After that, due to the use of 10 or 15 per cent. of lignite on the ~ 
weight of sugar present, no commensurate effect was observed to be | 
produced in the direction of increased purity by the addition of fur- 
ther quantities. This fell off very slightly or not at all, however, as 
filtration proceeded towards its finishing point, as also more or less 
in lixiviation, depending, as seemed shown, upon a lower or higher ~ 
percentage of coal employed. Believing the application of the pro- 
cess to Louisiana juice condemned by the excessive quantities of lig- 
nite found essential to sufficiently rapid filtration and by its failure 
to realize a higher gain in purity, before reaching conclusive knowl- 
edge of these minute it should be said these have not since been ac- | 
corded that systematic inquiry which otherwise they would have . 
deserved. 
As decolorizers of saccharine liquors, either dilute or concentrated, 
certain brown coals are, on the other hand, surprisingly effective.
