IMPORTANT DIsCovERY.-lt IS announce
that Prof Weber, of the Chair of Agrlcn
tura, Chemistry of the Ohio State Unlver
sity, has just made an important discovery
in chemistry in connection with the micro
scopic tests to Distinguish oleomargari"e
from butter. Recently DR.. Thomas Tay'or,
ofthe Department ofAgricuiture, announc'
y, a meeting Of microscopes that butter
placed under microscope showed round
CRYSTAL. marked by plain cross, which
could BE- found no where else. Whsh ice
poarers are used with the microscope those
butter crystals, which are in reality oH'y
globules Of fat, show four parts each, t"o
green and two yellow. The chemical tess
to distinguish between butter and oleomaf-
garine is very delicate. The only difereLte
between the material, matters apprecl"De
to chemists being that butter contains a
small amount of butyTic acid which Is lack :
ing in the oleomarearine This test Is nov
always successful and as the difference WIS
likelf washed out By enterprising oleomar-
garine manufacturers, DR.. Taylor's oiscoV-
ery was heralded far and wide, ana the
test was adopted where known. froI.
Weber has discovered that the mixing OF
little water and salt with tie oleomargarlne,
q process it always undergoes, causes the
hopus butter 10 develop under the micro
scoDe exactly such "crystals' rs are found IN
the legitimate article and the same result
can be obtained with pure talloW treated IN
like manner. This discovery destroys IN
measure the usefulness of Or. Taylor's dis
coyery and strengthens the position OF the
oleomargarine manufacturers.

Nest of q TArantula.

A tarantula's nest is owned by citi
zen of Rome, Ga, who found it Will,
travelling through Nevada. Its exterior
is earth, and at the first glance it has tn,
appearance on the outside Of a potato
being about four inches long and an incl
in diameter. The tarantula, which is q
species of spider, makes this nest b,
scooping pit in some dry, uncultivate,I
soil, and spinning a sort of web around
the inside. The web is very closely spur
and forms coating perhaps an eighth OF
an inch in thickness. The entrance Il
the pit is protected by round corner OF
door. which is fastened to one side by Q
hinge or spider-web. The tarantula sit,
near the entrance to his nest watching
for prey, which he carries, when cap
tured, into the pit TO be devoured.-Chi

Origin Of q Sponge Plantation.

fused to know an old FISHERMAN in
New London who had quite museum
II sponges which he had raked up from
the bottom of the sound. They were too
mail and ligneous in character to have
my commercial value, but he had a
theory that better and more useful
sponges could be planted where he had
found them, and cultivated to profit.
Being poor man, he never made the
experiment. Some one else did, though,
and there is a sponge plantation at
btratford point, Conn.,, whare a SUBJ
merged reef is planted with the animals,
brought from Florida. They fiourished
rapidly, i am assured, and, though some
what coarse in fiber, have an extensive
commercial value. s, we may expect
some day to see the stony shore from
Stamford to the Rhode Island line en-
powered in sponges, and the sturdy
Iobster-catchers, who are complaining of
the steady disappearance of their shelly
game, finding another source of revenue
h the Holsters haunts.-New York
News "Babble."

What Became of the Gifts

A little peasant girl in Italy knitted a
pair Of stockings and sent them as q
present to Queen Margherita on her fete

queen sent the girl in return another

coin, the other bon-bcns, and note ask
ing her to say which Of the stockings
gave her the more pleasure. Dear
Madam the queen" wrote the child In
reply, Il have had nothing but trouble
with the stockings. My father took the
