MAKING GLUCOSE.
AT the late convention of Insurance
men, held In Chicago, Mr. A. P.
Red Held read an essay on the "Fire
Hazard of Glucose Factories," The pa
per commenced by saying that there is
a general interest In glucose. Even the
child Bmacks its Hps when told that the
number of factories of this commodity
is constantly increasing ; that one of
them at Buffalo is 180x210 feet In dimen
sions, eight stories high, and makes 150
tons of sweetness per day ; that the cost
of the product Is less than half of cane
sugar, and that It is largely used In
making candy. The general publlc.sur
prlsed by the fact that there has been
made In the United States during the
last year or two about 300,000,000 pounds
annually, being about 600 tons per day,
and that we have eaten nearly all of it
without knowing it, are getting Inter
ested in it. Of the nine or ten factories
that were in existence In 1879,two burn
ed, which makes the proportion of burn
ings enormous.
Glucose is the sugar or sweet product
that comes from fruits, grain, peas, beans
or potatoes. It differs from the product
of sugar cane or the maple tree, which
are called by the chemists sucrose, in
the fact that glucose will not crystallize,
at least not readily. Chemically speak
ing, it is grape Bugar in liquid form.
The paper then discussed the history
of the discovery and manufacture of the
substance. It was discovered in 1812 by
a German chemist named Ktrchoff, and
In after years was imported extensively
into America. In 1838 there were about
twenty factories in France and Germany
which increased to eighty-five in 1878,
while there were more than one hun
dred in the Austrian empire, though
they were not established there until
1835 or 1840. Most of the glucose of
Europe, except that of Hungary, is
made from potatoes, on account of their
cheapness.
In 1807 the manufacture of glucose in
America was commenced. Since that
time numbers of manufactories have
been established in the United States,
until now there are fifteen, and others
are being built, so that it is estimated
that within a few years the annual pro
duct will be about forty pounds per head
of population. Each bushel of corn
makes twenty-six to thirty pounds of
glucose, which brings two and a half
cents per pound, the profit upon which
in some cases is as high as forty to fifty
cents per bushel, but the Interest on the
investment and incidental expenses re
duce the profit so that it is not greater
than that of ruoBt enterprises requiring
the same capital investment. Besides
the great care, experience and skill re
quired in the business, one item of ex
pence Is generally overlooked, namely,
the great waste and wear upon the
building and machinery. A competent
witness says that he put solid oak tim
bers into the construction of a glucose
manufactory, and that they had to be
replaced in eighteen months,having rot
ted away, the cause being the peculiar
processes and the materials used. An
other manufacturer told the writer that
the costs of repairing per annum was
something like 20 per cent, of the first
cost of the business.
In making glucose the shelled corn is
soaked in large tubs of hot water for 36
hours or longer, until fermentation be
gins. It is ground while wet and run
on vibratory sieves. The finer, starchy
part of the corn is washed through the
sieves into tanks and settled. The wa
ter is then drawn off and the sediment
mixed with clean water and treated
with alkali, about one pound of caustic
soda being used for each bushel of oorn
to separate every trace of gluten from it.
It is then poured into metal-lined
troughs, descending slightly, most of
the water running away, leaving the
starch in the bottom, which is left to
dry. Up to this point the process is
similar to starch making. For glucose
this " green starch," is washed again
and then treated with acids, sulphuric
being mostly used.although hydrochloric
nitric and oxalic acids are also used
to some extent During this process
which converts the starch into glucose
it is brought to a boiling point by steam
pipes. The mixture is then treated
with some alkaline or lime substance to
neutralize the acid. The syrup is then
treated with different chemicals to
further purify it, boiled down and filter
ed through charcoal.
The paper also discussed the uses to
which glucose is put, it being used in
the manufacture of sugar, syrups and
oonfectionery, these products, in nearly
all cases, having in their composition
from 10 to 100 per cent, of glucose, the
paper taking the ground that, if the pro
cess of manufacture is carefully carried
on, the product is not unwholesome.
The paper then proceeded to discuss
the fire hazard of glucose factories, men
tioning first the moral hazard. This is
not great at present, as most of the es
tablishments are making money. The
incendiary hazard was also mentioned.
A glucose factory is sometimes consider
ed a nuisance because of its stench, and
hence Is liable to be burned by an enrag
ed populace, but a reasonably good sew
erage and care not to leave the foul
water stand to stink will obviate this
source of offense. The physical hazard
is greater. The Davenport factory took
fire and burned from the corn-sheller.
TheVlncennes factory took fire from
a locomotive. The buildings used
for the business are grand in propor
tions, but bad fire risks for that rea
son. A fire started in a room 180 by 210 feet
with a draught made by windows, doors
and elevator shafts, will defy the extin
guishing power of the best fire depart
ments in the world. When there are
eight of these rooms, one above the
other, in the same building, the danger
is largely Increased. Most of these es
tablishments had their immense steam
boilers in the main building, which is
unsafe, although they are generally
safely arranged and the rooms light and
roomy. Some buildings were made
originally for other purposes and are
badly arranged, being dark and crowded
where they should be light and roomy,
especially around the kilns and boilers.
This is true also of a large part of the
factories that were built for the purpose
and have been enlarged many times
since.
The corn-shellers are a great source of
risk, but most of the factories at the
present time buy their corn already
shelled. As kilns containing retorts are
used in all the factories, they are the
chief physical hazard. They ought to
be outside the main building, entirely
cut off and detached, and, wherever
they are used, their surroundings should
be made entirely of brick, stone, iron, or
other incombustible material. They are
much more dangerous than malt kilns,
because their heat is much greater, the
retorts and the bone in them sometimes
being subjected to a white heat.
The handling and storage of the bone
charcoal after it Is burned is a great
source of danger. It is supposed to be
cooled before it goes into the filters, but
it is often too hot to hold in the hatld,
and sometimes it is red-hot. Spbntane
ous combustion may occur even when it
1b cool when drawn. No wood Bhould
ever be allowed to come in contact with
it. It should be stored on a brick or
earth floor, and all tools and barrows
used to handle it Bhould be of iron.
The use of kerosene lamps in factories
was mentioned as a prolific source of
danger. The use of acids add somewhat
to the hazard, although most of them
would extinguish fire If poured upon it.
They may however, combine with other
substances used, such as starch, and
make a violently explosive compound.
The fact that most of the processes in
the manufacture are wet ones is a favor
able one, although the reader, in closing
related that the present rates of insur
ance upon glucose factories are entirely
too low.
intervIeweiTby A WOMAN.
SHE looked just like that kind of a
woman when she came into the
sanctum, and all the seniors became in
stinctively very busy and so absorbed in
their work that they did not see her,
which left the youngest man on the
staff an easy prey, for he looked at the
visitor with a little natural politeness,
and was even soft enough to offer her a
chair.
"You are the editor ?" she said, in a
bass voice.
He tried to say "Yes," so that she
could hear him, while his colleagues in
the sanctum couldn't; but it was a fail.
ure, for the woman gave him dead away
in a minute.
"You are?" she shouted ; " then listen
to me ; look at me ; what am I ?"
The foolish young man looked at her
timidly and ventured to say, in a feeble
voice, that she looked to be about forty
sev " Am I not a woman ?" she said.
The youngest man weakly tried to
correct his former error, and said she
seemed more like a glr
But again she broke in on him with a
scornful hiss :
" Gir-r-r-1 1" she said, "lama wom
an ; a woman with all the heaven-born
aspirations, the fathomless feelings, the
aggressive courage and the indomitable
will of a woman. What can you see on
my face P"
The position of the youngest man on
the staff was pitiful, but none of the old
heads appeared to observe it. At least
they didn't offer to help him out. So he
looked at her face for a second, and said
timidly :
"Freckl "
" Nursling," she shrieked, " had you
the soulful eyes of a free man you could
see shining on my brow the rising light
of a brighter dawn."
" Could I," asked tbe youngest man
timidly.
" Yes, you could I," the woman said
In tones of Immeasurable scorn. Now
hear me, have you a but I cannot
bring myself to use the hateful expres.
slon in the style of masculine posses
slon ; are you auy body's husuaud ?"
The youngest man blushed bitterly,
and said he wasn't as yet, but he had
some hopes.
"And you expect your that Is you
expect the woman whose husband you
will be to support you V" .
The youngest man blushed more keen
ly than before.and tremblingly admitted
that he had some expecllons, that, that,
being the only daughter of his pro
posed father-in-law, if he might put it
that way.
'Yah !" snarled the woman ; "now
let me tell you the day of woman's
emancipation Is at hand. From this
time we are free, fer-reel You must
look for other slaves to bend aud cringe
before your majesties, and wait upon
you like slaves. You will feel the
change in your affairs since we have
burst our chains, and how will you live
without the aid of woman ? Who
makes your shirts now V" she added
fiercely.
The youngest man miserably said
that a tailor ou Jefferson street made
his.
" Hm," said the womau, somewhat
disconcerted. " Well, who washes 'em
then!"' Bhe added triumphantly.
A Chinaman just west of Fifth
street," the youngest man said with a
hopeful light in his eyes.
The woman glared at him and groan
ed under her breath, but she came at
him again with :
" Proud worm, who cooks your
victuals?"
The youngest man said truly that he
didn't know the name of the cook at his
restaurant, but he was a darkey about
forty years of age and round as a bar
rel, with whiskers like the stufllug of a
Bofa.
The woman looked at him as though
she was going to strike him.
"Well," Bhe said, as one who was
leading a forlorn hope, " who makes
up your bed aud takes care of your
room?"
The youngest man replied with an air
of truth and frankness, that he roomed
with a rail road conductor and an ex
Pullman car porter took care of their
room.
She paused when she reached the door
and turning upon him with the face of a
drowning man who Is only five feet
away from a life buoy.
-"Miserable dependent," she cried,
" who sews on your buttons ?"
The youngest man on the staff rose to
his feet with a proud, happy look on his
face.
"Havn't a sewed button on a single
clothes," he cried triumphantly, " pat
ents, every one of 'em, fastened on like
copper rivits, and nothing but studs
and collar buttons on my shirts. Have
not had a button sewed on for three
years. Patent buttons last for years
after the garments have gone to decay."
And the woman fled down the wind
ing passage and the labyrinthine stairs
with a hollow groan, while the other
members of the staff, breaking through
their heroic reserve, clustered around
the youngest man and congratulated
him upon the emancipation of his
sex.
A Curious Petition.
This was addressed to the governor of
South Carolina, in the year 1733, by six
teen maidens of Charleston. It ran
thus : " The humble petition of all the
maids whose names are underwritten.
Whereas, we, the humble petitioners,
are at present in a very melancholy
state of mind, considering how all the
bachelors are blindly captivated by widr
ows, and our own youthful chances
thereby neglected ; in consequence of
this, our request is that your excellency
will for the future order that no widows
presume to marry any young man till
the maids are provided . for ; or else to
pay each of them a fine for satisfaction
for invading our liberties ; and likewise
a fine to be levied on all such bachelors
as shall be married to widows. The
great disadvantage it is to us maids is
that the widows, by their forward car
riage, do snap up the young men, and
have the vanity to think their merit be
yond ours, which is a great imposition
on us, who ought to have the preference.
This is humbly recommended to your
excellency's consideration,and hope you
will permit no further insults. And we
poor maids, in duty bound, will ever
pray." The maidens all forlorn would
have much approved the edict of the
Portuguese king which forbade widows
more than fifty years old from remarry
ing, on tbe ground that widows of that
age commonly wedded young men of no
property! who dissipated the fortunes
such marriages brought them to the
prejudice of children and other rela
tives. "

The Living Christ.
The picture of Jesus Christ could
never have been drawn had there not,
been a living Christ from which to draw
it. The life, character, the teachings of
Christ could never have been written by
mortal men, If that life had not first
been witnessed, If that character had
not been seen, if those teachings had
not been heard. If this is so, then the
simple existence of these books Is suffi
cient proof of their historio truth ; for
the reason that what they describe is be
yond human Invention. Here is the
marvellous picture. Here are the books.
They must In some way be accounted
for. No respectable scholar denies that
they have been in the world from the
earliest Christian avyv Eithe Jtmis
Christ lived, and this is a natural record
of his real life, or Bomebody of that age
invented it.
Now, for four unknown aud unletter
ed men to conceive of such a character
as that, to actually set him In motion,
with all the graces and virtues of an in
imitable and noble manhood, to supply
wisdom for him, to furnish him with
the strength and loveliness of Jesus
Christ, to carry through consistently a
being making such stupendous claims,
to make that airy fiction the source from
which streams all our best thoughts of
God, and to make him, at the same time
a real brother man, bo real that we clasp
him as our own flesh and blood for
four unknown men, I say, to have
risen in the darkness of the old Roman
and done that, is a miracle of author
ship which surpasses any miracle Of the
New Testament. The Character of
Jesus is the supreme miracle. It is far
easier for me to believe that Jesus Christ
came down from heaven, as these men
say he did, than to believe that they
manufactured him.
The Bird's Fear of the Dead.
It is not mere sentimentalism that
pleads in favor of the most merciful
form of Heath being adopted in the case
of the slaughter of animals intended for
human consumption. There is no ques
tion that much suffering would be spar
ed cattle If they were not allowed to see
each other slaughtered. Not easy is it
to conceive the kind of torture they feel
and cannot express. How observant
are animals is proved by a case which
came under my own observation.
Among the inmates of my house is a
jackdaw, an ill-grained and vituperative
bird as ever accepted, under protest, hu
man companionship and human atten
tion. He prefers so distinctly sleeping
in a cage where no enemy can assail
him while he is off his guard that he is
allowed to have his own way in the
matter. One day, while he was in the
cage, some pheasants, which had just
arrived in a hamper, were placed beside
Titm. TTIa riranrl it thpaa Ttrna remarka
ble to witness. A bird whose whole lif
was passed in defiance of things strong
er than himself,in aggravating a mastilK"
that would not make two bites of hi or,
or in pinching surreptitiously the flam-,
boyant tail of his arch enemy the cat
when it came within reach of his cage
went at this sight into an ecstacy of
terror which could not be appeased un
til the uncanny objects were removed.
What InBtinct caused this strange dem
onstration in the presence of death
shown in one of its own race, albeit so
different a species, is not to be guessed.
Much food for reflection and speculation
is, however, afforded.
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the
scandal tree perfumes the axe that
strikes it.
O" God's treasury is absolutely inex
haustible. He can never fail a trusting
heart.
No matter what may be your sta
tion, you can so Jive that men through
you and in you shall see God.
