SUGAR FAMINE BEING FELT IN
PARIS.

Paris housekeepers and those who
use a great deal of sugar are be.
ginning to realize the extent of the
sugar shortage in the United States.
Ii is not possible to obtain over
twenty-five cents worth of the
sweet stuff from the retailers, and
the wholesale houses report the sit
uation will be very acute for some
time yet.
Mr.. Henry Power, of the Power
Grocery Co., stated yesterday that
the shortage is apt to continue for
some time yet, or until the Govern
ment gets the wheels to working so
as to get the new crop out. The
Government, he states, had declared
that Central Kentucky was out of
the beet sugar territory, and it was
hardly possible to get much relief
from that source. He said that the
shortage would be relieved not ear
lier than December, when the
Cuban and Louisiana sugar crops
would come on the market.
There is very little granulated
sugar on the Paris market and gro
GERS and wholesalers do not know
when there will be any to supply
the market. Yesterday a number of
housekeeper canvassed both sides of
Main street to see what the real
situation was, and they found to
their dismay that it had not been
misrepresented. Some of them even
got number of old bachelors who
had no use for sugar to go to the
retailers and buy to the limit, which
was not over twenty-five cents
worth to any one customer. In this
way they got enough for their i'm
mediate needs.
When asked for his opinion on
the sugar situation prominent
Main street grocer said yesterday to
THE NEWS: ut is my honest
opinion that the Government is go
ing to put price of eight cents a
pound on sugar, which is two or
three cents a pound cheaper than
the present prices. For this reason
the wholesale dealers will not stock
up on the high priced sugar. Beet
sugar will be coming on the market
some time in December, and this
will furnish us with a plentiful sup
ply of the saccharine article. That's
about all I can say in regard to the
shortage. It can't last all the time,
that's a certainty. We are hoping
for the best. 1t has been in way
to hear the excuses some
have put up In an eff
fort to get more than their share OF
sugar from the grocers. The food
controls only the
wholesaler and they fix a price at
which the wholesaler must sell the
sugar, but the retailer will be con.
trolled through the wholesaler. as
the food administrator will require
the wholesaler to sell no sugar to
any retailer who sells the sugar
above the reasonable retail price to
be fixed by the Government OIL

The Lion Of Sc. Mark.

The symbol Of the Venetian republic,
the famous lion Of St. Mark, is made
of bronze. There is a tradition among
the Venetian people that its eyes are
diamonds. They are really white ag-
ates, faceted. Its name is most elab-
orately wrought, and its retracted,
gaping mouth and its fierce mustaches
give it an oriental aspect The crea'
ture as it now stands belongs to many
different epochs, varying from some
date previous to our era down to this
century, It is conjectured that it may
have originally formed a part OF the
decoration of some Assyrian palace.
St. Marks lion it certainly was not
originally, for it was made to stand
level upon the ground and had to be
raised in front to allow the evangel to
be slipped under its fore paws.

Still, as q set of against many fail

John Adams unearthed treasure to the
value of between 100000 and f200, 900

Have you ever noticed two tiny holes
at the nose end of each eye? Prob
ably not, for they are very tiny, like
pinholes. But If you look at your eye
carefully in a mirror you will find
them. They are tear ducts or tubes.
Your tears start behind your eyebrows,
at the narrow end of the eye. They
pass out below the eyelids. and the
blinking of the eyelids carries them to-
ward the other end Of the eye, where
the ducts or overflow pipes collect and
carry them down into your nose. That
is why you are apt to blow your nose
when you cry.
A flow Of tears is going on all the
time to Intricate the eyeball. It IL
only when you are under powerful
emotion that they overflow.

Fiahtina Wind and wavA

Fighting Wind and Wa~>
In q storm at sea, with gale blew
ing in one direction and the sea run
ming in the opposite direction, 1t takes
q stanch ship to stand the water pres
sure on one side and the contrary wind
pressure on the other.
Stability is one Of the greatest prob
lens to the constructor of a steamship.
Naturally the center Of gravity should
bo low. The hull must be Of such a
form that when the vessel rolls to one
sido the center Of buoyancy shall move
sufficiently far to that same side for
the forces Of buoyance acting upward
to right the vessel.
A badly designed ship Is liable to
many dangers. If light in the stern the
screw may come out Of the water, race
and be snapped of. If too low In the
stern when running before a storm
breaking waves may fall on board and

may be top heavy. There comes 4 mo-

Old Lord Mayors 8anquets.

There used to be a good deal Of saw
agery about London's lord mayors
banQuets, even In times comparatively
recent. The humber guests at least

had to bring their own table cutlery II
they wished to eat decently and In
comfort. For instance, Samuel Pepys
tells us how, at the banquet served up
two years after the restoration, there
were many tables, but none In the
hall but the mayors and the lords Of

knives, which was very strange"
Still more strange to such 4 lover OF
female beauty as Pepys was the plain
ness Of feature of the city danes.
