Giucose from Rags.
The Journal of Applied Science, says:
"A manufactory in Germany turns out
1,000 pounds of grape-sugar a day from
old linen. The linen, which is pure vege
table fibrine, is treated with sulphuricacid
and converted into dextrine. This is
washed with lime-water, and then treated
with more acid, and almost immediately
it changes and crystalixes into gluscose,
or grape-sugar, which is highly valued in
the making of rich preserves and jellies.
The process is said to be economical, and
the sugar is chemically the same as that
found in the grape. Why the product
should be objected to on the ground of its
origin is not clear, if one reflects that
grapes arc nourished by materials more
offensive than old rags' and that there is
practically no difference between the trans
formation in Nature's labratory and one
in the labratory of the chemise. Still
there is a great outcry over the German
sugar-rag factory, and considerable dan
ger of the enterprise being stopped by the
German Government."
Whether the times are hard or easy there
are people who are not happy and want
to change things for their own benefit
at the expense of the general welfare.
Yesterday's dispatches brought news of
serious discontent among skilled laborers
in half a dozen places that are widely
apart, and in each place the discontent
had taken shape in that worst of all meth
ods of adjusting the differences between
employes and employed—the strike. The
New York piano manufacturers are at log
gerheads with their employes over a de
mand for an increase of wages. The jour
neymen in one large factory have struck,
and their union having sustained them, the
union of manufacturers propose to play
the same game. The latter ,therefore, an
nounce that unless the strikers return to
work by a given date every other manu
facturer in the city will suspend business
until the recalitrant journeymen come to
terms. This shows how one sido can
strike as well as another, and if both con
tinue in hostile mood labor cannot fail to
suffer most. In Troy there is a strike of
nickel-platers for an advance of flfeen per
cent, and the strikers have fallen into vio
lence. In Cohoes fortycight hundred
mill hands are holding out for a ten per
cent, advance and an hour's nooning.
Two hundred and seventy, five thousand
spindles are idle and the daily loss of the
strikers in stopped waged is $5,000.
These are specimen bricks, of a day's news,
and, as if the signs were not bad enough,
it is given out that political labor agitatos
arc comming from St. Louis to organize
more conflicts. It was hardly wortli
while to have prosperity return if its op
portunities are thus abused.
While surveying in the mountains
northeast of Anaheim, California, last
year, Major William P. Reynolds encoun
tered, a inan who had worked for him 111
former years, lie failed to recognize
him, however, until the stranger explain
ed who he was. He was then a man of
200 pounds weight, whereas he weighed
340 pounds when in the Major's employ.
The secret of his reduced size was freely
gi\ji:n. A short distance up the mountain
was a spring, the waters of which con
tained some mineral anti-fat properties.
Did the Major want to lose some of the
superfluous flesh which encumbered him.
Ho did. 110 drank the water and in ten
days his weight had been reduced 25
pounds. He continued drinking the
water until from 210 pounds he was re
duced to 170 pounds, his present weight.
This was accomplished without any vio
lent action on the part of the water.
Major Reynolds will obtain water from
the spring and forward it to the Smithso
nian Institute, at Washington, for analy
sis. The spring is about sixteen miles
from Anaheim, easily accessible, and if
the analysis establishes the fact that there
is nothing to be apprehended from using
the water, many obese persons will avail
themselves of the opportunity to try na
ture's remedy.
The report of the actuary of the Globe
Mutual Life Insurance Company shows a
hopeless deficit of more than $.000,000.
There is no possibility of a resumption of
business, and all that can be done is to
divide up the remaining assets among the
policy-holders as rapidly as possible.
