Keith’s other illustrations express, as do most of Miss Coolbrith’s poems, serenity, gladness and joy of life. Their spirit is suggested by the lines respectively accom- panying them: “How bright the sunset glory lies,”” “0 skies, serene and blue!” and “How its voice shall wake!” | the last portraying the rushing brook when the sunshine of spring has unlocked ts music.

As the bacteria produce the deadly ptomaines the veasts produce alcohol. Small amounts of “alcohol produce no great injurious effect on the yeast, but when tie amount of alcohol exceeds 8 per cent or 10 per cent, un- less the other ponditions are favorable, the yeast is quickly arrested in its growth, In a somewhat analogous way heat may be said to be a product of the life processes of yeast, and similarly too large quantities of heat will have an h_dmous»effect on 1ts development. Some idea of the amount of heat generated 1n fermentation may be ob- tained from the results of recent experi- ments in France. By these it is shown t 1000 gallons of must at 25 per cent r, in fermenting to dryness, produce 160,000 calorics; that 15 to say, enough Leat to raise the temperature of 2500 gal- lons of water from 64 degrees Fahrenheit t0 96 degrees Fahrenheit. The most favor- able temperature for the growth of yeast (Californian wine yeast), lies near 75 or 80 degrees I if the amount of al- cohol is kept low the yeast will resist a much higher temperature. And, which is of great practical interest 10 us, if the tem- perature is kept at the most favoratle point, the yeast resist higher degrees of alcohol, and instead of stopping its de- velopment at 8 or 10 per cent it will con- tinue fermenting till it has produced 15 per cent or more. To keep the temperature of red wines during fermentation below 80 degrees in es is impractical at present, but to to rise to 95, 100 and 105 degrees, | as is commonly the case, is by no means inevitable, and a wine which "has risen to this temperature during fermentation can never be of the highest quality. The harm done by these elevated temperatures is: 1. The yeast is injured and in its unhealthy to eliminate the sugur, 2. The yeast off, asa result of its dise eased condition, abnormal produets, which “OH, BUT THE WINDS ARE KEEN!” [Reproduetion for | by Keith,"The Call of one of his illwsirations in Ina Coolbrith’s *‘ Songs from the Golden Gate.”] at has come from the of Boston is 1000 copies. ents made by Miss Cool- ithors’ Guild, which 500 copies were sent ution through the house ot & Welch, and 500 T the Eastern market. ) copies sent here two weeks ago | le d e reserved for the hands of the Nearly all have been of $1 50. ) copies will bring in not far from to pay the cost of publication. 2 isa e something for her work, s of Miss Coolbrith say. 1e money measare of the have been taken, the 1 received with strong praise tion by those whose od will are valued, and s been showered with con- from many and has received e and felicitation from the timate frie 3 t Miss Coolbr] ends who have assi re be glad?

That will afford another chapter to the story of Miss Coolbrith’s terary success. he book and its success here are inter- esting, too, because it is the first effort of b the Authors’ Guild, and because there is | parently beginning the dawn of a new for California publications. The pos- sibilities for California writers here and sewhere is a much-discussed subject, but e launching of the Authors' Guild, with the purpose of helping home authors to the success they may merit, and th_e new arture of Mr. Doxey’s in also taking up ie publication of California literary pro- ductions, give room and license for further discussion and expectation, The *“Authors’ Guild,” more correctly styled the “California Guild of Letters,” was organized last spring, largely tbro_l!zh the instrumentality of Al Gerberding. Fourteen well-known people, including William Greer Harrison (president), S8arah D. Hamlin, Joseph Le Conte, A, Gerberd- ing, Irving M. Scott and others, compose the association, and there is an associate membership, the conditions of which are eimply the agreement to purchase annu- ally, at the price of $1 50, one copy of such works as may be published under the aus- pices of the ;;uild.

This prettily bound arrival, so fittingly named “‘Songs From the Golden Gate,” has | another feature worthy of the prominent notice being given it. Its poetry is not all in Miss Coolbrith’s verses. William Keith’s iltustrations, four of which enrich the book, share in giving the pleasure the volume bestows and creating what pride Keith is a poet, too, and for twenty years or so ke and Ina Coolbrith have been close | and sympathizing friends, who have stud- ied nature’s moods and lessons alike. They have been similarly Tremulous, impressional ; Alive to gentle influence of landscape and of sky, And each has been trying to exvress, bya different method, what has come from the forests, the mountains, the green or tawny hills, the freshness and bloom of glens and meadows and pure waters, clouds and skies. What else there is in *‘the prim- rose by the river’s brim’’ cannot be told in descriptive prose. Miss Coolbrith has suceessfully struggled to reveal in smooth numbers what the storm, the blossoming, the gentle day, have meant, and Keith, not careful in a matter of fact way of each line and tone and pose of nature’s forms, has tried to express with his brush, in his impressionist style, the moral and spirituai ceived—the poetry of nature. Tiae merits of Keith’s works and the rank to which he is entitled as an artist may here be left to those who dispute about them. It is enough in referring to his latest work as an illustrator to note the spirit and method with which he has worked in parapbras- ing, as it were, a poet’s songs. Keith’s spirit and method, more than his great technical skill, have made it fit- ting that he shouid illustrate these poems that give us nature’s moods and messages. Keith’s aim is ever to express the feeling with which he views nature, and in his paintings he directs his skill to revealing how sturdy are the oaks, how innocence is given to quiet valleys in the sunshine of spring, how majestic are the redwoods, how exquisite are the forest color tones that may entrance if one can know that they are before his eyes, and how loving, threatening, dreamy, mysterious, sublime, evanescent or eternal nature variously seems. The artist reliessmuch on color in this effort to express poetic feeling. “Keith’s colors are not nature,” say some, and “That is very true,” replies Keith. To a certain degree he is bold to make free with nature’s color tones, though to a de- gree not easily perceptible. He does it, as he does with form outline, as a means of expressing feeling. In the illustrations, which he has joined to the poems of his friend, the aid of color is denied him, but the pictures are Keith's still. They may be judged by the accom- panying reproduction of one made for THE Cary by himself. It was a dull and stormy day afield, which inspired Miss Coolbrith’s “My ‘Cloth of Gold,’” and Keith’s con- ception of such a day—keen of winter wind, dark of sky, ruthless of the green, and jailer of the spirit—is given in bis biack addition to the literature of California. The second edition will contain two addi- tional illustrations. The other day Miss Coolbrith handed t | her artist friend and co-worker a copy of her new book, on the fly leaf of which was written the following lines: TO WILLIAM XEITH. Upon the heights beyond my reach You drink from Art’s immortal spring, And vision dreams denied my speech, And paint the songs I may rot sing. INA COOLERITH. Oakland, November 2, 1885. ‘This appearance of a volume of poems illustrated by Keith is a reminder that he illustrated one of the first publications of verse in book form on this coast, that of the first poems published by Charles War- ren Stoddard. The volume was brought out by Bosaui back in the sixties and is now a rare book, even among antiquarians and relic hunters. J. 0. Dexxy. CAUSE OF STUCK WINES The Harm That Is Done by % Keeping Them at High Temperature. Precaution Which Must Be Taken to Ensure Cooling and Prompt Fermentation. In view of the prevalence of stuck wines in Celifornia this vintage a few words as to causes, effects and remedies may not be out of place. culiar to California, but trouble the wine- makers of all Stuck wines are. not pe- | vine-growing countries | | | | | { where the autumn temperature is at all | elevated. The immediate cause is in all cases the same, viz.: the unhealthy state ana aboormal development of the yeast. | This unhealthiness may be caused by the improper composition of the must. 1fthe must contains too much sugar or too little acid the yeast is arrested in its develop- ment, and the wine ‘‘sticks”—that is, ceases to ferment normally before all the sugar is decomposed into alcohol and car- bonic acid, These facts are very generally known and the remedies oi dilution and the proper blending of varieties very gen- erally practiced where possible. Some of the ltalian grapes which the experimental stations of the agricultyral department of the TUniversity of California have been testing for several years are in- valuable for this purpose. They possess the inestimable quality of developing a sufficient degree of acidity even in those localities where the greatest difiiculty is experienced in making dry wines from any other grapes on account of their deficiency in this important respect. Cor- rect composition of the must is, however, by no means a guaranty against ‘“'stuck wines.” In fact, the extreme favorable- ness of the must to the development of the yeast is often a cause of sticking, for yeast in growing and producing alcohol gives out a large amount of heat, and if the fermentation is vigorous heat enough may be developed to kill or paralyze the cells. Moreover, the yeasts, like the bac- teria, are arrested in their growth and ultimately killed by the products of their | | | ough impart bad odors and flavors to the wine, 8 The veast finally dies, leaving tho field to the many injurious organisms vs present. These organisms develop and live upon the food materials uncon- sumed by the yeast, and complete the work of ‘destruction.” They destroy the alcohol, tartar and coloring matter of the wine, leaving in exchenge acetic, lacticand s and various ethers of inde- odors. This is of course an exiremecase. There are many stuck wines that after a tedious lingering fermentation finally become dry and show the effect of icking only by 2 dullness of color and sof taste which, while not render- s them unsalable, puts them out of the of “clean tasting wines.” Another evil of hot fermentations is the loss of alcohol by evaporation. This has been shown in Algeria to amount in some cases to 2 per cent. Now as to the methods of avoiding stuck wines and of obtaining that cleanness of taste which is due to a prompt and thor- fermentation. The treatment of musts of defective chemical composition is bevond the scope of this artiele, I will confine myself to those musts which have a correct amount of sugar, acid, ete. The principal points to be kept in’ view are: That the grapes shall commence to ferment immediately on being crushed; that the maximum temperature shall not exceed 90 egrees Fahrenheit, or, better still, 85 de- s Fahrenheit, and, finally, that the wine shall not remain in contact with the pomace longer than is necessary for the extraction of the proper amount of tannin and color. A prompt beginning of fer- nentation is assured by the addition of active veast (preferably pure yeast) during or immediately after crushing. The prob- lem of maintaining a low_temperature is more complex, and must be met with a variety of expedients. In the first place the grapes should always be crushed while cool. his can be accomplished by leaving the boxes of grapes, picked during the heat of the day, scattered along the avenue of the vineyard «ll night, and as soon as: pos- sibie in the cool of the morning stacking them up and hauling them to the ceilar. It is inadvisable to maintain the tempera- ture of the fermenting cellar too low, on account of the danger of checking the after-fermentation of the heavier wines. A certain amount of cooling is possible by the use of shallow vats and frequent stir- ring. These precautions, together with the usual ‘manipulation of the skillful cellarman, will in cool weather generally suffice to avoid trouble. But in hot weather something n:ore is needed. The use of some cooling machine is the oniy resource yet tried or suggested that seems 10 hold out any hope of suceess. Some of the brewers’ methods of cooling have been tried, but unsuccessfully, on account of the heavy cap of pomace in a tank of red wine, During the last three years yarious machines (refrigerators) bave been in- vented and tested in Algeria, and the success of some o? them is most en- couraging. Already the use of yeasts and cooling devices bids fair to render unnecessary the immense “filtreries’ which have been so much used - in Algeria for the elimination of unsound erms. One of the first of these cooling evices was the ‘‘cuve toutee,” a metallic fermenting vat covered with cloth, which was kept constantly wet on the outside. In this vat the wine could be kept 5 or 6 degrees lower than in the ordinary wooden tanks, but as it necessitated replacing ail the vats in use, it was too expensive for practical purposes. The later refrigerators are of various characters, but the best all agree in being machines £o constructed that warm wine is pumped through small wabes in one direction and water outside the tubes in the other. In one a large zig- zag tube through which the water runs con- tains seyeral smaller tubes for the wine. In others the water trickles over a series of small tubes through which the wine is pumped. In tne most approved machines the tubes are flattened and of nirrow elliptical cross-section, allowing the maxi- mum _surface of contact. The successful machines in Algeria bave the following common characteristics: 1. The metal of the tubes is a good heat conductor. 2. The wine and the water run rapidly in op- posite dircctions and in thin layers. 3. It 1s possible and easy to clean 2ll parts of the machine, including the tubes where the wine tartar is deposited. The tubes must be kept clean in order to have yer- fect contact with the water and wine. The amount of water used 1s on the average about equal to the amount of wine cooled. In Algeria where water is scarce the same water is used repeatedly by having a series of (generally four) shallow cement cooling TeServoirs. At an official competitive trial of refrige- rators this year in Algeria one of tne machines cooled wine at the rate of 1000 gallons per hour from 100 degrees F. to 79 degrees F., using water at 65 degrees F., at the rate of 500 gallons per hour. This may be considersd as a practical result, for at this rate a man could cool 10,000 gallons of wine a day with the use of only 5000 gallons of water. These facts are worthy of consideration, for it 1s acknowledged by all the more careful winemakers that the problem of producing without fail a clean-tasting, sound wine that will keep can only be solved by some device for avoiding over- heating in the fermenting vats.

Captain Robert Kane Fletcher of the United States army, authorof “The Johne- town Btage;,” ‘“Margery and Her Papa,” and other stories, talked 1n a very enter- taining way last night at the Unitarian Church about the art of story-making. He desired his hearers to understand that it was not his intention to deliver a formal lecture at all. His remarks would be more suggestive than deeply studied. *‘The primary motive of the true story 1s not to instruct but to amuse. The short story isnot an outgrowth of this century; it was known during the Italian Renais- sance period. It is now recognized ag be- ing as distinet in fiction. There are, there- fore, three fields—romance, novels and short stories. ‘““The art of story-telling is as old as the art of speech. I fancy that story-telling must have originated among the tribes of men shortly after fire was discovered, for around the fires are the best stories told. Idraw the conclusion that there is no more divinity in story-making than about any other vocation where a broad sympa- thetic knowledge of nature is requisite. The process of making stories is a secret one. The author’s instruments are pen, ink and paper. Story-making is an art: it {s sister to the art of painting, and fre- quently the two go hand and hand. “The author’'s canvas is his paper, his brush is his pen, his colors words, and his language his color-hox. He frequently finds that sometimes he must have a cer- tain word, and only one word will suit the particular place. arule words are but frogs, which puff themselves out and fit the ox-hide of an author’s imagination. “This taste for the right word may be acquired after long periods of iabor, al- though it is pnrtlff instinctive. If thetrue word-artistjhas his keen sense and delights in the true fituess of words he has also a commensurate sense of discord. **The matter of style is an author's ersonality—his way of describing tnings. &'hen an author acquires the technique of his art the first question is, “Have vou something to write?” If so, write it simply and send it to the publisher number one, and inclose stamps for its return, It will be treated according to its meri “There are people who deal in ideas and plots, and they are sold and bought; they are merchantable property. “A great many authors have a habit of making notes of the incidents that occur to them during the day. These 1 believe have httle positive worth. Their value lies in their being students of life. “As for newspaper scraps there is no end of them, and they deal with every phase of life, but are of little value. “Different authors have different meth- ods of writing. Those who have success are those who make a business of it. Let him cudgel his mind at a stated time each day and in time it will become accus- tomed to going that way. “I would say to the young author, Do not be led off into foul marshes. Go out into nature in search of holy truth and when you find it tell it to us in as simple a way as you can, and if it is beautiful you may be sure we will listen to it with pleasure.” g Three Kinds of Months.

TALES OF DISASTER AT SEA Three Ships That Had a Hard Time Getting to San Francisco. ONE OF THEM WAS ON FIRE, An Apprentice Boy Was Washed Off the Lauriston, and Drowned. ‘Three vessels arrived from three differ- ent ports yesterday and all had tales of disaster to report. One nearly went down with all hands, the second was on fire for two days, and the third lost an apprentice during a gale and another of the crew died of dropsy. The first to report was Captain Lewis of the British ship Senator. “We left Hull with a fair wind,” said he, ‘‘and all went well until August 26. Then itcame on to blow and soon the waves were running mountains high. Our decks ‘were constantly full of water and the cross- seas swept us fore and aft. Our main rig- ginzon both sides was carried away and other damage was done. ‘‘For a fortnight after that we had mod- erate weather, but on September 12 it came on to blow again and this time it was a scorcher. The foretopgallant magt was carried away in a gale which drove snow in blinding drifts all over the ship. For four days the ship iabored on and on the 16th, when she was rolling heavily in the cross-seas, the wind died away to a calm for about twenty minutes. Then it came again with hurricane force and threw the Senator on her beam ends. The main rafl and deck to the main hatch were under water. The harness-casks (casks clamped to the deck, in which the salt meat for everyday use is kept) were washed overboard ; doors were stove, the cabin was flooded, the men’s things were washed out of tbe fore- castle, and everything moveable went overboard. The mainstay snapped, and for 2 time pandemonium reigned. Luckily the cargo did not shift, and after we cut away some of the sails the ship righted, and T put her before the gale until some of the damage was fixed up. After that we had a succession of light gales, but nothing to speak of. The Senator shows very few traces of the terrible battles she had with the elements. She is spick and span. The Hawasiian ship John Ena is the sec- ond vessel. From October 25 to 31 her cargo ofcoal was on fire, and Captain Schnauer says that had it not been for the powerful steam pumps aboard both vessel and crew would have peen lost. “There was no sign of danger from the time we left Newcastle, N. 8. W., until October 25, said Captain Schnauer. “Then we discovered that smoke was coming through the trunk hatches. I ordered an examination, and found that the seat of thetrouble was in hatch 2. The smcke and fumes were overpowering, and the men could not remain in the be- tween decks. Then we opened all the hatches, and I got the force-pumps to work. It was nip and tuck with us, and for six days we Iouglht the flames. Some- times the decks would getso hot that we could hardly stand it, but the men worked splendidly. We jettisoned sixty tons of coal and got to the heart of the fire, Then the force-pumps did the rest.” The John Ena made the run from New- castle, N. 8, W,, in fifty days, which was the best on record for this season until the Christine got in from the same port last night in forty-eight days. The third unfortunate was the British ship Lauriston, 147 days from Antwerp. Like all the other skippers who rounded Cape Horn, Captain Latta encountered ice nnsicebergs and had a generally hard time. On August 25 R. H. Warden, 2 native of Helifax, N, 8,, died from natural cauges. He had been sick from almost the first week after leaving Antwerp and nothing in the medicine chest did him any good. The captain thinks he died from dropsy. On September 16 an accident happened that threw a gloom over the entire ship’s crew. It was in latitude 56 30 south, longi- tude 63 west, and a very heavy westerly gale was blowing. Cross-seas swept the ship from stem to stern and everything movable was washed overboard. ri\'aher Heath, an apprentice, was caught by one of the waves and before a hand could be stretched out to save him he was washed overboard also and drowned. He was the son of an English clergyman and only 16 years old. He was determined to be a sailor, and much against his will he was given permission to go as an apprentice, “We did not encounter any more than the usua! amount of dirty weather,” said the captain. ‘It was very cold rounding the Horn, however, and the crew suffered. It was blowing a gale when young Heath went oyerboard and we could not do a thing toward saving him. Latterly we had fair, ordinary weather.” MORGUE EXPENDITURES. Coroner Hawkins Says They Are Less Than Under Other Adminis- trations. The statement that the expenditures of the Morgue are being investigated by the Grand Jury is discrdited by Coroner Hawkins, and any insinuation that the expenses of the institution are anything but what they should be is absolutely denied. 3 Coroner Hawkins admits that the bills coming directly from the Morgue may be Then we caught it. .| grenter in the aggregate than they were efore his administration’ began, but he says that the actual expenses are smaller.

As a matter of fact the Morgue is in betier condition than it has been for years, and much of the money for repairs came out of Coroner Hawkins’ own pocket. “Instead of the Grand Jury’s censuring me,"” said the Coroner yesterday, ‘“some of its members who went through my office two weeks ago said they would censure the city for having such a Morgue. All the money mentioned in the expense accounts has been expended in equipping the office 1f there has been any overcharge the Su- pervisors may fix that with those who fur- nished the goods.
