HOW ALTAR OF ROSES IS MnDr


A Primitive System Of Distillatlon Car
ried on the Balkan Slopes.
1t is we'll known that the great center
of the production of altar, or otto, of
roses occupies the northern portion Of
the old Turkish province of eastern
Roumelia. The cultivation Of roses for
this purpose is, however, limited to the
southern slopes of the great Balkans,
as. according to the Kew Bulletin. the
flowers are nowhere produced success
fully on the north. The distillaLion Of
the petals is carried on In very priDl-
tive manner with a copper still of the
simplest construction. The first run
nings are returned to the still, and the
second are received into glass llosks.
where they are kept for day or two
at a cool temperature to allow the oil
to rise to the surface. From the latter
it is skinned by small tin pipette,
or funnel, with a long, slender handle
attached to the top and very small
aperture at the lower pointed end
This funnel Is not more than ia inch
in diameter at the widest part, so that
1t is easily inverted into the flask and
plunged below between the oily layer
and the water. 1t Is then az once
brought up, and 1t brings with 1t n
portion of the oily stratum with a small
quantity OF water The water escapes
through a,small hole at the bottom,
while the oil or otto is emptied into the
collecting TASKS for expectation. The
commercial altar is transferred TO fat
circular zinc receptacles known as
"coppers," which are carefully sewn up
in white felt and sealed with the ex-
porter's stamp, the brand being so steii-
ciled on the felt outside. Two OF these
coppers, one covered with the felt and
the other without, are contained i'll the
Museums Of Economic Botany at Kew,
and to these Messrs. Pierre and Lubin
have now courteously added speei-
men of the pipette or funnel for the
purpose Of making the collection more

AS regards the Identification Of the
plants cultivated for altar Of roses 1t
may be useful to mention that in 1874
the late Daniel Hanbury, f. r. s.,
presented to the Kew herbarium specl-
mems Of "roses cultivated on tn;
slopes OF the Balkans for the produc-
tion of altar of roses" received from
Vice Consul Dupuis, OF Adrianople.

cies. a red rose r. Damarcend Miller

Of these is known in wild state and
there can be little doubt that both are
hybrids between R. GalIica and r.

in the legislature this morning over

full inspection of the contraction dikes
built by the Port of Portland to see
what additions are needed, will be
necessary before the June rise. in or
der that the full benefit OF the flood in
the river may be secured. He found
the dikes all in good condition, but in
q few places the brush and stones have
settled, as may be expected to occur for
a year or two. Captain r. Hoyt, who
is adding to the dixie at st. Helens, will
have this job completed in few days,
and will then proceed to place what
stone and brush is necessary on the
the other dikes and level them up. The
high water In the Willamette has made
it necessary to lay up the dredgers for
the season, and 1t is not likely that
there will be any further demand for
their services until next fall. The new
and powerful government dredge will
be ready for service in June. and will
be put at work on the lower Columbia,
where the flood does not materially af-
feet the depth Of the water.

Tobacco Culture in Louisiana,

The experiments made in the cultiva-
ton of tobacco, last season. at the North
Louisiana Experiment Station, at CAL
hOun, were thoroughly successful.
From the three acres devoted to this ex-
pertinent ii magnificent yield of gold
c0lored tobacco leaves was obtained,
giving tiue cut smoking tobacco of su-
perior quality aud aroma. The tobacco
brought 80 cents per pound, realizing a
total gross sum per acre OF about $3.50.
This splendid result has enthuged a
number of enterprising farmers and
planters 10 various parts Of the State
and they will devote a considerable
acreage to tobacco culture this year.
Great credit is due to Prof. w. c. Stubs
and his able and Jealous assistant, Ma
jor Lee, for this precious demonstration
OF the capabilities OF the soil of our
North Louisiana hill lands, and their
successful experiment is likely to lead
our agricnlturists triumphantly out Of
the slough of dependency where the
low price of cotton had brought them.
Prof Stubs has been unremittipg in bis
labors to bring our State agricultural
stations to the highest condition of util-
ity and the good lie has already done ia
the cause of agricultural advancement
in Louisiana. is incalculable. We look
forward confidently to still greater
achievements from the scientific and
practical labOrs of Prof. Stubbs and the
agricultural stations that have been
created under his interchangeable direc-
ton. We hope to see more of them es-
tablished III tue State.
The possibilities in tobacco culture
alone, in Louisiana, are simply incalcu.

THE WORLDS FAIR,
Admission Money Received up TO
Date-Sunday Opening.

Chicago. May 13--The managers of
the Worlds Fair ate greatly d!sappoint-
ed by the small attendance down TO the
present time. The paid admissions are
reported officially as follows: May |
1896, May IS S93. May 3 81 ,274. May 4
t4,O95, May 5 800. May q 1869, May
s %, sol. May 8 16,122. May 10 1913, 346,
May II 1852, May II 1869.
Unofficial estimates place the paid ad-
missions to day at 10000.
The small attendance is attributed to
continued bad weather and the vide
advertisement Of the Fairs unfinished
condition,
Work has been rushed ia every DE-
partment, and favorable reports teie-
grabbed abroad are expected to have 4
stimulating effect on intending visitors.
To realize $1S,000,000 from admissions
during the Fair. the daily Attendance
must average 200.GOO visitors at fifty
cents each. Over S20,0000G0 have been
extended by the directors. This would
leave $2,0O0,O00 to be obtained from con-
cessionares before the company can
earn q penny. The big rush is expected
to begin next week and continue till DC
tober.
The Worlds Fair will be open every
Sunday, beginning May 81, and tie
price Of admission will be only twenty
five cents.
The effect will be beneficial on Fair
finances. 1t is estimated that 200, OOU
people will attend the first Sunday
opening, and that the number Will IN
crease as the summer advances.

A law to prevent the iDtermarriage of

forebodes evil to both of them, aud it
should not only not lie sanctioned by law,
but should he prevented in 80 far as
statute can preventit. Intermarriage is
a long stride in the direction of social
equality, aud social equality is some
thing to be opposed aud dreaded by
both whites and blacks. 1t is a matter
Of surprise that law of this character
has not been in existence ever since the
Democrats got possession of the State
government, and at the next session of
the Legislature no time should be lost in

on record on the question of negro suf-
frage in these words:

he surrender of frrty-seyen Of the
White Caps to Judge Chrisman may be
considered as ending that episode in
Mississippi affairs, and winding up the
White Caps as law breakers. The af-
fair has been thoroughly creditable
throughout, and we know OF no State
in the Union that could make a better
showing than Mississippi has done in
this matter. 1t is seldom that a conspi-
racy like this against the laws. which
includes 30 many thousand persons,
aud a majority OF the population in
eome portions of the State, has been so
completely suppressed, and that with
out q drop of blood being split. The
mere announcement of the law, the
declaration of the Governor of his in
ntion to enforce 1T, although backed
bv very little display of force, sufficed
to bring the law breakers to order, to
suppress their violence, and actually to
induce them to come forward and vol
unfairly surrender themselves.
A very strong appeal was made to
Judge Ckrisman in behal t Of the w hite
Cans. and it was explained that their
acts of violence and lawlessness were
due to miscUnCeption and ignorance.
Lawlessness nearly always results from
ignorance, and that is bad excuse for
il: but the law-breakers in this case
have undoubtedly won some sympathy
by prompt confession of their offense,
their voluntary surrender aud their plea
of guilty. Judge Chrisman dealt mel
cifnlly but properly with them by plac-
ing them under bonds to keep the peace
and to appear for trial at future day.
We do not imagine, however, that any
further trouble will ever arise from the
White Caps in Southwestern Mississip-
pi. The prompt, vigorous and brave
stand OF the authorities sufficed to COM
pletely suppress what threatened to be
an ugly riot aud dangerous outbreak.
It is.a strong argument in favor OF vigor
aud spirit on the part of tue authorities,
which in this case prevented riot and
blo0dshed, as they always will.
