BoEu.C Coffee Berrie..

Unroasted coffee berries are often
made from cat and rye -four and corn
meal. The natural aroma of these
grains is destroyed by some process,
and after the proper amount of coffee
aroma is added the berries are formed
and caused to maintain their shape by
some adhesive substance.

Sun Storms.

Sun Storms.
The connection between the aurora.
sun spots and magnetic disturbances
has never been explained, but many
observations have shown that Ii def
initely exists. The outbreak of cy
clonic storm on the sun with the for
nation of spots is Immediately regis
tered in every magnetic observatory
on the earth. Sometimes the disturb
ance of terrestrial conditions is very
marked.
For example, on Feb. IS, 1892, n
great spot, accompanied by enormous
cyclonic disturbances. burst forth on
the suns surface. That night a mag
nificent aurora was visible all over the
northern half of the United States and
in many parts of Europe. Telegraph
ing was carried on between New York
and Albany without batteries, so strong
were the earth currents. The tele
graph system of Sweden was COM
pIetely paralyzed, and in Russia much
difficulty was experienced with the tel
egraph lines. At the Kew observatory
in England the magnetic needle swung
two degrees out of its normal position.
All this has furnished physicists and
astronomers a fruitful field for study,
and q vast mass of observations has
been accumulated, but so far no salts
factory explanation of the mysterious
bond of sympathy between solar and
terrestrial influences has been forth
coming, nor does any one yet know the
true nature of the aurora.

Pardon for o1eo Men REFUSED.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The presi-
dent has denied the application of
Joseph Wilkins and Howard Butler for
pardon. These men were convicted of
violation of the oleoma rgarine act and
sentenced in the United States district
court at Philadelphia, March II, 1898,
the former to imprisonment for six
months and to pay fine of 81, 800, and
the latter to imprisonment for four
months and to pay fine of $500 and
and costs.
The report made to the president on
this case by Attorney General Griggs
IFS severe in tone. He declares that the
sentence was moderate. His opinion
closes with the declaration that ''the
public is entitled to be protected by
the salutary influence of stern punish
ment against fraud and deception such
as was practiced in this case, by means
of which the petitioners were able to
impose upon innocent purchasers as
genuine butter a counterfeit article,
which, if sell for what it really was,
would have brought very much less in
the open market"

How Packers Can Pay More Than

PASTURE LEASES---ANGORAS.

Fort Worth, Jan. 2O.-An interesting
feature OF the session of the National
Live Stock convention was the reading
of paper from P. D. Armour, which
says: A /, e0O-pound steer will net the
packer $50 to 700 pounds of dressed
beef. Of the 400 to 500 pounds former
iy thrown away, the packer saves the
common fertilizer-the offal; the intes-
tines go to the glue, and from the fat
chemically pure butter fat, or oleomar
much ill-timed and unintelligent legis-
lation has been enacted. The pith of
the horn goes to the glue pot, the horn
for combs and the tip for pipe mouth

printing colors and buttons, the hair
for felt and horse blankets, fat also
goes to glycerine and soap. White
hoofs go to Japan where they are made
up into many useful articles.
1.-The Angora Goat Industry" was
handled by w. L. Black, of Texas, who
referred to the value of that particular
breed and to the scarcity of perfectly
pure blooded animals in this country,
and the duty of $500 in Cape Colony,
Africa, for every animal exported,
which was done in order to prevent
competition from this country. But
there were enough already in this
country, and as soon as they increased
sufficiently would be obtainable wher-
ever needed.
The following resolution was adopt
ed: ''That such of the public lands of
the United States as are adapted for
grazing lands should be subject to
lease by stockmen who are citizens, at
a reasonable rental and under such
conditions as will tend to preserve
grasses from destruction and improve
