THREE new
DIVISIONS
ADDED TO CITY OF LATE MAKE
OUTLOOK GOOD
LOTS SOLD FAST
Much Building Chiefly in South and
West Parts Has Been Going on
Lately.
LOTS SOLD FAST

The real estate outlook in Richmond
at present is better than it has been
for several years past, and this year
bids fair to become banner year in
real estate dealings.
Three new additions have been
made to this city within the past
summer, all Of which have been made
in the most swiftly growing portions
of the city, namely, the south end and
West Richmond. The Earlham
Heights lots went like hot cakes, and
with a day or so after the opening
of their sale, they were all gone. Yes
terday and Sunday another addition
in West Richmond was opened, with
the same result, and the new addition
of Fred Won Pein, south part of the
city, is almost entirely sold out.
The fact that these lots sold so rap
idly and at such fancy prices is in
dicative of the fact that Richmond
real estate is looked upon as sure
investment, and one that is safe. The
three new additions have all been
opened up for residence districts en-
tirely, showing that lots for residences
are also at premium in the city.
The new additions to the city will
give three new residence sections, and
will open up comparatively new parts
of the town to lot hunters, so that in
few years these places will be -four
ishing residence districts and Rich
mond will have advanced another step
towards being a large city.
The rapidity with which these new
sections Of lots have been sold has
caused feeling of confidence with re-
gard to the condition Of real estate
and, doubtless, within the next year,
several other divisions will be plated
Richmond is rapidly outgrowing its
old boundaries and there seems to be
an overflow. All of the houses in the
city that are rented are filled, and it
is very hard task to secure house
for rent, save in very undesirable
quarters.
This is assigned as one of the rea-
sons for the many buildings that have
been made during the past summer,
and this, together with the many new
purchases Of residences of lots gives
an assurance that Richmond is hust-
ling and outgrowing its present quar-
tiers.
1t is a noticeable fact, too, that the
most of the new houses have been
built either in the south Or west parts
Of the city, owing to the steady fights
which the residents of these portions
have made for improvements.

withdraw attention from their young
A gentleman in Ceylon once found his
dogs making set a a rat. He called
them off and picked up the creature by
its tail. 1t hung limp, rigid and
seemingly lifeless. Taking it to the
parlor to look at it by lamplight, he
examined it for several minutes. Sat
isfed that it was dead, he threw it to
the dogs which had followed him into
the room. and which were still quiver-
ing with excitement. AS soon as it
reached the floor the rat suddenly rose
to its legs and bolted before the dogs
could recover from their astonishment.

LIVING ON HUNTING RIGHTS.
British Aristocrats Who Rent Them
Out for Sole Support.

Were II not for the enormous sums
paid for fishing and shooting rights. says
London Tid-Bts. many people of ancient
names and gCodly title would, in the most
literal sense. have no means of liVlihood
whatever, and only the other day one of
the best known property agents Of the
West End of London drew up for the
writer a list of a dozen people mixing in
society of an exclusive kind every penny
of whose income is derived from the let
ting of sporting rights.
Nearly all of the money thus expended
has been made in commerce, and the
mentary evidence proving that there are
lots of men who did not mind paying as
much as G10a for every deer G3 for every
trout, and 500 for every salmon they
kill. plus the snort of killing them One
of the most remarkable features Of this
letting is the fact that only about one in
every hundred of the owners of ancient
sporting rights ever enjoys his privileges
as a sportsman. He either prefers to or as
compelled to. part with such privileges.
and those who take advantage OF them
are nearly all people in business.
This renting of fishing and sporting
rights has been extended down to COM
paratively humble people in the prov
inces. In places like Leeds. for instance.
half dozen small tradesmen buy up the
Yorkshire. the one idea being to get out
of the turmoil of town life with some dis
tinct object in view Many a small York
shire farmer is being kept and well kept.
not by his farming, but by the letting of
some comparatively insignificant sporting
right that was not thought to be worth .
pence ten years ago.

1t is singular that d.. Cu.tmann ig-
nores the record made D.! i:oger Bacon
on secret arts. That work was written
! in 1870. He is credited there with de-
Scrbing a method OF reproducing thun-
DER and lightning. He says it is neces-
sary only to mix sulphur, saltpetre and
/ ''lura mop cum ubre." 1t is asserted
that the latter phrase was merely a
transpcsition of the letters in carbon
UNI pulverc," which is the Latin for
pulverized charcoal. The story has an
. air of probability and is quoted by va
rious encyclopedias. A good way TO
reconcile this conflict of testimony is to
assume that Bacon was really the au-
| thor of the composition, but that no
practical use of it was made in war for
40 or so years. Printing hadn't then
been invented, and Bacon's ideas were
disseminated slowly.
