correspondent who-has seen the process. as
follows: '.The crude wine is run into tank
which holds three thou. .and bottles, and then
swee,ened With eighty-two pounds OF sugar.
The succeeding processes are nice and com
plicated, and some Of them believe are kept
secret nom the public. The solution OF the
great pro oIem Of childhood-how ch'mpagne
corks get IN when they are 80 much larger at
the bottom than ut the top-appears in an in
4enious machine, which congresses them
one.half aud then drives them in in twink
ling. The newly filled bottles are laid in
frames, with the necks sloping downward.
Here they remain for some weeks. but are
shsken by hand every day. The pressure on
q bottle is ninety pounds to the square inch,
or equal to that Of six atmospheres. About
ono in ten bursts. The men who saake them
wear maskskof wire to protect their faces.
The. superintendent has long scar on his
right hand. where he was once out by the glass
OF an exploding bottle. After ths VINE has
worked itself clear. the cork is removed for
an instant to let the sediment fly out; then it
ID repaced, tho bottle is labelled, wrapped and
cased BY Cinnamon, and it is ready for the
market"
