A DROP MAKES GLASS OF BEER
Discovery of a Wisconsin Man Liable
to Effect Breweries.
The discovery, or rather the re

cnemist will doubtless have far reach
ing effect on the great brewing indus
tries of the country. This hop dream

superior to the best brand produced by
the breweries.
The extract contains an alkaloid
from hops just 1)500 times stronger than
crude hops, and the active principle of
malt, 12,700 times the strength of
common malt made from the best bar-
ley.
With the above is combined an ar

tion was completely overwhelmed.

Ing in reach Vladivostok were at the
same time looking for a fight with the
Japanese and when they encountered
their opponents they fought gallantly.
The Russian ships steamed into Man
ila at a speed, of 15 knots. The Rus
sians are now taking on food supplies.
Rear Admiral Enquist, accompanied
by Rear Admiral Train and the French
consul, formally called on Governor
General Wright. After the usual greet
ings had been exchanged, Governor
Wright asked, "Admiral Enquist, do
you wish to stay at Manila permanent
ly?"
Hear Admiral Enquist replied: "My
ships are unseaworthy. I have not
heard from my government and I re
quest time to make repairs."
Governor Wright then said that ac
cording to his construction of the neu
trality laws, the Russian vessels- could
remain long enough to make necessary
repairs and after these were finished
they must leave within 24 hours or dis
mantle and intern. Rear Admiral En
quist requested permission to bring his
ships behind the brakewater for re
