ACID FOR MAKING SUGAR..

a Curious Process Which Has Met With
Some Success In Franco.
A very novel method of making sug-
ar has been patented in France by NJ.
Pel1egrini. Sugar is chemically com
pound Of carbon. oxygen and hydrogen
In suoh proportions that if oarbonic
acid, water and certain kinds Of illumi-
mating gas could be persuaded to unite
In the proper quantities tho composition
Of sugar would DO exactly initiated.
Hitherto no ono has been ablo to mako
sugar by mixing water with two kinds
of gas, but NJ. Pellegrini claims to have
succeeded The apparatus he uses con-
sists Of large block of pumico stone,
cleansed by soaking first in sulphurio
acid and then i'll water, which is set in
Oil iron box plated with nickel inside.
The length of the box. is three times
that of the pumioo Stone block, which
is tightly fitted in tho middle, and pipes
arc arranged to convey the ingredients
to the empty ends of the box, as requir-
cd. Two of them enter from tho sides
and servo to bring carbonio acid and
hydrocarbon gas, while another Pipe
from above branches so as to reach both
empty portions Of tho box and conveys
steam All tho pipes arc fitted with
valve and pressure gauges.
Another Pipe at tho bottom of the
box serves rs an outlet. At first this
pipe is closed, as is also the steam pipe
from above, and carbonic acid is forced
into one end of the box, while ethylene
gas is forced into the other under equal
pressure and i'll equal volumes. A few
minutes later tho steam valve above is
opened and the steam forced in under
the Same pressure. AS the gases unite
tho pressure falls, SO that the supply of
each must bo kept constant At tho end
Of half an hour the supply of gas is shut
off, tho outlet pipe is opened, and one of
the chambers is found to be filled with
sirup containing 20 per cent of sugar
Tho sirup is drawn off for refining,
and as soon as the apparatus is cool it
is ready for fresh charge. The ethy-
lene gas can be obtained by roasting
rosin or grease, but NJ. Pellegrini s pat
emit covers other hydrocarbons such as
petroleum products Tho explanation is
that the three gases are condensed in
tho pores of the pumice stone and there
unite. -American Architect.

THE GRAPEVINE SWING.

Blithely whistling. with agile swing,
Leaps the farmers boyto the grapevine swing.
To and fro. high and low,
Up where the winds the branches blow,
Flying down to lightly pass
Where bare feet ripple tho blue Dyed grnsa.
Up again in the sunshine free,
Back, In the shade of tho maple tree,
Spurning the ground with supple foot
At tho we'll worn spot at tho naples root.
Higher; tho branches strike his breast,
There arc tlirco blue eggs In the robins ncsts
Dropping, dropping, swiftly down,
With II flying glimpse of tho distant town,
Back and forth in tho noontide glow,
Swinging slower and still moro slow,
Idly rocking in sun pierced gloom
To tremulous pause in the vine's perfume.
Springing at length where the grasses yield,
he follows the men to the haying field.
