Experiment proves that dry lime. mixed
with the molasses. combined with the SUI
gar. formed a product insolubls in water.
Washing the molasses would then separate
this product from all tho other elements.
The lime and sugar product being heated
with carbonic acid. the lime combined with
the carbon. forming an indissoluble product
and leaving the sugar free to be easily sep
arated. BY this process to-day 90 per cent
of the sugar 10 recovered from the beet
molasses. and there II practically no mo-
lasses in the beet sugar factories
In the manufacture OF cane sugar the mo-

is no use for the process adopted in beet
sugar making. but there = less weight OF
sugar In the molasses than there was for
merly. This fact. and the fact that the mo-
lasses II now made In vacuum pans and can
not be burned or thickened A. Il was In the
old-fashioned open pans. accounts for the
fact that there are no more black molasses
and no more black gingerbread such a.
