FOR SUGAR AND BUTTER.
Substitutes That Have Been Discover
ed by Scientists.

Substitutes That Have Been Discover
ed by Scientists.
/. A discovery of more than ordinary inter-
est has been recently made in the Kent
laboratory at the Chicago University. A
rev compound has been found which has
sweetening powers in excess of those pos
sessed by saccharine, which has hitherto
been considered the sweetest substance
known to chemists.
While working upon series derived from
the coal tar products. DR.. H L. Wheeler
happened to touch his pencil to his tongue.
He was astonished to- find that 1t had
very sweet taste. Upon looking about him
for the cause, DR.. Wheeler found that he
had done some writing on a piece Of filter
paper upon which there was a very small
quantity of the maferiA which he had been
the matter. and he found that after
taste like that of ncorice was noticeable.
Candy makers and druggists who have
examined the new; chemical say it will
prove valuable in many ways.
Making Bufter-From Whey.
An interesting bulletin just issued by
Cornell University agricultural experiment
station describes anew process of making
butter from whey. In the process of cheese
making a small percentage of fat escapes
the whey. The Cornell experts were led to
believe that this fat could be utilized in the
form of commercial butter. Accordingly,
January 10. 1885," the bulletin says. 1--WE
began to run the whey from the cheese
making regularly through the separators.
and We have been successful in securing a
large portion of the fat in the whey in the
form Of commercial butter of good quality
This butter has been scarcely, il any, in
ferior to that made from cream separated
from whole milk, and it has been sold in
the same market with our best butter"
Good judges who have seen the two kinds
of butter side by side have been in some
cases unable to detect which was made
from whey and which from cream. In
and flavor has been noticed in the whey
butter That it Is possible to make butter
of good commercial quality by the use Of
this method is claimed to have been clear
ly demonstrated

The Mikado Took Affairs Into His

The steamship Sikh, fourteen days from
Yokohama, has arrived at Victoria, B. C.
The Associated Press correspondent, writ
ing March 81, says:
The subject of Ii Hung Changes long tel
egrams to Picking en- March % is now
known. Before his departure from China
the japanese had siknifed in emphatic lam
guage that no proposal for an armistice
could be considered At the conference, but,
Notwithstanding Their admonition, the en-
voy pleaded earnestly for this boon that
Count Ito and Viscopnt Mu Tou finally con-
scented to name certain conditions upon
which temporary suspension of military
movements might be granted.
These conditions were. that the Taku forts
should be Immediately occupied by a Jap
anese force, and the control of the railway
from Shan Hal Kwan and Tien-TSin sur
rendered. 1t is reported that Ii displayed
greater anxiety with regard to the truce
than concerning the ultimate provisions for
peace
The response of the Chinese court to the
Japanese proposition is not known, for the
emperor at Hiroshoma suddenly took the
his own hands. He summoned Count Ito
to an audience. and announced his volun-
tary concession an armistice without
Imposing conditions of any kind, in order
to show his consciousness of the annoyance
and embarrassment suffered by the ambas-
sailors in consequence of the delay in the
regulations

A RAIL RIO A w AR
The Seacoast Line Makes q Second
Gut.
Rates Between Atlanta and New York
Two Dollars Lower Than They
Were Saturday.

The Seaboard line has done 1t again.
Today another 81 cut on rates went into
effect, the general passenger agent of the
line having filed with the interstate COM
merce commission a schedule making
further reduction from the former cut. 1t
was reported that the reduction would only
work one way, on tickets from southern
points northward. This is not so, however,
as the cut is two-edged and works both
ways. The rate from Washington to At
lanta is made IS. From Washington to
Raleigh. N. c., $7.95; to Henderson, N. C..
$3.50; to Weldon, N. c., $3.50. This is
partly rail. partly water rate. the trip
from Washington to Norfolk and Ports
mouth being by the Norfolk and Washing
ton steamers. The rate to New York from
Atlanta is $3.50. all rail- via the New
York. Philadelphia and Norfolk road, con-
Meeting at Wilmington, Del. This latter
rate goes into effect next Thursday. All
other rates on the schedule are in effect
today. The rate from Atlanta to New YORK
via either the Old Dominion steamship
line or the Bay line between Norfolk and
Baltimore, the rest of the trip by rail, is
S12.
a rate of $15 from Atlanta to Boston. The
all-rail rate between these points is S11.15.
The presumption is that the fare from all
intermediate points. from which higher
rate Is now paid, will be reduced to that
amount.
There was a report that the Southern
Company intended also to make reduc-
ticn in it's rates, to NEE. the cut made by
the Seaboard Air Line. While the reduc-
lions made by the Seaboard have been
matter of some talk and consideration by
the officials of the Southern, 1t is learned
on good authority that up to this time no
action has been taken by the latter COM
pany looking to reduction of rates. The
Southern Railway Company claim that,
notwithstanding the reduction made by
their competitors, they are doing fully as
much business to Atlanta this year as last.
