DETECTION OF ACETIC ACID IN WINES.
M. Kissel says that, in separating
acetic acid from wines by distillation,
the acid may escape undetected, be-
cause it forms acetic ether with the
alcohol. This Inconvenience may be
avoided by saturating the wine with
baryta. The alcohol is then distilled
of, and phosphoric acid added to the
residue. On distilling again, the fcetic
acid is found in the distilate, and may
be determined.

State Temperance Alliance.

BosToN Sept. 30.-The annual meeting of the
State Temperance Alliance was held to-day at
Wesleyan Hall. the president, DR.. A. A. Miner
in the chair. Secretary and Treasurer, Rev.
VIM. M. Thayer, in his report reviewed the
temperance work during the year; the woman's
movement he regarded as proving the signifi-
cant fact that the people had been led TO recog-
nize the liquor traffic as the chief obstacle to
temperance, and to the land. The last Legis-
lature was regarded by him as a failure, and SO
considered by the press and public generally.
Gov Talbots action was commended in the
warmest manner. The state police which have
served have been extremely efficient. A metro
politan police in Boston and other cities is
needed. He devoted the last part of his report
to giving statistics to show that prohibition
diminishes the sale of liquor and increase of
crime. The same officers as last year were
elected, with an addition of several names.

The Plague in TriD0si.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-A despatch to the
State Department from the U. S. Consul at
Malta encloses an article from the Malta Times
of Aug. 22d concerning the spread of the plague
in the regency of Tripoli, and its appearance
near Mecca, and adding a government notice
forbidding the landing of passengers, animals
and susceptible goods from the regency of
Tlipoli, and from the Arabian Red Sea ports.
The newspaper article says:
"The plague, which originally broke out at
Merj, in the regency of Tripoli, twenty -four
hours from Benghasi, has now appeared at
Bersis, within ten hours of the latter port
