detailing report OF the American wines in
Paris. the Department OF Agriculture has
obtained from Mr.. Henry Lachman long
monograph on the manufacture Of wines in
California. Mr.. Lachman is a Californian
and Is a wine expert OF high repute These
two reports have been included under one
cover in bulletin No. Y Of the bureau OF
chemistry and were issued today. In his re-
port DR.. Wiley says:
1T is a remarkable fact that American
wines are largely replacing other wines In
the London markets. and their qualities OF
strength, color and purity have commended
throughout the world. 1t Is not claimed
that in this country we have yet had the
experience: and the skill to produce wines OF
the highest type, but we do produce wines
OF excellent qualities and Of undoubted
purity and whoiesomeness.
+ FIT Is now well established that the char
acter., Of q wine depends solely upon its
chemical composition. It Is further estab-
lished that this character depends, first.
upon the constitution Of the grape itself,
and second upon the changes to which the
grape juices are subjected in passing from
the fresh state to that of the finished wine.
These changes are wholly OF a chemical
nature, and are induced chiefly by certain
chemical reagents known as ferments The
character Of the fermentation depends upon
the nature of the ferments and the environ
ment to which they are subjected; in other
words, what Is known in making wines as
the cellar treatment.
I'VE have been fortunate in securing the
collaboration Of Mr.. Henry Lachman. a
wine expert Of the highest ability in fur
nishing description Of the cellar methods
employed in California, where the wine
makers have learned by experience what
cellar methods will give the best results
in that particular environment. The high
temperatures which often prevail during
the fermenting season in California pro-
duce, perhaps, the most disturbing influ-
ence of any part of the environment upon
the fermentation. Hence the character of

Enlarged Heart Of the Golfer,

From the New York Herald. ..-.
Accepting the testimony given in the su-
preme court by a medical expert that fully
ninety-six per cent of the young and ath-
letic men Of today are afflicted with en-
larged hearts we should certainly hear
more Of this now fashionable malady. The
statement Is 30 bold, explicit and sweeping
that all golfers. base ball players. bicyclists
and runners may well stand in terror. Their
only retaliation is a general demand Of the
fact. In such course they will evidently
be supported by the majority of medical
authorities. 1t Is just such absurd asser-
lions as the one in question that tend to
bring general professional opinion into ridi-
Guile on matters pertaining to public health.
The heart of the sturdy and well trained
golfer is larger than that Of his weaker
brother, and why should 1t not be? In a
way all the organs of the body must be de-
keeps up naturally to it's compensatory
level or vigor. When gradually trained to
such growing necessities there should be
no more danger In developing the heart
muscle than in increasing the size OF the
biceps In fact, one of the we'll recognized
methods Of treating weak hearts is to slim
ulate them to extra exertion by climbing
mountains, taking brisk walks and the like.
SO long as the development Is gradual no
harm can come of it. When damage re-
suits 1t Ia mostly from sudden strain. Short
of this the trained athlete should feel no
special concern. 1t is likely, them that he
will continue his sport as before. in spite
of the sensat ional scare OF the hour, and

Is accomplished and the methods of con-

bearing upon the labels names of foreign
origin, opens question Of grave consid-
Grafton for our wine makers. While the
representative Of the United States on the
jury protested against what he considered
the injustice Of the action of the jury, the
wisdom of the use OF such labels is ex-
tremely doubtful 1t is to be hoped that as
a result Of this complication our wine
makers will be led to exclude eventually
from their labels any. name which could
have any influence whatever in misleading
the purchaser of a wine IN regard to it's
identity or character. The names Of our
own wines, established by their real merits,
would be sufficient advertisements to~ex-
tend their consumption, not only to all
parts Of our own country, but even, as In
now the case, to other countries"
