Artificial Butter.

Has the chemists skill attained to such
results as enable him to manufacture the
delicious and important food substance
known to US as BUTTER This. is an in
teresting question, Through recent for
eigps -adyices we learn that M. Meye,
Parlslan chemist, is actually making good
and Ipalatabe butter out of a variety of
fats, by a process which is, patented in
nearly all the countries OF Europe. His
claim is that by spbjecting sweet lard or
other animal fats to great pressure, by
which the stearine, is extracted, an oily
material is obtained, the composition of
which is Identical with butter. 5ssAfter OBJ
tanning this "oiIy material" %. he subjects
it to variety of chemical processes,
which result in securing the favor and
physical characteristics of prime butter,
The patent specifications and claims are
presented with much detail ; and the read

This is certainly very important scien-
tlfc intelligence, if true; but we are not
yet ready to break up or burn up our
chufns, and send our cows to the butcher.
| We prefer to wait for further advices.
Butter is a delicate animal compound,
which, in our view,qcannot., be fabricated
or initiated successfully by any chemical
processes whatever. i8se
Doubtless substance can be produced
which may serve as a fair substitute for
butter among classes in Europe; but the
fastidious taste of large consumers, both
in that country and in this, can never be
satisfied with butter coming fIom other
sources than the sweet grass Of the hills
and meadows, or from the cereal grains,
transmitted or changed by the subtle chem-
istry of the animal organism. In this
connection, We cannot help remarking
that the present aspects of chemical sci
ence and research are wonderful and in
teresting in the highest degree. The at
tsmpts which are being made to construct
organic bodies of the most delicate and
complex nature seem almost presumptious,
or perhaps audacious.-Journal Of Chem

DEEP VS.. SHALLOW FLOWING.

The Milford paper recommends shallow
plowing for light land. Where there is
much sand it is doubtless best, as deep
blowing is best for heavier clay land. 1t
says
1.-The experience of all good Della
ware farmers is, that shallow plowing on
light soils will produce heavier crops Of
grain than deep blowing, and our north
ern friends, generally, (who have settled
in lower Delaware would do well to be
guided by their advice"
But Delaware farmers are not the only
ones whose experience has taught them
that shallow blowing is best for light land.
A Mr. Hart, of Litchfeld county, Con-
necticut, recently made the following
statement before the Farmers Club, which
was quite sumner - the advocates Of
deep plowing. lie said:
" My brother plowed shallow on fine
land and had 101 bushels and peck Of
shelled corn to the acre; when he plowed
over seven inches he did not get sixty
bushels of ears. On other land, by deep
culture, he got but twenty-five bushels
per acre, where shallow plowing had CIV
en- him seventy-fve. When he plowed
four and half inches deep he had dou-
BILE crop"
The above statement would have boon
more satisfactory if the person giving IL
had described the quality of the land and
the mode of culture. What do we un-
derstand by Zine land" or "other land. "
We cannot tell whether it was clay. sand.
or loan. Whatever it was, it must have
been "fne" land to produce over one hum
drcd bushels per acre, and the result was
not due simply to shallow plowing.

The COLUMN OF MAGNETIC LIGHT
Prof. j. D. Steele, writing about the
newspaper-story of terrific column of
magnetic light, shooting out from the sun
toward the earth, explains its origin thus ::
at has been known fos some time that,
during total eclipse, red flames were seen
to play about the edge of the moon. Dur
ing the ecipses of 1868 and 1869 it was
definitely settled that they are entirely
disconnected from the moon, and were
vast tongues of fire, darting out from the
suns disk. By observations with the
spectroscope, and also by means of the
wonderful photographs of the sun taken
by De la Rue during the eclipse of 1860,
it was discovered that these fire-mountains
consisted mainly of burning hydrogen gas.
This was precious information to secure in
the midst of the excitement and novelty
and in brief duration of a total eclipse. 1t
did not, however, satisfy scientific men.
For two years Mr.. Lockyer, aided by a
grant from Parliament to construct a su-
perior instrument, had been experiment
ing in order to detect these flames at 9TH
er times than at the rare occurrence of a
total eclipse. On the Goth of October,
1868, he obtained distinct image of one
of the prominences, which he afterward
traced entirely around the sun. Astron-
omers can, therefore, now study these
flames at any time. The results of OBJ
servation now being taken show that
storms rage upon the sun with violence
of which we can form no conception. Hur-
ricanes sweep over its surface with terrific
violence. Vast cyclones pits fires in
to whirlpools, at the bottom of which our
earth could lie, like boulder in a volca-
no. Huge flames dart out to enormous
distances, and fly over the sun with a
speed greater than that of earth itself
through space. At one time cone Of
fire shot out 80, 900 miles, and then died
away, all in ten minutes time. Beside
such awful convulsions, the mimic display
of terrestrial volcano or earthquake sinks
into insignifcance. There is nothing in
these phenomena to alarm us. They have,
in all probability. happened constantly
for ages past. That we have now means
of investigating their nature and measur-
ing their height and velocity furnishes nc
cause of anxiety. Rumors of these discov-
cries have crept into the papers, and, ex-
aggerated by repeated copying and sensa-
tional additions, have given rise to these
mysterious and uncalled-for predictions. P"

THE DIsENTHRALLED.
BY JOHN G. WHITTIER,

He had bowed down to drunkenness;
An abject worshiper
The pulse of manhood's pride had gone,
Too faint and cold to stir;
And he had given his spirit up
To the humblest thrall;
And, bowing to the poisoned cup,
He gloried in his fall.
There came q change-the cloud rolled off,
And light fell on his brain
And, like the passing of a dream
That cometh not again,
The shadow of his spirit fed,
He saw the gulf before
He shuddered at the waste behind,
And was a man once more.
He shook the serpent's fold away,
That gathered round his heart,
AS shakes the sturdy forest oak
Its poison vine apart
He stood erect-returnlng pride
Grew terribly within,
And conscience sat in Judgment on
His most familiar sin.
The light of intellect again
Along his pathway shone,
And reason, like monarch, stood
Upon its golden throne
The honored and the wise once more
Within his presence came
And fingered oft on lovely lips
His once forbidden name,
There may be glory in the might
That treadeth nations down
Wreaths for the crimson warrior,
Pride for the kingly crown;
But glorious is that triumph hour
The disenthralled shall find,
When evil passion boweth down
Unto the God-like mind.
