| To turn sawdust into sugar Is one OF
| the problems upon which science is
now engaged. In fact sawdust has al
ready been turned into sugar, only this
sugar is not the ordinary table variety
that, could it only be produced eco
nonrically and on large scale from the
mountains Of sawdust that yearly ac-
| cunaulate in American lumber yards,
would make the fortune OF whoever in
| has only proved that grape sugar-a
variety such as Is found In many fruits
and may be seen and tasted crystalized
naturally on the surface Of dried grapes
-..an be made from sawdust by pro-
cess altogether too costly to have a
practical commercial value. To trans
form this grape sugar into the vastly
more profitable table necessity now de-
rived from cane and beets is generally
admitted to present insuperable obsta-
cles.
