Wine Testing by Telephone
Wine testing by telephone is the lat
est contrivance of a Paris inventor
Unscrupulous venders will not blame
M Maneuvrler assistant director of
the laboratory of researches of the
Paris faoulty of sciences He has just
discovered an infallible method of as
certaining by the use of the telephone
how much a given quantity pi wine has
been watered The principle on which
the invention rests Is the variable con
ductivity or different liquids notably
of wine and water The aparatus
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 a pair of
scales The telephone is in contact
with both liquids If the sample of
wine under observation is as pure as
tue standard used for comparison no
sound Is heard If on the contrary It
contains water the telltale telephone
speaks and the greater the propor
tion of water the louder the instru
ment complains A dial on which a
number of figures are marked is con
nected with the telephone To ascer
tain the proportion of water in the
wine tested the operator moves a
hand on the dial until the telephone
which has been Bpeaklng all this
time lapses 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 inventoi
has drawn up and corresponding to it
is found indicated the exact propon
Hon of water contained in the quan
tity of wine

CHANGE OF PLAN
NEW METHOD OF CH008ING U 8
CONSULS
THE PRESIDENT INTRODUCES IT
Hencofortth Men Appointed Must
Have Experience New System Will
Insure Improvement in Service and
Benefit Commercial Interests
OYSTER BAY An important
change of policy with respect to the
making of appointments In the con
sular service has been decided upon
by President Roosevelt He discuss
ed the change with Assistant Secre
tary of State Fricis B Loomis
For many years it has been prac
tically the uniform practice of presi
dents to appoint men to positions in
the consular service
without reference to
substantially
whatever pre-
vlous experience they may have had
Quite naturally the president endeav
ored to select for appointment men
of integrity and ability but experi
ence was not a determining factor in
the equation President Roosevelt
after consulting with Secretary Hay
Assistant Secretary Loomis and mem
bers of his cabinet not immediately
identified with the state department
has determined to appoint hereafter
to important places in the consular
service men who already had served
and who have had experience and
training in minor positions which will
render them the more capable of fill
ing places of higher grade and great
er importance
The change in policy does not ex
tend the civil service to the consular
service and it does not extend nec
essarily a consuls tenure of office at
any particular place but it is pointed
out it does give reasonable assurance
to the manufacturing and commercial
interests of the United States which
are interested in the extension of the
countrys foreign trade that in a com
paratively short time all consular po
sitions will be filled not only by men
of character and ability but by men
who by training and experience are
especially qualified to advance the
business interests of the United
States
Mr Loomis discussed with the pres
ident several appointments in the ser
vice that are to be made very soon
It is understood that all of the ap
pointees will be men who now are
filling places of lesser importance in
the service They are to be promot
ed and in turn their places will be
filled by men who have not had the
experience they have had
SHAW TALKS PLAIN TO FARMERS
Says Agriculture Has Not Kept Pace
with Other Industries
COLUMBUS O Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw arrived here Friday
He delivered an address at the fair
grounds He did not mention the cur
rency question in his speech confin
ing himself to general agricultural
topics He declared that in its econ
omies agriculture had not kept pace
with other industries saying
You grow a fat pig or steer but
the chances are that you cannot tell
whether he costs you 3 cents or 5
cents a pound to produce When
these are marketed every bit of waste
ceases every by product is saved and
it is known to the fraction of a cent
what each has cost
At the risk of offending some I
am going to say that if I questioned
the first ten farmers I met in adjoin
ing states nine would tell me how pro
ductive their farms used to be how
much butter they used to make and
how much hay they used to produce
There is no excuse for land deterior
ating and as certain as day economy
must be practiced on the farm as it is
in the factory packing house and re
finery The by products must be turn
ed to profitable account

European Powers Take Active Meas

WASHINGTON Minister Lelsh
man has cabled the state department
that owing to the disturbed condi
tions in Constantinople an additional
kavass or detective force has been
stationed at the American legation
ThlB action was taken on the sug
gestion of the Turkish government
which has assured the American min
ister that Jt will use every precau
tion to protect all foreigners but has
warned the different embassies and
legations that It would be well to
strengthen the force inside the build
ings
In case a necessity develops It is
probable that the Turkish govern
ment will allow the United States
to send a detachment of marines
from the squadron which is expected
to arrive at Beyroon at once The
United States has no authority to
send a warship through the Dardan
elles and would have to have the con
sent of Turkey and also that of other
European powers to do so
Minister Leishman in his cable
grame informed the department that
a number of governments have land
ed marines in Constantinople for the
protection of the embassies

Shamrock III did not finish
NEW YORK Reliance the Ameri
can cup defender on Thursday won
the third and final race and the serleE
for that famous sea trophy Americas
cup In a dense fog which prevented
vision beyond 200 yards the defender
finished the race at 53002 amid the
acclamations of the assembled float
Shamrock III after running for
more than an hour in the fog missed
the finish line passed by it and then
returned to it from the opposite di
rection As Reliance was then being
towed through the fleet the yachts en
sign fluttered from its truck and
spreaders in celebration of its victory
Shamrock III did not cross the finish
line As often said of the historic race
when America won the cup There
was no second
This successful race was achieved
only after four futile attempts to sail
off the final race and after the out
come had been admitted by even Sir
Thomas Lipton to be a foregone con
clusion Todays was the eighth at
tempt to sail a race After one fluke
Reliance won the following races one
by 7 minutes and 3 seconds and the
other by 1 minute and 19 seconds
A week ago the first attempt to sail
the third race failed and others have
failed every day this week On the
first occasion Reliance led Shamrock
to the finish line by two miles but
failed to reach it before the expiration
of the time limit of five and a hall
hours Today5s victory means that
the cup is destined to remain in Amer
ica until England is able to produce a
genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht
designing
Rarely if ever has there been a
more spectacular finish than Re
liances After racing over an hour
at terrific speed through a blinding
fog Reliance burst through the wall
of mist upon the vision of the spec
tators on the fleet assembled at the
finish line and heeling under a great
bellying balloon jib topsail until its
lee rail was awash flew across the
finish line almost before the spectators
could determine for a certainty that
it was the defender Once more the
Yankee boat had added to the long
string of victories in contests for the
honored old silver trophy that carried
with it the blue ribbon of the sea

there seems to be no reason why the
United States should not retain the
cup for many years to come since
it seems that Great Britain has some
thing to learn from America in the
matter of yacht building

general feeling when paying a trib

The Popular Fad of Munching
i One of the popular fads In Newport
at present Is munching which
means merely eating very slowly
Munching is one of the numerous pre
ventives of growing avoirdupois and
as It has the recognition of King Ed
ward it is naturally regarded with
much favor in Newport The theory
is that every particle of food must be
chewed slowly and carefully until no
solid material remains to be swal
owed Slow eating is merely carried
to an extreme by the new treatment
All London society threatened with
too much flesh Is said to be chewing
very long and very thoroughly and
American converts to the system are
ahready numerous Its effect is said
to be noticeable at dinners which have
some to be known as munching parties
and are much less vivacious than they
were when eating and drinking went
pn rapiafy Persons who eat slowly
also eat much less than those who eat
rapidly

a personal experience which is very
interesting
I am an old Federal soldier
writes Mr Hicks and shortly after
the close of the war I was taken sick
I had aches and pains all over me
fluttering of the heart and stomach
trouble I Just simply was never a
moment without pain I could not
sleep at night and I wa3 always tired
and fearfully weak
I tooK medicine all the time but
for a long time I was more dead than
alive Altogether I suffered for over
twenty years and I believe I would
have been suffering yet or In my
grave if I had not read of Dodds Kid
ney Pills
I got an almanac which told me of
this remedy and I bought some of it
1 started with three pills a day but
increase 1 the dose to six pills a day I
had not used many till my pains be
gan to disappear I kept on and now
I can sleep and eat as well as ever I
could and 1 feel like a new man with
no pains or aches left
I will always recommend Dodds
Kidney Pills for they axe a wonderful
remedy
Much of our happiness depends upon
the amount of affection we are ca
