Evidences of Spores Similar to Thoso Seen in Foul Water. And Bolling Wator Is Powerless to KIN Them. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Circaqo, April8.—There appeared in tho Loulsvitle CourtersTournal some thne Inst yoar, as nigo in many other papers, 2 report of Mr. George T. Angell’s lecture upon tho adulteration and sophistication of jrticles used for food, ete, Among such articles especial mention was nate of oleomargarine, the vile compound of colored animal fat now palmed off npon thecommunity under a false name, that of butter, and sold at an enor mous profit, Subsequently there was pub- Nshed tn the same paper, under the heading of “The Mistakes of Angell,” what pure ported tobon reply to the lecture in ques- tlon, written by "Prof, Matt,” of New York, who sustains the office of chemist to one of these establishments, which Mr. Michacls, the microscopist, who is made to bear the guilt of exposing the fraud, enlls “ grense Suctories.” e Mr. Michaels snys that “during the wholo process of manufneture, from first to Inst, tho anininl fat, ete, of which the substance is mudo fs never subjected to a higher temperature tlinn 120 degrees. Fahrenheit.” In view of this fact it at once occurred to me that, taking ito aeconnt the well-known thermal ‘denth-point of eertuin organisns frequently found in anhnals, whieh, al- though diseased, are regarded by dealers as fit for food, such a temperature of 120 de- rees Fahrenheit was totally {nsufliclent to destroy the germs or even the adult indi- yiduals of such forms of life. “ Agaln, the orfziial French patent states that the stomachs of two ples or sheep should be chopped up with a certain amotnt of faton account of the pepsine there con- tuined, and T found that this practice was In use in the New York oleommrgarine mantt- factories, pr these reasons assert that, however disguised it may be in ABUT EO, dleomurgaring 1s “noth ing but raw fat, Itquilled, scented, colored, and flavored fo give its spurious ap penrnnee of butter, and those who use it run tho risk of trichinw from the stomachs of, pigs chopped up with the fat, and that infec- ton from certain contixious diseases whieh are common to man and the domestic ani- nals might follow.” The Rev. W. I, Dajlinger, of Liverpool, England, who fs regarded 03 the greatest liv- ing authority upon thesubject, ina published letter dated dune 21, 1878, fully fndorses Mr. Michaels’ statement. . ‘The formuln, In brief (ns given in the En- eyelopedia Britauntea »), Is as follows: Fine ly-chopped aniinal tat is submitted ton heat of N7degrees Fah. in water, thon pressed, ‘The vily substance thus separated from: the stearino is next tuken in the proportion of ten pounds, with four pints of milk, three of water, anda small quantity of annuatto, aud. all churned together until the milk fat be- comes mixed with the other ingredient Other methods, however, which retain the aninal conueetlve Ussue, ete., would seem to be the most common in use. However this may be, the stuff sold uniler the name of butter consists, 13 says Mr. Michaels, of raw fat, colored, scented, ete, And this is the artl- ele’which Brot, Mott, chemfst to the Commer- cint (oleomargarine) Manufneturing Companys of Now York, says is much better food (goes: farther) than the genuine article, and keeps better.” And Profs, Verlll and Brewer, of Yale College, aud Prof. Arnold, of the Unl- versity of New York, are quoted as indors- ing this statoment, Prof. Brewer giving this remarkable dictum: “Sofar as ehemistry and common sense sugeest Esco to reason why it should not be as wholesome and nutritious as eream butter, and will so believe, unless its actual use demonstrates to the coutrary.” And yet this Professor of Chemistry knows that there are many substances, which ara ehemieally precisely alike, some of which aro finocent when taken into the human sys- ten, while others ure deadly poisons, Thus, oils of Iemon, orange, savin, and many others: are chemically precisely allke (C10 1116), the first two, as is well known, being compara. tively Innocent, while oll of savin isan active poison, Many cases of death are recorded ng haying been produced by it. Ifthe chem- Ist, after having tested tho effects of the first two upon the animal system, had through his “common sense” inferred what would have n tho effects of tho third, he would certainly have come ton most unfortunate conelision, And yet this is precisely whut tho learned Professor Tas done in thfy instance, and, moreover, on the sane ground, proposes to adhere to his opinion (or guess) until actual exporiment shall “demonstrate to the contrary.” Verily, chemical professors should study somewhat: more extensively before pronouncing upon such subjects. After the publication of Mr, Michnols’ arti- ele, and Prof, Mott's answer to the same, L took occasion to hake a number of exninina- tions of oleomargurine, in order to satisfy myself by personal observation of tho true Halury of the nileged facts on both sides of le cage. ‘The results of these examinations aro recorded in drawings ay well as In written words, Ihave also preserved sildes of spec- {mens from which many of my drawings wera mde, 3 Tho first, a smaller engraving, is‘ from a drawing of microscopic examination of a specimen of oleomargarine obtained of a dealer who sold it ay such, The iagnlty ig power used was 604 dinmoters, or 318,01 areas or thoes, Prof, Arnold says in ils letter to Doctor Mott that he had examined the specimen of oleomnrgarine butter sent hin by the Doctor, and thathe “ found itto consist ofexcecdingly clear and beautiful all, globules, a suflclent proof of its purity.” This might well-bo on aeeount of the low magnifying power used (n * fowr-tenths objective and A eye-plece,” from 100 to 120 dlumeters), without even o suspicion that an honest artlete tind not been sentthe Professor for examination. ‘Then, again, it frequently happens in slugle felds of miscroscope that In these examinations of oleamargaring one will find no well-defined objects, but ofl and water globules, while anothor fleld will be crowded with forms as seen in the engravings, In tho firat engraving aro scon mainly fit crystals, tho radlathig forins, square walt erys> tals, 0 few off globules, pieces of membrane, sranular matter, ete, ‘The second drawing was made from a spechuien of oleomargarine sont me for exe amination from a respectuble eating-house in thoclty, Ibis made up from drawings from severnl ditferent samples froin the same apeehnen.
