Where All the Sugar Goes

Not more than half of the sugar we
Americans consume is used in our
homes. The rest goes into manufac-
tured products. The estimates of the
quantities used in manufacture run
this way. ~ %
Our candy makers alone use more
than $4,000 tons. and 10000 tons
more go to sweeten up chocolates and
ice creams.
Every year the bakers dip into
the national sugar bowl for we'll over
$4,000 tons for bread. $1,000 tons for
crackers and 10000 tons goes every
year into frostings and odds and
ends in the bakeries. ..
Fourteen thousand or more soft
drink makers hit the nations sugar
bin for at least 10000 tons for their
concoctions and another 100000 tons
goes into condensed milk.
Twenty thousand tons Of sugar Is
chewed up each year in gum and

Pen FiIIino Stations

What do you do when your foun-
tain pen runs dry at the most incon-
venient possible moment-as 1t always
does? If you are a student at the
University of Chicago you patronize
the nearest filling station. The cam
pus Is supplied with these quite as
freely as the Lincoln highway with
filling stations for the tourist. A pen
ney in the slot operates the machine
and enables the owner OF the most
voracious pen TO appease the thirst OF
his instrument says the Scientific
American.
The machine works with self filling
pens and with the old style that fills
from a dropper-provided the user
has his own dropper. The dropping
of coin and the turning of the han
die releases the ink from the reser-
voir. and the fluid flows into the
right hand well. whence II can be
sucked up by the pen itself or by the
dropper. A slot in the upper left hand
corner Of the outfit contains a wiper
with which any damage done by
splitting or stopping may be repaired.
II one drink turns out not enough. a
second penny will. OF course. turn the
trick.

Stoves, think, must be a curl.

cause of the questions people ask
me about my Passion Play stove
which attracted so much at
tention in New York, at the begin.
ming of our United States tour. l

this country. only they are made OF
iron, and not like our stoves OF
porcelain tiles that help to keep
US warm in Oberanmergau when
the Alps are covered with snow
So It is not surprising that people
In New York wonder at my stove:
because in New York people live
in great community buildings heat
ed by steam Most heating in
American towns and cities and in
large country homes is through
central beating plants. America Is
very modern. very quick to invent
and use such wonderful conven-
fences. America could not turn
back to the stove any more than
1t could change Its electric trans
to horse trans.
But my stove is the kind OF stove
that is our substitute for your radi-
ator. 1t does not have firebox,
but takes the fire from a fireplace
on the other side OF a wall. One
room you see has a crate and the
fire is brought into the stove from
this crate through tile pipes, COM

low. This is in principle like the

Traffic HaIts for Pigeon

Traffic was heavy and the police
man signaled. shouted, frowned and
grinned according to the changing
character OF the four-ways crowds.
The white signal flashed and waiting
drivers prepared to throw in their
gears and speed north or south. But
the arm of the law warned them back.
They craned around their windshields
to find out the trouble. The police
man with arm still ulliffed was gaz-
ing at a shallow pool OF rainwater in
the hot pavement. says the New
York Sun and Globe.
"That bird shall have her chance"
he growled at the nearest car. "She's
tried to get a sip Of water four times
and what with all tie pedestrians and
cars and other interferences she's
like to die Of thirst"
The pigeon slipped peacefully, rails
ing its sleek throat each time for the
drink to slip down more smoothly.
Then II waddIed haughtily away.
The policeman's arm came into ac-
ton and a satisfied grin spread over
his rudy cheeks. Come along now,
with your noisy cars" he invited.

Sustain P. u. in
Case against City
Lewiston Water Com.

Bangor, Me, Jan. y
The law court today handed down
a rescript in the Androscoggin coun-
ty case of the Public Utilities Com
mission VS.. the City of Lewiston Wa
ter Commissioners. oyerruling the
exceptions of the defendants and
sustaining the decision of the Pub
lie Utilities commissioners.
The Public Utilities Commission
by two orders required the city OF
Lewiston, to extend its water mains
along Leavitt avenue and Lemont
avenue in that city and to render
service to all persons living upon
the avenues desiring such service.
This court is not an appellate
court from the public utilities COM
mission, to retry questions of fact
and decided by that tribunal" says
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish OF
Augusta in the rescript.
The only power of review relates
to questions of law" continues the
rescript.
THE single issue in this case is
whether the required extension is
financially eXpedient. taking into
consideration the estimated cost on
the one hand and the estimated rev.
enue on the other. This is purely
an economic and not a legal ques-
ton.
? "A case might be conceived where
the disproportion of revenue to cost
might be SO fiXedly great. with no
prospect of betterment in the future,
as to make an order of extension
confiscatory in it's nature and there
fore open to relief from the court.
But this is not such a case.
1.-The proposed extension reaches
land partially developed and sparse
ly occupied by dwellings. IL in all,
so that at the present time the in
come from investment would be
small. But what the future may
bring in the way of new houses,
whether the water system extension
should precede further building or
further building should precede the
extension in that particular locality
on the edge Of populous and grow
ing city owning it's. own water sys-
tenn, are questions peculiarly within
the study, experience and good
judgment of this commission which
was established by the legislature to
pass upon these and kinored ques-
tions. The judgment of the. court
in such matters is not to be substi-
tuted for that of the commission

Ecuador Pineapples

Ecuador is fast becoming great
growing country, said Frank
Edward Kink of Esmeraldas, Ecua-
dor, to the New York Times.
"Pineapples grow to a weight of
Is pounds in the province of Es-
meraldas," he declared. This is
about twice the size of the pineapples
grown in Hawaii and shows that we
must have very superior soil. More
over, there is no place in the world
that produces such large, thin
skinned, seedleSs oranges. 81 t
Indications are that the province
has also considerable wealth in Oil.
There are great number of oil seep-
ages which would indicate a great
production of high gravity oil. The
character of this oil is higher than
the famous Pennsylvania oil, and has
been produced in Ecuador for the
last 800 years, but it is only recently
that modern machinery has been
used for drilling, with excellent sue
cess. One month ago an English
company brought in a well of 800
barrels an hour of 3S gravity oil.
These conditions combine to encour-
age immigration, which is steadily
increasing in Esmeraldas."
