NEW OBSERVATIONS ON CANE.
,JUTCE.

The Island of MdurItlus, that ancient
French Colony, which the mi>fortunrs ct
war in 1915, threw under the dominion
Of Great Britain, is one of the most flour
ishing sugar colonies in thu world. The
contrast Is great between this Colony aud
her sister island Reunion, more extensive
but less prosperous; and whose embar,
raSsrd position if it were due TO causes
purely political, would leave the first
named of these islands little cause to re-
greet the loss of lis nationality. Mauri-
thus, thanks to the neighbOurhood of
India, and to the freedom of her institu-
tions, has been able TO supply the place of
these hands who were suddenly struck
away from her fields, and now counts
scarcely less than 100000 Coolies while
Reunion has only about So 900. Besides
Mauritius his q seaport, and railroads,
and enjoys complete commercial liberty /;
these. causes suffice TO explain her pros
perily.
One of her most distinguished inhabit-
ants NJ. Ictry, a Physician and PreSiden;
of the Chamber of Agriculture, after pa
tent and scientific researches into the
composition of cAnejuice, has just pub
lished his observations III a pamphlet
which is creating a great sensation in
Paris, in consequence Of lis ovrrthrowing
the principles Iaid down by NJ. P6Ilgot,
hitherto accepted, irrevers'hIe.
Doctor Icery has gone over the inter-
esting experiments of Peligot Oh cane
juice and his opinion is that if that phi
~losopher instead of experimenting in
France. solely on the juice of ripe canes,
had extended his researches in the colo
MES themselves upon juices extracted
from the plant at different periods of its
developement, he would have arrived at
several conclusions different from those
actually laid down in his memoir. Ac-
cording to Doctor Icery, canejuice does
not contain solely cryslaliz4bIe sugar as
at present believed; but it contains un-
crystaiizable sugar also and the quaint
ty of this latter substance varies 10 differ
emit siages'ofsits deveIopement. In sup
port of this assertion>he supplies the re-

AS 10 the cane itself, the mean Of the
analyses of NJ. Icery in IS kinds of cane
completely developed gives the follow
ing results Water 0 697, Sugar O 1913.
Fibre O 1O5.
Such are the results of analyses, &C.
cnrding to the experiments of lcery, look
ed al with reference to the reformation
of uncrys'aIlizAbIe sugar and to the ma
ture of the can"iuice relatively to the
other different substances whose exist
ence in the liquor is ascertained and ex-
hibited.
When the sugar cane of whatever spe.
cirs it may be and on whatever soil it
NAV be grown, has attained after regular
vegetation IA perfect maturity, 1t contains
at least from the first knots of the stole
TO those just beneath the green leaves
yet adherlng to the top almost only crys-
talized sugar. But that part yet enve-
Topped with green leaves, and thus shell
tered from the actions of the suns rays,
Contains on the contrary a quantity which
varies from ] to 6 in weight Of uncryStaI-
izthIe sugar. The younger the cane is,
the more in general is the uncrystalizable
sugar coptathed in il. In moist situations
where the cane never ripens and is con-
stanlIy in uncrytaIizabIe sugar exists vi
gorOu> growth always in every part of
the plant and sometimes in considerable
quantity. AS to the organic substances
other than sugar, i. is always in the head
or top of it that we find them in tho
largest proportion. The mineral sub
stances, whose presence depends chiefly
on the natur of the soil, are also met
with in greatest proportion in The upper
part or head Of the plant. The fixed
mineral malte contained in zane iuic is
composed principally Of potash, soda,
lime, oxyde of iron, silica, alumina, mag
Meta, and aciIs in combination with the
bases above mentioned.
Next to the celebrated report Of NJ.
PrIjgot, published in 1842-a report
which as is well known, made a curious
revelation in bringing to our notice the
immense resources at the disposal of
colonial industry and at the same time
the little profit which has as yet been
derived from them,-ihe work of Nj.
Icery seems to be the most complete
which has yet appeared. His thesis is
not the same as that of the learned chem
ist whom we have cited above /; one might
say that NJ. Icery pleads extenuating cir
cumstances since he shews to US in cane
juice a crowd of changes and modifca-
lions which the somewhat absolute
analysis of M. Peligot had not admitted,
hut it is precisely this which cons.i-
tutes its value, and which should recon-
mend lis peru$aI to practical men, who
will fnd in it the true reason why we
are yet so far from having attained the
result of those theoretical promises SO
highly seductive, which exhibit canejuiua
to US as 8 simple mixture of water and of
sugar, that we have only, so to speak, to
evaporate and to cookies AatiNes.
