The sirup is drawn off at the s. ,j(TOf MOLASSES FILTEKER. Manna is a saccharine substance, intermediate betwreen canesugar and honey. It is the concrete juice of a species of ash(Fraxinus omus), which exudes spontaneously, and is obtainedby incisions made into the stem of the tree. Honey is a species of sugar, consisting of a crystallizableportion, and a liquid sirup which can not be solidified. Itsnature is much influenced by the flowers on which the beesfeed. The best known is said to be from the Peak of Tene-riffo. In some localities honey is poisonous, no doubtowing to the nature of the plants or flowers. The bees col-lect, by means of their proboscis, the sweet juice contained inthe nectaries or honey-cups of flowers; and although thisjuice is somewhat modified by the secretions of the animal, itis still a vegetable substance.
