Wine Testing by Telephone. Wlno tostlng by telephono Is tho lat est contrlvanco of a Paris Inventor. Unsorupuloun vondors will not blamo M. Manouvrler, assistant director of tho laboratory of researches of tho Paris faculty of sciences. Ho has Juat discovered an Infalllblo mothod of as certaining by tho use of tho tolophono bow much a given quantity of wine has been watored. The principle on which tho Invontlon rosts Is the variable con ductlvity or different liquids, notably of wine and wator. Tho aparatus works as follows: Two vessols, one containing wlno known to be pure, tho other tho aarao quantity of tho wine to bo tested, aro placed on an Instru ment outwardly resembling a pair of ficalos. Tho telephono Is In contact with both liquids. If tho Bamplo of wlno undor observation Is as puro as mo standard used for comparison no eound la heard; If, on the contrary, It contains water, tho telltalo telephon "speaks, and tho greater the propor tion of water tho louder tho Instru ment complains. A dial on which a number of figures are marked Is con nected with the telephone. To ascer tain tho proportion of water In tho wlno tested, the oporator movoa a baad on tho dial until tho telephone, which has been "apoaklng" all this time, lapses Into sllenco. Tho hand bau thus been brought to a cortaln figure on tho dial. This number Is then looked up In a chart which tho ingenious and painstaking lnventoi has drawn up, and corresponding to H is found 'Indicated the exact propon Clon of water contained in tho quan tity of wlee.
