Dot more than quarter of the custo-
barry crop will be harvested. The
frices of sugar and syrup were low a
eek ago, but there is now a tendency
! advance them in view of the proba-
Il lily of scarcity.
The government bounty on sugar is
cents pound on sugar which tests
yer so per cent and two cents pound
that testing over 80 per cent. a To-

ference is not sufficient to warrant
aking the 2-cent grade; that is. given
Mount, good enough to bring the II
nts bounty, is so much lessened in
eight by loss of water through evapo-
ton if brought up to the 2-cent stand

a Drug Clerks Presence of Mind Pre-
vents a Disastrous Blaze.
From the Philadelphia Press.
At l:15 o'clock yesterday morning two
young men, while passing Funk's drug
store, at Forty-frs street and Lancaster
avenue, saw thick volumes OF smoke COM
ing through the creyices of the cellar door
and the transom of the store door. They
rang the night bell Of the store and Clerks
McNair and Bender came rushing down
stairs AS they reached the store floor they
were almost choked by the smoke and fumes
OF gas that filled the room: MoNair i'm
mediAtelY began a search Of the store for
fire. while Bender rushed into the cellar.
When Bender reached the cellar be was
almost suffocated, but he bent all bis ener-
Ries to reaching the front, where the heater
is located, and succeeded In doing so. He
saw a fame curling up along the shelving Of
the gas meter which Ia located under the
front steps Of the private entrance TO the
building. Rushing 70 the front doors OF the
cellar, he thew them open and assembled to
the pavement for air.
AS soon as he had recovered, despite the
advice of the police officers who had hur-
ried to the spot, he rushed back into the
cellar and quickly disconnecting two ten
gallon fountains of soda water which stood
by the gas meter, turned their contents on
the flames, which were Immediately extin-
guished. The carbonic acid gas In the soda
water had smothered the flames more eff
fectively than patent fire extinguisher
could have done.
A well-bnown logician in speaking Of the
matter said: "For a century at least soda
water has been utilized 70 quench the burn-
ings Of fire-water in the human system, but
it has remained for Mr.. Funk's clerk to use
that ebulIient and pleasing drink to quench
the flames Of burning gas IN cellar. Some
poison is an antidote for another. Mr..
Funk's clerk must now be firm believer in
that theory, for he has successfully put it
into practice in extinRuishing the flames OF
burning water-gas by turning on fountain
of sparkling gas-water."
