Paris, Indeed, has lost her old time hegemony as the city of light. That primary has now passed to New York, with London a close sec ond.

HAVE NEW IDEA OF MARRIAGE Public Discussion of the Subject in the Japanese Press Is Regarded as Significant. A series of articles on love and mar riage Is appearing In Japanese ? news papers and magazines, as a sign of the modern "tendencies of the Japanese mentality. Professors in psychology, school teachers and writers of note are prominent in the discussion on reform ing t lie old matrimonial system, all advocating more freedom for personal choi?%. According to tin* old custom, the par ents chose bride and bridegroom and the marriage was performed without the Interested parties having known each other. Marriage was considered a duty towards country and family, the religion of ancestor worship be-, lng Its principle. The young couples lived with the parents and the bride owed complete obedience to her mother-in-law. The custom Is now prevalent for the young people to meet long before the marriage takes place so that they may know each other, and to live apart from the family is no longer con sidered undutiful. Yet, of late, the tendency appeared to marry for love's sake and out of personal choice. This new and romantic ideal is so strong that all means are tried to obtain lt, entaillnK elopements. suicides and notorious family dissensions. Hence the discussion for greater liberty and more social life, which are quite op posed to the old social system of Confucius, that men and women should keep apart and marry for duty's sake MUd not for love. Hard Namas to Pronounce. The new frontier which has .been drawn up In Upper Silesia will affect the place names o/ a number of cit ies more or less* familiar to the Amer ican public. Of the larger cities, Ilatl bor (Rflclborz In Polish), (Jlelwltz, (Gll wlce) and Heuthen (Bytom) will re tain their present German names. On the Polish Hide the place names of towitK which, while they have all along been known to the Poles by their original I'ollsh names, have for the last two centuries ofllclnlly borne German name*, will now revert to the Polish forms Thus Konlgshutte again in Huta Krolewska, Kattowlt/. again becomes Katowice. Pless is changed back to Psjscyyna. Tarnowltz will hkhIh be Tarnowsklo ( lory. and once more Lubllnltr. will be known a* Lub llnlec. Th*5 place ijniue of Kybnik will remain unchanged, the Polish and (?er man forms being identical. Flirtatious Island*.

DELIGHTS OF LIFE IN LONDON Fog Frequently So Thick That the Strongest Artificial Light Cannot Pierce |t. ^ The worst fog In 20 years was ex perienced In London when OOO.tXK) tons of so??t were suspended In the at mosphere In which 7,<MX),(M)0 people at tempted to live, work, and worst of nil. to get about, a short time aero. The possibility of reaching one's destination was ascertained only by tlx* laws of probability and chance. Fire engines called by i duty went through the pitch-black streets pre coded by m man on foot with u lan tern. Busies adopted the lesson of the wit'-roit trains that crossed the Western plains during the gold rush and trav eled In convoys of nine or ten, also led by a iflki ii on foot wHh a light. The busy traffic centers were marked by from four to ten huge acetylene torclies which pierced the surround ing darkness for not more than fifteen feet. Accidents were Innumerable. Prince Henry attempted to motor from London to Whlttlebury for. av hunting I engagement, ami alter narrowly es enping two collisions then decided tp ?l>end the night at a halfway house. A freakish incident occurred when two women, jost within two squares of home, were directed by a blind veteran whose misfortune made him Imper vious to fogs lu a district he knew by heart. Nigerian Products. A Nigerian trade review shows that goatskins used in making the. finest hoots, go mainly to the American market. Palm kernels from the south, especially Yoruhaland, are extricated from the shells by hand. Before the war most of the kernels went to (Jer many. whence In consequence Great Britain had to Import a large propor tion of the oil required for making margarine. The export of palm ker nels Is over 200,000 tons, while that of palm oil Is over 100,000 tons. The oil supplies work for men, as the ker nels for women. It enters Into the manufacture of soop and candles. The value of the tin ore production is be tween one and two mllMons sterling. The distance of the tin fields from the const l? a handicap to the trade. Hall way expansion has made things easier, the llgt.t railway to liakura, built for the purpose, having proved most ser viceable. Old Man'i Marital Philosophy. A ninety-year old bridegroom started his sixth honeymoon walking part way from Winona. Teun., to Cincin nati. Ohio, with his twenty six-year-old bride, as an example for other young married couples. "Ninety is a lot motv sensible age lo get married at than nineteen. Ill-* n lot of them younji snips du." lie said. "When n man Is ninety he has good souse, so he don't make mistakes. 1 started marryin' when I was twenty thref. I'm aorta getting used to It by now. When you haven't bad more than one wife you don't know anything." Mary Jane, hi* wife, said It ?ns love at first slfthf. "He met and married tne in nn hour." ah" **ild.
