Wax from Sugar Cane. 



The "West India Committee Circular" 

 states that application has been made for 

 a patent for a process of extracting wax 

 from the sugar cane. It seems that the 

 rind of the cane contains a certain pro- 

 portion of wax which has hitherto been 

 lost with the refuse. By the new process 

 this wax is now recovered from the filter 

 refuse and turned to commercial uses, 



being very similar in its characteristics 

 to beeswax or Carnauba wax, which can 

 be used for precisely the same purposes. 

 The wax, which resembles that now used 

 very largely for making cylinders for 

 so-called talking machines, is exceeding- 

 Iv hard and capable of taking a high 

 polish. It is understood that many fac- 

 tories in Java will this year be using 

 this process.
