Delaware river off League Island awaiting

Flavor From Tree Leaves.

A French investigator has found that
by the addition of the leaves of fruit
trees which in themselves have no
marked flavor to saccharine solutions
undergoing alcoholic fermentation. a
very marked bouquet Of the fruit is de-
veloped. Thus, by immersing pear or
apple tree leaves in 10 or Is per cent
solution of sugar, and adding a pure
yeast, which by itself gave rise to no
marked flavor, after fermentation a liq-
uid was obtained which had a strong
odor Of pear or apple, respectively, and
an excellent flavor, and on distillation
gave an alcoholic distillate in which
this aroma was still more marked. Vine
leaves act in q similar manner, and it
may be possible to improve the bouquet
Of poor vintage by the addition Of
some leaves during fermentation. The
results are far more marked when the
leaves employed are from trees in which
the fruit is approaching maturity.
Jacquemin infers that the flavors of
fruits are due to a body elaborated
in the leaves, possibly Of a glucosidal
nature, which is not transferred to the
fruits nutil the latter approach matur-
ity, and is then acted upon by the
special ferments contained in the fruit
juices and develops distinctive fiavors.

trading. In these comparisons we are
now looking at a time in the previous
year, not of depression and stagnation,
such as preceded the last national elec-
ton. but of great activity, owing MAIN
ly to the sudden demand from Europe
for breadstuffs, demand which has
made the fiscal year just closed memoir
able in the export trade Of the country,
above that preceding it. If, therefore,
the business of the country continues
to run at that high-water mark all
must be well. The week just closed
does quite keep up to the full increase
Of that great year, and even overfiows
that large measure.
We speak Of peace and prosperity.
We have had war and no cessation of
prosperity for 100 days Of what has
been in all respects the most remark
able campaign in the history Of the
world. That war which has involved
the manning, using in active service Of
perhaps $50 ships of war, and a great
fleet Of transports, and of recruiting,
mastering, equipping and sending to
distant fields Of operation in foreign
lands an army of 100000 men, at a
cost for it all of nearly $3.50, ,OO,OOO,
has hardly caused a ripple on the broad
Peace returns, and it might seem
vain to hope that business could be any
better than it has been. But we may
indulge this hope with absolute assur-
ance of it's full fruition.

Paper Bullefx.

There used to be saying in the old
dueling days of a generation past
says the National Druggist" that
every bullet has its billet Now, If we
may believe a statement in Der Mill
tararzt" Ia German paper devoted to
army medical matters, the time has ar
rived when billet, even a billet doux,
may be converted into a bullet. The
journal named states q French army
surgeon has invented bullet made of
compressed paper, covered over with
thin and highly polished aluminium The
new bullet, it is claimed, is better
than those In use; it makes equally
as good targets at any range, and the
wound made by 1t is, surgically, clean
healing with far greater ease than
wounds made by any Of the missiles
now in use. Thus, while the number OF
wounded may be no less, the labor OF
the surgeons will be lightened by the
absence of septic conditions"

Wireless Telegraphy.

The application of what is called
wireless telegraphy to practical pur-
pose has made great advances during
the last few months, the British Post
office having erected experimental sta
tions in the Solent, one at Bourne
mouth, and the other at Alum Bay, in
the Isle of Wight, distance of four and
a half miles. Across this distance, and
even further, signals have been sent
with entire success, and commun1ea-
tions were made TO a vessel cruising
about in the open with equally satisfac-
tory result. The system under trial
was that of Marconi, and the appara-
tus at either end was of a relatively
simple character Its visible portion
consisted of a mast over 100 feet high,
from which depended a metallic wire.
Inside the transmitting station was a
powerful induction coil, by means OF
which a spark was passed between two
balls. One ball was connected With
the upright wire, and the other with
the earth. When a spark passes the
wire gives out electrical radiations or
waves in every direction, and some Of
these are caught by a corresponding
upright wire at the receiving end, and
transmitted to a suitable piece Of ap-
paratus known as ''coherer.' The
coherer is glass tube, into which are
sealed two silver pole pieces. the space
between which contains metal filings,
which are not ordinarily conductors of
electricity AS soon as a current or dis
charge reaches them, however, they set
themselves in an end-on position, and
become conductors. The slightest tap
disarranges them and turns them again
into non-conductors. 1t may be seen
then how by means of suitable au-
tomato tapping arrangement the CO.
herer can be kept in a sensitive state
for registering intermittent electrical
signals These are developed by an or
binary relay arrangement and are au-
tomatically written down by a Morse
recorder. theoretically there is no rea-
son why. with vertical wires of suit
able length and sufficiently powerful
discharges, the radiations should not be
transmitted to a very great distance
and picked up. The experiments so
far completed, however, seem to show
that no difficulty whatever would be
experienced in communicating across
the air to a lighthouse or guardship,
where submarine cable would be de-
stroyed. Wet or foggy weather only
improves the signals.

Alameda Encinal: The folly of al
lowing "a harmless lunatic" to run at
large is shown in the case of the muir
derer Frank Cheeseman. He had given
proof of his dementia several times,
yet he was regarded as perfectly
harmless" and was allowed to go un-
restrained until he has at last killed
one inoffending man, grievously
wounded the girl whom he pretended
to love, and tried to murder another
woman. If he had been put into con-
finement and kept there, as he should
have been, years ago, this bloody trag-
edy would not have been enacted.
1T HAS BEEN RUMORED.
Los Angeles Times: Several weeks
ago the Popuists met at Sacramento
and nominated James c. Mcguire, who
has been everything by turns and
nothing long, for Governor; and the
Democrats are now said to be awaiting
their turn to place Mcguire at the
head of their ticket as well. The old
Democratic party Of the days of Brod-
erick, Gwin, McDougall and Latham
would have scorned to resort to any
such huckstering methods as these.
We once heard of lady in San
Francisco who felt herself compelled to
kept too late hours and was not fit for
work in the morning. Meeting the
same girl about three months later,
she beheld her dressed in a most ex-
travagant style and carrying a gold
watch in her girdle. Accosting her,
she remarked: why, Bridget, you
are finely dressed; you must have
very good place. Where do you live
now?" "Oi doan't live anniewhere.
ma'am,' replied Bridget in faltering
tone. "Oi'm ruined"
Which is why the Times feels con-
strained to remark, and its Language
is plain; that from all present appear
ances the Democratic party has been
ruined.
DOCKED HORSES.
San Jose Mercury: The cruel prac-
tce of docking horses is practiced by
many of the so-called fashionables of
this country because they imagine it
is English and quite the thing, yet it is
a fact that the Queen of England alb
hors this mutilation Of mans best ami
NAL friend, and will not permit a sin
gle horse that is used in the army to
be subjected to the painful process and
the subsequent daily and hourly dis
comfort. Similarly, in this country, no
docked horses will be accepted for use
in the army, nor is the practice of
docking allowed by the Secretary of
War Aside from it's barbarity, dock
ing hinders the usefulness of the horse,
especially in a warm climate, where in
sects are numerous. Not only that, bat
1t destroys his beauty and transforms
him into a freak. Individuals who
dock their horses not only are cruel
by nature but they display the possess
sion of a depraved taste.
THE MEN BELOW. DECKS.
Tulare Register: Nothing seems bet
ter to illustrate the character of our
officers than the fact that In the alb
sorbing excitement of battle they did
not forget the naked workers heroes
all, down in the ship below the water
