Dr. Vaughn Discovers the nntter Secret.
DR.. vanghn's greatest discovery is one
of which the world knows nothing. Aft
er a series Of long Investigations and ex-
periments he discovered and developed
the alkaloid which, being created in
cream or milk BY chnrning, produces
butter, and he has been invited to make
exhibition at the Worlds fair of the re-
suits Of these experiments. He will take
a bottle or can of fresh milk, place in it
some of these alkaloids. and it win inn
mediately develop butter as perfect and
az healthful as that which comes from
churning. 1t is q discovery in which
there is nothing Of a pecuniary value to
DR.. Vaughn. for it is simply a discovery
of one of the mysteries of nature. But
in its way it is regarded by scientific men
S quite as important as were the microbe
discoveries of Pasteur and Virchow.-

remain the most notable illustration Of
Mr., Olmstead's genius, not only because
Of its rare beauty and costlinepSh but
also because Of the rapidity with which
the work. was done and the great execu-

park commissioners were unanimous in
selecting his plans from among 83 sub

him to superintend the work Of carrying
them out. This, because of political
iexigencies, had to be done very quickly

discipline and secured efficiency and
economy unprecedented in public enter

ELDER GEORGE POTTS. and unostenta-
tious. In the country they go from
house to house, holding meetings where
ever they can gain admission. In the
cities they generally hire an obscure
hall, and their preaching has got to be
alarmingly effective before much notice
is taken of it by the public at large.
They all teach doctrines that they claim
were revealed to Joseph Smith. but are
divided on the question of polygamy.
Those from Salt Lake try to per-
suade their converts to go 10 Utah,
while the antipolygamists generally con
tent themselves with trying to establish
churches in the neighborhood where they
preach.
A band OF IA Salt Lake apostles"
has been laboring in Hanover county,
Va, for the past two years. They be-
gan operations in Louisa county, but
were driven away by the miners there,
after which they went to Spottsylvania
county and thence to Hanover. Most of
them are young men and unmarried,
but some of them are upward of so
years old. They admit their belief in
polygamy, but claim that they do not
preach or practice it because of It's ille-
gality.
Brooklyn has u church of 20 anti
~polygamous Mormons, who hold services
in Epworth hall every Sunday, but are
trying to buy an old Congregational
church. This flock is under the care Of
Elder George Potts, an Englishman of
an intensely earnest disposition, a de-
vout believer in the Book of Mormon
and a devoted worker in his peculiar
ministry. The society publishes three
papers. a weekly called The Saints Her
aid, a monthly called Autumn Leaves
and a Sunday school paper called lions
Hope.
Elder Potts claims that the "Reorgan-
lied Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints" of which his congregation
is a branch, numbers about 30, 900 mem
beers under the presidency Of Joseph
Smith and has churches in PHILADELPHIA !,

later another American, G. Robinson,

OF Siam, as well rs to her enlightenment

tim Thomas Miller, at present a resi-.
dent OF New York city, introduced and
applied the steam engine TO several diff

Miller built the first steam sawmi1l in
