Its discovery dates back only about a dozen years, and as ''W^^ it is not regarded as a very respectable Y^ IW compound it has met with more enemies than friends among those who have dis- ^ cussed it in public. It is an imitation —professedly so—of butter, and it has met with the hard words generally accorded to such productions; but as it is already a very ex- tensive article of commerce, and likely to become more so as time rolls on, and has really a purpose to serve in the world, it is expedient that we should give some account of it. The discovery of a product which should form a not unsuccessful substitute for butter belongs to M. Hijjpolite Mege, of Paris. Aware of the grow- ing scarcity and dearness of butter, this gentleman conducted a number of elaborate experiments on auimal fat, and on the 17th of July, 1869, peti- tioned for a patent at the office of the Commissioner of Patents in London, for the invention of " The Preparation and Production of Certain New Ani- mal Fatty Bodies," and it was granted to him on the 1st of January, 1870. The object of the invention, as stated by Mege, " is to make neutral products new by their nature and superior in quality. The invention is based on the deduction of modern science, which proves, first, that odoriferous colouring matters, volatile and becoming rancid [aeres et rancissaiites), do not pre-exist in the natural fats called suets [gra
