MILTIADEs TURNS ASTRONOMER.
Professor Miltiades Peterkin Paul,

And long piece of stove-pipe Chat black

In the most shocking manner) with left arm
While an old wooden saw horse was clasped
In fact, in complete scientific array,
Might have been seen, one afternoon, making
his way
With all possible speed toward a small knoll
that stood
In the South Meadow Lot, near the edge of the
wood.
At length, with his traps having climbed to
the summit
OF the knoll (and the view was most excel
lent from it,
He planted his saw horse with scrupulous
care,
And, laying the stove pipe across it, cried
"There!
There's telescope, fine as you ever set eyes
on!

Let me see. Yes; guess now it points about
right
We will ascertain what constellation's in
sight,
So, the telescope pointing straight up at the
sky,
He seated himself on the ground, with his
eye
Applied to the opening. Then, all in min
Ere he really had gotten good look with
in it,
He leaped to his feet with cry of dismay.
"Whew'" he murmured, with awe, "hat was
one, L should say!
Why, it seemed to be all teas, so far's could
see,
And terrible monster, too What could it
be?'
In a moment, recovering his courage bit,
Our hero, with caution took another look
at it.
Yes, there it was still in the sky there a
SO monstrous it filled up completely the
ring
That bounded his vision-so horrid and vast
That Professor Miltiades stood quite aghast,
Though still he gazed on in a strange fascina-

Just then his big brother came into the lot,
So Mitiades called him at once to the spot.
II W1Sh JOhn Henry JACK, you would come
here" cried he,
"And tell me what this constellation can be.
am sure it's most unaccountable sight,
With its great ugly legs, aud it's skin black as
night.
That it's Cancer, the Crab, have scarcely
doubt
Though do not quite see what the creatures
about"
So John Henry Jack, wondering what it could
That his brother had found in the sky, came
to see;
But the moment the object encountered his
gaze, he
Jumped up and stood laughing as if he were
crazy.
"Well,'' cried he, Herr Professor, really
must say
You appear to be very far sighted to day.
Why, your cluster of stars of such uwonted
stripe
Is-a big spider, spinning it's web in the pipe.''

origin Of Gold Nuggets.

Professor Thomas Egleston read a
paper a short time ago before the
members of the New York Academy
Of Sciences, on the origin OF gold mug
gets aud alluyial gold nuggets he
said that all placer deposits were IL
sands which were alluvial, and were
of two kinds, shallow and deep. The
deep placers Of California average 80
to 40 cents per quarter yard Ihe
time would come when the tailings
which are now wasted would be
worked to greater advantage than
much Of the lighter deposits. In
discussion with j. L. Newberry, Pres
ident Of the Academy, Professor Egle-
ston affirmed the solubility of gold,
and stated that the large nuggets were
formed by process Of chemical deposit
The speaker exhibited large number
of Walls containing gold combined
with it's amalgamates, the result OF
many months experiment, which Illus
trated the theory Of chemical deposits.

SINCE tho extensive manufacture OF
olcomargarine, an artificial butter,
many questions have naturally arisen
as to its wholesomeness, hence a few
words regarding this new production,
its properties and mode Of manufac-
ture, are in order. The opinion Of
most chemists Of eminence who have
given the subject their attention, is
that it il as wholesome an article OF
diet as natural butter. 1t is made
from the fat Of animals, which having
been rendered in such manner as to
make il quite pure, odorless and taste
less, it is churned with milk, etc, by
which process it is converted to the
consistency Of and appearance of ordi-
binary butter. When ready for market
the chemical composition Of the pro
duct is essentially the same as that
made from cream, and in most instan,
ces could not be detected from the

paid are shamefully low. Two-thirds
of them here are from the East with

find work. One section is as bad as
