ANNIVERSAR
 OF RING BATTLES

1895-Jack McC1elland lost to Tommy Mitchell in three rounds at McKeesport, Pa. This was the first ring appearance of McClelland, long famous featherweight Although defeated in his first bout. Jack fought again in a. couple of days, and was victorious over some of the best lit He men of the ring in the next few years. He was knocked out by Oscar Gardner at Wheeling in 1898, and a little later at Youngstown he fought a 20-round draw with Eddie Lenny In 1899 Marty McCue now a New ' ork legislator, held him to 20 round draw at Brooklyn. He then defeated Sol1y Smith, of Los Angeles the ex-featherweig9lt champion, and fought draws with Oscar Gardner ana Kid Broad, by both of whom he had previously been defeated, in 1900 The next year he knocked out Eddie San try, no wa member of the Illinois legislature, but was knocked out by Dave Sullivan at Louisville Tn 1902 Jack knocked out Tommy Sullivan, af- terward featherweight champion, at St Lotis and in 1904, in the same city, he defeated Abe Atteu. In the following year McClel1and quit the game.

Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British ambassador, visited the state department and left with Secretary Bryan and Counselor Rob- ert Lansing a, note formally request ing that Horn be extradited for trial in Canada The request said that Horn had committed an offense in. violation of section 282 of the crini- nal code of New Brunswick, which de- c1ared it to be unlawful and punish able by life Imprisonment for any per son to destroy a train, bridge or rail- way fence with intent to injure or endanger the safety of any person travelling or being on any railway bridge.s' etc. The formal request for the extradit1on Of Horn was referred by the secretary of state to Gone Johnson. the solicitor of the depart ment, who has the case under. advise

 What is the exact meaning of sea level as the term is used in stating al tifudes2 Is there any difference in the sea level of the Atlantic and the Pacific oceans7
 The phrase means the level that the sea would assume if the influences of winds and tides were eliminated This does not mean an average of the highest and lowest tides. but the av craze height of the water as deter mined from all stages of the tide. As the ocean Is in constant state of ebb and numerous observa tione are neces- sary to determine its mean OF average level if there were no tides.

What is an echo, and what Is its cause7
 An echo is a sound repeated from some obstructing surface so that a per- son in the path Of both the original and reflected waves hears the sound twice. Sound being produced by waves of .he air, when such waves meet an opposing surface as wall they are re- hected like light waves The sound so heard as if originating behind the reHecting surface is an echo. An echo returns to the point from which the sound originated if the renect1ng sur face is at right angles to it. An oblique surface defects the sound in another direction so that it may be ard else where, though not at the mt where the sound originated. If the direct and reflected sounds succeed one another with great rapidity. as happens when the reflecting surface is near. the echo only clouds the original sound so that 1t is not heard distinctly. and 1t is this which interferes with the hearing in churches and other large buildings.

THREE DRY FARM ESSENTIALS
Very Best and cteanest Seed Should
H Be Planted, Soil Kept Fertile and
Moisture Conserved.

AS moisture conservation in dry
farming is the paramount issue where
none can be spared without detriment
to the crop. three things must be kept
in mind: r~
1. The very best and cleanest seed
only should be planted. and as far as
possible. the most drought-resistant va
riety of its kind. The presence of
weeds must not be tolerated under any
circumstances. @
2. The soil must be kept in high
state Of fertility. 1t has been scien-
tifically determined by Professor Wild.

Ancient Artisan. In Africa.

The question has often been asked: /:
Was there any earlier race in occupa-
tion of the area in Africa at present
held by the Bantus? In Man w. H.
Beech reports that in the Kikuyu coun.
try some ancient pottery has been said
to be the work of a people called Gum,
ba. who displaced the Miathoachiana,
cannibal dwarfs.
These Miathoachiana are now be.
lieved to be earth-gnomes, skilled in
the art Of iron working. Mr.. Beech.
with some amount of plausibility, sug.
gests that they were possibly bush
men, pygmies, or both, and that they
were local indigenous race of the
stone age who used flint instruments
often found in the Kikuyu country.
The Gumba are said to have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyu
the art OF smelling. They may have
been pre-Bantau Hamite invaders; but
of this there is no evidence and the
legend may tend to show that the
first discovery of iron was made in
Africa.

USE FOR IMMATuRED CROPS
II Dry Farmer Keeps Herd Of Cows
Crops Not Fully Developed Can Be
Economically Utilized.

II the dry farmer does not keep
stock, he must rely entirely upon the
income from his crops. II an unfavor-
able season should come and the crops
only partially mature. either through
lack OF rainfall or from early frost.
he has no means by which he can
derive a substantial income from the
farm. While. II the dry farmer keeps
herd Of cows. these immatured crops
can be economically utilized. While
we do not and should not expect un-
favorable seasons the wise dry farmer
keep his light burning and prepares
himself to meet any conditions which
may arise. R
Further. these crops. be they mature
or immature, can be made to bring the
maximum cash returns by feeding
them to the dairy COW. This reduces
the risk in crop raising and enables
the dry farmer to do an all.around
cash business. There never is 30 un-
favorable a season but that plenty of
feed OF some kind can be raised for
the dairy herd.

USING ALFALFA FOR A LAWN
Most Satisfactory Plant Of Drought

While some have made success of

grass. ETC.. believe the most salts
factory is alfalfa.
This has to be grown in mat, and
cut with a lawn mower. The ground
Is first spaded about foot deep, and
the seed planted thickly on nice
fined surface. No manure must be
used because 1t lifts the soil and let's
in too much air. which burns the
young plants.
The alfalfa must never be allowed
to grow SO high that lawn mower
cannot be used on 1t. The idea is to
keep it close to the ground. forming
a beautiful green mat. For this rea-
son 1t has to be planted very thick and
continually moved.
In consequence of no growth being
allowed the consumption of moisture
Is low and the alfalfa lawn will stay
