...carbon (C12H22O11) is the only organic chemical which is manufactured chemically pure on a tonnage basis. Hydrocarbons are easily broken down. Atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, may be taken from them, forming new and different hydrocarbons. Possible uses of sugar are in the manufacture of shoe polish, soap, explosives, fuel, essential oils. Conceivably a vast industrial opportunity lies behind the purity of sugar. The question: Why doesn't industrial chemistry find for sugar other factories than the stomach...
Blau Gas. Used in the trial flight of the ship is a gas fuel weighing no more than air itself. It can be contained in bags and permits the ship to carry a paying load in place of the many tons of gasoline which used to be an essential weight. Furthermore, as its specific gravity is nearly the same as air, its consumption does not necessitate a constant shifting of ballast as in the case when tanks of liquid fuel are being emptied...
During a trial flight of the Count Zeppelin the Blau gas was alternated repeatedly with the ordinary mixture of benzol and gasoline without causing the slightest trouble to the new type Maybach motors, the first time in the history of aerial navigation that a gas had been used as fuel. "Our passengers," said Dr. Eckener, "did not even know that we had been running on gas until I told them...

...England, the rigid airships, R-101 and R-101, each larger than the Count Zeppelin, are awaiting final tests. Within a year they will be put into service between London and Egypt and India. A heavy oil fuel has been developed for their engines. In recent experiments, this fuel was poured on some burning gasoline and actually extinguished...
