WHY CHAMPAGNE IS POPULAN.

THE PUREST OF WINES.

Champagne increases in popularity Overy year. It has long ceased to be regarded as ostentation; it has almost ceased to be accepted as a luxury. To many it has become a necessity, and by doctors it in regarded as the best medicine in the world.

People are at last understanding how to drink champagne," said Mr. Constant Mertens, the representative of the great house of St. Marceaux, to a Standard representative, which prides itself on cellars at Rheims of over three and a-half maintaining a constant stock in its million bottles--thirty-six vaults in the doop chalk cellars, each vault containing 100,000 bottles Champagne should never The annual rings of five yellow pines be taken with fruit or sweata; it should noer Flagstaff, Ariz., have given a rain-be served with the joint, after having fall record extending back 500 years.

The view is con firmed by the fact that astronomers recog nize a few days near the middle of November es a period of detonating fire balls.

The freshness and body of Ver zenay. the softness of Bonzy, the delicacy of Oramant, the bouquet of Aij must all be combined to produce a wine which in one glass contains all the wonders of the Champagne country.

A NOVEL SPONGE.- The metallic sponge of M. Hannover, a Dane, has been described to the French Academy of Sciences as an alloy of lead and antimony, prepared in a sponge-like mass enclosing air spaces of varying size. Use for it is found as an absorbent of oils, resins, and similar substances.

PROPELLERS IN CANALS. Remedies for the erosion of canals by the wash from vessels have been worked Lut in Germany, and include a change in the shape of the canal, the use of twin propellers, and steering with two rudders. Evon the moderate traffic of the first five. years caused such a deposit of eroded material along the banks of the Ems Dertmund Canal that room was not left for two boats to pass. This Ind to a change in canal construction, and all German canale now have their bottoms sloped down to the centre line

In a recent investigation by the Hydraulic and Shipbuilding Laboratory at Char- lottenburg, a model of the Ems-Dart mand and Rhine-Canals on a wcale of one. tenth has been constructed. On this model motor boats have been run, and after about 2,000 round trips it was found that tugs with one propeller gave much greater erosion than those with two. It further appeared that the minimum wearing effect was with the two propellers turned away from each other, as when turned toward each other fifteen per cent. more revolutions were reanired for the same speed. The rudder produced a very material wearing, but when two smaller rudders were substituted 100 voyages wero made without erosion,
