which are worked by the Societe de la vi

was agreed upon on every point save rs re-

On account of the rise of water in the
river. the work on the new dam at Madi-
son Blidge is stopped. 1t would have
taken but four or five days more to have
finished it. 1t is doubtful If any more
can be done on it this fall.

length from four inches to foot. With
shovel they took from space not more
than two by three feet and perhaps TWEEN

Mr.. Gladstone publishes letter invit-
ing the Liberalists to reunite, He says :;
After reading the Marquis of Salisbury y
speech it seems to me that we have ar
rived at the testing situation for all Lib
erals really desiring Liberal union We
have n right to demand when the Gov
ernment have produced their plans, that
they shall pursue an altered course upon
them, hut we have already tolerated a
long delay in the production of those
plans. The beginning of new delays in
February will virtually be making indef-
mite the production of the plans. ! am
unable to understand how anybody pro-
noting or inviting such delay can be said
to desire the reunion of the Liberal par
ty."

Maine Experiment. Station.

Early In June of the present year, three
samples of molaSSes were sent to the Sta
ton by a merchant doing business in
Maine. with the request that they be ex-
amined for the presence of tin. Tin WAS
found in appreciable quantity in two of
the three samples. Later five more
samples of molasses have been collected
in this State, in four of which tin wa
found. This indicates that tin exists in
molases quite generally at the present
time. The claim is made that tin Is intro
duced into molasses in the form of the
chloride (muriate), the object of its use
being to tighten the color of the molasses
and thus improve fits appearance. 1t is
also stated that portion or all of the tin
thus introduced separates from the mo-
lasses, the completeness of this separa-
ton vary ing greatly in different cases
without doubt. That which remains in
solution does not seem to be enough to
produce immediate poisonous effects, al
though it is possible that the continuous
presence of tin in human food might
prove to be injurious to health. Three
grains of chloride of tin are sufficient
quantity to act violently upon the organs
of digestion, but even If we were sure
that all the tin in molasses remains in the
form OF the chloride, person would De
obliged to eat large quantity OF molas-
es at one time in order to poison himself
At the same time it is undoubtedly safer
and wiser to eat molasses free from tin,
and so it is considered that the presence
of this metal in one of our common arti-
cles of food is a matter of some public
interest.
The sugar of molasses consists of two
forms, at least, viz Sucrose, or the ordi-
nary graduated sugar, and glucose, dr.
iculty crystallizable sugar not nearly as
sweet as sucrose. The sweetening pow
er of molasses is diminished by increas-
ing the glucose at the expense of the sue
rose, which would be the case whenever
moasses is aduterated with glucose
syrup. Determinations of the sucrose
and glucose were made in the above
mentioned samples, and the percentages
obtained are given in the following table

The quarrel between the Cumberland
County Commissioners and the Sheriff as
to who had right to appoint the over
seer of the Jail workshop is practically
settled fhe prison inspectors were in
conference with the officers, Friday morn
ing. They are of the opinion that the Com
mssioners have the right to appoint the
overseer, but the Sheriff has the right to
appoint keeper who shall be responsible
to him for the safety of the prisoners
while they are in the workshop Repairs
are needed on the workshop and they will
be made between now and January lst
when the new Sheriff and board of County
Commissioners come in. Meanwhile the
prisoners will not work.

1t does not appear that any of the sam
pies analysed contained very much more
glucose than is attributed to unadulterat-
d molasses, the total percentages for
sugar being very nearly the same that are
usually found.
Two or three observations in connec-
ton with these analyses may be OF inter-
est.
%. The color of molases seems to
have no relation to the amount OF sugar

sweetening power, or food value. Inc
dark brands of molasses are usually
cheaper than the light, so that 1t Is econ
omy to use the former where the effect OF
