Dry Farming in Africa.

Professor Carl Uhlig Of Tubingon
said that dry farming WIS beginning in
German Southwest Africa, which has a
hot and very drv climate, and that it
could be employed in few parts OF
German East Africa. He was greatly
interested in learning OF the work that
WAS being done in Montana and thought
that some OF these methods might be
profitably used In tho German colonies.

the dry regions of Australia where tb O
eucalyptus tree grows, the ground was
prepared for agriculture by cutting
down the trees without removing the
stumps and then turning I'D the soil
with n s,iump. stump plow. which was
so constructed that when it came to a
solid obstacle it would leap over it and
come down on the other side and keep
on making a furrow, Incidentally. he

II was suggested hv Prof. Eugen

sounding the lake and getting speCi'

raphers recalled that there were SINH
Manchuria and other parts of the

existed, some far larger than the Vel

Yellowstone Park Visited.

The visit to Yellowstone park had

and their underlying causes, At a
gathering held in an alcove of the
enormous "Lounge" Of the Canyon
hotel One evening Professor w. Nj
Davis OF Harvard, the director of the
excursion, gave q summary account OF
the physical geography Of the park
and started a discussion in the course
Of which many of the Europeans pre-
sented their views on the subject.

an outlet toward the Pacific ocean.
This was proved by various geograph-
ical considerations. and also bv tho
fact that fish had been found in the
lake which could only have come from
the Pacific. AS to how the lake came
to have its waters diverted to the
Atlantic two main theries were ad.

RITCHIE LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION
WoIsast Loses Title When He Fouls
In Sixteenth Round.

San Francisco, Nov. 29.-Through a
dense cloud of fog at Daily City wildly
excited throngs Of fight fans carried
from the roped arena their first pugil-
istic lightweight champion. Willie
Ritchie was hoisted on the shoulders Of
his supporters, and his victory was SO
unexpected that 1000 spectators made
the hills echo with their exulting shouts.
With the sixteenth round having only
two seconds to go Champion Wolgast
fouled Ritchie, and the referee was
quick to raise the local lads glove In
token of victory. The disqualification
came after Ritchie had floored VOL
CAST twice. Whether the foul was in
territorial or not was the theme OF dis
cussion among thousands as they left
the arena. There was no question,
however, about the foul. The fact is
Wogast delivered two low left hand
punches to Ritchies groin, and the ac-
ton of the referee was the only course
to pursue. Tom Jones, Wolgast's man
ager, was angered at the decision and
declared it was the rankest robbery.
Ritchie came up strong in the If
teenth and astonished the crowd by
outboxing the champion. He landed
some furnishing stomach punches. In
the sixteenth Ritchie rushed Wolgast
and landed a fierce right cross to the
jaw, which sent Wolgast TO the ropes
Again Ritchie whipped his right across,
and Wolgast went to the floor. He got
up groggy, and after another right to
the jaw he delivered the two fouls that
cost him the fight.
