siderable good. The drouth is work
ing havoc with other crops.
The enormous strides made in the
industrial development OF Japan dur.
ing recent years are shown by vari-
Gus official publications just given out
by the Japanese government. Among
the imported articles, sugar shows al
most a 100 per cent increase during
the las, year. No sugar is mentioned
among the export items.
The indications are that an cx-
tremely large crop OF sugar cane will
be raised in Louisiana this year. The
weather conditions the past fortnight
have been uncommonly favorable. and
the sugar belt in Louisiana is now re-
cording the most advanced cane crop
in many years. Moderate high tenn
peraturcs and just about enough
showery days to make everything sat
isfactory have sufficcd to do the cane
a world Of good. The planting oper-
ations have all been completed.
During the last sugar campaign in
Russia there were 278 factories work
ing. Estimates declare that the ont
put will be I.2os.oo tons white su-
gar. The calculated excess of pro-
duction over consumption Is ssI.ooo
tons.
New Uses Of Sugar.
Sugar manufacturers in many in
stances. realizing that sugar Is a
strength and muscle producer. allow
rations of sugar to those they employ.
They arc the gamers in the long run.
for even admitting that the men con.
sumo " pound OF sugar per diem. at
given wages they do more work. and
all this is accomplished for about one
cent.
In certain European countries a
new bread Is made out Of wheat -four
to which is added 8 per cen, sugar.
with the customary yeast. The bak-
eordanee with customary methods;
good sugar must be used. The pro.
duct among the working classes OF
Germany is becoming popular.
Owing to the fact that sugar Is very
soluble when introduced into the
stomach gives that organ minimum
work for its assimilation: when the
consumption Is excessive there fol-
lows formation Of fatty substances
which arc stored up.
An explosive combination may be
made by adding liquid air to sugar:
Its use for blasting purposes demands
considerable experience. A mixture
OF sugar and ehioraic Of potash. to
which sulphuric acid Is added. means
violent explosion.

This lubricant is said to have given
very excellent results and. II manu-

When sugar Is heated to r6o deg. c.
tho transparent mass obtained is sold
as sugar candy. II the heating con-
tinues up to 100 deg. c. there is a
burning and tho product is converted
into caramel, when that limit of tcm.

carbon as final substance.
