The birds are caught by means of a hook on the end of a long pole, and they are branded on the beak either with the royal monogram or that of one of the companies. Usually the man who uoes the branding deprives the swan marked by him of one of its feathers, which he sticks in his cap as a trophy.

Wide World Magazine. Testing Wine by Telephone. Wine testing by telephone is the latest application of electricity In Paris. Unscrupulous vendors will not bless M. Maneuvrier, assistant director ot the laboratory of researches of the Paris faculty of sciences. He has just discovered an infallible method of ascertaining by the use ot the telephone how much a given quantity of wine has been watered. The principal on which the invention rests is the variably conductibility of different liquids, notably of wine and water. The originality of M. Maneuvriers ingenious application is his use of the telephone to determine to what degree the llqu'd under observance Is a conductor. The apparatus 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 Instrument 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 the standard used for comparison, no sound Is heard; if, on the contrary, it contains water, the telephone speaks, and the greater the proportion of water tha louder the instrument complains. A dial on which a number of figures are marked Is connected with the telephone. To ascertain the proportion of water In the wine tested the operator moves a hand on the dial until the telephone, which has been speaking all this time, relapses 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 Inventor uas drawn up, and corresponding to it Is found indicated the exact proportion of water contained In the quantity of wine. M. Maneuvriors remarkable Invention, can, he says, be easily applied to the testing of many other liquids and even solids, which may be adulterated by the addition of foreign matter possessing a conductibility different to that of the original substance.
