TIIE INVENTOII OF SACUSIAIil1V.
An Acctident Leat' to an Iutdportant DiMcovery
A Substance Which Out-Sugard tugor.
Dr. Constantine Fahlberg, the in
ventor or discoverer of saccharine tcho
now coal tar sugar, is a tall, well-built,
handsome Gorman-Anerican, of about
thirty-eight years of age. lie speaks the
iodern languages fluently, and despite
the celebrity thalit so suddenly fal en
upon him, is quite difildent and re
served. To an inquiring roporter, who
had called upon him for the express pur
poso of conversing with him on the new
sweetoning agent, lie said:
''how ddl disCOVer stccltrino? Well,
it was partly by accident and partly by
study. I had worked a long tune upon
the conpotnd radicals and substitution
products of coal tar, and had made a
number of scientific discoveries that are,
so far as I know, of no commercial
value. One evening I was so interested
in my laboratory that I forgot about
supper until quito late, and then rushed
oif for a meal without stopping to wash
my hands. I sat down, broke a piece of
bread, and put it to my lips. It tasted
unspeakably sweet. I did not ask why
it was so, probably because I thought it
vas some cake or sweetmeat. I rim ed
.y mouth with water, and dried my
moustache with my napkin, when, to my
suprise, the napkin tasted sweeter titan
the bread. 'hen 1 was puzzled. I again
raised my goblet and, as fortune would
havo it, applied my mouth where my
fingers had touched it before. The
water seemed syrup. It ilashed upon im
that I was the cause of the universal
sweetness, and I accordingly tasted the
end of my thumb, and found that it sur
passed any confectionery I had cvei
eaten. I saw the whole thing at a glance.
I had discoverel or macde somue coal tai
substance which out-sugared sugar. I
dropped my dinner, and rau back to tht(
laboratory. There, in my excitement
I tasted the contents of every beakei
and evaporatitrg dish on the table,
Luckily for me, none contained any
corrosive or poisonous liquid.
''Otto of them contained an impurc
solution of saccharine. On this I workee
then for weeks and months until 1 had
dotermined its chemical composition, iti
characteristics and reactions, and the
best modes of making it scientifically
Mid commercially. When I first pub
liahed my researches, seine peoplk
laughed as if it were a scientific joke:
others, of a more skeptical turn, doubted
the discovery and the discoverer, uid
still others prdelaimed the work as being
of no practieal value. When the ptblic
first saw saccharine, however, everythuing
changed. 'I']te entire press, Europeau
and American, described me and my
sugar in a way that may have becet edify
ing, but was simply amusing to me.
And then came letters. My mail tas
run as high as sixty a day. .t'eopk
wanting samples of saccharine, my auto
graph, or my opinion on chenical
problems, desiring to become my part
ner, to buy iy discovery, to be ny
agent, to enter my laboratory and tlh
like.
A Woxulm:mtr suCCEss.
''What have I done? I have star"ted
a companty in (eriaty to manuftacttr
saccharine, with a capiaital of 2,00)U,00
iarks. '1'hey ire already at work, and
are now prodtcing the iew sugar. It
costs, or rather we sell it, between $1.
and $12 per pound, but will reduce thes:
figures considerably before a year hat
gone past. .1 would rather have started
int this country, which is my tome, bu
the hiight price of skilled labor, and th<~
hiight tar if en the crude materials (fine.
elcemicalIs) of wihel saeehatrinie is matide,
deterred1 me and~ my friends from se
doing. I will say, ho wev'er, that if ap.
plieCd chtemlistry 'onitiues progesigt'5ii la
it hias doine in the pa1st dlecadie, we shaill
opeit brainch works here withint the ntexi
five yeats."
$aechaorine is proving a wonderful suc
cess. It is used itlready iin manIy ways.
It is emnployed by the uinakers of gluceost
iand beet sugar. These arne inmfetrior in
sweetness to canie sugart, itit superior in
digestibility and( hiealthfuliness. TJhie lad
dition of a trifling fratctiont of sneehiariit
makes themt the equals of the t'inest cen
sugar in the miarket. Hae(chalLno is st
sweet that a teaspioonfuil conlvert a 1har
rel oif water inito Sytup. A smiall waifei
of it converts thle bidtterest qutininie solu
tion or acidl drink inito ia re(gular imolats
ses. It will, therefore, lie invaluabh
in disguising and destrocying all the bit
ter and( sour1 tastes ini iaediciie withiout
chantging tlte character or action of the
drugs.
Saccharine does niot decay, mloulid or
ferment, neither is it attacked bi
balcteiaL. It has no inljuriouls effect upjon
thte hturmn systemi. What (lYeet lae
been nioticed is rathI er beneficial than:
otherwise. Tis immiuiiity froni deca~
will render it of great utility. Whl.rt
-sugar is tised as a flavor amditnot as
food1, it is hound toi 1be replaceed 1by sac
charine; where as a food iandi flavor' com
biined, it will itot lbe. in the future th<
new .sugar will lie ulsedI by druggists,
physicians, baikers, contfeetionercis, citndy7
mak(ers, bottlers, preserve anid pickh
makers, liquor dlistillers, wone mallkers
and dlealers in bottlers' stupies.

TIIKT KNIGHTS OP LABIt.JU
Cardinal (ibbons Decisres that the Order Is not
Under the Iap of the Church.
BA L'riMto1u, August 19.-The A 'neriean
will print to-morrow an interview with
Cardinal Gibbons, who says:
Cardinal Tascbcreau's condemtnailon of
the Knights of Labor should not he taken
a.5 the sentiment of the Church. I ttt not
faumiliar with the labor organizations in
Quebec, but It is certain that the Cardinal's
hostility grew out of some local laws or
conduct of the Knights which are contrary
to the doctrint's of the Church.
As to the Knights of Labor in the United
States I have not thorougly exanine( lheitd
c')nstit it ion or studied their )turpoSes, yet
froni the newspapers andti lowderly's state
nw 'nts I infer that their objects arc praise
worthy and not oIposed to Church views.
'l'he Catholia prelates will to a man declare
in favor of the organizat ion of hibor. ''here
can, be no wrong in it Organization is the
basis of all progress, politicttL social and re
ligious. Only when it is abused does the
C'htrch raise her Voice. I have no knowl
edge of tIe local societies in Canatda.
Wiethte' or not secret pledges are taken hv
the Knights of labhor there is a qluestio'n
on 'hich torc light, should be thrown by
ihir leaders.. Vicar (Genertal (Coniway, of
Chicago, assured me that, it. bears no resem
hltanue to the I )rder of .\l:asons, l hit1 Fellows
an<l other organizations wiich tic: (hurh
Ims always anitagonizcl. A tistinction
rtust he nade as to the naturc of seciet
pledges. \\e holi that if i nin joins it
society swearing never to reveal any of its
workigs, and to obey the dic"tates of its
olicecs blindt(ly, lie surrtelcrs his piersonal
liberty. On the other laund, if a iai joins,
sweaming to keep secret its workings, with
the.proviso that nothing shall be ('ontrary
0 the laws of the lai il, we hohl he is per
fcc-ily .jusitialile. The whole question de
it'nds on whichoh these oaths th e innibers
take. Itf tlie at ter, ani in accorlajiec witht
3i'. Pwderly's statents, t hen ti
Chinch says to the Knights of L:iair:
"Cod speedl yo.'' If, however, thei albsa
lte hlind pledges is taken, no nmiter how
lctulable the object of the so ietv, the
Chui rchI can never countemuic-e it, anid will
call on her chilhere to withdraw under
pain of excoumunieation. So everythinc
depends on the proviso.
