Petroleum from Linseed Oi.

That petroleum can be produced, or
at least initiated, by proper treatment
of linseed oil. has been announced by
Prof. Stadtler 1t was shown that by
subjecting this oil to destructive dis
tillation. under pressure, various pro-
ducts identical with certain petroleum
hydrocarbons can be produced. This
fact is Of great significance and i'm
p%ortance. 1t beats directly upon and
affords proof Of one OF two theories re-
garding the origin Of petroleum. These
theories are: One that petroleum Is OF
animal origin, the other that 1t is OF
vegetable origin. Possibly. perhaps
probably, both are true. Without dis
cussing the theory Of animal origin
Prof. Sadtler's results would seem tC
prove the other,-Popular Science

Artificial silks,

A high degree of lustre is one of the
principal characteristics OF the arti-
fetal silk now being made in Europe.
Another merit which the produce pos
sesses is that Of taking dyes much more
readily than the natural silk, a fact
made a~bundantly evident by the colors
and extreme richness Of the specimens
which have been exhibited to the Lon
don public. The main difference In
appearance between the natural and ar.
tiicial silk may, therefore. be said to
consist in the greater lustre of the lat.
ter, though 1t is also found that, or
taking a single thread of each, the ar,
tiicial breaks differently from tn,

A short time ago an eccentric old
lady could not be induced to take train
from a certain station In Yorkshire
to Eccles, near Manchester. She said
she had recently heard a lot about
railway racing, and was going to run
no risk. So the old lady decided TO dc
the journey about fifteen miles, on
foot. Following the main road, she
was compelled, at about three miles
from the starting point, to pass ovel

PERFUMED BUTTER.
The New Indulgence of the Royal Family
and the Rich Set In IOudon,

The New Indulgence of the Royal Family
and the Rich Set In London.
Perfumed butter on the dinner table
is the fad of royalty and of the very
rich in London. The diaries where this
butter Is made are as odorous as a for
lists shop or the laboratory of a per-
fumer. On all sides there are flowers
and jars of leaves, pressed and loose.
At first glance it might be supposed
that the butter receives it's subtle odor
by working it with some sort Of es-
sence. But this Is not the case. In the
first place the butter is made in small
pats like those in ordinary use. Each
pat is wrapped in a bit of fine muslin
and placed on a bed of rose leaves spe-
cially prepared in an earthen jar. On
top another layer of the fresh and deli
cate rose leaves is placed, before the
jar is filed with a solid chunk of ice.
Then the Jar Is placed in a refrigera-
tor and allowed to remain there for ten
hours, when the pats are ready for the
customer. This is all there is to 1t, but,
simple as the idea is, it has made
for its discoverer a fortune, and he
is now permitted to announce that he is
"by royal appointment" purveyor to
| Her Majesty the Queen and the royal

rom his craze. refused to continue In
The weird actions of his household anu
had endeayored to quit his wife and
sons, he was cruelty beaten 10 death
by Antonio, the Oldest boy. The shock.
ing tragedy occurred In sight OF seVerai
nearby farmers, who were anticipat-
ing a tragic outcome OF the singular
case. They were powerless TO prevent
the murder, however. The mahiacs
barricaded their house when surround
ed and finally took refuge In the cellar'
to which the officers had to cut tneir
way In order to take the fanatics INTO
custody. The insane decisions oil the
Jorios and their wild actions have
given the authorities no end OF trouble
since August last, when a favorite son,
Betista, died. Then n bitter wall went
up from the farmhouse, and Under
taker w. Il. Bates had dificulty In
burying the body. Luigi, who was the
most violent, nailed a photograph OF
the dead man on the coffin. One night
Luigi aroused the family and told them
that he had been visited and inspired
by the Virgin Mary. and that everybody
must do M he commanded. From that
day the family entirely neglected their
farm and spent their time duplicating
the Virgin Mary by songs and prayer
on the steps at the Church OF the Sa-
cred Heart and at the graveyard. The
trouble came to a crisis three weeks
ago, when the family was arrested for
disturbing meetings Of the church. The
complaint was made by the pastor, the
Rev. Father Dietrich. Luigi, the in
spired" one. aud Charles were sent to
jail for ten days. The father at first
tried to pacify the sons. but finally he.
too, caught the infection and danced
and sang around them.
The Family Grows Wiidcr.
During Luigi's incarceration the
mother, father and Antonio, at home
expected every minute that he would
shatter his cell, "smite his oppressors,"
and return to his home. The fact that
the Messiah" failed to perform that
miracle did not weaken their faith In
him. Every day after Luigi's return
home the family grew wilder and more
b~oisterous. Finally they closed and
barred the doors and windows, and
turned their barn-like house into a ver-
table fortress. The neighboring farm
ers lived in constant fear Of the crazed
italian family, and often sat up nights
with windows open listening to the
wild songs aud dances. the sound OF
which echoed over the fields. Mr.. J.
Il. Cosman. a neighbor. said that pre-
vious to the sons death the family
were perfectly sane, and were consid-
cred good neighbors. Since then, the
n%eighbors say, the family have acted
like devil-worshipers. and left theii
crops to rot In the ground. On Friday
last the neighbors saw the mother ant
three sons hunting through the wood.
In all directions for the father. who
apparently had come to his senses ant
wanted the family to stop their wor
