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

From the Loncon Telegraph.
Wine testing by telephone is the latest
application of electricity in Paris. Unscru-
pulous vendors will not bless M. Maneuv-
rier, assistant director Of the laboratory of
researches of the Paris faculty of sciences.
He has just discovered an infallible method
of aScertaining by the use of the telephone
how much a given quantity of wine has
been watered. The principle upon which
the invention rests is the variable conduct-
bility of different liquids, notably of wine
and water. The originality of M. Maneuv
rier's ingenious application is his use 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 ac-
curately. By means of a chart, on which
are set down in tabular form the results Of
various necessary calculations made by M.
Maneuvrier for the purpose, an operator
with the telephone can easily and in 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, 1aborious and costly.
The apparatus works as follows: Two
vessels, one containing wine known to be
pure the other the same quantity of the
wine to be tested, are placed on an instru-
ment outwardly resembling pair of scales.
The telephone is in contact with both
liquids. If the sample of wine under OBJ
servation is as pure the standard used
for comparisons no sound is heard: If, on
the contrary, 1t contains water, the tell
tale telephone Speaks" and the greater
the proportion of water the louder the in
strument complains. dial which
number of figures are marked Is connected
with the telephone To ascertain the pro-
portion of water in the wine tested the
opera tor moves a hand on the dial until
the telephone, which has been speaking"
all this time, relapses into silence. The
hand has thus been brought to a certain
figure on the dial. This number is then
looked up in a chart which the ingenious
and painstaking inventor has drawn up,
and corresponding to, it is found Indicated
the exact proportion Of water contained in
the quantity of wine
M. Maneuvrier's remarkable invention
can, he says. be easily applied to the test
ing of many other liquids. and even solids,
which may be adulterated by the addition
of foreign matter possessing conductibil-
ity different to that of the original SUBJ
stance.

SENSES OF REPTILES.
Have Power to Divine the Presence of
Water.

From the Literary Digest.
Some surprising and noteworthy conclu-
sions this point have been reached by
German naturalist, Werner of Vienna,
who has recently reported the results or
observations that he has been making for
some time on the senses of inferior verte-
brates Says the Revue Scientifique in not
ing these results:
On certain points the conclusions of M.
Werner are very surprising, and In all they
are worthy of notice. Werner has observed
1876 individuals of which one-third were at
liberty, and he took all possible precau-
tons not to let tile creatures know that
they were watched. One general fact Is
very evident, that reptiles and amphibians
are strongly attracted by water. They go
straight toward 1t, even when they are at
distances so great that they could not di-
vine it's presence by any of the senses
known to us. 1t seems really that sense
of which we have no knowledge informs
them of the direction in which water may
he found . There seems to be
sort of chemical attraction, says M. Wer-
ner. But how does this act, and on what
part of the creature? This remains mys-
terry. Reptiles also seek the light. but in
dependently of heat; they are positively
heiiotropic, and in winter they often leave
comfortable and warm retreats to seek the
sunlight. Sight is generally good with
them 1t is probably the finest sense that
they possess, but 1T would still appear to be
very limited The caymans and the croc-
odiles cannot distinguish a man at a dis
lance of more than six times their length
according to Werner. In the water fishes
see only at very close range-about half
their own length This will seem perhaps
unlikely to anglers. although some of them
can cite instances showing that fish cannot
see far Snakes seem to have very me-
diocre sense of sight. The boa, for exam
pie, does not see at more than quarter or
a third of its own length; different species
are limited to one-fifth or one-eighth of
their length Frogs are better off; they see
at fifteen or twenty times their length

Smart and Smarter.
From the New York Times

From the New York Times.
Into the Jersey City station of the Penn
sylvania railroad sauntered a portly man.
He wore a chesty look and carried an UNI
brella. Advancing to one of the benches,
he pulled a chain and paddock from his
pocket, ran one end of the chain through
the open handle and made the umbrella
fast to the seat. Then he said to man
sitting there:
I've Travelled all over this country for
five years and know a thing or two
Then he walked away.
The man who sat there got up He
had a check suit and a smooth cheek. He
stepped up to the umbrella, pulled file
from his pocket, rubbed it to and fro across
one of the links in the chain for few
minutes, loosening the umbrella Then he
said to another man:
IF the Teller who is smarter than chain
lightnin' comes back after his parasol tell
him the chap you saw a-walkin' off with
it never was off the farm afore."

Strange Creature Said to Exist in
Alaskan Waters.
From Forest and Stream.

From Forest and Stream.
While operating q fishery on Admiralty
Island, Alaska last summer. my attention
and the attention of the fishing crew was
almost daily attracted to large marine
creature that would appear in the main
channel of Seymour canal and our immedi-
ate vicinity.
There are large numbers of whales or
the species rorqual there. and the mon
ster seemed to be their natural enemy The
whales generally travel in schools, and
while at the surface to blow one would
be singled out and attacked by the fish,
and a battle was soon in order.
1t is the nature of the rorGual to make
three blows at intervals of from two to
three minutes each. and then sound deep
and stay beneath the surface for thirty or
forty minutes.
As whale would come to the surface,
there would appear always at the whale S
right slider and Just about where his head
would connect with the body. a great, long
tail or fin. Judged by five fishermen and a
number of Indians after seeing ii about
fifteen times at various distances to be
about twenty-four feet long. two and one
half feet wide at the end and tapering

about eighteen inches in diameter looking
very much like the blade of the fan of an
old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
This great club was used on the back
OF the unfortunate whale in such a manner
that II was wonder to me that every
whale attacked was not instantly killed
It's operator seemed to have perfect control
of its movements. and would bend it back
till the end would touch the water, forming
a horseshoe loop, then with a sWeep II
would be Strengthened and brought over and
down on the back of the whale with a
whack that could be heard for several
miles. If the whale was fortunate enough
to submerge his body before the blows came,
the spray would fly for distance of one
hundred feet from the effect of the strike.
making report as loud as yachts signal
gun.
What seemed most remarkable to me was
that no matter which way the attacked
whale went or how fast Che usual speed
is about fourteen knots) that great club
would follow right along by it's side and de-
liver those tremendous blows at intervals
OF about four or five seconds. 1t would al
ways get in from three to five blows st
each of the three times the whale would
come to the surface to blow. The whale
would generally rid itself of the enemy
when 1t took it's deep sound. especially if
the water was forty fathoms more deep.
During the day the attack was always off
shore. but at night the whales would be at
tackled In the bay and within four hundred
yards of the fishery.
l do not know Of any whales being killed,
but there were several that had great
holes and sores on their backs.
Questioning the Indians about it. / was
told that there was only one. that it had
been there for many years. and that 1t
once attacked an Indian canoe and with
one stroke of the great club mashed the
canoe into splta.ers. killing and drowning
several of its occupants.

Public Mems Nicknames.

From the London Chronicle.
Public men nowadays are not branded
with nicknames as were the notabilities OF
a century ago. Indeed, the only politician
who is not always called by his name is Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, who is popu-
larly known as "C.-B" The names of some
big men of the past will be recalled when
the Creevcy memoirs, which Sir Herbert
Maxwell is editing, are published. The
Duke of Wellington was known as the
Beau" Sir Robert Peel as Spinning
Jenny" Lord Palmerston as Cupid and
Charles Greville as Punch" King George
III was frequently called "Old Nobs,"
while Our Billy was the familiar title OF
William w. Thomas Creevey was nota-
BILE character in his day, and Ia referred ia
in the Greville memoirs.
