MENACES FOR CALIFORNIA WINE

NNleN' w ILINNo-
 One of the dangers that threatens the new prosperity of the wine industry is that a proper care may not be taken to keep up and advance the quality of California wines. Charles r. Oldham, who has made an extensive study of California wines with a view of pro- noting their export to Great Britain, says in an article contributed to the Review: "California has of late years been acknowledged to be taking place as one of the few countries in the world where fine dry wines, as well as good ordinary wines can be and are produced If however, in the replanting of vine yards only common and heavy bearing varieties be planted, the industry will in few years fall back again, and be greatly discredted and there will then be a great scarcity of fine types of wine just as they are beginning to be more known, appreciated, and sought after.
 Charles Bundschu gives a similar warning against the tendency to pro- duce large quantities of cheap wines or wines at minimum prices, instead Of higher class wines In the course of his contribution to the Review he says:"When the ultimate aim of all the great wine-producing countries is lost sight of in order to give way exclus- ively to the handling of bulk wines, and to the crushing of grapes on the mechanical method of so many tons a day distributing the juice in giant yats without discrimination of growth,

and where two trains pass, when and where engineer first noticed flag and If he signalled, time consumed in stop ping after flag was noticed, when and where brakes were applied, how long an engineer is on duty, just where the locomotive is and what it is doing every day and week, and how much steam is wasted every day.
 One of the objections made to the ma chine is that it attempts to record too much This objection looks reasonable at first sight, but in these days it is not we'll to be too skeptical about any new invention.

AN ENTOUS DEYTCE.

An ingenious machine the invention of minister, is now being tried on a western and an eastern railroad It is called a railroad chronometer, and it move made by a locomotive. One part of the machine is automatic and shows rung, whenever valve is opened or the air applied. It also shows the speed steam or too little, and the time made and distance covered by the engine. Another part of the machine, which is non- automatic, allows the engineer to record station stop, an accident of any nature, or anything else he may desire to make a memorandum of. Among other things that the inventor claims for his device are the following: Every blast of the whistle, the exact time and place; speed, every minute, hour, day, and week, time and place train breaks in two, speed when train parted, place on road of said parting, speed arriving at and departing from a station, and name of station, time consumed switch ing at any station, number of miles covered in switching at any station, how close a train is followed by an other or any number of others, when

origin and variety). then predict tha
 a serious step towards the decadenct of our wine industry has been taken 1 step which is bound to iniure sooner | or later the fair reputation which we are all striving to build up, and succeed in establishing after almost a semi century of strife and struggle,
 While warnings such as these should be carefully needed, the present situa- ton is sufficiently good to incline many persons to be indifferent to them. There is strong demand for more wine. P
 T. Morgan, president of the California Wine association, says: Unless plant ing is prosecuted vigorously the demand may outrun the supply, and remunera- tive markets for a California product
 may be supplied from other sources. There is very little danger of over planting in dry wine countries. The production and consumption are today almost equal, and beyond the natural increase in consumption, the supply ing new countries acquired from Spain as a result of the late war; and the eX- banding markets of the Orient, will have to be looked after, as well as Cuba, whose annexation to the United States can only be matter of a short time"
 An important feature of the problem of making markets for California wines is presented by Andrea Sbarboro in 8 plea for better supply of wine by hotels at lower prices. After pointing out that the consumption of Califor- mia wine by the American people is increasing, he notes that there is room for improvement, and adds: "The ho- tels and restaurants should serve their patrons with wines at lower rates than they now charge. When they serve an excellent dinner for fifty cents it is ab- surd to charge seventy-fve cents or one dollar for bottle of wine"
 There is much yet for our wine men to learn and many improvements to be made, but it seems clear that the worst years of the industry are over, and that California is about to take her rightful rank among the wine coun- tries of the world.-San Francisco Call.

QUEER WORK.

A queer and sad state of things has come to light in Norwich in this State. The Bulletin of that city offered prizes for the best stories written by young people who might choose to compete. Fifty stories were sent to the commit tee appointed to judge of their merits, and the committee would have been ready with its decision last week had not the fact been revealed that a story likely to take the first prize had been cribbed by the sender from an old copy of Harpers Round Table and it won first prize in that publication years ago. And the Bulletin adds: We have the proof that three of the stories sent and published were not original Should "cribbed'' story take one of the Bull letin prizes and the knowledge of the fact be brought to our attention we should feel compelled to make the inn poster return the money and also should expose the name of the offender The Bulletin does not care to do this it prefers to defer the announcement until after all the stories have been printed and have been scrutinized by our eage-e eyed detectives. We are sus- picious of at least three other stories in our hands, all of which in due time will appear, unless the senders give notice that they do not care to have them pub lished.
 This isn't very encouraging. Some of evidently have more ambition than

OUGHT TO HATE 1T.

We don't know what the grounds for
 divorce in Maine are, but we do know that Mrs. Elizabeth V. Riggs of Bow
 doinham in that State has enough grounds for divorce to entitle her to freedom in any place where the law IS what it ought to be. She wants di- sible. In her complaint it appears that when she was 16 she went to work for the first Mrs Riggs. When the first Mrs. Riggs died, the WidoWer asked Elizabeth to marry him. He was then "A she % She consented, on condi- tion that he was to give her $25 a year spending money, let her take piano les sons, let her go to parties, never ask her to work in the barn, keep COW for her, and let her father live with them. The wedding occurred five years ago. She now tells the court that Riggs broke his promises, drove her father out of the house, sold her COW, wouldn't give her money, wouldn't pay for ne- cessary surgical operation on her jaw, constantly said the most hateful and things to her. and made her go to church in the old farm wagon when she wanted to go in the carriage.
 Elizabeth will find sympathy wherever her sad case is known. She was extremely reasonable in her ante nuptial dicker with MT. Riggs, and he has been extremely foolish as we'll as extremely wicked in not carrying out his part of the bargain.

Sheriff Pearson of Portland, Maine, has been telling of his success in clos- ing the open saloons of the largest city in Maine. He says; When l took the of flee of sheriff there were 271 open sa- looms in Portland; there is not one to- day, and I will give s100 to any man who can prove to me that there is an open saloon in Cumberland county Seventy thousand dollars in bonds were placed on my desk one afternoon, in an endeavor to induce me to permit cer- tain brand of whiskey and a brand of beer to be sold there. 1 was called Q fool for not accepting it. When I be- came sheriff the county jail was filled with the poor victims of rumsellers.

A French scientist claims that he can fix the age of porcelain vases by testing them with magnets. The iron in clay Is magnetized in the direction of the com pass needle, and the direction is fixed when the clay is baked. Knowing the dip and "declination" of the needle at various times in past centuries, the age of vases may be computed

Japan is to have a grand internation- al exhibition next year. and every in ducement will be given to manufactur- CTS all over the world to contribute to it. Osaka, which is at once the Man chester and Venice of Japan, is the chosen place, and as, next to Tokyo, it is the most populous city in the empire a better selection could not have been made. The first industrial exhibition was held in Tokyo in 1877, the same year that saw the abolition of the wear ing of swords by the Samurai That was purely national, and since then several exhibitions have been held in the capital Osaka is so crowded with houses and intersected by canals that there might be difficulty in finding space for an exhibition ground were it not for the fact that most of the build ings are of so fiimsy description that they can be cleared away and built again at very small expense of labor and money.

The people of Ontario are to be given another chance to say whether or not they desire the prohibition of the liquor traffic, the government having been pledged to prepare bill which, when passed by the legislature, will be sub mitted to a popular vote. The plebis- cite of 1898 did not develop much inter- est in the question, for of every 100 vot CTS only twenty-three voted of whom eighteen were for and five against pro- hibition. This was decided to be prac- tically no vote.

There is curious growth of trees at Tilden's Point Maine. Three yellow birch trees are growing on pine stump. The tree, which was about two and half feet in diameter, is thought to have been cut down some fifty years ago, leaving stump three and half feet high. The seeds of the birch must have lodged on this stump and as they grew they sent their roots down it's sides to reach the ground. The three trees are, respectively five, six and seven inches in diameter.
