, . The Sugar ".Uaaea.
Scientific American, Augustl8
In a recent number attention was
drawn to the fact thac apparently a
great, in reality a very . radical,
change in the sugar production of the
United States was coming, and that
too without long delay. It is laboratory
work which has - rendered this practica
ble. As in so many instances, mechan
ical skill has availed itself of minute
scientific results, and the grains or
granules of the chemist's test tubes and
balances have become the- predecessors
and originators of the barrels of sugar
from the boiling house and the refinery.
In order that we may see clearly how
this has been done, and to what im
mense results it is about to lead, we
need to look at the two kinds ef sugar
cane with which we have to deal.
Hitherto we have had practically but
one, that known botanically as "Sac
charum fScinarum," and in common
language universally as "sugar cane."
GLUGOSE IN SOUGIIUM.
In searching for the reasons of the
former failure to crystallize sugar from
sorgum syrup, we find ourselves brought
directly down to the chemical distinc
tions between glucose and sucrose,
known in common language as grape
sugar and cane sugar. . A.id with tue
difference In their composition we must
meet also the different relations they
sustain to the laws and the force of
crystallisation. We have long been
familiar with the factthat cane sugar
crystallizes readily, but that grape su
gar in its ordinary states will not crys
tallize at all. We have also known that
sorghum syrup was in chief part a so
lutien of glucose in water, and that
because ef the presence of this uncrys-
tallizable sugar we failed to obtain any
crystals, though wo were well aware
that sucrose was also present. This
may be fairly stated as about the ex
tent of our practical knowledge, three
ml m -lilt
years ago. The tact remained mac no
one could tell what a given lot of sor.

Died, August 20th, 1883, at his
home in Looking-glas3, Douglas county,
Oregon, In his 63rd year, John W.
Warren.
Mr. Warren was born in Robinson
county, Tennesee, and in the year 1851
moved to South Missouri; in 1856 he
visi-ed Texas, returning again to Mis
souri in lcoy. lie served in the
Northern army and was honorably dis
charged in 1863.
Mr. Warren's disease was of a very
painful nature, and he suffered acutely
for several days before his death. He
was satisfied ho could not recover, and
therefore wisely settled up all worldly
mptttrs. Ilia end was peaceful and his
final leave-taking with his family was
affecting in the extreme. He; died
surrounded by his family and many
friends.
Though we humbly bow to the Divine
Will, we cannot but mourn tl e loss
we have sustained, and to offer our
heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved fam
ily. Our social circle, too, has lost one
of its brightest members; tho kindly
clasp of his honest hand; the genial wel
come to h's hospitable home; the pleas

quaint storied and original ideas gath
ered during his checkered life, wei'e. al
ways ready to entertain those who
chanced to sojourn with him; his kindly
heart was ever ready to sympathize
'with and succor the distressed.
And now he has left us we feel his
loss mere deeply than our pen can ex
press, sympathizing with his bereaved
family in theii greac loss, .and hoping
that God will protect and comfort them
and with His loving kindness watch
and ffuard tbeir future life. J. A. H.

Letter List.
The following letters remain in thi3 oSce and un
called for on i the 31st day of August, 1333. Persons
calling for the same will pleasa say "advertised:
be grown to a large extent But now
comes in the laboratory work to which
reference has been made. It is not too
much to say that now we kow the
causes of the caprciuus f eatur es shown
by the sorghum juice, and that know-
ins: the evil we can avoid it. It is
not too much to say that a crop of sor
ghum in the field can be as safely calcu
lated en to yield its full quota of sugar
of first quality as can a crop of sac-r
charum, and still further that acre for
aero its best varieties will yield fully
as much sugar as is obtained from the
ribbon cane in Louisiana. The chem
ical points which establish this belief
we will consider at another time, speak
ing now only of the results.
The future sugar of the United States
therefore viewed in this light will ba
for us nationally a new item. We
have imported annualy jt least 1,700,-
000,000 pounds, or more than liine
tenths of our consumption. That we
can produce 2,000,000,000, or whatever
more may be needed, is certain. Why
should we hot become exporters instead
of importers 1 We should interfere
with no crop now cultivated, as-we
propose presently to show. And all
this can be accomplished were it de
sirable (which it certainly is not) to
encroach no further on the vast exter.t
of domain not yet brought under hu
man use. The corn bands from Ohio
to Nebraska and from Kentucky to
Minnesota can do it all, and
yet feed the hungry as they do
sugar cane, and will do it as surely and
as readily. If this were absolutely
true, we should have the key of the -situation
in our hands, but our sugar is
not yet certain, though fortunately we
are able to make it so. Sorghum juice
is not sugar cane juice. It is unstable
in its chemical character. Its sucrose
though so largely in the ascendancy,
has a strangely perverse tendency to
take to itself another equivalent of
HOg and thus become at once jfjucose,
Unless this tendency is arrested every
grain of available sugar may have dis
appeared, acd probably will, within 24
hours from the commencement of the
change, that is, from the time of the
cutting of the sorghum. The transfor
mation can be prevented by the use of
lime, but practically this is best done
by boiling.
Here then is the mystery laid bare;
the key is now fairly in oar hand a
Perfect maturity of the cane, and
prompt boiling of the juice; these are
tire two essential points. With them
success is sure; without them we may
expect failure; we shall have a glucose
syrup and nothing else. Nor are these
assertions made at random. Dr. Collier
proved in the laboratory, it is true, the
points which we have here seen, aifu it
is scarcely possible to award to him too
great credit for his skill and the truly
practical results at which he arrived.
But we can now go beyond him, to that
which his researches have secured in
actual field work. Sugar from sorghum
