MICROBES OF BUTTER.

In the course of some bacteria
logical analysis, V. Storch has found
that "oily" butter contains varieties
of bacteria different from those of
other buffers, but has failed to iden-
tify any form rs the cause OF the pc
culiar qualities of this butter. In
''tallowy" butter was found def
mite organism, resembling that
which produces the souring of milk.
1t was demonstrated that milk IS
not sterilized thoroughly by boiling
ten minutes, but that repeated heat
ing to considerably lower tempera-
ture effectively destroys all germs.
About the middle Of February
last a northward migration of but
terfies over the Gulf OF Mexico was
observed at distance of five to ten
miles from the Florida coast. The
nearest land to the South being
Cuba and Central America, the ques-
ton is raised whether it is possible
for butterflies to fly SO far.
Carries has been produced artif-
cially in extracted teeth, and the
conclusion has been reached that
the disease is entirely due to exter-
nal agents and is in no way modified
by vital action.

THE MAGIC OF MODERN SCIENCE.

In paper on The Ignis Fatius
of Photography" Mr. F. Adolphe
mentions the following as among
the specialties which modern scien-
lists and chemists are seeking as a
means whereby their results may be
indirectly transmitted into gold /:
l. The artificial production OF the
diamond from carbon, which means
the crystallization of carbon. 2. A
prevention or cure for epilepsy and
consumption. 3. The complete
combustion of coal, of which but
five per cent is now available. I
Photography in natural colors. 5
The direct utilization Of solar heat,
and the ebb and food. 6. The
production Of ''attar of roses" from
some worthless substances. Even
the alchemist's original dream of di-
rect and genuine transmutation is
being revived, for the indications
are increasing that the present ele-
ments are not the simple substances
they have been supposed to be, and
should gold prove to be compound
its artificial production would be
but question of time.

when other medicines have failed. Again,
Bulls Sarsaparilla is frequently used after
the system has become poisoned by the

eliminates these mineral poisons from the

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE WAR BALLOON.

The latest type of portable captive
balloon weighs with gas generator
and winding drum, not more than
six or seven tons, and has capacity
varying from 1850 to 21,0Q0 cubic
feet. The gas-hydrogen-is pro-
duced by the decomposition of
water, at the rate of $3.50 to 10000
cubic feet per hour. The works
near Paris, at which these equip,
ments are turned out, will soon COM
plete the largest air-ship ever con-
structed. The immense balloon Of
the Paris Exhibition had a capacity
of 10000 cubic feet, and carried
j. persons; but the capacity of the
new one will be over 100000 cubic
feet, and it will be able to carry
160 passengers IN car 35 feet i'll
diameter. A still more extraordin-
qry product of these works will be
an aerial torpedo boat" which
has been ordered by the Russian
Government for secret experiment.
This is to be an elongated balloon,
ITO feet long, with a so horse power
engine, and is to be driven 25 miles
an hour by fan SO feet in diameter.

AN UNEXPLAINED EFFECT.


A remarble optical illusion was
shown by Prof. S. P Thompson at a
late conversazione of the London
Royal Society. On two rotating
discs were spiral patterns in black
and white, which seemed to move
radially inwards and outwards re-
spectively. On gazing fixedly for
about one minute at the centre of
one disc, and then suddenly trans
ferring his gaze to any object-say a
face-the observer saw that object
apparently charging from the mid
die outwards. After gazing similar
ly for minute at the second disc,
and then looking at any object, he
saw it apparently diminishing.

The following advertisement, published

disease as a punishment for sin:
''Do you wish to know the quickest

cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by a profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. In severe cases
there is a thin white coating on the

to take Cham berlain's g Cough Remedy in

A Bright Interpreter.

1t is doubtful if dream was ever more
ingeniously or more appropriately inter
preted than in the following brief story,
from Scotch paper. Indeed, the story
is sermon in itself:
A laborer at the Dundee harbor lately
told his wife, on awakening, curious
dream which he had during the night.
He dreamed that he saw coming toward
him four rats. The first one was yerv
fat, and was followed by. two lean rats,
the rear rat being blind.
The dreamer, who was superstitious,
was greatly perplexed as to what evil
might. follow, as he had been told that to
dream of rats denotes coming calamity.
He appealed to his wife concerning this,
but she could not help him. His son, a
sharp lad, who heard his father tell the
story, volunteered to be the interpreter.
'.The fat rat he said, 'sis the man
who keeps the public house, that We
gang till sac often, and the twa lean anes
are me and my mither, and the blind
ane is yerself, father"

The Open River Convention at Portland.
The board of trade last night appointed
Messrs. Hugh Glenn, B. F. Laughlin, M.
T. Nolan and G. J. Farley delegates to
the chamber of commerce convention to
be held in Portland tomorrow. The
president of the board, Mr.. A. S. Macal-
lister, also went down to participate. 1t
is expected this gathering of the bust
ness men of the Columbia river region
will centralize matters, so that it will
facilitate the opening of this great river
to free navigation.
Portland is more directly interested
today in this matter than her people
realize. The Union Pacific in making
their terminal point at Seattle in the
very near future is very significant and
our metropolitan city can be nothing
less than a way point en- route to the
sound. This outlook is quite humiliat-
ing to an old Oregonian but such is even

Their Own Graves.

The punishment which follows wrong
doing is sometimes so evidently just and
appropriate that it is natural to speak of
it as '.poetic Justice The penalty is not
only deserved, but is so nearly ada pied
to the offence as to seem almost ideal, or
poetical in it's fitness. Under this head
comes an order of General Scott's lately
printed in the Magazine of America1s
History.
General Scott was in command at
Rock Island when the cholera broke out
there, and after various injunctions in
this order as to sobriety and cleanliness,
he adds this curious paragraph
I'm addition to the foregoing, the SEN
ior surgeon present recommends the use
of flannel shirts, flannel drawers and
wollen, stockings; but the commanding
general who has seen much of disease,
knows that it is intemperance which, in
the present state of the atmosphere,
generates and spreads the calamity, and
that when once spread good and tenn
perate men are likely to take the infec-
ton.
"He, therefore, peremptorily COM
mands that every soldier or ranger who
shall be found drunk or sensibly intoxi-
Gated after the publication of this order
will permit, to dig grave at suitable
burying place, large enough for his sown
reception, as such grave cannot fail soon
to be wanted for the drunken man him
self or some. drunken companion. This
order is given as well to serve for the
punishment of drunkenness as to spare
good and temperate men the labor OF
digging graves for their worthless COM
| panions.'

monthly devotional meeting was held,
which was conducted by Mrs. S. French.
The Bible reading as given by her was
highly interesting and profitable to all
present; and led to the free Interchange
of views and ideas concerning the Sc

These meetings are open to all, and
we extend cordial invitation to all to
attend who are interested in meetings of
this character.
On the first Friday of each month at 8
p. m. devotional meetings will be held
at the Reading Room.
On next Friday afternoon the second
meeting of the month will be held, the
ject for discussion will be Circumstances

time for prompt action with regard to
placing an appropriate sign in front of

has been unduly postponed for some
time. But is now in the hands of an
efficient committee who will see that the
matter is looked after without delay.

TACOMA, WaSh., March 16, 1891.
This certifes that on the twelfth day
of October, 1871, the Board of Directors
of the Northern Pacific Railroad com
pany passed resolution inviting settle
ment and improvement of the agricult-
rual lands of said company, prior to
their being offered for sale, with the as
surance that such settlers or improvers,
as soon as the land should be appraised
and ready for sale, would have "the
first privilege of purchasing them upon
price such lands in such localities, which
will be fixed without reference to the
improvements:
"ProUided, such persons shall file in
the land Office of said company in the
district where said lands lie, written no.
tice of such settlement, and shall accept
the privilege upon the condition that
when the prices of the lands are fixed
and notice thereof is sent to his resi-
dence Or post-ofhce or otherwise, the
said person viii, within ninety daysfrom
the date of such notice, enter into a
regular contract with the com pany for
purchase of theilands, and If he fails to
do SO, the company may sell the lands to
any other person
That subsequently to-wit: on the
fourth day of January, 1875. another
resolution To the same effect was passed
by the said Board of Directors
That actual settlement ON the land was
not an essential requirement, but bona
hde improvement was a prerequisite to
securing any rights Hereunder;
That were the lands embraced in the
forfeiture provisions of the act of Sep
tember %, 1890, to be offered for sale by
the company, persons now in possession
or owning valuble improvements there
on, would be, under our existing policy
and practice, accorded preference right
of purchase, and would be notified and
allowed ninety days, to enter into con-
tract for the purchase of the same, in ac-
cordance with the terms of said resolu-
ton;
That the resolution referred to was re-
garded by me and by my predecessors
and all connected with the office, and
the public was frequently SO informed
by publication, correspondence and
otherwise, as constituting a general
license and invitation to all persons to
go upon and improve the agricultural
lands of the company prior to their be-
ing offered for sale, on the assurance that
preference right of purchase would be
accorded to the person found in posses
sion or having valuable improvements
thereon, when land was placed oh the
