composed of lead. He took passage one day
this week on the steamer Sheboygan for
Grand Haven, across the lake, leaving word
for his wife that he was going out to try his
invention. and that she would soon know the
result. It appears that he quietly undressed
when half way to Che other shore, and bind
nag the lead which he carried with HIM,
s6out his body, slipped unobserved into the
water His body has not been seen since,
aud probably never viii BE- recovered.
The Wine Industry.
WASHINGTON. June 26sh.-For some time
oast the Agricultural Department has been
n-sst;gating the subject OF yi;iculture and
vine manufacture in Europe and America.
Or. McMurtrie, one OF the chsInists of that
Gepartmeat recently spent several months
III the wine producing countries OF Europe
and made personal Inquiries in regard to the
subject. He has collected a vast amount Of
Information and statistios, which he Is now
formulating into "A report. To get the IN
formation required in the United States, the
Department has sent out over 10 600 circular
letters. containing exhaustive inquiries, to
-ghich satisfactory replies are being constant
" received. DR.. McMurtrie says that it will
be impossible for France, at the present rate
Of consumption. to export any quantity OF
wine this year, owing to the wet and cool
weather and the invasion of the phylloxera.
ne predicts that The wine production in
France this year viii only be about one-half
Of that Of last year, which will be inadequate
to supply the demand in France alone. On
the other hand he says the prospects IN this
country are very promising. The phylloxera
insect exists only sporadically il few coun-
ties Of California, but no apprehension is felt
that they will spread. The indications are
that the wine production in the United
States this year will be ffty per cent. greater
chan last year.
