The blacEness OF London fogs is
due in a large degree to the quantity
OF soft coal smoke which they contain.
and therefore abatement of the Lon
don fog goes hand In hand with the
reduction of the smoke nuisance in
the British metropolis. The Interna-
siOnal Smoke Abatement exhibition in
London next month will lay stress on
the advantages OF the freless cooker.
A London authority declares that
since the present anti-smoke nuisance
movement in London began. the aver
age number OF dense fogs there has
decreased by over 60 per cent. while
the average amount Of winter sun.
shine in the metropolis has increased
by fifty per cent He believes that If
the general public can be induced to
take the matter seriously. the Lon.
don peasoup fog will be abolished

The statement OF Health Commits
siouer Lederle of New York that dill
gent investigation for many years has
failed to trace a single case of typhoid
fever IN that city to the eating OF
oysters will be hailed with delight by
lovers Of the king of bivalves in the
condition in which he comes from the
briny deep The oyster is good fried,
and excellent in a stew when not
cooked--as he often Is. however-so
long as to make him leathery But
there are many who maintain that 1t
IS a pity to cook oysters, because
they are so palatable in the raw state.
and so easily dlgesdble Yet In many
instances these epicures have feared
to eat oysters raw because of the
widespread depreciation of the oyster
as a cause Of typhoid fever They will
rejoice al Doctor Lederle's report.

There Is no need OF clocks on the
Aegean sea any day when the sun is
shining There nature has arranged
her timepiece. one that does not vary
though the centuries pass. This nat
ural time marker is the largest sun
dial in the world. Projecting into the
blue water of the sea is a large pro-
montory which lifts its head 1000 feet
above the waves. AS the sun swings
round, the pointed shadow of the noun
tain just touches one after the other a
number of small islands, which are at
exact distances apart and act as hour
marks on the great dial.

'In 1910 our figures show" he said,
that the average daily attendance in
the public schools was 10.632,772.

rollment; in 1909 the average daily at
tendance reached 12,6S4,S37, being
72.5 per cent. Of the number enrolled.

MYSTERIOUS BLAZE
 AT C. 0. D. MARKET
OFFICERS EXTINGUISH FIRE THOUGHT TO HAVE OF IN-
 CENDIARY ORIGIN,
Two Safes Were Found Unlocked and Front Door of Store
 Was Open,

What is considered a bold at:emp pi at incendiarism and probably rob Eery, of the c. 0. p. Meat Market, No BIS Main street, was frustrated by Patrolman Phillips this morning about 1:39 o'clock when he discovered a lot of waste paper, wood and trash ablaze under big pot in the rear of the meat market.
 The patrolman was making his res ular rounds, which includes the alley running north and south between Main and inc street at the rear Of the meat market. He noticed the glare rom tIe rear window and upon investigation saw that mass of rub Dish was in flames. His whistle sum- moned other policemen to the scene and at the same time he ran to the the ircnt door had been forced open the iron tdoor had been forced open. flames Were eXtinguished with little damage.
 Two safes in the building were found unlocked with the exception of the small drawer used as cash de- pository. None of the papers seemed to have been disturbed s,.1u some sil- yer was in the cash register.
 Thinking perhaps the fire had been arranged as blind while crooks took advantage of the assembling of the officers at that point to make a haul at some other store in the business d strict, Night Oh eff Fiveash immed- lately dispatched his men to their regular beats, and made an effort to get iu.o communication with S. P. Collins, the proprietor of the meat market.
 Collins was finally locate and went to the market immed ately. After a. nasty examination he sa I'd, that no valuables were missing but was unable to account for the fire as the attaches of the place had had no occasion to 1-se nc pot for several days.
