To tha Edilor of The Tridune, Laxn Fonrsr, July 28,—From the moat au- thentle sources of information that we can ab- taln, it appears that tho crushed and cut sugara differ from the coffee, and the so-called gran- ulated, Inasmuch os they are chiefly made from Bouthiern cane. Two years ago the granulated ‘was made from tho same materials, and refined in the same way as the crushed, but the refiners have devised a way of partially drying the coffee sugar by baking, so that now we haveonlya counterfelt article. But, though tho crushed {s made from cane, 1t {8 by no means free from polson, Since tho refiners began to abandon the use of blood in refining, s number of different chemicals have been found as substitutes. They aro acetate of alumina, acld phosphate of alumina, superphos- phate of lime, bisulphate of lime, sulphato of 1ime, and subacetate of lead, It{s said that thereis far the most proflt in using the latter, 08 the object can be accomplished without any wasto of the sugar, ana with & great saving of thne, Bythe uso of thiaagent the same end can be attalned fn one day which would require anumbor of days by the use of blood, We arc, therefore, 8afo in supposing that nearlyall, it not. all, the crushed sngars are refined with lead. Ponsibly other chomicals may e used toa limited extont, Lut thele nuse cannot bo general. Our ro- marks muat therefore apply to this ngent. 1t tho refiners completely neutralizo the lead by tho sulphurous acld gas, a8 thoy profess to do, then no objection conld be made to thelr sugars. But they do nat, 88 {s ovldent from tho fact that evory time that those who are subject to nervous Deadaches and bleeding piles attempt to use it they But we are not compelled to rely whelly on tho {estimony of invallds.

RosstTER, —— THE OTHER SIDE. To the Editor af TAe Tridune. Cnicago, July 27.—Your Saturday’s supplo- ment contalned & lotter on the subject of pols- oned sugars from R., which contains so little truth that it ghould not be allowed to go unan- swered, ‘We have not space to discuss the many crrors in the article, but will call attentfon to the main points, beginning with a deseription of the man- ner in which sugars and siraps are made. Thero are several yarieties of sugar, the only ones of which are of intercst to us being cano sugar and grape sugar, or glucose. Cane sugar 18 obtained from the jufcs of the sugar<cane by processes which, though comparatively simple, require too much spaco to bo described here. The Juice from tha sugar-cane contains n vegelas Ble acld which haa tho property of converting tha cane sogar (which la crystallisable) inte a form which ia uncryatallizable, This uncrystallizable varlety is the substance commonly known ;a4 mo- 'l 1asses, or alrup, or troaclo, 1f tho acid wero al- lowed to remain in the julce while it ia belng heated, n large quantiiy of tho canc sugar wvould e converted into alrup, and consequently a sourco of Joss to the manutacturers. Thisacld, therofore,ld . ted from tho juico ns roon av possible, and T:g“:ululll: Lio '1vnrle|.y (common snugar) is by varfons processcs scparated from thouncrystalilza ble, or molnssea. Now, the fact that cans sngar ts vory expenaive bas lod to tts adulterstion with a cheaper kind called grapo sugar, or glucoso, which is made ac- cording. to tho following procoss: A mixturo of ono part_sulphurie acid’ with 100 parts water 18 caused to voil In & vesscl of some sart, mado uauslly of iron, and somctimen lned ywith tin. Into this a stream of & hot mixturo of starch and yeator is allowed to flow gradually, and the whola rmitted to boll for half ‘an bour. At tho énd of- E!Il time, iho starch will be found to bo trans- formed into o aweet substance, to which has Leen glven the nnme grapo dugar, The sniphurlc acid $1)i be found unchanged, nud, of conrse, muat bo tomoved, In order to accomplish thls, common cholk 18 added to the mixturc, which lias the prop- erly of usiting with the acld to form gypsum, or plastar of Parls, or sulphato of Thiwe. ' Thia (gyp- Pum) is insoiablo In wator, and will collect on the bott m of the vesiol in which the mixture {s contained, The next step in the process s tha separation of the suuar from the water In which it in dissolved. Thlu ls done by the process of evap- oration. ow, beforo the sulphuric octd has been nen- mfllzed. it will duol\'op:‘ very amall quantity of the containing vessol, and the substanco thns formed may be injurious to the heaith, This will de]‘lenl\' however, upon tha nature of thesubstance, 1f the veseol be 1ined with Lin, the substanco formed will he aulphate of tin, which, in {arge quantities, is fn- Jurlonn to the henlth, Dut it Is never present in snficlent quantity to prave detrlmental. 1f the veanel used bo made of iron, the substance formed will be sulphate of iron, which Is perfectly bann- less in many times the quantity foond in sugara, In the letter quoted by R., ftia stated that hy- drochloric ia komictimos uscd instead of sulpliuric acid, which is quita true; but the author probably forgot to ndd that wniphurle acid, bulng very much cheaper ‘than lydrochloric, 1s uscd to the almost entire ~ exclusion of the latter, Admitting that it s sometlmes uscd, wo must also ndmit that the results of its actlon on tho tin, iron, and lme will producs cerresponding chlorides of thero substances, But tho statement that the chlorides of tin, iron, lime, and magno- sium are found in -ummmr{ larga quantity to prove polsonous requires quallfication. Tho chlo- ride of in, like the sulphate of that metal, ia pojs- onous In conslderablo quantity, but it Is nover found I consldesuble quantity m the sltup or sa- ara found In our grocery stores, Inthefiret placa, Fn order to have the tin present in the sirup, it 13 necessary to inyo tho sirup acld, us the chloride of tin Is ouly solutble in an acld mixture, Whea the chalk f nddod it destroys the acidity of tho mix- ture, and connequently all bnt a vory sinall quane tity 'of tho chioride of tin Is precipltated.
