CHAPTER XXV 



Variation of " Solids " of a Cane Syrup with Dilution as calculated fro 

 THE Observed Solids at the Stated Dilution. 



The Syrup contained 69 -233 per cent. Absolute Solids, 60 -44 per cent. 

 Sugar, and i -73 per cent. Ash. 



Variation of " Solids " of a Molasses with Dilution, as calculated fro 

 Observed Solids at the Stated Dilution. 



The Molasses contained 76-630 per cent. Absolute Solids, 31 -91 per cent. 

 Sugar, 16-43 per cent. Reducing Sugars, and ii -13 per cent. Ash. 



Purity. — By the expression " Purity " is meant the value of the expression 

 (Sugar per cent. /SoHds per cent.) X 100. Depending on whether the 

 Polarization or the sucrose per cent, is used as the numerator in this ex- 

 pression, and whether the soHds are absolute, gravity or refractive, six values
