FRENCH ESTIMATE OF OUR
WINES.

LastJune at the Agricultural Institute
of Paris committee OF seventeen emil
nent wine experts examined and gave
their opinion upon one hundred samples
of California wines selected by Mr.. Gros
and brought by him to France. The re-
suit ofthe investigation was sufficiently
critical to give especial value to so much
of the verdict as is complimentary to
California.
The jury found our ordinary wines to
be the best and some of them to COM
pare very favorably with the French
ordinaires. But it was found that they
do not improve with age, and lose in
quality when the two-year mark is
passed. In UiDS ordinaireS the red
wines of California were found to be the
best. The wines of better grade, made
with the grapes grown on the vines i'm
ported from Burgundy and the Bordeaux
districts, were pronounced generally
good and not lacking in aroma and clear
ness, but not to possess the "bouquet"
70 be found in the products of the famous
wine regions of France. The opinion of
the committee was that they are harsh,
and, as they express it, ''rasp the throat"
which, unlike the Americans, the French
connoisseurs do not consider as good
qualities.
On this account, and because we are
not wine-drinking people, preferring,
say the committee, strong drink, tea,
coffee, milk and water, the outlook for
the cultivation of the vine in California
is not hopeful, in the opinion of the COM
mittee.
AS to Southern California products the
committee found that it's muscat, port,
Malaga and Xeres is quite equal to the
products of Spain and Portugal. The
committee came to the agreement that the
best adapted for fine wines, while the
middle can produce but common, ordi-
nary wines, and that Southern California
is destined to secure big profits in the
manufacture of vinous liquors and
brandies. Twelve samples of California
brandy from the foremost manufacturers
were tested and found good, but inferior
to the products of the French charentes.
These verdicts have been reported to
the Government at Washington, and by
1t sent out in the volume of consular re-
ports for January, 1895. They may be ex-
pected to evoke great deal of sharp criti-
cism and much adverse comment. But
whatever the truth, let it come out. The
truth can afford the light always.

THE Merced Sun never jokes-it is be-
meath its dignity. But it does say in a
lscent issue that its county has spent a
good many hundred thousand dollars on
its highways, and that as a result they
are hub-deep with mud in winter and six
inches deep with dust in summer. But
and here is where the gravity of the thing
comes init says: But all this will soon
be changed, for movement is on foot to
petition the Supervisors to pass resolu-
tion to the effect that we ought to have
better roads. There is nothing that
makes better roads, or makes them
faster. than resolutions"

The Spanish Minister says that when
the Cuban cruiser comes in, if it is found
that its commander was in the wrong in
firing upon the American flag. Spain will
apologize. Very likely. While not at
all bloodthirsty or revengefuI, the Amer
lean people are getting very tired of these
repeated insults by thirdrate powers. It
would seem that every nine-by-ten State
in Christendom feels privileged to boot
US when it chooses, feeling sure that
nothing worse than an apology will be
the punishment for the fun of fiouting
the stars and stripes.

The concurrent resolution providing
7or the submission at the next general
election of the question whether the peo-
pie wish another Constitutional Conven-
tion to be convened should not be allowed
TO die on the file. The reasons for such
action have already beeu stated in these
columns. They are simple and forceful.
The Constitution is now badly cut up by
amendments. and large number are
proposed at each session, so that the in
strument is becoming the code eff laws
for California, instead of being a declara-
tion of fundamental principles. The
RECORD UNION opposed the adoption of
the Constitution because it was, as it still
is, so antagonistic to the association of
capital that commerce is crippled, devel-
opment checked. and savings institutions
are repealed and driven out of the State.
In the matter of the reputation of rail-
roads, which can only be done success
msny of the provisions of the Constitu-
tion have become useless under the decis-
ions of the United States Supreme Court.
The 'conclusively just and reasonable"
clause is frivolous, and ought to be
stricken out. The inability of the people
under the instrument to exempt prop
erty from taxation in promotion of manu-
featuring is an unwise restraint. With
the experience of the past, and the bitter
lessons of the Kearney spasm in mind,
and adopting more concise and better
organic law.

A Heavy Weight.

II has been roughly calculated that
the weight of our atmosphere is about
one ton to every square foot of the
earth's surface; 25,OOO,Ooo tons per
square mile, or 5, 900, 900, 900, 900, 900 tons
on the total of 200, 600, 900 square miles
which go to make up the total of the
earth's area. Again, according to the
estimates of the authority for the
above, a cubic mile of air weighs about
10, 900, 600, 900 pounds. This mass, when
electrified or put in motion by other
forces, develops cyclonic power equal
to 1000, 600, 900, 900 foot tons" of en-.
ergy. If you wish to know why the
tornado (cyclone) is usually so destruc.
tive, figure on the fact that the force of
such storms is generally equivalent to
more than 1900, 200, 900, 900, 900 horse
power! The total horse power of all
the engines now working in the world
is only 100000, and of all those in
America, both locomotive and station
airy engines, emily $500, 600. Compare
2, 500, 900 with 1000, 900, 600, 900, 900 and
see how insignificant it looks! Is il
any wonder that the cyclone, "the
rushing demon of the air." leaves ruin
and destruction in its path?-, st. Louis

Rain and Wave Electrification.

In a recent paper Lord Kelvin
showed, by the aid Of special
apparatus, that the passage Of a
drop of water through the air has
the effect of slightly electrifying
the latter. The electric action is
much more intense if the drop of
water meets with a solid body or
a liquid surface. He has also
found that if drop Of fresh water
strikes a surface of salt water or
a solid body, the air is negatively
electrified, while IL salt water is
used, the air is positively electri-
fed. The clash Of waves against
each other likewise gives rise to
positive identification of the air,
and iu a much larger measure
than the negative identification
due to the fall OF rain.

The dull season is really the
season for stories about new things,
which may, however, not always
be true. For example, we English
Mechanic) read that "a French
naturalist has invented a very re-
marksble instrument, which he
has termed a 'Glossometer,' for
the purpose Of measuring the
tongues of bees. To the student Of
evolution these instruments will
prove OF great value in determining
the part played by natural selec-
ton in developing the bees
topgue-that member which has
so much to do with the fertilsa-
zation and perpetuation of our flow
ers ard plsnts. It has been found
that the length Of the tongue in
bees differs very much in various
hives, and it is evident that bee
which has long tongue can OBJ
tain nectar in a flower with deer
calyx, where bees with shorter
tongues cannot reach the nectar
at all. 1t is to be hoped that this
interesting subject of researc b
will be followed up.n

farmers have turned their atten-

diction is made that the present
vegetable crop will be twice as
large as that Of last year, whilst
the melon crop will be ten times
as large. One Of the disadvan-
tages that the truck farmers
of Florida have labored under
has been the remoteness of large
markets, but with fast freight
lines to the North and West this
disadvantage can be removed in
