To Increase Fruit Yield.

One orchardist is said to have in
creased the yield Of his orchard from
fifteen to $50 bushels in the following
manner: He reduced the tops of the
trees one-fourth then in the fall he
plowed between the trees. After ma
nuring well he planted corn, beans and
pumpkins, and harvested a nice crop
of each. The next spring he repeated
the same form of cultivation, and that
year, in addition to the good crops of
corn, beans and pumpkins, harvested
seventy bushels Of good apples. The
next spring he manfred for the third
time and planted potatoes, which did
not do well, but he harvested $50 bush
els of fine apples from the orchard

For the energy Of future ages the

States was 2,7OOOOO,OOO bushels, suffi-
cient to produce 2O,ooo,0oO horse-pow-

the horsepower now used In the entire
country. The land still available for
agriculture is at least ten times that

Destruction by Rats.

There are those who declare that
nothing Is created In vain, and that
rats and mice are in some way a benefit
TO mankind. 1t is hard to see Just
how The statistician Of the Agrfcul-
tural Bureau at Washington computes
that they create S15,OOO,OOO damage a
year. That is the real money damage,
saying nothing Of the annoyance. As
an offset, the rat catchers of the world
sell about 81 900, 900 worth of skins Der
year, and the furriers work them and
sell them for five times that sum. II
is estimated that a full-grown rat will
eat six bushels OF corn per year.

HOW BILLIARDS ORIGINATED
London Pawnbroker Invented the Game
in His Leisure Hours.

1t is fact not generally known that
the game of billiards was invented by
a pawnbroker, William Kew by name.
who fiourished in London some time in
the Sixteenth century.
This inventive avuncular relative of
the needy used to employ his leisure
hours in wet weather when trade was
dull by taking down the three balls
which were the insignia of his profession
and pushing them about the counter of
his shop with a yard stick, after the
manner of the game as at present played,
and using boxes fastened to the sides
of his counter for pockets.
Out of this was developed a table
with a fence of slight elevation about
it to keep the balls from rolling on the
floor and to enable the player TO make
what have since become known as cush-
ion shots.-New World of Billiards.

A CHAMPION at IA is the distinction
N that falls to Howell Richardson,
"a a Los Angeles boy who is an eX-
pert in high diving, Richardson is a
natural born water rat and seldom is
out of the water. Howell won laurels
for himself in the recent diving eX-
hibitions held under the auspices of
the Southern California Swimming as
sociation at Bimini baths.
Prof Cox, who has taken an interest
in Richardson and in all his diving ex-
hibitions, is right at his heels in case
of danger. Once little Howell in maxi
ing corkscrew dive from the rafters
at Bimini bruised his shoulders, but
this did not prevent the silver haired
lad from repeating the same exhibit
tion.
Richardson is also a good swimmer
and every Sunday can be seen at the
different beaches going through some
of the most difficult movements known
only to a professional diver or swim
mer. When Howell was asked the
other day how he became a diver his
only remark was "just picked it up.
My folks used to live by the sea and
every afternoon | used to dive from
the highest points of the freight sheds
at an eastern shipping point, and one
day some of the boys that went with
me dared me to do the same, and ever
since l have almost lived in the
water"
Les Henry, who has charge of the
junior races in Southern California
speaks well of Richardson's ability as
a swimmer and diver and thinks the
boy has the making of an expert swim
mer when he grows up.

minutes of tumbling about the ring IN
which y okoyama mauled the big
American around the ring and finally
twisted the collar of the Jacket which
is worn by the jiu-jitsu performers
around the white man S neck, making
it necessary for Eddie to signal de-
teat to save being choked to death,
The Jap found Eddie's standoff rough
tactics too much for him in the first
few minutes of the bout. and Robin
sons straight arm when they came to-
gether disconnected him. He refused
10 go further when he saw he was get
ting the worst of it, but finally was
persuaded to proceed.
The Jap got in close on the second
bout and swung Robinson across the
ring. holding on to the white garment,
to which Eddie was unaccustomed.
Then they went down in a heap, and,
although Robinson gave the Jap hard
tussle, he finally secured the throat
hold which won him the second fall.
The crowd of Nipponese at the ring
side howled themselves hoarse over this
result After the fiVe-minute rest the
men got together again. The Jap
started roughing it by attempting to
kick Eddie, and then the latter came
back with his straight arm. After the
bout Robinson's legs showed numerous
marks where the Jap had kicked him
in a foul manner. The Jap quit, claim
ing that Eddie had struck him, and
was willing to leave the ring, though
he fought the police when Referee

son on default.
