The Press and the Worlds Fair.

The position of the press Of Oregon
with the exception Of few dis.
gruutled editors who are deeply sunk
In the mire of mossbackism or have
some fancied personal grievance to
nurse---on the question Of proper
representation Of the state at Chi
cxgo is one most credltable to its
intelligence aud enterprise. 1t
strongly endorses two positiors held
by the West Shore, first, that the
legislature should make large APP
preparation, and second, that some
form of organization must be had at
once for the purpose of outlining a
plan for the information anu guld-
ance Of the legislature In making its
appropriation. This latter move
ment Is vitality necessary to the sue
cess Of the former.
1t il utter folly to expect a large
appropriation from the legislature
unless q comprehensive plan of all
exhibit calling for the expenditure
II the suni asked, be presented for
tile consideration of the Legislators.
That body will not vote q large sum
II money without knowing just
what Is to be done with it. There
an be no "blind pool" scheme
worked at Salem. Plans, sufficient
~ arranged in their details to show
what will be the general nature of
he exhibit, the method of its malt
agemeDt, the approximate cost aud
the probable results, must be laid
before the house, the senate and the
governor, If anything satisfactory is
to be accomplished. 1t is well
enough tor organized bodies to pass
resolutions, for they show tie DRIFT
of public sentiment on the subject
aud show the representatives of the
people that there is "a general call
for action, but nothing practical can
be accomplished without organized
effort and intelligent and diligen,
labor. The time Is short, and none
can be wasted. The legislature will
assemble i'm ten weeks.
Not only Is it of vital importance
that the legislature shall know just
what disposition is to he made of the
$50, 900 to be asked for, but it must
also know. aud decide, who snail
disburse the money. An Organiza-
ton of representative citizens wi
command more respect and conf
deuce from the legislature and the
public than any possible executive
or legislative appointees. Public
confideuce is an essential element of
success, since both financial and
personal aid will be required from
the people of every section Of the
state. Let the people feel that they
are doing this thing themselves,
through the medium of agents
selected by them, and enthusiasm
will prevail; otherwise the usual
public apathy will initiate against
the complete success Of the move
ment. This is exemplitied by the
absolute lack of appreciation of the
Importance of this subject existing
few weeks ago, which, happily, is
now changed to widespread inter
est in the success Of the endeavor.--

The Salem board Of trade met In
their rooms In the Central block
last evening with President John G.,
Wright In the chair and fair Atten-
dence of members. Louis Kuhn
was elected to membership by AL
unanimous vote under the suspen-
sion of the rules. The secretary
read his report for the mouth Of
October which showed that 392
letters had been received, and 2ll
written; 4o5 Salem papers had been
mailed and 1850 pieces Of advertising
matter had been mailed to parties IN
tue East last month. The question
Of selecting the four delegates
to the state board of trade at Port
land. On motion of J. II. Albert,
John G. Wright was appointed the
delegate at large from this board.
The chairman was authorized to
have the other three members Sc
lected by the nlesiing. 1t WAS de-
c.deu to dispense with the agent oi
this board ut Portland. A vote Of
thanks was extended to Mr.. Alfred
savage, for his services. Several
bills were read aud ordered paid.
The matter or purchasing birdseys

the committee on advertisement
with power to act.
The following resolution was Of
ferei by Mr.. E. VI. Waite:
Resolved, That It Is the sense Of
this board that the city council

We do that every dollar expended
will eventually he lost to Us; and
that no further sum or sums be paid
until some reliable plan tor q sub
stautial pier has been obtained and
adopted.
This resolution were thoroughly
discussed by six or eight memoers,
who were present, before the
board was called to order. Their
was q strong sentiment then in favor
of the resolutions, aud Mr.. Waite
was asked to read them. But when
they were read, the enthusiasm Of
some of the members, that an hour
before WIS boiling over, had cooled
down, until they seemed afraid to say
anything in the presence Of the rep
resentauves OF the press. A motion
was made to lay the resolution on
the table, but did not prevail. Then
an attempt Was made to adjourn,
but was voted down. The motion
to adopt the resolution not meeting
with 4 second no action was taken.

G.s Only ReasSr..

A certain little boy who took an ocean
voyage was sure he should enjoy it from
beginning to end. At the close of the fifth
day, however, the monotony of scene and
occupation began to pail upon him, and he
grew decidedly fractions.
Don't you want to go down stairs and
take nap?' asked his mother gently.
Been asleep once today, " said he GROSSLY.
"Sick of sleeping
Run over 10 those little girls, then, and
see them cut out paper dolls"
ooh, I'm sick of girls and dolls
"There is a sailor splicing rope. Why
don't you go and watch him."
Sick of it"
"Wel!, it seems to me you're tired Of
everything on board"
Yes, am, mamma. I've got every kind
of sick but seasick, and the only reason
I'm not tired of you is that l used to know
you when we were on dry land. Youths

Detection of OIeo in Butter.

DR.. Thomas Taylor, microscopic of the
United States department of agriculture,
proposes the following new method of de-
teCting OleO in butter: Dissolve in twenty
cubic centimeters of petroleum benzine lao
grains of mixture of oleo and butter. Heat
slightly to secure a perfect solution of the
fats. Cassine and animal tissues may be
readily removed by passing the liquid
while warm through fine muslin. Fill a
test tube with the solution and place in
ice water. In about twenty minutes the
cleo fats will separaAy from the butter fat
and fall to the bottom ofthe tube, being in
soluble in cold benzine, while the butter
fat will remain in solution in the benzine.
Separate the oleo fat from the liquid but
ter fat by filtration. The fat recovered
may be solidified by mechanical pressure,
placing it between several layers of bibu-
lous paper to absorb the remaining ben
zine, after which the sheet of solid Oleo
may be removed from the paper with a
palette knife. The butter may be recov-
cred by cooperating the benzine by means
of a sand bath.-New York Telegram.

loved so well and became shelved war
riOr-full of scars and glory, before he
had reached one-half of mans three-score-
and-ten years. And thus it was that the
soldier became an author. After his re-
tiTement he held several important civil
and military commissions, and became
identified prominently with the national
guard, in which he is still very much in
tereSted.
In Capt. Kings study, where he
writes his stories, there is the veritable
Navajo blanket in which his soldiers
bundled or carried him down the noun
tain side after receiving his wound at
Sunset Pass. There, too, can be seen
the pictures in uniforms of many of the
heroes of his stories. Shoulder straps,
sword belts, forage cap and buckskin
leggings are suspended from the walls
There are thousand and one other cuyi-
Gus things picked up by the captain dur
ing his army life. On the wall is fine
portrait of Gen. Rufus King, and near
by is the magnificent presentation sword
owned by the soldier writer's distin-
guished father. Altogether it is home
of refinement and taste. Capt. King
and the lady who won the Metaire

Boring Snails.

Naturalists have long been acquainted
with those enterprising sea urchinS which
cut their way into hard rocks. Urchins
provided with a boring apparatus have
been found on the shores of France, Eng
land, Algeria, the Azores, the India ISL
ands, California, Panama, Australia, Maui
ritius and recently on the island of Grand
Manan, n. B. 1t seems that they share
their talent with some of the snails. The
snails, of course, bore rocks out of water.
A block of compact, blackish gray lime
stone was recently sent from Constantine
to the Academy of Sciences in Paris. The
stone was riddled with hemispheriCal per
foratons At the end of each of these
small arched passages slept snail, Helix
aspersa.
The specimen was put in the museum
gallery of geology in October. The jour
ney from Algeria had not disturbed its
tenants, and they passed quiet winter.
One day in May while the stone was being
sketched they suddenly reused themselves,
came out and would have crawled away
had they not been captured.
A scientist decided the question as to
whether they secreted an acid which cor
roded the stone, or cut their way by means
of hard sharp structures in the feet, in this
way He killeda snail by holding it under
water, took it from it's shell and put it into
sulphuric acid. All the animal substance
of the snail was rapidly carbonized and dis
solved by the acid. This was washed away
with water, and hard, insoluble SUBJ
stance was left.
The hard, irregular grains were evident
ly flint. There was of course no indication
as to where in the body of the snail they
had been, but it is reasonable to suppose
that they composed the structure by which
he had bored holes in the limestone
