SUGAR FROM INDIAN CoRN AND OH OF
vIrRIoL.-A patent has been granted a.
Washington for process Of making sugar
out Of corn, which, though familiar to oil
chemists, is doubtless novel TO most Of our
readers. A quantity OF corn meal 10 pla-
ced in boiler, to which is added nearly
nm equal quantity, by measure, Of water,
together with small proportion OF com.
mon oil Of vitriol, or sulphuric acid. The
mixture is then boiled a, very high tenn.
perature, when common brown sugar is
produced, held in solution, of course with
the acid. A quantity Of common chalk is
now thrown in which has the effect to re-
move the vitriol from the sugar, the yitriol
uniting to and falling with il as sediment
10 the bottom Of the boiler. The liquid gu
gar is then drained oil into another vessel
and clarified in the usual manner. We
imagine that an operating apparatus pia-
cod in the Worlds Fair, and turning on,
Jumps Of sugar made Of corn and vitriol,
would have made the 'rest OF mankind
conclude that the Yankees had compact
with the witches, or some other supernatu-
raj power. The patentee Of this process is
Mr.. George Riley Of this city.
Sugar may be produced in the same
tanner, from common starch, corn stalks
and other fihrous substances. The process
affords fine example Of what chemists call
catalysis. Though sugar is produced, yet
the nature and strength Of the vitriol is no,
a whit altered, neither is the original guam
Iity diminished. The same vitriol would,
the resore, suffice 10 convert an indefinite
amount Of meal into sugar.--N. Y. Sun.
Shouldn't like to use that sugar for fear
they would forget TO take out the chalk.
