Before the testing chemist employs that
strange instrument he must take a distiIlate
Of the suspected liquor. Edward J. Kelley,
Kenney's assistant, made such a test for The
New York Tribune few days ago. Pouring
about single swallow Of cheap claret into a
test tube, Mr.. Kelley measured out ten cubic

centimeters of this red wine Then he meas-
ured out a similar amount of filtered water
and poured the two into retore, beneath
which blazed blue gas flame When half
this liquor had been distilled he placed the
distillate in a small glass, trifie more slen.
der than an ordinary whisky glass.
Thus far the chemist had employed pre-
cisely the same operation by which all .bey
erage alcohol is distilled. The distilling oyer
alton was necessary, because the light test re-
quires that clear liquor be used.
The distillate in the tiny glass was then
sunk into pan of water through one of a
row of holes in metal covering. Then he
placed one end of the refractometer into the
liquor and applied one eye to the other end.
The refractometer resembles an unmounte,f
microscope. The lower end is a stick of erys-
tai about the size Of thumb. It is this

planned Mr.. Kenney ''The angle of refrac-
tion in alcohol is sharper than in water No
two oils, for example, have the same refras-
tive index"
Don't go on" he was told. 'It is all just
clear relativity.''
THAT is the reason we use this system Of
measurements is so simple, accurate ard
speedy" he replied. ''It only takes abort
three minutes for a chemist to testify IN one
of these cases. All the time is lost in travel

and the waiting at the courtroom.
when the chemist takes the stand he does
SO as an expert witness. He Is asked: Have
you ever seen this bottle before? How was it
sealed and marked? Did you examine the
contents? What do you find?,' Then he gives
the amount of alcohol by volume. Then he is
asked: rs it a beverage? wine OF whis~
ky?' Rarely is there any cross-examination.'
The answer to the vital questions Of this
examination are all found by looking down the
barrel of the refractometer at the crystal on
the end. But it takes crystal gamer 10 read
