Science to Abolish
Famous London Foo

According to q bulletin of the Anne
rican chamber of commerce in Lon
don, science is trying to abolish the
famous London fog. This is what the
bulletin has to say about it:
"Those who have stumbled off
pavements in fogs, bruising their
shins, or have collided with lamp
posts, or who have embarrassed them
selves by sticking Tending finger
in a horses nose, will have a venge-
full satisfaction in hearing that a
practical plan is being investigated
to do away with the fog nuisance.
British scientists who have been
conducting a fog research at the Ma
tional Physical laboratories at Ted
dington have devised apparatus
ed with, may soon be offered as an
effective eliminator of the pail of
gloom that intermittently descends
on London in winter.
To Establish Sucking Pipes
"The projected method of abating
fogs consists of sucking pipes, either
temporary or permanent, connecting
with battles or air washers. These
battles would remove all smoke par
ticles from the sucked-in mist and
djssipate the fumes. If it were found
necessary to have the sucking pipes
tenn of conduits might have to be
laid.
"The method of smoke abatement
in New York is to compel by lsw the
equipment of smoke consumers, which
burn the smoke particles, or smoke
washers, by the larger coal users
Such legislative abatement is feasible
there, but would not work in Lon

chimneys, each giving into the all

is given an entertaining list Of
things 1.-The Japanese do different

Ladies sit with their hands folded
palms upward. Every lady shaves.
Ladies never brush their hair; they
only comb 1t.
1t is polite to make a noise with
the mouth when eating certain food.
1t shows one appreciates the food.
Ladies, however, rarely do so, as
they are supposed to suppress their
feelings.
A bride calls on her neighbor
and friends, instead Of the neigh
bors and friends calling on her.
Where we speak of a thimbleful
the Japanese speak of sparroW's
tear. Number three is always lucky,
excepting in takuwan (pickled rad

would be rude.
We speak of putting thing on

Will Give a Fortune
For One "DrN" Drink

Americas beer-drinking laborers
will pay a cool million, even more,
in ROYALTIES to the inventor Of a
prohibition drink Just as good" as
beer.
A million or two might prove a
mere installment on the ultimate Gu
mulative profit in store for the sue
cessful drink producer. New York
brewers believe the total profits will
be limited only by the business sa-
gacity Of the individual.
But the successful one has big
job on hand, because the new tipple,
as sketched by Col. Jacob Rupert,
New York brewer, must have a grain
Of fat basis, low sugar content. non
fermentable composition and cheap
ness.
"Unless this drink is invented by
Jan. 1, 1920" said Colonel Rupert,
brewery property worth more than
S100,000,00O may become industrial
junk. Experts in drinks and chem
istry have experimental in service
bars and laboratories in unsuccessful
efforts to find a beer substitute"

Church Burglars Steal
$1,000 From Aued Sexton

When Thomas Brown, the aged
sexton at st. Agnes's Cha64l of
Trinity Parish, at No. 121 West 91st
street, New York, entered his office
Saturday morning, he discovered
that $1,000 in cash and Liberty
bonds, representing his savings of
more than fifty years, had been
stolen from the safe.
Mr.. Brown has been sexton at st.
Agnes Chapel since it was built,
twenty-seven years ago. For fifteen
years previously he had been a sex
ton at old Trinity.
Of the loot, $500 was in Liberty
bonds, which were unregistered and
are therefore transferable. The re-
naming $1,000 was in bills. Besides,
there were sttckpins, cuff links and
other articles of iewelry, which were
taken. Many of these, Mr.. Brown
said, he treasured for their senti-
mental value.
THAT was absolutely all I had
said the aged sexton. And here ]
am, an old man now"
