Butter in ancient jar and rare elephants travel to New York
A Society in England holds a hermetically sealed butter jar said to be two thousand years old from an Egyptian tomb, noted for faint rancid scent. Maine tin mines widen seams with rich deposits westward. Oregon salmon fisheries rise with 435000 cases caught in 1879. Paris condemns margarine as butter substitute due to emulsion absorption and possible adulteration. Two small mountain elephants, 28 and 36 inches tall, reach New York from Malaysia via Singapore, resembled Malta and Siberian elephants, surviving sea and lowland travel.
