Testing Bogus Butter.


The Cincinnati Enquirer gives an illus
trated description of certain instruments
used in the detection of imitation or
fraudulent butter, which are thus de-
scribed:
They consist of an ordinary drop gas
light, over the chimney of which is
placed small wire netting about two
inches square. On the top of this is
placed n tin cup about four inches high
called the heating cup For the pur-
pose of making test to determine
whether the substance is oleomargarine
or butter the heating cup is filled with
water, which is heated to 90 or 100
degrees. Then agraduated narrow glass
tube, graduated into ten parts, each rep
resentIng five-sixteenths of an inch, and
known as degrees, the lowest degree
being divided INTO five parts, each, of
course, representing one-sixteeDth, is
filed with the sui stance and placed in
the heating-cup. When a curd appears
remove the tube from the source of that
and let it stand ten minutes.
The pure butter shows three degrees
or more of cheese, which sticks to the
bottom of the tube, and resembles
schmier-kase or cottage cheese. The
remaining contents of the tube are COM
posed of fat, and are perfectly transpa
rent and a beautiful amber color. In
fact, in the specimen of pure butter
shown, one could see to read through
the transparent fat.
The bogus butter, on the other hand,
which, before it was submitted to the
test, would fool almost anyone, had a
beautiful yellowish color. Submitted to
the test there was no cheese visible, and
the fat was opaque, turbid and ropy
There was glue sticking to the sides of
the tube and small particles of Jelly
swimming in the water. The water was
at the bottom and contained Tactic and
generally mineral acids. So much for
the tests and their appearance. The
test was so complete that anyone seeing
it would be convinced.
1t is said by chemists that this so-called
poor mans butter contains two acids
butyric and oxalic. The former pro-
duces irritation of the bowels and rheu-
matte pains, while the latter is known
as a rank poison, having often been
taken for suicidal purposes. This is not
all. Where particles of this bogus
butter are given the microscopic test
there are discovered myriads of horri-
ble-looking, creeping, crawling, wriggling
organisms, known as infnsoria, which
are of vegetable and animal origin, and
closely allied to the germs supposed to
be the cause of infectious diseases.
The Enquirer says that bogus butter
can be detected by the smell of tallow if
it is very bad. If hot, heating a knife
blade in hot water and running it into
the alleged butter will bring out the
tallow smell, more strongly.

Cook county, Ill.,, last fall elected a
blind man to the State Legislature. His
name is James O'Counor He is a
musician, and is probably the first blind
man in the United States elected to a
legisl tive trust. He lost his eyesight
by the explosion of fowling piece in
1874, and was previous to that accident
marine engineer on the Mississippi
river. Afterward he turned his atten-
ton to music, and was able to earn his
own living by that. He is thirty-eight
years old. Justice, they say, is blind,
but it remains to he seen whether Mr..
O'Connor is more exemplary legislator
than his fellows.-Erchange.
Mr.. 0'Connor Is not the first blind
man ever elected to legislative trust.
One of the three Representatives of
Noxubee county, Miss, in the Legisle-
lures of 1854 and 1886, was a blind man,
Hon. James L Clemens. an the last
Legislature he was Chairman of the
House Committee on Benevolent Insti-
tutions, and on most questions before
the Legislature could s'seen through q

W. z. Morrison.

The worst that malignants, such as
the Picayune's correspondent can do in
the interest of the Protectionist, cannot
smirch w. r. Morrison. He is one of the
greatest leaders of the Democracy; he is
the friend of the people who sought to
strike him down; he is patriot and
statesman, and, though he be not in the
Fiftieth Congress, his spirit will be
there and his voice will be heard and
his presence felt in the discussion of the
great question of revenue reform until
it shall be settled on sound, political
principles.-N. o. States.
