SCENERY DECEIVED AIRMAN.
There are six hundred French
artists -all of the able bodied ones,
it is said—mobilized for the carrying
on of a vast system of what, for lack
of a better descriptive name, may be
called out-of-doors fcene painting,
and they welac enormous so-called
"studios"—in reality, open yards—
ie the Belleview quarter of Paris,
just inside the north-eastern section
of the old fortified enciente.
The objects of which they paint
are all of natural size—trees, houses,
churches, towers, villages, towns,
fortresses, parks of artillery, stacrs
of munitions, aviation sheds, railway
trains, camps, regiments of men re-
posing, etc.
For months the French have been
using this outdoor stage scenery
near the hostile front to mislead and
deceive the enemy. It is only lately
that the German air scouts have be-
gun to suspect the deception practis-
on them, and ever since they

Many Food Staples Dearer Than in
France or England.
The high cost of living and partic-
ularly the price of coal is becoming
a subject of grave concern in Italy as
another war winter approaches. Due
to continued excessive freight rates
by sea many staple food articles are
dearer in Italy than either France or
England. Despite a special treaty
with England for cheaper freight
rates to be obtained by the loaning of
ships, sugar is selling at 20 cents a
pound and can be bought only in small
quantities for household consumption
from day to day. Coffee sells at 50
to 70 cents a pound, according to'
grade. Though Italy is a heavy pro-'
ducer of wines, a table wine that once l
sold at six cents a quart now sells for
14 cents and is inferior to the old
six -curt grade. Beer is sold at 14,
cent a quant milk at 10 cents -Good
butter is 55 cents a pound.
Coal that before the war sold at
I$10 per ton now sells at $50 and the
price may go higher as winter comes.
Last winter itwas $30 to $40 i

They said nothing about it to any-
one else. The other men wondering a
little at their energy, tried to keep up

the averageof work done in that hos-
pital was high. Even the physical ex-
ercise drill, the latest scientific addi-
tion to the curative treatment of con-
valescents, went with more spirit
than the instructor had ever known.
The end of the story cannot be told,
because the competition is still in
progress. So far, it is neck and neck.

Once he was addressing a meeting of
laborers, when one of his hearers ex-
pressed a wish to ask a' question, Dr,
Macnamara suggested that he should
wait till the end of the speech, but he
persisted until another, member of the
audience politely remarked: "Sit
down, you ass!"
There was some disorder, and a
third man shouted: "Sit down, „you're
both asses!"
This was Dr. Macnamara's chance, baliY

CLOCK IS MINUS H &N11S.
Curious London 'Timepiece Can Be Si
Heard, But Not Seen.
A public clock which, can be heard
but not seen is one of London's curi-
ous possessions. It is ire the tower
of St. Mary Abbot's Church, Kensing- Boy
toes, and is the only public clock in T
the immediate neighborhood.
It chimes the quarters and the t>
hours, but commits itself no further. ser'
It has the Glial, no !Wilds, no Outward Pae•
and visible sign of any kind to show uoe
that it is a dock. This eccentricity,.ive'
it is explained, isthe result of two en,
causes, one esthetic, the other Linen- ma
Ciel. When the tower was built in l
1870. a clock was suggested as an. Jo
afterthought, but the architect pro- w
tested that it we.sid mean the addi-
tion of fifteen feet to the tower, and hero
the ruin of its cherished proportions. tlr
The second point was that the
church, having but slender funds,
could not afford a clock with a dial.
A Compromise was arrived at by in-
stalling the works of a chiming clock
in the belfry without dial or heretic,
