By the process of bread-making it is intended 
to convert the flour of certain grains into a 
cellular structure, in which it is most easily 
chewed, saturated with the fluids of the mouth, 
and digested. In order to arrive at this end, 
alcoholic fermentations is resorted to from old¬ 
en times, by introducing the same in the dough 
by means of brewers 1 yeast. Thus a small part 
of the flour is converted iuto glucose, which 
again is transformed iuto alcohol and carbonic 
acid. The former is recognized by its peculiar 
vinous odor, exhaled by the loaves, wlieu suf¬ 
ficiently raised. Both gases produce the rais¬ 
ing of the dough— i. e., the porous and spongy 
appearance. 
By this fermentation the flour uot only loses 
weight but the bread ulso attains qualities 
which may injure the process of indigestion. 
lu order to evade these inconveniences chem¬ 
ists have long ago searched, to impart the 
spungy structure of the dough by other means 
than yeast, respectively by substances evolv¬ 
ing gaseous bodies, or which. In the oven are 
transformed into gases themselves. To the 
best known belong the bicarbonate of soda and 
cream of tartar, eertaiuly well known to all 
housewives. And with regard to most of the 
baking powders of tho trade, they are mainly 
preparations, containing these substances. 
However, it c&uuot be said of any of them that 
they exert a beneficial influence on the system, 
not to speak of the adulterations to which 
most of them have lately been subjected. 
We arc glad to learn that Prof. K. N. Hors - 
ford, of Cambridge, Mass., who held the chair 
of Chemistry in Harvard University,invented, 
some time since, a linking preparation forming 
an exception to those spoken of, which has al¬ 
ready attained universal reputation. 
The idea by which Prof. Horsford was guid¬ 
ed was not only to furnish a substitute for 
brewers’ yeast, but also to provide those nutri¬ 
tious constituents of the flour lost in the bran 
in the process of bolting. These are the so- 
called phosphates, which are also the nutritive 
salts ot meat, and of the utmost importance 
for the building up of the organism. If we 
take into consideration that the nutritive 
value of wheuten flour is from 12 to 15 per 
cent, less than of the wheat grain, and that 
this loss is now restored by Prof. Hursford’s in¬ 
vention, then we must look upon it as of tho 
greatest national economic importance. As 
Justus von Liebig, said; “The result is the 
same as if the fertility of our wheat fields 
had beeu increased by oue-seventli or one.
