BUTTER FOR EUROPE.
They Call 1t Butter, That Is, but 1t
Helps Our Cotton Seed Oil Trade

Through the invention by an Austrian
of a new process for making artificial
butter from cottonseed oil, which will
meet the Jewish and Mohammedan re-
quirements for a substitute for butter
which contains no hog fat, the American
consul general at Vienna thinks that a
big field for cottonseed oil produced here
has been opened. 1t is expected that
several thousand carloads Of cotton seed
oil will be used for this purpose an
nually.
IN the meantime the government bu-
reau of manufactures has discovered
that the oleomargarine trust of northern
Europe Is now located in Rotterdam.
Dutch capitalists having bought up the
smaller oleo plants Of Holland, Belgium
and Germany Some of the plants pur-
chased have been closed down aud dis
mantled to lower the cost of manufac-
turing, and Europeans who can't afford
butter at the present high prices are
looking to Rotterdam for something to
put on their bread
The butterine makers have been work
Ing their factories overtime lately ard
are rushing orders to this country for

CURIOUS MISSOURI FARM.
No Fences Required Wheeled Vehicle
Never Upon It.

Within sight of the town of Jasper.
Mo-, in the Ozarks, Il settler has Il farm
which probably is unlike any other in
the world.
This farm occupies the tableland on
the summit OF u ridge and is enclosed
with a fence which no animal has ever
broken through. 1t does not rise above
the surface of the farm, but falls sheer
from the edge a distance of many feet.
The man who homeeteaded the table
land had u hard climb up the face of Il
perpendicular cliff to reach the compara-
lively level summit
At one point a ledge extends out a few
inches and along the face of the cliff at
an upward grade. BY following this
ledge and making use of ocrasionaI
points of rocks and Of shrubs growing
in the assures the discoverer pulled him
self to the summit and found surface
well covered with soil and a luxuriant
vegetation.
Gradually he improved the ledge until
he could carry up tools and seed. BY
blasting and drilling he cleared a mar
row trail, up which he was able To take
first some pigs and then a COW. Later ON
he took up Il horse.
And that today is the condition of this
curiously protected farm No vehicle has
turned wheel within its limits of pail
sades. The live stock has multiplied and
consumes the grain raised. Some stones
thrown across the trail completely fence
IN the hogs and cattle. When the farm
er has stock to sell he drives the ami
mails down the private trail and strikes
the road to Jasper.-kansas City Star.

MONSTER MAP OF BRAZIL
To Be an Outdoor Feature of National
Exhibition at Rio de TaneirO.

A feature of the jubilee exhibition
which Brazil had planned to open in
May of this year, but which will prob
ably be postponed for some months or
perhaps to next year, will be an outdoor
map in relief of the republic several
thousand square yards in size. The
plans are now being prepared for the
huge map in which every physical fea-
ture of the country is to be shown in
miniature.
The mountains are to be rocky but
with artificial caps of snow and ice The
rivers will run with real water and for
ests will be marked with dwarf plants.
When the drawings and estimates are
made the government will urge the ma
tlonal congress to make an appropria-
ton for executing the work. In connec-
ton with il it is proposed to have a
botanical and geological garden in which
each of the twenty states of Brazil will
have sections in which to display their
characteristic plant and animal hfe. Il
is also proposed to have within the same
enclosure camps OF all the different
tribes of Indians inhahiting the coun-
try.
The jubilee exhibition is designed 10
commemorate the opening by the Pos-
tuguese government in May. 1908. of

by thick mist, in which they lost their
way. They roped themselves together.
Suddenly predon, who was leading, fell
over a -precipice, jerking his daughter
off her feet.
BY means of her ice axe Rose stopped
herself from being dragged over the
precipice where her father was dangling,
suspended in midair
Predori could not reach the precip-

on the rope, and, as their cries for help
remained unanswered for an hour he
begged his daughter to cut the rope and
save herself, but this she refused to do.
Another half hour passed, and as the
mist cleared Rose saw three other SNUG
glers climbing the mountain. Her cries
were heard and the smugglers rescued
