Europe Loses Sweet Tooth.

the British Tommy, his French col
league and his German enemy went
off to the war, suffered a good deal
more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove 1t. Europe curtailed the
bean supply of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. Now
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity of candy sent to the old
world.
The first five months of the war
caused decrease of s153,s23 In the
value of candy exports from the
United States, as compared with the
same period of the year before. The
value of the total exports of candy
for the calander year was $1,1S5,894.

USE NIAGARA FALLS
Power TO Be Utilized Without
Affecting Beauty.
Engineers Have Worked Out Scheme
Which IL Is Believed VIII Give
Results Without Necessity Of
Destroying the Falls.

Niagara falls is to be put to work
without affecting the scenic beauty
of one of the worlds wonders, plan
having been worked ont to save aSd
utilize from rs to 80 per cent OF the
power now going to waste without
outraging the artistic sensiblities of
nature lovers. Two of the most inn
portant features of the fall. in a scenic
way, are the DETECTION of light
through the water as 1t curves over
the crest, and the rising spray from
the impact of the water at the base
of the cliff, and both of these features
are to be preserved. This is to be ac-
complished by an ingenious arrange
ment of penstocks by which a por-
ton of the water is caught as IL falls
from the crest, is led through the
turbines. and is then discharged into
the falling sheet OF water at the foot
OF the cliff. care being taken not to di.
vert enough of the water through the
penstocks to impair the beauty OF the
falling sheet.
The plan involves the building Of q
permanent concrete crest for the falls.
