Artificial Sugar.

For many years the artificial production of sugar has been the occasion of many experiments. The hope of obtaining by the union of certain chemical elements this valuable substance has led to efforts that have resulted in producing glucose, what is called ‘‘invert sugar,” and many other exceedingly sweet elements, but in no case lias the pure, normal sugar been found as the consequence in this direction. But little reliance is placed on the claims of an Italian scientist who asserts that he has actually produced sugar from gases and vapor. The world will wait with no little interest for the still further development of the Italian’s ideas, for to have made a single ounce of sugar is an achievement that will win fame and fortune for the indefatigable toiler in the chemical fields of the world.—[New York Ledger.
