The telephone line between Paris and
Berlin. which has been but recently inau-
gurated, was completed IN June last. The
French and German officials however,
would not give the line over to public use
until * had been thoroughly tested. y con-
versation between Berlin and the French
towns costs five marks. except IF the
case of Bordeaux, Orleans and st. Etinne,
for which II marks is charged. Both the
lines between Paris and Berlin and Paris
and Frankfort are double, and are con-
structed with bronze wire five milimeters
thick. It was originally the intention of
both governments chat the telephone
should be ready at the opening of the EX-
position The German part of the wire was
brou ght to the FTencIl frontier by the
end of March. The French portion, how
the junction was not affected until the
month Of June.

In a communication recently made to
the Agricultural Society Of France, NJ.
Vassilere gave an account of a new pro-
cess of preserving wine from the action
of microbes which attack it when in the
cask. When the wine is placed in a casil
which has been left empty for some time
it is subject to deterioration owing TO
the action of the different microbes, these
being propagated when the w-ne is in con-
tact with the air. The eNpedient generally
in use consists in burning sulphur in the
empty cask to purify it. The eXperimenter
proposes to remedy the difficulty by COW
erIng the Wine with a layer OF carbonic acid
gas, which, being more dense, drives out
the air and takes its place. The carbonic
acid is liuuefied in tubes of chrome steel
provided with reservoir in which it
takes the gaseous form before passing into
the cask: the reservoir is provided with a
rubber tube which uescends into the cask
and also with a pressure gauge by whose
indicat ons the supply Of gas is regulated.
BY this method good results have been at
tanned and at Il small cost.

CLAIMS KENTUCKY.
Yerkcs Satisfied the State VIII Go
Largely Republican.
(By Associated Press.)

CANTON, O., Oct. S1--Callers were
numerous at the Mckinley home to-day.
When the President and Mrs Mckinley
returned from their morning drive the
porch was filled with people waiting TO
see them, The best known of the early
arrivals was John W. Yerkes. Republt-
can candidate for Governor of Kentucky.
He had an extended talk with the Presi-
dent.
Mr.. yerkes said there was nothing in a
pubic nature in his call and nothing con-
corning it that he cared to discuss but
that it related to kentucky affairs in the
national administration. He expressed
fun confidence that the Republicans Wal!
carry Kentucky on both State and. ma
t:onal tickets, and will probably increase
the Republican representation in congress:
Our majority will be 50 large he said,
that even the Goeoel eleclon ia" ma
eli. merry cannot overcome it
He thinks the plurality for Mckinley will
be as large as his own, although some
of the politicians of the State have been
c]aiuinsr that Yerkes will run ahead of his
ticket on account of local issues.
