him exist more often in the pages of fantastic novels than in real and scarred with tragedy. Andrews was the son of the late Matthew ' Andrews, of Cleveland, and inherited several of the mil- lions his family made in Middle- Western mines. Andrews, a 22-year-old graduate, created a nine-days-stir when he eloped with Mrs. Alma Hayne, daughter of Crown Prince Rudolph, and his morganatic wife, Baroness Marie Vetsera, who had killed them selves during 1899 in a suicide pact. Andrews had met the princess through a letter from his fiancee, Miss Elizabeth Strang, of Cleve- land. A few days after the prin- cess and Andrews were married they sailed for Europe where the young millionaire-to-be was sent the parental blessing. A few months later after amaz- ing London by the way he threw ten-pound notes to bellboys and waiters, Andrews returned to America alone. Without making any explanation of the estrangement with his blue- blooded bride, Andrews went out to his father's mines in Minnesota to :scek seclusion. ‘The princess came back to Amer- ica later, her arms and neck cov- ered with jewels. She spent money even more recklessly than her hus- band had. 1In 1919, several years after she and Andrews had been divorced, the princess committed suicide by drinking poison at the Second Victory Ball at London.

He settled down to devote himself to experi- ments in chemistry in the enormous laboratories he had built there. Of late he had been working on tele- vision and attempting to make syn- thetic coal. Three years ago, Ann Woollet, a chorus girl, sued Andrews for $22- 000, claiming that he agreed to pay her $500 a,week to act as his com- panion and nurse, because his wife was considering getting a Paris di- vorce. She said Andrews promised to pay her $24,000 in all, but had only made four deposits of $500 and then quit. Mrs. Hilah Reeder Andrews, his wife, accompanied his body to Cleveland for interment. — .- SOVIETS TO MAKE RUBBER OUT OF PETROLEUM WASTE ‘WASHINGTON, July 16.—Soviet scientists have announced discov- ery of a new process for the syn- thetic production of rubber, em- ploying petroleum residues as raw material.
