Extra Officers Released
Beet Sugar Due to Napoleon

From the Milwaukee sentinel.
When the fleets of Great Britain block
AIDED all the ports of Continental Eu-
rope, during the Napoleonic wars, Europe
was cut off from its supply of sugar. 1t
became necessary to find substitute.
Before the discovery of America sugar
was unknown, and honey was the uni
versal sweetening. But the supply of
honey was not equal to the demand now.
I'm some countries. as in Bohemia. !"
writes Charles A. Browne, in the Scien-
tific American, they made sugar from
the maple; in other countries they crys-
talized dextrose from the juice of tue
grape. but these sources were Inadequate.
The final outcome of the matter was
the birth of the beet sugar industry. 1t
was 100 years ago, in 1910, that the first
loaf of beet sugar was made and pre-
scented to Napoleon; and the centenary of
this event has just been celebrated in
France.
1t is doubtful II the beet sugar industry
could have made much progress had an
important piece of apparatus, the polar
scope, not been invented about this time.
The polariscope offered quick and rapid
method for determining the amount of
sugar in beets."
