BOUQUET OF WINES.
Delicate Processes by Which That
Attribute Is Formed.

From Science Of the Twentieth Century.
Some varieties OF grapes produce, in ia
vorable locations and good years. wines
famous for their bouquet. while the same
varieties yield. in ordinary conditions,
wines destitute Of bouquet If, In the
latter case. the must is sterilized and
then mixed with a specially cultivated
yeast a bouquet OF great intensity is OBJ
tanned. The same result is attained by
adding to the naturally fermented wine a
small amount OF sugar, sterilizing the
mixture and causing it to undergo a sec
ond fermentation under the influence of
the special yeast. Yeast does not trans
NIT to the must to which 1t is added the
bouquet of the wine from which the yeast
is obtained, but it develops the charac-
teristic bouquet of the variety TO which
the must itself belongs.
From these facts we may conclude that
the bouquet IS furnished by the must and
that the latter contains bouquet-fOrming
substances. which have not yet been iso-
lated and which are probably different in
each variety of grapes. The grapes con-
tain these substances In all circumstances.
but only in favorable conditions is yeast
formed which Is capable of developing a
bouquet from these substances. Hence the
difference between the naturally fer
mented wines of Il famous and an ordi-
nary vintage is determined less by the
quality of the grapes than by the quality
of the yeast that springs spontaneously
from them.
In developing the bouquet Of a wine by
steriliZing the must and then fermenting
il with a special yeast certain precautions
must be taken. Both the temperature Of
sterilization and that OF fermentation eX-
ert a marked influence on the bouquet
Too high a temperature of sterilization
destroys the flavor of the fruit and the
peculiar aroma of certain varieties If
the fermentation is conducted at too high
q temperature the volatile products which
con s.itute the bouquet are disengaged
with the carbonic acid produced by fer
mentation.

Brain Weight and Intelligence.


There is something very mournful in the

ed their lives to the study of the brain

assumption that there is direct ratio
between intelligence ana the bulk of the
BRAIN 1t would be about as valid to as
sumo that a vessel of water and a vessel
of I've Of the same weight have the same
potency, or that timepieces OF the same
weight are necessarily equally good time

STICK TO STRANDED STEAMER
CAPTAIN AND CREW OF THE
HARBURG ARE Merry.
Decline Assistance From Life-Savers,
Believing There Is No Danger.
Ashore in a Fog.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December PA large
German freight steamship. the Harburg.
ran ashore on the Fire Island bar Off
the Bellport life-saving station early
this morning in the fog. A life-saver of
the Bellport station patroling the beach,
heard the vessels whistles and made out
the glare of rockets through the murk.
The distress signals were heard about
p o'clock. at which time the surfman
notified the Bellport station. There was
quite heavy sea on when the Harburg
struck, and the life-savers brought out
their Lyle gun and fired a line to the
vessel. There was attempt, how
ever on the part of the crew to use the
apparatus. Later the sea quoted down
and the Bellport life saving crew put
of to the freighter in a surfboat
When the mists partly cleared it was
seen the vessel was about 500 yards off
shore. lying broadside to the beach. 1t
was about half tide on the ebb when the
vessel struck, and the life savers thought
the vessel could be got off the next tide
II the weather remained quiet
Almost on Even Keel.
The stranded vessel was heading west
and seemed almost on an even keel. y
wireless message was sent from the Fire
Island station to Staten Island asking the
assistance of the revenue cutter Mohawk
to get the vessel off.
Only a moderate sea was running later
in the morning, and the life savers re-
turned without any of the steamship S
crew. The vessel they said, was in no
immediate danger The Harburg is a
vessel of 2,S}7 tons ana was from Fowey,
England. with pipe clay She is a two
masted vessel. with two tunnels. and car
ries crew of forty men.
Dangerous bars run off shore at this
point and it is d hazardous neighborhood
in a fog.
Hard and Fast in the Sand.
With her crew of twenty-five men still
aboard, despite an increasingly rough sea,
the Harburg remained hard and fast to-
night in the sand.
Some of her cargo has been thrown over
board to make it easier for the tugs to
float her, but on account of the rough
sea 1t was thought no attempt would be
made to get her off until tomorrow.
Capt. Suhr declined the assistance of
the life savers in the belief that he and
his men were in no immediate danger.

Winter Wheat

A few farmers experimental with
winter wheat in this county the past
year, and the result was favorable
enough to create quite little inter-
est in that direction.
Former Sheriff John Struif, of
Howell. had in about Is acres of
winter wheat, which threshed out q
bushels. He intends increasing the
acreage to winter wheat.
Mr. Ferree, of Holden. got a 20
bushel yield from his winter wheat
and only 10 from his spring wheat:
The former escaped the rust, while
the latter was considerably reduced
by its work of a few days.
There have been other attempts
made to grow winter wheat here,
with Indifferent success. However,
it has been a noticeable experience
of the western states that the spring
wheat had the greatest success in the
new soil, to be followed later by
winter wheat and m ore feed crops.

CHOKED TO DEATH
in WOLSEY MILL
Drunken Men Quarrel, and One
Kills the Other

The body of young man about
26 years of age was discovered Mon
day night at the old mill near VOL
sey. The marks on the body showed
signs that the man had been treated
roughly. first killed by strangling
and then his head beaten in while
unconscious.
The coroner's inquest brought out
the following facts in the murder of
the man, Geo. l.. Stewart, Of Brook
ings. The name of the murderer is
Louie Racey, a farm hand near VOL
sey. The two men met in saloon
at Wolsey in the afternoon and after
drinking for some time a dispute
arose. After supper Racey enticed
Stewart to the old mill where he
got him in his power and choked him
to death. The sheriff arrested
Racey and took hiR to Huron. Ex-
animation was waived and Racy was
bound over.
