THE INVENTOR OF SACCHARINE.
An Accident Leat*% to an Impoxrtant isiscoery
A Substance Which Out-Su;ar-, St;ar.
Dr. Constantine Fahlberg, tho in
ventor or discoverer of saccharine, the
new coal tar sugar, is a tall, well-built,
handsome German-American, of about
thirty-eight years of age. He speaks the
modern languages fluently, and despite
the celebrity that has so suddenly fallen
upon him, is quite diffident and re
served. To an inquiring reporter, who
had called upon him for the express pur
pose of conversing with him on tho new
sweetening agent, he said:
"How did I discover sacechariue? Well,
it was partly by accident and partly by
study. I had worked a long time upon
the compound 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 quite late, and then rushed
off 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
was some cake or sweetmeat. I rim ed
my mouth with water, and dried n'y
moustache with my napkin, when, to my
suprise, the napkin tasted sweeter than
the bread. Then I was puzzled. I again
raised my goblet and, as fortune would
have it, applied my mouth where my
fingers had touched it before. The
water seemed syrup. It flashed upon me
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 ever
eaten. I saw the whole thing at a glance.
I had discovered or made some coal tar
substance which out-sugared sugar. I
dropped my dinner, and ran back to the
laboratory. There, in my excitement,
I tasted the contents of every beaker
and evaporatirg dish on the table.
Luckily for me, none contained any
corrosive or poisonous liquid.
"One of them contained an impure
solution of saccharine. On this I workea
then for weeks and months until I had
determined its chemical composition, its
characteristics and reactions, and the
best modes of making it scientitically
and commercially. When I first pub
lished my researches, some people
laughed as if it were a scientific joke:
others, of a more skeptical turn, doubted
the discovery and the discoverer, and
still others proclaimed the work as being
of no practical value. When the public
first saw saccharine, however, everything
changed. The entire press, European
and American, described me and my
sugar in a way that may have been edify
mg, but was simply amusing to me.
And then came letters. My mail has
run as high as sixty a day. People
wanting samples of saccharine, my auto
graph, o- my opinion on chemical
problems, desiring to become my part
ner, to buy my discovery, to be my
aent, to enter my laboratory and the
A wO-NDERFrL SUCCESS.
-What 1-ye I done? I have started
a company in Germany to manufacture
saccharine, with a capital of 2,000,000
marks. They are already at work, and
are now producing the 'new sugar. It
costs, or rather we sell it, between $10
and $12 per pound, but will reduce these
figures considerably before a year has
gone past I would rather have started
in this country, which is my home, but
the high price of skilled labor, and the
high'tariff on the crude materials (line
chemicals) of which saccharine is made,
deterred me and my friends from so
doing. I will say, however, that if ap
plied chemistry continues progressing as
it has done in the past decade, we shall
open branch works here within the next
five years."
Saccharine is proving a wonderful suc
cess. It is used already in many ways.
It is employed by the maakers of glucose
and beet sugar. These are inferior in
sweetness to cane sugar, but superior in
digestibility and healthfulness. The ad
dition of a trifling fraction of saccharine
makes them the equals of the finest cane
sugar in the market. Saccharine is so
sweet that a teaspoonful converts a bar
rel of water into syrup. A small wafer
of it converts the bitteres't quinine solu
tion or acid drink into a regular molas
ses. It will, therefore, .be invaluable
in disguising and destroying all the bit
ter and sour tastes in medicine without
changing the character or action of the
drugs.
Saccharine does not decay, mould or
firment; .nieither is it attacked by
bacteria. It has no injurious effect upon
the human system. What effect has
been noticed is rather beneficial than
otherwise. This immunity from decay
will render it of great utility. Where
sugar is used as a flavor and not as a
food, it is bound to be replaced by sac
charine; where as a food and flavor com
bined, it will not be. In the future the
new sugar will be used by druggists,
physicians, bakers, confectioners, candy
makers, bottlers, preserve and pickle
makers, liquor distillers, wine makers
and dealers in bottlers' supplies.
THE FOlEIATION OF sAcCHu.GE
.-The new coal tar product, saccharine,
Mbieh is expected to prove very useful
onaccount of its sweetening power-in
respect to which it stands to cane sugar
in the ratio of 220 to 1, and with which
.considerable antiseptic properties are
46'uiied-was mentioned at length by
Sir Sydney Roscoe in a recent discourse
at the Royal Institution. This new sub
stance was described by the lecturer as
the most remarkable of all the marvel
ous preducts of the coal tar industry. It
is not a sugar, but contains carbon,
hydrogen, sulphur, oxygen and nitrogen;
and its chemical name is benzoyl sul
phuric imide. It is neither a nutrient
nor a-poison. It is derived from the
toluene of coal tar, by a process com
prising at least seven distinct steps; the
whole contributing a triumph of svn
thetical chemistry. Toluene is first heat
ed with sulphuric acid of 168;~ degrees
Twaddell, but not above 100 degrees C.
After all the original toluene has disap
peared, the mixture is run into wooden
tanks partly filled with cold water, where
it is stirred up with chalk. The mass
thus nentralized is filtered through a!
press; and the calcium salts are treated
with. sodium carbonate, with another
filtration following. The solution of the
sodium salts thus obtained is evaporated
and the solid residue dried byv steam
beat. This material is then mixed with
phosphorus trichloride, and treated with
a current of chlorine. Certain residuals
are then driven off, and the apparatus
contains two suiphonic chlorides-one
solid and the other liquid. Only the
latter is capable of yielding saccharine.
This is now separated, mixed with solid
ammonium carborate, and steamed.
After some fnrther mechainical treat
'ment, the liquid is oxidized by potas-i
m permanganate, and, finally, th - ur
saccharine is precipitated by dilr "in
eral acids. It has a far sweeter -.t
than sugar, and a faint, delicate flavor of
bitter almonds.

-lr Lords a.nd Gentlemen: I have sum

ness. The session of the last Parliament
was interrupted before the ordinary work
of the yecar had been completed, in order
that the~ sense of my peop~le might be taken
on certain important proposals with regard
to the government of Ireland. The result
ot tihe appeal has been to contirm the con
elusion to which the late Parliament had
coime. Tihe provisional nature of the ar
ran gement made by the last Parliament for
the public charge of the year rendered it
inexpedienlt to p~ostp~one any further con
sideration of necessary financial legishation.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
The estimates which were submitted to the
hist Parliament and only partially voted
will be liid before you.
My Lords and Gentlemen: At thle period
of the year usually assigned for a recess,
antd after the prolonged and exceptional
labors to which many of you have bteen
subj~ected, I abstain from recommending
atow for your consideration any measures
except those wvhih are essential to the
c~oudiuet of the public service during the
remaining p~ortion of the financial year. I
am conident that they will receive your
priompt and careful attention.
