The Richmond palladium. (Richmond, Ind.) 1906-1907, 1907-01-04
The Gag on the DOorknob.

A late home conner. walking through
the uptown residential section after
midnight, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord, would be surprised to see what ap-
pears to be white Grape hanging from
hundreds of doors and bell knobs. The
white thing is not an indication Of a
child's death, however, but merely a
bread bag that the baker supplies to
his customers. For years househoIders
had to put up with uncertainty about
their bread, not knowing whether some
of the numerous cats that make the
night less silent had investigated and
paved over their morning loaf. But
now the bakers, in order that their Gus
toners might feel more secure, have
provided these white bags, which the
housekeeper hangs on the doorknob at
night and the baker fills early in the
morning.

FINAL SCORE 100 TO rs
VANTAGE FROM THE START
MATCH HELD AT WESCOTT
AND GOOD CROWD WITNESSED
1T.

Before a crowd of one hundred
pool fans of the city Punk" Over
man defeated Nick Altrock, the great
base ball pitcher at the Wescott ho-
tel billiard parlors last night in a
match game of pool, by a decisive
score of 100 to 76.
The match was well played from
the start but the Richmond man al
ways kept in the lead, using his free
and easy manner of handling the
cue Overman excelled in manipula-
ting his cue ball and always left in
such position as to have an easy fol-
lowing shot. His highest run was
fourteen, Altrock having succeeded in
pocketing the first ball of the fifteen.
During the middle part of the match
Altrock made a game rally and al
most succeeded in tieing Overman,
but failed by five points.
During the last fifteen minutes of
play Overman had it all his way and
easily finished the score of one hun
dred. Nine balls were left on the
table after Overman had crossed Inc
century mark, but never batting an
eye he ran them off in easy mannet.
During the latter portion of the
game when it seemed almost impos
sible to catch Overman, Altrock con-

Fish Out of Water.

1t is well known, says knowledge,
that certain kinds of fishes are able to
live out of water much longer than
others, the power being dependent
upon the length of time that their gills
are capable of remaining damp. So
long as this condition lasts fish are able
to obtain the necessary amount of oxy-
gen from the air through the medium
of the water spread over the fine men,
brane of the gills. Recently a German
has invented an apparatus by means
of which the gills can be kept moist for
an indefinite period. This apparatus
consists of a wooden box with num-
Der of compartments corresponding
with the size of the fishes. On the floor
of each compartment is a layer half an
inch deep of cloths saturated with wa
ter which by evaporation keeps the at
mosphere moist The gills of the fishes
are thus kept damp. while oxygen is
supplied from a receptacle outside the
box. Many kinds of fresh water fish
have, it is said, been kept alive for
from three to four days by means of
this ingenious invention.

DECLINE Of Chinese Ten.

Some interesting statistics have been
collected by Vice Consul Arnold at Fu-
chau concerning the great decline in
China's tea trade. From 1873 when
tea was first introduced into England,
until 1887 China held exclusively the
tea trade of the world. Then India be-
gan to enter the tea market The Chi
nese trade reached high tide in 1856.
with total export of 800 100000
pounds. In 1884 China furnished about
az per cent of the worlds total. India
and Ceylon Is per cent and Japan and
Formosa 10 per cent. But In 1904,
when the total consumption had in,
creased to 100000 pounds. China
contributed only 80 per cent. India and
Ceylon 60 per cent and Japan and For
mosa 10 per cent. The decline in Chi
ma is ascribed to careless methods of
cultivation and preparation of the leaf.
