ARSENIC m BEER.
Remarkable Case Of Poisoning in Eng
land a Warning to Drinkers
in This Country.

TWO years ago an epidemic Of what
but later proved 20 be |ucurijis. ap-
peared in Lancashire and Yorkshire
counties Of England. The deaths
which occurred attracted much atten-
ton. and the government appointed a
commission of experts to determine
the causes. IT was finally traced to the
beer used. The sulphuric acid used in
the preparation OF brewing sugar was
made from pyrites, and this contained
large quantities Of arsenic. Several
large firms which supplied the brew
ers with sulphuric acid and glucose

ly failed. Several analyses made by
chemists Of invert sugar. wB4ch was
used by the brewers, were funds No

gallon Of beer this amount varied from.
one and one-half to three grabs. Be

dried by gas coke. This Was found to
contain arsenic. which was directly
deposited in the malt. Coke was used
Tor this purpose because of its cheap
ness. One OF tho large firms which
had made brewing sugar from pyrites
also ~-aufactured a table syrup from
the same substance. which contained
equally large quantities of arsenic.
Analysis showed one grain to the
pound Of syrup; the whole stock.
amounting to nearly 100 ions of inyert
sugar and syrup from this sourse. was
destroyed. and the firm became bank
rupt. These Developments have turned
the attention OF chemists in this coun-
try to the various beers on the mar
ket, which are found generally dan
serous, although they do not contain
the same quantity Of poison. The
failure OF such d large number of
English brewers has startled the trade
in this country. and extraordinary
care is being used to prevent poisons
from appearing in the beers. Journal

Seedless Apple Story

New York Sun: John f. Spencer
of Grand Junction, Colo. is said to
have at last produced the seedless
apple, which in its way is quite as
wonderful as the pitless plum pro
duced by Luther Burbank, the Cali
fornia wizard of horticulture. Spen-
Ger has labored nearly all of his
working life to produce an apple of
which the small boy could truth
fully say: There amt goin' to be
no core''-nor seeds. either, for that
matter.
Some dozen or so of these new ap-
pies were on exhibition yesterday at
the warerooms of Steinhardt & Kel-
ly. at 101 Park place. The visitors
were not invited to sample the fruit.
for at present it is rare and costly, so
much so. in fact, that three of the
apples sold for 60 at a recent exhi-
bition in London. Just how Spencer
eliminated these seeds is a secret, as
the process cannot be patented. The
seedless apple is of ordinary size. of
yellowish red color and pleasant to
the taste.
