The problem of the drainage of towns where there are system of water works in operation is every year assuming a graver aspect, as there are every year numbers of towns constructing them. Generally, a town of 5000 or 10, 600 population finds it 8 burden to construct the works, and is practically powerless to build 8 sewerage system to carry off the water brought in. The result is that the soil gradually be- comes so saturated with the waste water and the sewage that it Is g fertile generator of disease germs of various kinds. The truth and importance of this proposition needs no dempnstration if it did, 1t would only be necessary to point to the little town of Plymouth, Pa, where hundreds have fallen victims to typhoid fever, in- duced by a soil saturated with sewage. There are good number of towns in this country that have. pnt in elaborate and costly systems of water works during the past five years, but only few--we can at this moment recall but one-haye made any provision for the proper disposal of the resulting sewerage. In several the matter has been agitated and plans pro- posed and adopted, but mo sewers built. It cannot be many years before this neg- lectfnl policy will bear bitter fruit in the shape of malaria, or more virulent disease i; nor can it be very long before the legisla- ture will find it necessary, in the interest of public health, to couple with it's grants of charters for water works an obligatory provision for sewers.

niblted deep rich crimson scarlet
color. He then tested the new sub

several hours undergoing the chemi-

experiments he had discovered that
cotton seed oil subjected to the action
of sui paurie acid gave similor tInge
Of color. Other experiments demon
strated that he had new substitute
for butter To deal with, viz, cottoH>
seed oil and lard compounds. This
compound is sometimes known as
butterine. 1t contains a very large
proportion of oil, which keeps the
fatty crystals in solution or in hom-
ogeneous condition. He was aware
from the experiments of several years
previous that butter, when boiled, on
cooling, exhibited crystals of fatty
acids. He determined to take advan-
tage Of that fact, and proceeded to
boil the new butter substitute with
the view of producing crystals in it.
the crystals proved to be those of
swine fat, dark in color, stellar in
form, with numerous small particles
in the center, and by acid test the oil
was shown to be that of cottonseed.
THE TEST OF PURE BUTTER.
Since then he has made many new
experiments with known pure butter
received from several states, butter
sent directly from farmers to their re
laticns IN this city. Procuring small
samples of these, he boiled them for a
few seconds only, and one at a time,
putting them in a cold place to crys-
tallize. On subjecting these samples
to the action of polarizing prisms he
discovered that ali of them exhibited,
when viewed under the miscroscope
with plain light transmitted in the
field Of view, translucent bodies of
fatty crystals, but when viewed uQder
polarzed light a well-defned cross,
with arms of equal length, resembling
that known as St. Andrews cross.
was observed on every gobular crys-
tai, aud on the rotation of the polariz-
er the black cross revolved in like
manner. Old butter treated in the
same way gives bright rosetta form
and rotates in like manner. He also
further observed that the crystals of
beef, lard and other fats are of fiat,
stellar form. but exhibited in no case
the appearance OF a cross; neither do
they rotate as described. In this way
may an expert detect pure butter from
oleomargarine or other substitutes for
butter. Professor Taylor says he is

description of his experience for pub

great abundance; also gold and silver
and valuable stones, such as am

was $500, 600. The climate of the ter

He was among the first who took
special interest in whist, and after it
became a craze he devoted several
years of his life to teaching the game
at d guinea lesson. Some supposed
that he invented the game, but it was
well known before he was born.
However, he did much to perfect it.
He was paid $4,000 for treatise on
whist, which was published in 1743.
At the time he was attached TO a gov

Some Interesting Facts Concerning
This Territory.
To the Editor of the Inter Ocean:
LEIPsIC, Ohio.
Give a description OF Alaska, of its
people, its coast. population, extent,
natural resources, climate, govern
ment, etc. D. A. MCCLURE.
Answer.--The enormous extent of
our northwest territory is but little
appreciated by most readers. It's
length from north to south is as great
as the distance from Maine to Florida
and from it's eastern boundary to the
end of the Aleutian Islands is as far
as from Washington City to Califor-
MA. Its area comprises $50, 40 square
miles, Or nearly one-sIxth of the
entire area of the United States, ex
elusive of this, her latest territory.
its coast line measures over 5000
miles. In 1880 the census showed the
the population to be 80, 178, of whona
10, 448 were native Esquimaux, s, 655
Indians. 1. 663 half-breed. and 392
whites. Recent investigation has
shown the natural resources of Alaska
to be much greater than was at first
supposed. Its principal river, the
Yukon. may be ranked among the
largest rivers of the United States, be-
ing rs miles wide across it's five
mouths and their intervening deltas,
and from one to five miles wide for
the first thousand miles of its course.
It is known to be navigable for 1. 500
miles. The land abounds in fur bear
ing animals; the seas yield fur bearl
ing seals and others, and fish in many
varieties and immense quantities.
Over 3, 900 tons of Goldfish are take an
nually for the trade with San Francis
co alone. Several salmon canneries
have been established, which are dos
ing prosperous business. TIE bust
ness of seal hunting is entirely in the
hands of the Alaska Commercial
Company. This company secured ia
1870 by act of Congress monopoly of
this business for twenty years. They
are not allowed, by the act, to kill the
animals except during certain months
in the year, nor more than specified
number annually. In this manner
the reckless extirpation of this valu>
