RENOVATED BUTTER,

,''the three grades look almost alike
Sometimes practiced eye cannot dis
tinguish them, while the tongue cannot
always discover any preference.
"Oleomargarine Is generally detected
without much difficulty, but even the
chemist, with his liquids, his test tubes
and his minute apparatus, has found
1t difficult to draw the line between
creamery and renovated butter. There
are so many different kinds and grada-
tons Of the former, you know. Conse-
quently, at times when we knew reno
waited butter had been sold under the
wrong title, we have found 1t difficult
to convict. Under the Photographic
system we need only show the pic
lures, and he that runs may read.
'Now, all we need to do is to place
a sample of suspected butter in a glass
slide and then under the microscope.
We put one prism above and one be-
low In such way that the light rays
cannot pass through, according to a
law Of physics. Now we push the tube
Of camera directly over the head of
Middletown transcript., 1900-10-27

the microscope and insert plate at the
other end. No direct light, you see,
can pass through-that Is, as long as
those two -prisms are properly placed.
But, according to the laws Of light. as
soon as we get third prism, such as
crystal, which, you know, is Of pris-
matic shape, the light again finds its
way through. Consequently, If the
butter is free from crystals, no direct
rays and only dull, translucent light
will pass through, while otherwise
bright and dark spots will come to-
gether and form the peculiarly shaded
picture you see in the oleomargarine
sample. The proof is simple, absolute

Is not a case of spirit photography
though equally mysterious and fully as
graphic in its results. By combina-
tion of nickel prisms, microscopes and
q lensless camera with a sensitive

plan which must show the difference
between buffers and pseudo buffers to
every amateur eye at moments
glance. Thus, 1t is hoped, the photo
graphs will carry weight with a jury
where chemical formulas fail.
The real butter is smooth and woolly
looking, but the renovated butter with

For corroboration of what am
about to relate give you the Haidara-
bad Gazette Of the dates Of June 9, 8
and "a Of the year 1872. In those
three issues, as well as in others later
on. you will find much space devoted
to the case Of the man who went by
the name Of Chilka.
This Hindoo Chllka, who was about
40 years Of age, came to the canton
ment at Haidarabad as a peddler of
fetiches. He had the beaks and claws
Of birds, the feet of small animals, the
skins and teeth of serpents and the
ears and claws Of tigers and panthers.
he claimed that all his stock had been
blessed by a holy man and that each
and every article was q charm. The
native soldier is full of superstition,
and the English soldier in India at
least hopes for good luck. Together
they always buy literally Of these
peddlers. There were charms against
death, wounds, sickness, loss and what
not, and the very cheapest and poorest
was guarantee that its possessor
would never be struck by lightning.
The man had been selling his goods
for an hour or so when dispute arose
Middletown transcript., 1900-10-27
THE HINDoo HAD VANISHED


between him and an English soldier,
and he was ordered off the grounds. AZ
he stopped to argue the matter he was
run into the guardhouse to give him 81
lesson. The prison held four or fiveI
soldiers at the time, but Chilka sat,
down in corner and refused to notice
any Of them. They turned from him
to their cards, but after half an hour
suddenly saw that he was missing.
There was but one window, and that
was barred. There was but one door,
and that had not been opened. The
alarm was given, and an officer came
IN to investigate. 1t was little he could
discover. The peddler had vanished.
and yet had he been q cockroach there
was no crevice he could have used to
escape. The door had been locked,
with sentry on the outside, and the
window had not been tampered with.
When the officer made his report he
was reprinanded. To square himself
ne fell back on the soldier prisoners.
Before the affair ended a good many
omcers were badly mixed up. It could
not be disputed that Chilka had been
locked up. It could not be disputed that
ne had vanished soon after. No one
could say how he had gone, and that
was the stick Of It. To say that he
mad melted into q shadow and foated
through the keyhole was ridiculing the
matter. He was finally reported as
having escaped, and 1t was generally
believed that the other prisoners had
somehow aided him. Next day the
Aindoo was arrested in the city for
having passed a bogus coin and was
taken to the city Jail to await trial.
when imprisoned In the guardhouse
at the cantonment, nothing was taken
away from him. When taken to the
city jail, he was carefully searched and
ois pockets emptied. Aside from the
Ieuches have mentioned, he had with
nlm fat stone about the size OF an
american silver dollar The color was
pale pink, and It was framed In silver
and worn around his neck. This stone
ne had not shown to the soldiers, but
me prisoners In the guardhouse re-
memDered his having it In his hands
snd gazing at 1t intently as he sat by
himself. He begged hard to be per-
United to retain this charm, but 1t was
@ken away with the other articles.
Ohilka remained In jail overnight
Ano was then brought into court Ior
EXAMINATION. He denied knowing that
the coin was worthless. but as several
otners like 1t were found in his pockets
ne was remanded to jail to await trial
ne asked for the pink stone, explain
ing that 1t was a charm against fever,
ana II was given him. The story Of
Lne mans escape from the guardhouse
1ad reached the jailer. and though he
laughed at It he at the same time
'ocked the prisoner rp In cell by him
