|. ga new substance, invented in France, and
known as apparatine, has gwen very asatiefac
tory results an agent for preventing lncrusta-
ton in boilers. 1t is described colorless and
transparent material, obtained by treating
starch fecula, farina, or any similar substance,
with a caustic alkall. 1t has been found to be
best made with potato starch, treated with I've
most effective proportions
"Fifteen parts of potato starch are put into
every seventy-sx parts OF water and kept IN
state of suspension by stirring when eight parts
potash or soda I've at twenty egrees Beaume are
added, and the whole thoroughly mixed. In
few seconds the mixture denly clears and
forms thick jelly, which is then beaten up
vigorously, and the longer the operation is con-
tinued the better the quality Of the apparatine.
II is in this state a colorless, transparent sub
stance, slightly alkaline to the taste, but devoid
of SMELL and of a stringy, glue-like coDsstence.
If exposed the air, it dries slowly, but without
decomposing and even when heated to dryness,
although it thickens and swels, it continues as
unchanged as when air-dred. 1t resembles horn
when dried in thin sheets, but is much more f1ex-
ible.
