Cocoauut OH in Sugar Making.

In the West Indies much interest is
felt in an alleged successful use Of cocoa
nut oil. in a prominent factory on the
west coast, as a new sugar making agent.
Ii is claimed that its addition TO the pan
prior 10 striking, at the rate. it is under
stood, OF about a pint TO the ton, pro-
duces an enormously increased return Of
sugar from the massecuite. Abnormnlly
high figures have been given for the in-
crease, but The Colonies and India says:
after making every allowance for un-
intentional eXasgeration and want 81
true experimental conditions. it would
appear that advantage really accrues
from its use. As no chemical action
would be likely 90 occur, this advantage
probably lies in the ability 70 concentrate
the massecuite further than under ordin.
ary conditions. the lubricating influence
Of the oil facilitating the striking Of the
pan, and preventing too tumultuous boil
ing at the finish. Nothing is heard Of IL
use in making yellow sugar, and expert
ence will have to show how far thecolor
taste and smell Of the sugar will be in
nuenced by il. n-English Mechanic.
