This new method is altogether novel, as it consists not in boiling down the Juice, but in freezing the juice. The ice is then cracked into small pieces and whii-led in a centrifugal machine; by this means all the sugar and thick syrup is separated from the ice, which is almost pure water. By this means a gallon of the syrup is reduced to one quart. A peculiar phenomenon incident to this process is the fact that the cream of tartar crystallizes out with the ice and makes the acidity of the juice much less than normal. This is particularly true of the Concord grape juice, which has a large percentage of tartar in it. This new method of freezing the juices to concentrate them preserves in a wonderful degree the natural purple color of the juice and makes the drink very much more beautiful in its rich purple appearance and more sparkling. WTien the concentrated juice is ster- ilized afterward by heating it keeps in- definitely as a thick syrup. It can be used at soda fountains, as flavorings for cookery and other dietary pur- poses. The government hopes to ex- ploit this latest discovery on a com- mercial basis this year, as it promises not only to give a fine qualify of goods from the best grapes, but also the freezing method takes out the "rough" taste of many cheaper grades and gives a very f
