The lrl r. Hicks 1901 Almanac.

Whatever may be said of the scien-
tific causes upon which the Rev. Irl
X. Hicks bases his yearly forecasts of
storm and weather, it is remarkable
fact that specific warnings of every
great storm, flood, cold wave and
drouth, have been plainly printed in
hi now famous almanac for mary
years. The latest startling proof of
this fact was the destruction of Gal
weston, Texas, on the very day named
by Prof. Hicks in his 1900 Almanac,
as one of disaster by storm along the
gulf coasts. The 1901 Almanac, by far
the finest, most complete and beauti-
full yet published, is now ready. This
remarkable book of near two hundred
pages, splendidly illustrated with
charts and half-tone engravipgs, goes
as a premium 10 every subscriber who
pays one dollar year for Prof Hicks

manac alone is sent prepaid for only

An Abundance of Sugar.

The Sugar Trade Journal of Boston
gives a preliminary estimate of the
sugar crop Of the world for the current
crop year, 1901, which indicates that
the human race is in no danger of hav-
ing its sweet tooth i'll supplied for
some time to come. In the past crop
year 1901 1900, the production of cane
sugar ran in comparatively low figures,
having dropped to 2.680,S3S tons
against 2,9I7,490 tons in 1889, a de-
crease of 296,652 tons. But now the
crop pendulum has swung the other
way, with a movement more than
twice as strong. The production of
cane sugar is reckoned at 3,235,00
tons, a gain of no less than 554, 162 tons
upon last years bad returns and an i'm
provement of 257,510 tons upon the sat
isfactory exhibit made two years ago.
Nor is it in regard to cane sugar
alone that The Journals estimate runs
on very gratifying lines. The worlds
production of beet sugar is also set at
a much higher level than it reached Ell
Their last year or the year before. 1t
may be remembered that last year the
short crop of cane sugar was more
than compensated for by a very large
crop Of beet sugar, the decrease of
296,G52 tons in the former being far
overbalanced by an increase of 59S,372
tons in the latter. This year the out
look is still better. 1t is thought that
the production of beet sugar will
amount to 5,SS6,000 tons, a gain of
273,056 tons since last year and of
81, 42S tons in two years. Taking cane
and beet sugar together, the sugar
crops of the world are estimated at a
grand total of 9,121, 900 tons for the
current crop year in comparison with
1923, 7S2 tons twelvemonth back and
7,992,092 tons two years ago. This is a
gain of S27,21S tons since last year and
of LESBOS tons in two years.
These figures are especially crafty
ing in that they indicate lower prices
for sugar during the coming twelve
month, which is emphatically good
news for People in moderate circum-
stances. Sugar is prime necessity of
life and an article where the consump-
tion is per capita one. Many poor
men with large families consume more
sugar than do rich men with small
families. Thus The Sugar Trade Jour
NAILS carefully prepared estimate opens
an encouraging prospect for the mass
es, where the number of mouths to
feed is very often sadly out of proper
tion to the length of the purse.

One of the curious though perhaps
census is that the center of population
has moved but slightly during the last
decade. For long period it had been
steadily moving westward. and by the
census Of 1890 1t was found to be lit
tie west of south of Greensburg, Ind.
BY this census it appears that the
states wholly west of the longitude of
that point have increased almost pre-
cisely the same as the states lying
wholly east of it, about 100000 each,
and about an even proportion is main
tanned north and south of the same

the lucky ticket which on Dec. "a drew

Bills bought twenty-five tickets of a
Sioux City firm and they registered
the lucky number as going to him.
By some mistake, however, Bills did
not get this particular ticket, and it
was returned to John Peirce among
others as unsold. Peirce then sold it
with many others to w. L. Barber

A Nelson Relic.

An interesting piece of history hangs around the section of the forc- mast of Nelson's flagship, the Victory, which King Edward has just presented, together with other relics, to the Inu- scum of the Royal United Service insti- tuition in Whitehall. The mast in question, the one against which tha great admiral was leaning when he received his fatal wound at Trafalgar, was originally erected. in small tenn pie in the grounds of Bushey lodge, then occupied by William w, to whom it was presented. While there pair of more than ordinarily aggressive robins built their nest in the shot- hole which went completely through the mast, and reared brood of young ones, to which his majesty and Queen Adelaide were greatly attached. Sub- sequently the relic was removed to ths dining-room, where it supported the famous bust by Chantrey; and upon the death of George w. it was placed in the guard chamber at Windsor castle, with the inscription: "Auspica Gulielmo IV."-London News.

Did China Have a Noahs

4 London paper has discovered Chinese picture that represents-or is supposed to represent--Noah's ark resting on the top of Mount Ararat. The picture is of great antiquity. As is well known, the religious literature of almost every nation and race com tains an account of a deluge, but a Chinese manuscript recently un- earthed follows very closely the story as recorded in the Bible. It is pare ticularly interesting in that the roof of the Chinese ark is of the gable variety associated with the Noah's arks which prove such entertaining toys for our youngsters. The Chinese picture, however, shows Q double- storied vessel, and, so far from there being only one window in the roof there are windows in every possible space. Chicago Record.HeralA 1
