SHOW ATMASONIC HALL
EXHIBITION UNDER AUSPICES OF
LOCAL ASSOCIATION.
Poultry, Pigeons, Pet Stock and Cats
Of High Degree-A Fine
Display.

All was confusion and hustle at Masonic
Hall this afternoon A big force of men
was at work arranging the exhibits of the
Washington Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock
Association and the Washington Cat Club
Today was set for the opening, but not
withstanding the officials and large force
Of assistants have been at work since early
Monday morning, all the arrangements will
not be completed until this evening, when
it is expected the exhibition will be aus
piciously started.
The large main hall and the side room
saying that in the matter of class there
has never been an exhibition equal to the
present one. Never before have the entries
been so numerous. In fact, the officials
have simply been overwhelmed, fully 1000
birds having to be returned on account of
the lack of space On account of the nu-
merous entries the experts among the OH
Gals have been enabled to Gull out the
very best and as a result the exhibition as
a whole will show off nothing but what
belongs in the highest grades.
In the feathered exhibition 1t was found
necessary to stack the cages in tiers of
two and in some places three high, and
contract the aisles to about five feet. In
this way the managers have crowded In a
wonderful assortment of chickens, ducks,
turkeys, geese. swans. pheasants, Belgian
hares, rabbits guinea pigs and ferrets. 60
ing into the big hall a person Is reminded
of a country fair, but there never was an
exhibition equal to the present at any
county state affair.

HOW TREES DRINK.
Plan to IrriEate an Orchard by Cap
iIlary Attraction.

Irrigation on the capillary attraction
principle is now being investigated by
the Colorado state board of horticul-
ture and the government experiment
station at Fort Collins. with a view to
recommending it for adoption in Colo
RADIO. Fruit growers who have expert
mented with the scheme declare it to
be entirely feasible. says the Denver
Post, and much more effective than the
old way of feeding moisture to trees by
way of the roots.
Flage Carter of Park county, the first
person TO try the plan In Colorado,
wrote Governor Orman some time ago
explaining the method of irrigating a
tree by capillary attraction. He takes
u vessel, pan or a bucket or anything
that can be tied TO a tree limb and
will hold water. He fills it with wa
ter and then bends a twig about the
circumference of an ordinary lead pen
ell into the water. The liquid will be
rapidly absorbed by the twig, ard in
turn the water will enter the limb and
soon permeate every part of the tree.
The problem of keeping the vessels
supplied with water is not a difficult
one. for the reason that half gallon
of water will do as much irrigating as
many cubic inches under the present
plan, the adherents OF the scheme
claim.
Capillary attraction is the future of
orchard irrigation" says the originator
of the proposition. Il took up the mat
ter two years ago. but did not put it TO
a final test until last spring. Then |
had two trees that needed attention
badly. and | experimental with each.
One young tree had been rubbed thor
Oughly by horse and was wilted
badly. | applied my method of water
ing it, and within one week it com
pletcly revived. | next treated n sick
apple tree, and now it is all right.

RUSSIAN ENAMEL.
A Striking Novelty In the Way of
JeWeIry.


Quite Il smart novelty introduced by
a live icweler is what is called Russian
enamel. says the Philadelphia Record
Naturally, il is made in Germany.
Nearly everything is. 1t comes in a
number Of forms. all pleasing and all
decidedly odd. The quainteSt part OF il
is that the enamel is transparent.
This quality is particularly well ex
plotted in the hatpins. There are two
sorts of heads-Onc in the shape Of
Mercury wings, the other i'll the design
that tops n knights staff They show
off the design the best of any of the
pieces because they stand out where
the light may shine through.
For mere prcttincss the double shell
is the choice. Ii is one of the novel
things To hang ON Il chain. The shells
fold together, with room between for Il
keepsake. The enamel changes from
blue to green and is marked off finely
with Gilt in cathedral glass effect.
Much more elaborate is Il necklace
with Il pendant. 1t iS of gold in an
ancient design. and two bits Of the
enamel break its length Il few inches
each way from the pendant. And this
pendant is in the shape of Il feminine
head with green and blue hair around
hcr il DRY face in true p0StcrCSqUe fash
ion. \ caI,rchun emerald is OH her fore
head. and the more you look ut ii the
more You wonder if the idea is Egyp-
tiHn or ecclesiastical.

connected with one of the leading Jap
aneSe companies.
In recent years our people have
made wonderful progress in this line"
he said. Our merchant marine is
prosperous and has expanded beyond
our own hopes The government gives
heavy subsidies and encourages the
business in every way possible. Until
recently we have been obliged to go
abroad for our vessels. buying them
chiefly in Europe. But we have stud
plants that can produce almost any
sort OF craft. Soon we will be build

lions to a Conference.

lions to a Conference. ~
The United States has been invited
by Germany 10 participate in con-
ference for the study of chronological
problems. says Il special dispatch from
Washington TO the Philadelphia Ledg-
er. Emperor William is taking the i'll
itiative in this movement. doubtless
not desiring to have the czar of Russia
suggest all the propositions having a
tendency to bring civilized people clos
er together.
Germany has invited also all the Eu
rOpean countries, Mexico, Japan. Bra
Zil, Argentina and Chile. The invita-
tion TO this government was given d.
rectly to- the state department by
Count Won Quadt. the German charge
d'affaires. He acted under instructions
from Berlin.
1t is proposed to hold the conference
some time next spring. All the coun-
tries invited TO participate are expect
ed to send delegates. These will nat
urally be scientists of high standing
and especially those whose duties bring
them most in contact with the general
topic of earthquakes and disturbances
of the earth's crust. No action looking
to calling the conference will be taken
until considerable number OF the ma
tions requested to send delegates have
replied to the invitation.
Officials at Washington are very
much interested in the proposition ad-
vanced by the German government.
Its Importance is materially enhanced
by reason of the recent eruptions on
the islands of Martinique and st. Vim
cent. 1t is expected this government
will accept the invitation, although no
definite decision will be reached until
the return Of Secretary Hay.
