What reading level is Stray Leaves of Science And Folk Lore book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The moist crystals, being allowed to drain, yield a liquid that, when flavoured with the rats and mice, the cock- roaches and centipedes, which get into it, is known under the name of molasses. Treacle and raolasses are sometimes confounded ; never- theless there is a certain difference between them — one more of flavour than anything else. As the proc-ess of sugar crystal- lisation in the colonies yields a liquid, so does the process of refinerj' crystallisation at home. Li either case the hqu...id drains away ; and divers lining things, ready to court certain death in gratification of a sweet taste, step in and are done for. There are no scorpions in England — no centipedes, no giant cockroaches, as in the West Indies. Treacle, therefore, lacks their flavour ; but as a set-off, acquires a smack of pu- trid blood mingled with the extractive of black-beetles. Here- in consists the chief difference between treacle and molasses. As regards refining specially considered, it mainly turns upon the washing of yellow sugar white by means of a satu- rated solution of Mhite sugar poured upon it.
