BY custom and unwritten law, the

No Change In Sugar.
WASHINGTON. April 11.-Presi-
dent Wilson refused today to consid-
err modification Of the sugar schedule
of the Wilson Underwood tariff bill.
Colonel Robert M. Ewing, of New Or
leans, democratic national committee
ran, made fina! appeal on behalf
o. southern cane growers to have the
three years provision, which provides
that after that time sugar shall go on
the free list, eliminated.
Colonel Ewing told the president
that he believed sugar producers OF
the United States would withdraw all
opposition to reduce the rates in the
pending bill II the president would
eliminate the three years clause.
The president listened attentively
to the argument but declined to re.
cede from his position that the party
is pledged to give the people free
sugar
After Colonel Ewing left. former
Governor Alva Adams of Colorado
made similar plea on behalf of the
beef sugar growers OF his state. He
told the president that the industry
in his state meant about s14,000,ooo
annually to the Colorado farmers and
that with sugar on the free list, beet
sugar factories would have to close
their doors. The president suggested
TO his visitor that during the three
Years period he was satisfied manu-
lecturers could adjust their business
SO that they could compete with the
foreign sugar when it came into ac.
tive competition with the native
article.

DOG STEALING

One of the chief features of the
English dog-stealing traffic is that it
is by no means confined to the limits
of the towns where the dogs are
stolen. There is a regular exchange
of stolen dogs, a detective declared

larger cities of the country.
The exchange is not carried on by

nize the straight-legged, bright-ey
fox terrier or the heavy wrinkled
pug the long sought prize-winner of
the other side Of the country.

Electric Toys
Educators and
Joy to Riddles
Miniature Railroads and Nov
ing Picture Machines instruct
Youngsters Beyond Dreams
of Our Ancestors.

Electricity has contributed many
wonderful things to toyland. Hap
PLY these electric toys not only
serve to amuse the youngsters, but
teach them much about the funda-
mental principles of electricity which
will be of great value in their lat
Ter lives, says Electric News.
Best known OF all the electrical
toys are the tiny trolley cars pro-
vided with sectional track. The
track can be laid in any desired
direction, with curves and crossings,
and the cars will run back and forth
under their own power. These toy
cars are made exactly like their
rivals on the city streets and are
driven by small electric motors con-
cealed in the car bodies. Other types
provide an electric engine, duplI-
cation of the most powerful loco
motives Of their type now hauling
trains on the New York Central al
the New York terminal, which take
power from a third rail. These cleo
trio locomotives haul whole trains
of toy cars consisting of baggage
cars, diners, Pullmans and day
coaches. Even the old steam loco
motives have been duplicated in
toyland and made to haul their
trains by electricity. In the boiler
of the locomotive is located a small
electric motor which propels the en-
CINE.
These toy trains are perfect models.
Many of them are even equipped
with miniature electric lights, head
lights, etc They will take current
direct from the ordinary lighting cir
cult, or they can be operated by bat
teries where lighting current is not
available.
Another modern toy is the small
moving picture machine, suitable for
children. This toy combines a magic
lantern and moving picture ma
chine. The pictures are projected by
electric light secured from the ordi-
nary lamp socket or from a small
dynamo which produces its own
lighting current.
All types of steam engines have
been duplicated which operate with
out the nuisance and consequent
danger of alcohol lamps and hot
steam. These engines are driven by
electric power. Motors are made in
all sizes suitable for the operation
of mechanical toys, such as circular
saws, tiny lathes, etc.
Any number of midget electric
lights are made, from small flash
light suitable for the pocket to a
festoon of miniature electric lights
of various colors and designs, suit
able for decorating Christmas trees.
One of the novelties imported from
Germany is toy electric kitchen.
There is an electric grid, which gets
quite hot when the current Is turned
on, and such electric heating devices
as baby electric tiatiron, coffee
percolator, hot water heater, etc.

GAS FROM LOW GRADE COAL

1t may be of interest to American
firms making use of producer gas for
different purposes to know that
within the last two years several
French inventors have taken out
patents for, and are now putting into
actual operation system of forced
draft furnaces, burning even the
poorest grades of coal and coke.
These furnaces are employed in the
production by method, also
patented, of producer gas from low
quality coal containing UP to So per
cent. of cinders.
With one exception, however, all OF
these inventors have confined their
experiments and operations to small
'gazogenes," as these furnaces are
called, producing sufficient gas to
drive only low power engines, etc.
The one exception to this is COM
pany, capitalized at $240,000, which
manufactures apparatus sufficiently
,arge and powerful to produce gas
for machinery of nearly 1000 horse
power per gazogene." AS a matter
of fact, the inventor informs the con-
sulate that there is no limit to the
power of the machine, 1t being mere-
ly q matter of construction.
