“Why. In 18%. there mere a great many

to believe that all we needed was a Re
publican admlnls'ratlon. and they went

ventor of the meth*l Dr Drlnkwater has
tnvcMigarrd and examined
The chief Impurity In all whiskies Is
what people term “fusel oil." This 1* not
a simple substance, but a complex mix
ture of what are termed "higher alcohols **

investigator*. notaMy Dr. Hell, late of
Somerset House, and Mr. A H. Allen. F
C. H . of Sheffield, have taken amvllc alco

Mr. Allen guts the miner fairly when he
says that it Is not the atnylk* alcohol It
self which injure* the whisky drinker, hut
th# chemically bad com pony which It
kee|*s
All spirits contain thli fusel 041. but
when they are "aged*’ In cash*, some Is
absorbed by the wood, and so much I* ox
idised or changed into compound* whicht
give ihe bouquet and character to whisky
A perk*! of five years may el a pee before
this process of maturing Is completed In
the case of many whiskies.
Mb R. C. fu-mt propMue to effect in a
few * hour*- four hog* what nature ac
compli*** In the whinky cask I may sav
that Dr Drlnkwater confirm* the opinion
that In four hours Mr Bcott** pro-es#
converts new whisky Into a quality equal
to that of a 2-year-old sample taken from
a cask
His process consists In pumping ftlr
through n 11l er Th*- air l* cooled by n
freealng mx* hlne. so that all Its moisture
Is deposited In ihe form of actual snow
The Spirit Is also cooled below the free*
tng point of water by the same machine
The dry. cold air and cold spirits are then
mixed in the form of a spray under a
pressure of about twenty pounds. Thl*
process goes on continuously for four
hours The air one* used and charged
with x number of the Impurities of the
Whisky Is allowed to pass away
This proce?** differs from all others of
kindred nature, first in having th* spirit
and air kept below fr**x!ng point, and n
disposing of the air, an that th* impuri
ties have no chance of again entering th#
whisky Th* cold, dry air doe* not remove
any >f the spirit. Moist air woud re
move a certain proportion or quantity of
the alcohol.
The practice ha* leen brought twforo
th* Society <*f Chemical Industry, and lws
received the approval of some of the best
analysis In the kingdom It ran bo al
tered to suit the character of eo. h kind
of spirit. It Is found that different whis
kies demand different treatment; but all
th* process** are conducted by means of
the same apparatus
Dr Drlnkwater saw fifty-nine gallons
of patent still whisky at twenty-five over
proof treated with the apparatus for four
hours His analyst* waa performed on
samples taken by him before and after
treatment by Mr Rcott's process.
Before treatment the whisky gave the
following results: Strength. 25. J over
proof: ether* In grains per proof gallon.
14*. higher alcohols ditto. MB grain*
After treatment Strength. JAM over
proof; ether. 23 grain* per proof gallon,
higher alcohol*. An At grain*
Practically, therefore, we see that In
four hours the higher alcohol* which we
noted to constitute the object lona Ide ele
ments In new whisky wsre diminished hy
twenty-eight grains per proof gallon
One highly Important point to be noted
also Is ths ether* which give the
bouquet to the whisky are not practical
ly diminished, the character of the whis
ky. a* whisky. lielng perfectly retained
The Scott pro ess could remove the whole
of these higher alcohol*, but the spirit,
tn place of being whisky, would simply
lie rectified spirit without flavor
Mr Rent I look a six-year-old whisky
and subjected li to hi* process The re
sult was that the whlskr was chemically
unchanged On a pot-still whisky Ihe ef
fect would he more mark'd than on a
patent-still whl*ky. which Dr Drlnkwa
ter saw treated because the former la far
more Impure spirit
It Is svldenl. therefore, that Mr Scott
ha* Invented a process which no# can
not hut regard a* of extreme Important'*
from the scientific nod social etandpoln'
If whisky can he so saslly robbed of ths
very Impurities which madden those who
consume It, we may reaaonahle hope that
even If the consumption nf alcohol may
not he diminished. Ihe people will be sup
plied with a safer stjmulant A* the
