Sugar From Ap of Palms.

Various tropical palms yield a sugary sap which Is employed by the natives for making sugar and "toddy." A summary of informa- tion relating specially to the .Nipa palm from this point of view is given in the Bulletin of the Imperial In stitute. This palm grows in the muddy estuaries of rivers through out the eastern tropics. The juice, which contains about 15 per cent of sugar, is obtained by removing the towering shoots and collecting the sap which escapes. If desired. the juice can be fermented for the pro- duction of alcohol.
 It has been estimated that 2S hundredweight of sugar. or 200 gallons of 95 per cent alcohol, could be ob- tained annually from an acre of swamp land planted with Nipa palms. The tree occurs over extensive areas in British North Borneo, and the au- thorities there are considering the question of utilizing it as source of sugar and alcohol.
