Sugar as a Disinfectant. 



Professor Trilbert, of the Pasteur In- 

 stitute at Paris, has demonstrated re- 

 cently that burning sugar develops for- 

 mic acetylene-hydrogen, one of the 

 most powerful antiseptic gases known. 

 Five grams of sugar (77.16 grains) were 

 burned under a glass bell holding 10 

 quarts. After the vapor had cooled 

 bacilli of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera, 

 smallpox, etc., were placed in the bell 

 in open glass tubes and within half an 

 hour all the microbes were dead. 



If sugar is burnt in a closed vessel 

 containing putrified meat or the con- 



tents of rotten eggs, the offensive odor 

 disappears at once. 



Death of Mr. Hugh Kelly. 



The many friends of Mr. Hugh Kelly 

 were grieved on October 30 last to hear 

 of his death after a short illness. Mr. 

 Kelly had been connected with the sugar 

 trade for many years, and was one of 

 the best informed in his line. His con- 

 nections were numerous and varied, not 

 only in the United States, but in Cuba 

 and the West Indies. His loss will be 

 very widely felt.
