oLEoMARGARrNE AND BUTTER.
Decided Difference of Opinion Between
Two Experts.


Decided Difference of Opinion Between
Two Experts.
Washington Special
There is decided difference Of opinion be
tween two Swans OF the agricultural depart
ment on the subject of oeomargarine Dr.
Thomas Taylor. the microscopst of the depart
ment has been for more than year studying
fats under the microscope He has done more
than any other ono man, perhaps. to break up
the sale of oleomargarine in the District of
Columbia under the name OF butter. He made
q discovery by which he can infallibly tell pure
butter under the microscope, and can as
infallibly tell the moment any oils or fatty
substance are mixed with the butter. Butter,
he says, has a clearly marked St Andrews
cross while the fats have q stellar appear
ance. The Doctor was Senator Warner
Miller's sheet anchor, and testified before his
committee several times. He claims that but
ter melts at the temperature of healthy human
blood. while fats, especially tallow, must be
heated to 114o Fair. He says that strong,
healthy person may eat oleomargarine perhaps,
people with weak digestion will be seriously
affected by il.
For the past few months Prof H w. Wiley,
the chemist of the department, has been busily
engaged Analysing the various substitutes for
butter. He says that his work ia of purely
scientific nature and he does not care to prove
or disprove any theories He has had large
number of samples from Armour & Co., of Chi
cago, and he has carefully analysed them. He
says that the best limitations are as clean and as
healthy, so far as he can see as real butter He
thinks that it should be properly labeled, and
the ingredients should be made known, as many
of the leading firms now do, and then he can see
no harm in such people buying it as wish to do
30. Professor Wiley received FIVE more samples
to-day from Armour g Co.. and will proceed

How Far Could the Earth be Seen?

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
NJ R. Y. asks difficult question at least one
which I do not feel competent TO answer with
much certainty, viz: 'What is the greatest dis.
lance at which the earth might be seen by an OBJ.
server without an instrument" Mars, when
pretty nearly its furthest from the earth-two
hundred million miles-can be seen as rather
dim star. Perhaps it could be seen twice as far.
Now Marss diameter is little more than hall
the earth's diameter; hence its disk. or face. is
somewhat more than one-fourth large as the
earth's, so the earth would reflect nearly four
times as much sunlight which would make it
visible nearly four times as far; only the inten.
sity OF light diminishes with distance. Uranus,
much larger than the earth, can be seen 1, 700-
100000 miles. Suppose, however, we conclude
that the earth might be seen about half this far,
say SOC. 000, 900 miles. w. DAWSON.

The Anti-Liquor Question.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
Since the meeting of the temperance Republic
ans in this city much has been said about the
influence of the sentiments of this meeting on
the success of the Republican ticket this fall,
some assuming that local option, if incorporated
in the platform, would make the defeat of the
party almost certain while others have ex-
pressed an opposite opinion and contended that
this step forward will add strength to our ticket
Now, sir it is not at all certain that the State
convention will take local option into its articles
of faith. Your correspondent is OF the opinion
that public sentiment demands of the party
some unequivocal expression on this ever -recur-
ring question; but he was one of the number who
did not think it quite proper to express any opin-
ion as to what kind of legislation it was proper
to specify. We are yet of the opinion that it
would have been better to have only resolved
that the temperance Republicans Of the State of
Indiana are opposed to what is called the
Liquor League" and an unrestrained manufact-
ure and sale of intoxicating drinks; that they
are in favor of such legislation as will save
our young men from becoming drunkards, and
which will, as the same time, arrest the tide of
dissipation that is sweeping the dram-drinkers
into drunkards' graves. This would be taking
a position that every man could accept who is
not ready to declare himself an enemy to sobri
ETY., which no man who claims to be citizen of
responsibility will do. This would save the
party from the necessity of meeting any real or
supposed objections that can be brought against
local option any other legislation that has
been made for the suppression of dissipation,
and at the same time it would be contendng for
the principles upon which all such legislation is
founded and by which 1t is authorized Then
leave the details to be settled after have car
ried the election and have power to make such
enactments as will consumate the ends we have
in view. One thingis very evident in connec-
ton with any anti-liquor movement. which is
that any campaign upon avowed temperance
platform is odious to a large number Of voters
who would sanction an ant-liquor and anti-sa-
loon movement and who oppose dissipation and
the Liquor League, but get excited whe never
you mention temperance prohibition. We
are also quite confident that if the position here
specified, or something equivalent to it. is taken
by the Republican party and the question is
canvassed thoroughly by competent speakers
and by the many able Republican journals. the
people will indorse it overwhelmingly. When
ever the liquor question is properly presented to
the people, and its ruinous consequences is truth
fully stated. the people will decide against it.
The anti drink sentiment is growing everywhere
throughout the United States, and public senti-
ment will in time, reach prohibition in come
form of positive law He who is not content to
wait for this will fret away unavailing efforts
and reap fruitful crop of disappointment
