A while ago it was found the cinchona tree could be profitably planted in India, and a fine new feld of industry was believed to have opened for the farmers of that country. fcores of chemists, however, have been at work upon the synthesis of quinine, and their researches have advanced so far that the prediction is now confident ly made that the manufacture of the principle of quinine will soon be a com mercial su and that cinchona planting will berome a thing of the past. These commer jal reprodu tions of the valuable principles inherent in natural products are often easier to han die and utilize than the products from which they have hitherto been derived, and thus the tenden v of manufactures is to substitute artificial for natural sources of supply. Ihe problem of sugar making inorgani : materials has engaged some chemists for a sumber of years. The syuthesis of glucose by Fischer and Tafel is said to promise an ample supply of this commodity without the aid of grapes or star h. Two years ago some German chemists announ ed that they had produced saccharose, the equivalent of came sugar, by passing an ele tri urrent through a mixture of star h, sul phuric aid and water. Nothing has yet been heard of the (ommer ial value of this new product, and there is no rea son to think it will prove a dangerous rival to the sweets we derive from the cane and the beet, Some sugar growers, however, have | been prophesying for years that some thing would hsppen to ruin the sugar isdostry, and their alarm re cives a fresh impetus at every new discovery like that of Remsen's saccharine, an ex ceedingly sweet article produced from coal tar.
