Do They Turh over Before SEEING

From the Toronto Star
William Catterall of 50 Scotland street,
Toronto, writes as follows: ut is among a
great many people an understood thing that
a shark turns over on its side or back to seize
its prey or bait. The writer has circum-
navigated the world several times and ass

on deck to the amusement of all on board
and have never seen him turn on his side

throughout.
looming from deep water you see him
make a dive for the object, and having So
cured the prize, he simply turns over on his
side or back to enable him to get back into
deep water again. Why 500 Because if he
did not alter his course he would come in

CHAMPAGNE BOTTLES.
The Old Bottles Are of No Use TO
New Wine.

The Old Bottles Are of No Use for
New Wine.
From the Pail Mol Budget
In bottling champagne the quality OF the
bottles is an important matter. Unless their
strength is very considerable there assure
to be terrible waste by breakage. Cham
payne bottles cannot be used a second time,
as the pressure to which they are subjected
seems, in some unexplained fashion, to strain
the glass so as to make it unsafe for future
use. Indeed, it is stated that thrifty manu-
facturer who once made the experiment of
putting new wine into old bottles, to the
number of 5000, speedily found his cellar
filled with broken glass and flooded with
wine, less than q score Of bottles out of the
whole remaining intact
After being bottled the wine is at once
corked, the corks are secured with an in
genious contrivance which dispenses with
wires, and the bottles are usually kept in
the warehouse above ground, at a temperat-
ure warm enough to encourage efferves-
cence, unless indeed the wine contains
sufficient carbonic acid gas to make it posi-
BILE to dispense with this stage. Then they
are sent down to the cellars, are stacked in
horizontal position, and are left to mature
for period varying from eight to ten
months to three or even four years.

RIGHTS OF RAILROADS.
Judge Clarke Declares That Special
Charters Are Illegal

Judge Clarke Declares That Special
Charters Are Illegal.
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 30.-The injunction
asked by the Georgia Railroad Company
against the Georgia, Carolina and Northern,
which enjOins that road, which is now
graded to the city limits, from condemning
aud using portion of the right Of way OF
the Georgia road, was granted by Judge
Marshall J. Clarke to-day. II is a case OF
general interest, involving several points Of
vital Importance to the railroads of the
state. Under the special act of the Georgia
legislature Incorporating the Georgia, CaTo-
lima and Northern that road was given
power to condemn and appropriate part Of
the terminal facilities of the Georgia road
CONCERNING A RIOHT OF WAY.
Proceeding under this authority the new
road sought TO condemn a strip along the
southern side Of the Georgia railroads right
of way about "a feet wide, extending from
Hulsey, just outside of the city limits. to
Grant srest where the Georgia, Carolina and
Northern depot is located temporarily. The
injunction was asked for and granted as
stated The interesting point is on the power
of the legislature to grant in q special charter
privileges not embraced in the general
railroad charter. Judge Clarke's decision in
effect declares that such special charters are
illegal, and another point that is suggested
is that other roads holding special charters
granted since the passage of the general rail
road law directed by the constitution are
operating under void authority. A bill of
exceptions is already in preparation and the
case will be carried to the supreme court

Nj. Reed asked unanimous consent that
during the day members desirous Of intro
ducing bills might present them 70 the
speakerto be referred by him, as was done
during the Fifty-first congress
Mr.. Bland objected, giving IS hts reason
that the speaker did not regularly refer
bills during the Fifty-frst congress.
Mr.. Reed hoped that the gentleman did
not mean 70 insinuate that the present
speaker would follow the evil example.
Mr.. Walker Of Massachusetts, thereupOn
demanded the regular order. which was con-
sideration OF the unfinished business, the
proposed code Of rules.
The speaker stated that the rules had not
been called UP for the reason that there was
a special order for l O'Clock.
CATCHINGS MOVES TO POSTPONE.
Mr.. Walker still insisted. and Mr.. Catch
ings moved TO postpone the consideration Of
the rules until Monday. On shis motion
Mr.. Buchanan Of New jersey raised a point
OF no quorum, bat after some time con-
sumed in taking a vote by tellers Mr..
Buchanan said that as it was evident that
the party which had two-thirds majority
in the House could not command
quorum he would relent, and
he withdrew the point The
motion was, therefore, declared carried {;
but Mr.. Burrows OF Michigan came to the
front with a motion 10 reconsider, which
Mr.. Springer moved TO lay on the table.
Again no quorum voted and that point was
raised by Mr.. Burrows who said that he
wished to give the democrats an object
lesson on what might be done under the
proposed rules.

The Attendance Poor-The Code OF
Rules Approved.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3O.-The democratic
caucus, which was called for tonight for
the purpose Of considering the action TO be
taken upon the proposed code of rules, was
very poorly attended. When the appointed
hour, $50 o'clock, arrived, there was not a
dozen members in the hall, and it was
o'clock before the caucus was called to
order. The roll call showed the attendance
OF III members, more than q majority OF
the caucus. and the following officers were
elected TO serve during the ensuing con-
gress: Mr.. Holman Of Indiana. chairman,
and Messrs. Anderson Of WesC Virginia
ana Robertson of Louisiana secre-
tarles. Although there was no
organized opposition to these officers,
there was good deal Of speecamalEinc
INDUCED in. After a few 5-minute
speeches, delivered with perfect good
nature, Speaker Crisp took the floor for
twenty-five minutes in support of the code
Of rules recommended by the committee on
rules. The greater part of the time was
consumed in answering questions relative
TO the effect the rule comforting certain
privileges on the COMMITTEES on rules would
have upon the transaction of business by
the House. His remarks were vigorous and
commanded deep attention. After great
deal OF debate the code of rules was ap-
proved by q vote of 80 to 6, and, though
some opposition was raised on the ground
thai there was no quorum, the caucus ad
journed.

TIE TOBACCO MIOROBE.
Toby Leaves May Pc Changed 20
Finest Quality.

From the Eaffs5Wrg Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The department
Of agriculture is conducting some remark
able experiments on tobacco. An i'm
portant part Of the curing Of tobacco is its
fermentation, which occurs during the pro-
cess known as "bulkingn The leaves are
packed closely together in large piles. and
after while the mass heats, the tobacco
being said to sweat" and the aromatic
compounds which contribute to its taste and
odor are formed. These phenomena Of fer
mentation are caused ty bacteria, and each
sort Of tobacco has its own kind Of bacteria,
which give 1t aroma aud favor incidentally
TO feeding upon It.
Here comes in a wonderful discovery. FOR
1t has been ascert tanned by experiment that
poor tobacco, when inoculated with the
bacteria naturally belonging 70 fine to-
bacco, obtains the taste and quality Of the
latter. Thus BY a simple operation 1t is
easy TO transform inferior leaves into first
class material for cigars which the con-
sumner may readily be led to believe are
from the Vuelta Abajo
Thus far the matter has not passed be-
yond the experimental stage. The trials
were performed by proDagsting colonies OF
bacteria belo ging to frst-quality tobacco
In beef tea and then sprinkling the latter
upon the inferior leaves. After these leaves
had been packed together and permitted 70
ferment, they we're found to have all tue
bouquet and other desirable qualities Of the
foe brand. So complete were the results
that expert judges were unable to tell the
difference. They can undoubtedly be Sc
cured on large scale at small cost per-
haps by merely spraying the poor tobacco
with decoction Of a superior quality
transferring by this means the vegetable
organisms whose assistance is desired. The
notion that the difference bet geen a Wheel
ing toby and an imported Havana cigar is
chiefly one Of species IN microbes, is GER
tainly calculated to be Of interest to smokers.
