Again, as the New Year opens up
and the figures of 1903 commences to
lose its full value. by the passing
away Of the dates on the calendar, one
naturally looks at the surroundings in
official life and speculates upon the
outcome of the indefinite future, espe-
cially as regards the hoped for change
for the better and which may be look
ed forward to as likely to form more
pleasant retrospective view than that
given prominence during the year
gone past.

Then comes the position Of Super
intcndent of Public Works, one of the
most important official positions in the
gift of the Governor and Senate of the
Territory and who, think you, holds
that? Wnen you touch the button of
inquiry the same old familiar face is
seen and the signature ends with Coo
per. And, in the ramifications of the
Official positions one will find that
Cooper is the dispenser of fate, and
official patronage in many place, but
the list would include titles and power
from the commander in chief of the
army to that of director, or superin-
tendent of the movements of the band.

Cooper is 1T as the Governor OF the
Territory; Cooper is 1T as the Secre-
tary. Cooper is 1T as the Superintend'
ent of Public Works of the Territory;
and Cooper is naturally 1T as the EX-
ecutive Council; for who would dare
say him nay? Dole is thoroughly
coopered up and the business abilities
and backbone which were hoped for
in him have become disrupted, if they
ever had existence; but, Dole aside,
the name of his present successor, by
its frequent repetition, is now men

NEW TEST FOR WINE.
A Recent Discovery That Has Been Made
in Paris.

Wine testing by telephone is the iates,

scrupulouS vendors will rot bless NJ.
Maneuvricr, assistant director of the
laboratory of researches OF the rarlh
faculty of sciences. He has lust discoN-
cred an infallihe method of ascertain
ing by the use of the telephone how much
gwen quantity of wine has been wa
tered. The principle upon which the in
vention rests is the variable conducti-
0ility of different liquids, notably of wine
and water. The originality of NJ.
Maneuvrier's ingenious application is his
ase OF the telephone to determine TO
what degree the liquid under observation
is a conductor. He has constructed an
apparatus which achieves this object
satisfactorily and accurately. BY means
of a chart, on which are set down in
tabular form the results Of various
necessary calculations made by NJ. Ma
neuvrier for the purpose. an operator
with the telephone can easily and in a
short while find out the exact proportion
Of water in the wine which he is testing.
whereas the chemical analysis processes
hitherto employed are lengthy, laborious
and costly.
The apparatus works as follows: Two
vessels, one containing wine known Ia
be pure, the other the same quantity OF
the wine TO be tested, are placed on an
instrument Outwardly resembling a pair
of scales. The telephone is in contact
with both liquids. If the sample of wine
under observation is as pure as the
standard used for comparisons no sound
is heard; if, on the contrary, il contains
water. the tell-tale telephone speaks"
and the greater the proportion of water
the louder the instrument complains. A
dial on which a number of figures are
marked is connected with the telephone.
TO ascertain the proportion of water in
the wine tested the operator moves
hand on the dial until the telephone.

relapses into silence. The hand has thus
been brought to a certain figure on the
dial. This number is then looked up in
Il chart which the ingenious and pains
taking inventor has drawn mp. and cor
responding TO it is found Indicated the
exact proportion of water contained in
the quantity of wine.

can, he says, be applied to the testing of
many other liquids, and even solids.

The LIQUOR Trade in Cuba.

IF the Cuban government was con-
trolled by the white ribbon temperance
societies of the north she could not have
taken a more decisive step against liquor
than she has done. The new tax placed
on liquors is SO very high that the liquor
dealers, distillers and all state that they
will have to go out of business and in
a. few days it is promised that those peo-
pie who want ''eye-openers" may have
to take lemonade or milk instead There
seems to be no doubt that the industry
in Cuba is killed. One of the Oldest
liquor firms in Cuba closed it's doors last
week, while in these columns this morn

announces that he is clearing out his
goods preparatory to retiring from bust
