why 1t Becomes White Thro1gh
Pulling and worlx1ag.
You have often wondered and have
even gone SO far perhaps as to ask
your scientifically inclined friend why
candy or taffy made from brown sugar
or even molasses becomes white by
pulling and working. The question Is
not hard one to find an answer for,
provided yon look in the right place.
but it Is ten chances to one that you
have never seen q solution OF the enig-
ma in print.
First, the exposure to the air and the
friction evaporate the strip. which
contains most Of the coloring matter,
and facilitate the oxidation Of the
carbon in the sugar. which Is always
white. Sugar contains eleven atoms
Of oxygen to twelve OF carbon and
eleven Of hydrogen. The strip drained
from this same sugar in the refining
process not only contains more or less
OF coloring matter. but has smaller
proportion Of oxygen to the amount Of
carbon.
StiIl another reason why tafry IL
whitened By the pulling process II be-
cause it Is In effect similar to crush
ing. Pure. clear rock candy, when
crushed. has its powers Of absorbing
light destroyed or greatly impaired, the
pulverixed portions rejecting all the
elementary colors in each ray, which,
Of course. results in the eye receiving
the impression of white light.

Few places In Switzerland are more

heroic legends Of William Tell.
Across the river are two wonderful

or Mill bridge" with its quaint pic

kapellbruecke, or Chapel bridge" This
chapel bridge was constructed as long
ago as 1888 and for nearly 600 years
formed the chief avenue Of trafhc
across the broad but sluggish stream.
Anciently the bridge extended its zig
Tag shape to nearly twice its present
length and reached as far as the Hof-
kirche. OF cathedral, whence its name,
the Chapel bridge.
In the center Of this covered wooden
bridge stands the famous octagonal
Wasserthurm, or water tower, where
in olden times the municipal treasure
was stored. For ages it was also used
as a prison and among the dungeons
as torture chamber
But the most unique feature Of all
consists Of the curious pictures in the
roof Of the bridge. These old pictures
