FABRICATED WINES.
London Mall Declares That Never
Before Were They so Numerous
or NillainOus.

The London Mail says: To-day is
the day of the wine fakir. Never be.
fore in the history of the trade have
his devices been SO numerous and his
concoctions so villainous. Never be.
fore, too, have his profits been more
satisfactory. SO long as there is a
demand for full-blooded Burgundies
and clarets, at, say, six shillings a
dozen, that demand will be supplied
There is a vast difference between
fabricated and adulterated wine. The
latter is generally pretty easy to
deal with. Fabricated wine is far
more difficult of detection.
Here we have a concoction of
more or less chemical nature, which
is designed with the express idea of
closely initiating the genuine wine
both in color, bouquet and taste. One
favorite fabrication consists of 90
per cent. of water, 5lI per cent. of al.
cohol and AZ per cent. of tannin
The two latter ingredients are OBJ
tanned from the cheapest form of i'm.
ported raisins.
Very frequently these raisins con.
sist of squeezed grape husks which
have already done genuine service in
some French wine press. They cost
next to nothing to import, are re.

juice is eked out with the acid OF

quently the maker is enabled to sell /
his concoction at the ridiculously low /
price of about one shilling two pence /
per gallon, and at the same time tc
make an excellent profit upon the
transaction. Much of this beverage

The retailer sells it again at about
two shillings sixpence per gallon;
or, if bottled and beautifully sealed

enhanced price of, say, sixpence per

OUR COAL PRODUCTION.
America Has Mining Advantage
Not Possessed by Great
Britain.

After the lapse Of century OF ac.
tive mining, hundre1s OF rnrncns Of
tons of coal have been extracted from
the limited areas of Great Britain
and 1t has come to such a pass that
the high prices hitherto prevailing
are absolutely required to meet the
expenses Of production and transpor.
tation, for now il is necessary to 20
deeper into the ground for the coal
Thinner seams have been worked. the
more attractive deposits having been
exhausted. All the entries now are
long, comparatively few new mines
having been opened in Great Britain
In the last ten years, says a writer in
the Engineering Magazine.
A moments thought will make II
plain that underground haulage and
hosting are enormously expensive
methods OF transportation. and that
certainty that the factors will increase
in Importance every day, as the coal
industry grows older. makes It plain
that the United States coal fields. al.
most untouched as many of them are,
grow steadily in advantage as re-
CARDS the supply of the world. Cen
orally speaking, there is not a coal
mine in the seaboard bituminous re-
gions from which coal has to be hoist
ed. 1t can in every case be drawn out
IN cars, sometimes up a grade, Il is
true, but quite as often the cars run
down grade. Then, too, the Amer
lean mines are generally new. All
devices are contrived with the view OF
handling a large tonnage as economi-
cally as possible, and the present
shipper Of bituminous coal is not
hampered by arrangements made years
ago when trade requirements were
less important. Very notable, too,
have been the arrangements for the
transportation OF coal.

BIGGEST OF WATERSPOUTS.
Enormous Column That Was Seen b,
Vessels Crew in Gulf of
Mexico.

A column of water 90 or 10 feet IN
height that covered an area nearly
100 feet square was sight that Capt.
Liddle and the crew Of the steams hin
King Bleddyn. which arrived from
Mexico, off Campech) bank. saw on
the morning OF September IS.
Capt. Liddle, in describing the un-
usual spectacle 10 a New York Times
reporter, said:
1T was about 6:3O In the morning
of the 18th, when we were in latitude
23.14 and longitude s7O7, while off the
northeast end Of Campeche bank. in
the Gulf Of Mexico, that we observed a
column of water whirling in the air
at a height Of apparently co or 20
feet and covering an area that ap-
peared to be about 100 feet square.
"The column, which looked like
mass of steam, made a beautiful
sight as it snot into the air All
around IL the water was fOamng and
frothing Ike breakers IN a shoal. As
70 what il was, don't b low; II looked
ike a volcanic eruption, though I
never heard Of any volcanoes in that
region. It may have been de to an
upheaval caused by an earthquake"
Capt. Liddle said that the spectacle
was visible for half an hour, and that
as the King Bleddyn gradually sailed
out of sight of it the water calmed
down and then suddenly rose again,
shooting a steaming column high into
the air.
