an output of 650,000 barrels per annum.
1t is interesting to note that New York
city produces ten times that quantity,
and the entire United States produces
100 times that quantity The term ale
was used in England before the intro
duction of hops and probably came
from the Scandinavians.
Hops First Used In Germany.
The use of hops was derived from
Germany, and the name beer from
Germany was first applied to malt liq-
uor containing hops. 1t is interesting
to note that when the use of hops was
first introduced to England in 1649 the
English petitioned the king against the
use OF hops, saying this wicked weed
would spoil the drink and endanger the
lives of the people. At the same time
they also petitioned the king against
the use of coal for fuel in the city of
London because of the smoke which
it produced and which it was claimed
polluted the air.
The manufacture of beer involves
two separate and distinct operations.
First. mailing, and then brewing. The
object of mailing is to so change the
chemical composition of the contents
of the barley grain as to render them,
soluble in water, so as to produce a
liquid which can afterward be subject
ed to fermentation. The process con-
sists Of sleeping the barley in water
in order to soften the husks. The bar
ley swells in consequence and is then
placed on the floor of the malt house.
1t begins TO heat and to terminate.
and from the proteids of the malt there
is developed a curious substance call
ed diastase. which has the property
of attacking the starch and making it
soluble When the process of germi-
nation has reached d certain point the
barley grains are spread over a larger
field and turned over from time to time
to prevent overheating, and germina-
ton proceeds. When it has reached
the proper point, as determined by in
spection, the malt is subjected to kiln
drying, the purpose Of which is to ter
inmate termination, because if it is al
lowed TO go over the result would be
garden Of barley plants Of no further
value for beer making.
How the Brewing Is Done.
Next comes the brewing by which
the malt is converted into beer The
crushed malt is extracted in hot wa
ter. when the diastase completes its ac-
ton in changing the starch to dextrin
and maltese. One part Of diastase is
sufficient for 100000 parts of starch,
After the malt has been sufficiently
treated the solution is drawn off and
this constitutes the wort. The remain

ALLIES Use NORFOLK
AS COAL SUPPLY BASE
Officials Cannot Get Evidence that
Fuel Is Transhipped After
Boats Leave Port.

Collector Of Customs Hamilton. at Nor
folk. Va. sent to the Treasury Depart
ment yesterday an explanation of reports
that British steamers have been using
that port as base for supplying allied
warships with coal.
He said that undoubtedly the reports
had resulted from the clearance OF the
steamer Arlington Court. which had been
allowed to leave with $50 tons of coal.
some of which was loaded on her decks.
The ship had come from South America
and cleared for Leghorn. Italy. Her
captain explained his request for an ex-
traordinary supply OF coal on the ground
that it was very difficult to secure fuel
in the Mediterranean.
While they have no evidence that
ships clearing from United States
ports are transshipping SUPPLIES and
fuel to allied warships, officials do not
doubt that there have been such cases
Wide opportunity exists for such ac-
tion by freight steamers, inasmuch
as the port officials have no means Of
Checking up on the cargoes of the
ships after they have arrived in for
eign ports.

BOOST FOR OUR
RUSSIAN TRADE
The Cars $ Empire Abrogates
Treaties with Germany and
Austria-Hungary.
U. S. HAS OPPORTUNITY
Can Cement Commercial Relations
with that Country by Forming
Alliance at Once.
U. S. HAS OPPORTUNITY

Officials here see in the abolition by
Russia of the conventional t.S'ih
agreements between herself and Ger
many and Austria Hungary the pos
sibility of either the greatest blow or
the greatest boom to American trade
with Russia.
Russia's action presents TO the
United States government one Of the
greatest single trade opportunities II
erly, American trade with Russia can
be doubled. It is asserted. while II
advantage Is not taken Of this oppor-
tunity it is predicted that the United
States will be left at q greater dis.
advantage than ever before with re-
gard to exports to the territory Of the
Car.
The abolition OF the conventional
tariff with Germany and her ally is
regarded here as but the precursor
to the making Of new tariff treaties
between Russia and the other trading
nations. Whether the United States
trade with Russia is TO be greatly ex-
panded or whether il is to sink Into
insignificance depends. IL Is asserted,
on whether this government, takes ad-
vantage of the opportunity and makes
a favorable treaty with Russia. There
IS a growing sentiment in the admins
tration for the making of COM
mercial treaty with Russia, irrespec-
tive of the passport question.
Would Have to Wait for Gains.
Inasmuch as Russia is now importing
practically nothing except war mate
rials. it is not anticipated that there will
be any noticeable results Immediately
from the new tariff. The United States
enjoyed. despite the abrogation Of the
treaty of 1882. most favored nation treat
ment with regard to the Russian tariff.
and pending the making OF new tariff
treaties will not be any worse of than
any other country exporting to Russia.
II is regarded a. certain. however. that
Russia will at once begin the negotia-
ton of new tariff treaties. England and
France will be granted most favorable
terms.
The State Department Is satisfied that
not for generations. IL ever. will Ger
many and Austria again enjoy the par
ticularly favored tariff treatment ac-
corded them by Russia. and that conse-
quently the advantage taken away from
those two countries must necessarily
pass 10 others. officials here believe the
United States also can profit to a great
extent il it will take advantage of the
opportunity now presented by stepping
in and negotiating q trade treaty with
Russia.

AS mark of appreciation OF the
employer to the employees for spe-

min sale of the past week, the firm
of Saks & Co. entertained its EN-.
ployes at a formal dinner last night.
The occasion developed into a trade
family party, during which remini-
sciences were indulged in, humorous
stories told and ideal for the future
development of the firm discussed.
Isaac Cans made a happy address.
felicitating the banqueters on their de-
votion to the interests of Saks & Co.,
and assuring them that the firm ap-
preciated their labors in connection
with the Benjamin clearance sale. Its
results were more than gratifying and
he felt that their enthusiasm, devo-

busy time was of the greatest help
and in consequence this sale will pass
into the commercial history as one OF
less complaint and less annoyance than
is generally expected at SO stupendous
