THE BUTTER BACILLUS.

To the unntiated and nOn-scientifc mind 1t
must seem strange and neutrality-suspicious. an
unSavory and forbiddlng-thing that the flavor
and fragrance Of butter can be increased by the
deliberate addition to the cream from which 1t Is
made Of one Of tie minute organisms known as
bacilli Much is heard nowadays Of germs, and
the germ theory has wide vogue. 1t Is generally
supposed however, hat the fewer germs the
human body Is brought into contact with the
better At the same time, 1t is true that the ma
lgn bacteria are few in number compared with
those that are either harmless or helpful. Any
one with the slightest knowledge Of the subject
is aware that the sparkling quality of water Is
largely due 10 the Presence in 1t Of an immense
number Of infusoria; and very little research will
show that bacteria abound in milk to such an
extent that to count the number In a single glass
would be an mpossibly.
1t was in pursuance Of his studies OF the
bacteriology Of milk that Professor ii. w. Conn,
Of Wesleyan University, made the discovery Of
a bacillus which has so remarkable IN effect
that butter made from cream noculated with 1t
is Of Il superior quality and commands higher
price In the market An article printed on an
other page of this issue tells how this discovery
came about, how experiments proved beyond
question the efficacy of "B. A." and what the
practical results are in the considerable number
Of creamcries in which this "cuture' is regularly
used 1t is an interesting story, whether re-
gar,led from the scientific or the popular point
of view. The lucky accident by which package
of stcrilized milk shipped from Uruguay to chi
cago was found TO contain what Professor Conn
had been looking for for years Is almost sus-
gcstive of the Arabian Nights tales, and shows
that modern science is far from lacking III the
mysterious and fascinating.
The watchword Of science Is verificalon ana
in this ease it was pursued unflinchingly Tor
months, until the results followed the application
with such uniformity and regularity that it could
confidently be declared that the point OF demon
stratjon had been reached. 1t is not strange
that when the discovery was first made public
IL was received rs the vagary Of crank. and
dismissed with humor and sarcasm. nor is it
surprising that the people engaged in butter
making looked on it with doubt and distrlist.
The discovercr. however. was sure of his ground,
and n brief course Of experimentation was usual
" sufficient 10 convince the Sccptcal that there

TIE TRANSPORTATION or SHRINES.

The question of the propriey OF cartlng famous
and valuable relies around the country for exhb
ton Is again under discussion. Some Of the
managers Of the forthcoming Atlanta Exhibition
conceived the notion that II would be- II good
thing TO have the old Liberty Bell brought thlther
from Independence Hail. They asked for the
loan Of 1t. which the city authorities OF Phila
depha promptly granted. But considerable
number Of people in Philadelphia objected
These, finding protests and rcmonstranccs in
vain applied TO the courts for an injunction
against the removal OF the bell What the result
Of the proceedings will be is not certain, though
It Is generally thought the bell will be taken to
Atlanta. If so, We have no doubt that 1t will
prove an attractive feature Of the exhibition,
be regarded with veneratl0n and patriotic in
SEPARATION by multitudes Of visitors and finally be-
returned in safety TO It's old resting-place.
At the same time We must regard the Pha-
depha DIRECTORS as in the right. They are not
seeking 10 keep the bell at home because Of any
Ill will toward the Atlanta Exhibition or toward
the South, but merely because Of jealous care
for the bell itself That bell is relic Of Ma
tional Interest, Of unique character, and Of price
less value. If by any mischance 1t should be
broken, in a railroad wreck or in the burning If
a building, the loss would be absolutely rrep-
arabic. 1t ough; not TO be subjected to risks
of such disaster. The chances are, Of course.
that 1t will be taken to Atlanta and brought back
in safety; but there Is possibility that it will
not. Moreover, the removal Of II on this occa-
sion will be precedent which may lead no one
can tell WHITTIER This year Atlanta wants the
bell. Next year some other place will want IT,
II it is loaned to one it cannot well be refused
TO others. So enc Of these days We may see II
swinging round the circle Of all the county
fairs exhibited between the fat woman and the
two-hcaded calf. Nothing could be more alb
surdly improper than that. Yet sending the bell
away from independence Hall on IA single occa-
sion Is a step straight toward H.
Again, If the bell is to be taken from place 10

would like TO see the bell who never will see II
II 1t Is kept In Philadelphia. True. But Just as

many want to see Mount Vernon who never Will
do so while II remains on the bank OF the Poto-
mac. We suppose that venerable mansion might
be put on a huge car and be wheeled from Maine

place with which its fame and interest are

patriotism at the capital TO make OF snch

cheaper them, and TO make less strong ana last
ing the sentiments they inspire. NO one can
accuse us Of unfrendliness to the Atlanta TX
hibition. We believe 1t will be magnificent
success, of which the whole Nation may well be
proud. But it can easily be that without the
Liberty Bell. and without setting so bad and
dangerous a precedent as the removal OF mat
precious relic from the place where 1t belongs
