Ballard Robbers Tackle

BALLARD, April 2s.--A few min

a lively gun battle occurred at Peter

II. r. Chestnut proved the van

robbers and besides dong himself a

Of desperate crooks.
At $50 o'clock this morning an
alarm Of fire caused the volunteers
10 turn out. Mr. Chestnut had just
closed his place and went 70 the hose
house and assisted the nremen o.
get out. Afterward he returned TO
his saloon for an article he had for
gotten. On entering the front door
he heard voices In the back room.
On going to the rear OF the barroom
he was startled BY revolver shot
Drawing his revolver he fired IN the
direction OF the sound twice before
hts assSilants returned the FIRE. Mr.
Chestnut emptied his revolver and
dropping to the floor tried 10 gain a
position behind the bar At this
time two more shots were fired at
him. He sprang to his feet and ran
out on Ballard avenue for the pur-
pose OF giving an alarm. He re-
ceivsd assistance and In a few min
utes returned 20 his saloon, only 10
find the would-be nurdsrers had es-

three men at least. as he heard as

There are several varieties of the be-
gonla which are well adapted to win
ter use. Indeed, they belong to the
eyer-bloomlng class Of plants, as under
ordinary treatment they are seldom
without flowers, and under liberal
treatment they bloom profusely at
nearly all seasons OF the year. In this
respect they are quite the equal Of the
geranlum They are also Of very easy
culture. All begonias do their best
when given a spongy, porous soil Leaf
mould containing a generous amount
OF sand suits them better than a
loamy compost, but. they will flourish
in the latter II It has sand enough in
It to make lt frlable. Good draining
is essential. In a poorly drained soil
defective root action is quite sure to
result. and this is shown by the foliage
..rning brown at the edges and falling
off. Often the plants fan apart, joint

pigeon Ranch. -

Twelve thousand flying pigeons arc
the main part Of a pigeon ranch stu
oted on the outskirts of Los Angeles,
Cal The pigeons live in three large
tiers of coops or houses and in numer-
Gus smaller ones. The largest of the
houses contains 5000 coops inside and
749 outside. The other two buildings
are made no OF 1000 and 1000 coops re
sDectively. A remarkable fact in con
nection with this place is that the
pigeons never leave the ranch, and it
is seldom that one ever gets beyond
the large wire fence that surrounds the
Mace They are fed on assorted grain
and screenings at cost Of about IS
per day. There are estimated to be
about 10000 flying pigeons on the
ranch. There are also a large number
of young birds or squads which are
still in the nests These squads are
killed for the market before they
are old enough to ny. AS soon as they
are able to fly they get thin. Eacf
day the keeper goes through the nests
and secures enough squads to fill TIT
market orders for the next day. Thes'
birds are killed by disjointing thei
necks. and after being dressed are dc
livered. This is a profitable industr,
that requires very little care. - Tn

Magic stereogran.

Mr.. Frederick q. Ives, of Philadel-
phia. recently described Mt the Frank
lin Institute new method Of pToduc-
inc stereoscopic pictures. While the
process is chiefly interesting as
scientific novelty, he suggests that it
could be employed in the production
OF popular Illusions, such, for instance,
as a magical gallery Of sculpture, in
which the statues would appear to be
life sized and as If seen through and
beyond a glass behind which there
was nothing but empty space. This
illusion would be heightened by the
fact that in viewing the images no
stereoscope or other optical aid would
be required The result is obtained
by photographing the images on a
/ sensitive plate in a camera, through a
line screen, such as Is employed in
/ half-tone work, the image being formed
with suitable lens, behind which are
two small apertures placed at the pu
plllary distance apart. In viewing Tho
positive q similar line screen is EN-

After visiting many Of the apple dis
tricts of Europe, as a fruit buyer and
exporter, l have become convinced that
a great deal of space goes to waste
during the early years of the average
orchard. In many cases the land is not
fully utilized during the whole life
time of the planter. The most prac-
teal plan seems that of thick-serting
and subsequent removal Of a part OF
the trees. Young trees are set twenty
feet apart, the alternate trees being
some young bearing kind. They VIII
do well for nearly twenty years in this
climate, producing several times more
fruit than a thinly planted orchard.
Then the rows should be taken out al
ternately in 4 diagonal direction. None
of the remaining trees will be nearer
in any direction than twenty-eight feet
apart, and with most varieties the
orchard will not be too crowded during
the lifetime of the planter Those who
prefer thinner setting may START Will
twenty-five feet apart and thin by the
same plan TO thirty-fvc feet.-W. +
