David Lee Child, who established
the first beet sugar factory in the
United States at Northampton, in
an early book describes his method
as follows: First the beets were
scrubbed thoroughly with a birch
broom and then macerated over a
rasp. The pulp thus obtained was
dried in film and pulverized about
as fine as ground coffee. The syrup
was boiled and filtered a number of
times, and when sugar crystals be-
gan to form it was turned into
moulds resembling the upturned
crown of a sombrero. Here with
sugar was allowed to drain and drv
for a number of days and then f.

Artificial pearls are usually solid
spheres Of "alabaster" glass coated
with lacquers containing pearl es-
sence, obtained in this country from
the scales of herring. Each scale
contains tiny crystals of "guanine, -
which appear like thin transparent
blades. When several coats of lac
quer containing the essence are
skillfully applied, the reflection of
light in various directions gives the
lustrous appearance associated
with real pearls.

Paint Of the Savage Indians

Annatto Of commerce, a reddish
yellow dyestuff, comes from the
pulp surrounding the seeds Of bixa
orellana, produced in Jamaica,
Ecuador. British India and Brazil.
Annatto possesses a long and color
full history. Columbus found the
savage Carib Indians using annat-
to as a war paint. The Colorado
Indians, "red men" Of Ecuador, to-
day process the pulp in such
a way that it yields a red dye. This
is used as body paint to repel
gnats, mosquitoes and other insects.
The womenfolk are allowed to paint
only the face The dye has been
used in jellies, hair soap, candles,
pomades, spirits, confectionery, lac
quer for brass and in dyeing vari-
GUS textiles.

The sunfiower contributed an i'm

Volts. Amneres and Watts

The three units, volts, amperes
and watts, measure electrical pres
sure, quantity Of current, and the
power received. It is therefore cor
rect to say that watts burn, since
the burn is caused by the genera
ton Of heat (power) at the point Of
contact. The statements that volts
cause shock and amperes kill is q
little too simplified, since both fac
tors enter into shock and electrocu-
ton. The volts (pressure) combine
with the resistance Of the body 10
determine how much current will
flow, but the path taken through the
body has large influence on the
damage produced.
