 ^fTOTHH, and -which gives to that pSaat its 

 particttlar properties, is afropia; it is 

 ■white, shining, crystallizable in long 

 needles, insipid,' and little soluble in water 

 or alcohol; it forms regular salts with the 

 acids, and is capable of neutralizing^ acon^ 

 siderabte quantity of them. 



Dr. A. AV. Ives, of New York, has lately 

 made experiments on the Hop, which prove 

 that its characteristic properties reside in a 

 substance forming not more than one-sixth 

 part of the weight of the hop, and easily 

 separable from it. It was observed, that 

 on removing some hops from a bag in which 

 ♦hey had been preserved for three years, an 

 impalpable yellow powder was left behind, 

 Which, when sifted, appeared quite pure ; 

 this has been called lujiuUn ; it is peculiar 

 to the female plant, and is probably secreted 

 by the nectaria. Hops from which all the 

 lupultn had been separated when acted 

 upon by water, alcohol, &c. gave a portion 

 of extract which, however, possessed noue 

 ■arf 'the characteristic properties of the hop.

Dr. Ives next endeavoured to ascertain the 

 quantity ■ aitforiled by a giveii' tinis^iifc of 

 hops: Gibs, of hops iVom the centre of a 

 bag were put into a light bag, and by 

 thrashing-, rubbing, and sifting, 14 ouncei 

 of lupniiu were separated. Two barrels of 

 beer were then made, in, which 9 oz. of 

 lapulia Tvfere .substituted foe, 5 lbs. (the 

 ordinary quantity) of hops, and the result 

 confirmed every expectation. i^
