Butter from Cocoanut Milk,

Within the last few months a new
trade has arisen in India and has at
tanned extraordinary dimensions. About
two years ago German chemist, DR..
Schlunk, discovered that excellent but
ter could be made from cocoanut milk,
1t is, according to a Bombay newspaper,
pleasant to taste and smell, of clear,
whitish color, singularly free from acids,
easily digestible, and an incomparably
healthier and better article of diet than
the cheap poor buffers and oleomar-
garines of European markets. The man.
ufacture is carried on in Germany, where
one firm turns out from 5000 to 4, 600
kilogrammes daily. The cocoanuts re-
quired are imported from India, chiefly
Bombay, in large and increasing num-
bers, and the trade seems likely to at.
tain still greater mportance.-,L London

upon the trough and fell into IN

How the Typewriter was ln-
vented

In connection with a friend, Sam
uel W. Soule, a printer and inventor,
c. L. Sho!es was engaged in Milwau-
kee during the winter of 1866 and
1867 in developing machine for
printing the numbers of pages ON
the leaves of blank books, after the
books were bound, and for printing
the serial numbers on bank notes.
Carlos Glidden, friend of Sholes
with an inventive fancy, took great
interest in the paging machine ana
asked why q similar cOntrivance
could not be made that would write
letters and words instead of figures
and numbers. The three men work
ed together upon this idea, but Sholes-
evolved the main part of the ma
chine. DE suggested pivoted types
set in a circle. The principal con-
tributioa OF Mr.. Glidden was his sug-
gestion that such q machine ought
to he made. In September. 1867. Q
machine was finished and letters
written with it. The invention was
far from being q perfect writing ma

james Dinsmore, of Meadville. re-,
SO interested him that he offered to
pay all The expenses up to date for @
one-fourth interest. His offer was
accepted. Soule and Glidden SUISSE
quently dropped out, leaving SEoies

ferred to the building and supply COM
mittees as Joint committee.
Mr.. Mcintosh, of the building COM
mittee, stated that it had been found
necessary to make a change in the
plumbing at the Alpine-street school,
There was no sewer on the street when
the contract was first let, but since that
time a sewer had been laid and the
committee recommended that the
change be made by connecting with that
sewer instead of digging cesspool. The
recommendation was adopted on motion
OF Mr.. Ellis, and the building committee
was authorized to carry it out.
Action upon the blackboard question
was deferred until the next meeting, as
the committee wished to investigate the
matter fully before reporting thereon.
Architect Preston recommended that
deafening material be put in between
the floors of the high school building, at
an estimated cost of 1866. AS that
necessary piece of work had been omit
ted from the contract the matter was re-
ferred to the building committee, with
power to act, Contractor Burleigh hav-
ing offered to do the work free of cost il
the board furnished the lumber and
nails necessary.
The board then adjourned.

Rice's Beautiful "Kvangeline."

at the Grand last night. Montague, the

neither is Fay Templeton. But for all
that the production is artistic. Geo. X .
FOrtesque is here in all his heshly glory,
He is the same indescribably funny fell
low as of yore, the first and still the
greatest of all the men in petticoats on
the stage. And he is never coarse.
Harry Kelly, the ''Chief of Police,' is
another show in himself Peter
f. DAILY, as "Blanky," injects no
end of quiet fun into a rather
thin role. He is good dancer too
Miss Yolande Wallace, the "Evange-
line" of the play sings well and makes
y good impression otherwise Miss Bes-
sic Tannehill, the "Gabriel' is another
very shapely and pretty girl.
James S. Maffit is there of course
He was left out of Ecangeline by the
writer of the play, but made this part
for himself and has played it from the
beginning. Time deals gently with
him, and he is as nimble as he was ten
years ago, and as full of his own quiet
humor.
The staging of the play is all that
could be desired. 1t is much better
than it was here couple of years ago.
The play is the only attraction in town
this week.
