Taylor of Phila delphia spillod his cream pitcher on his lunch table, over two yoars ago, ho muttered something under his broath, -but tho peculiar actions of that cream on his tablecloth aroused his curiosity and set him to maiding experiments. The result is an invention for mak ing butto'r by absorption without tho aid of a churn c physical labor. When ho wants butter "now ho takos a tin pan, puts in some absorbent cloth and a ploco of blotting paper, pours in a quart of croam and puts tho whole in the refrigerator over night. In the morning ho opens the refrig erator and finds over a pound of pure, fresh butter roady for his breakfast table. Over two years ago Mr. Taylor had his servant prepare him a lutichcon in his studio in Walnut street. In roaching for a biscuit he knocked tho croam pitchor over with his sleeve. He simply sot tho pitcher right again and decided to leavo the clean ing of tho tablecloth to his sorvant Ho went on eating and thinking, and had almost flnishod his lunch, who'n he noticed that tho cloth had absorbed most of the moisture from the cream and had loft a thick, semi solid white matter that looked like cheese. Whon he saw what the cream had done, he took a little of the white matter on the ond of his knife and ex amined it carefully. "It looks like butter." hn mnPtnr to himsolf. He tasted it "I boliovp it is but tor," ho said. Then ho began to experiment. Ho tried several kinds of cloth and blot ting paper, and had a partial success with each. Ho has now completed his appar atus to his entire satisfaction. The pans are nine inches by fifteen inches, and are somewhat over an inch In depth. Tho absorbent cloth is a specially made towollng; so woven that the . .x, ., j luunusu. vvnon this cloth is folded it makes four thick nesses In tho bottom of the pan.

When these two things are placed in the pan everything is ready for buttor-making. lor All that then remains to bo done Is to pour in as much croam as is SS hf EV ln the, rofrIeatoF mer night.

On tho other hand, they may not be nafc. uralized because they are not citizens or subjects of any other nation.
