 tralization of the acidity in the juices. " Lime is soluble in about 

 rater at l- ad in 1500 parts at 100° C. Alcohol 



dissolves only a trace. Sugar water dissolves it in large quantity, 

 whereby the lime enters into chemical combination with the Bug 

 forming sugar of lime. This fact is technically employed in 

 separating sugar from molasses. The molasses is treated with 

 lime, and the resulting sugar of lime is decomposed by the action 

 carbonic acid, forming calcium carbonate and pure sugar.

 100 parte of cane sugar dissolved in water will dissolve 50-55 

 parts of lime." 1 1 am informed by Dr F. G. Wiechmann that the 

 lime used by the Brooklyn retineries is obtained from Glens Falls. 



Chlorid of lime 



Limestone which is to be used for this purpose must be very 

 d this hangs the possibility of making strong and 

 chlorid of lime. To Batisfy these requirements the lime- 

 must be sufficiently pure and thoroughly burned; conse- 

 quently many manufacturers of lime chlorid purchase the lime- 

 and burn it then -. The burned lime Bhould be free
