How far is four billion that is a difficult thing f but it is so far that an airplane traveling 100 miles an hour would have to go at that speed for 4,500 years in order fo reach it. And so, while we know but little about Pluto, we must remember that there are now nine planets revolving about the sun and not eight as our school books tell us. We shall learn more about this new planet in a few months, for scientists all over the world are studying it every night. He’s Bow and Arrow Champion of the World Continued from Sizteenth Page shrough the door and probably never would have been found. During his many hunting trips Hill has shot some 50 rattlesnakes with bow and arrow. And uses to shoot these deadly reptiles any- but in the head. That is because the have & market value of $1 per lineal foot, and Archer Hill believes in collecting the bounties and rewards of his shooting skill wherever possible in addition to bringing home the bacon. One morning when the archer was returning to eamp om horseback after an all-night hunt for wildeats he almost met his gunning “waterioo” and a rattlesnake was the core of the thriling experience. The bowman was tired after his Jong vigil and had slumped forward the saddle for a eat nap. All of a sudden horse shied violently in passing a clump of unseated the rider. By the Hill kept his seat and escaped dive into the thicket. Dismounting, he e undergrowth and found a six- rattlesnake enjoying a sunbath. If his horse had thrown him, Hill would have dropped . As it was he shot the rattler and profited by the experience. while hunting wild turkeys with the late len H. Curtiss, one of the pioneers of Ameri- Hill proved that the bow is better shotgun for distance shooting, And archer can shoot two to three game which is available to gunner for but a single shot, A large owl the limb of a tree some 80 yards from “Too far for my gun, Howard, can you do with the bow?” said Mr. Curtiss. Whereupon Hill loosed an arrow at the owl on his distant perch. .The first arrow was dangerously close yet the bird did not move, Hill shot again as rapidly as you read these words. The second arrow was also a near miss. Still the owl failed to take warning. The third arrow bagged the bird. Archer Hill rivals the shooting stunts of the Western cowboys who extinguish cigarettes which their mates smoke at neighboring camp- fires by six-gun fire. Select the fruit which you want in an orange grove or apple orchard and Bowman Hill will sever the stem with ac- curate arrows at what seem impossible dis- tances so that fruit fall at your feet. 2 When it comes te bagging a canvasback on wing the arrow is even more efficient than scatter shot. For the skilled archer can shoot four times while the hunter armed with a double-barreled shotgun fires twice and then begins to reload. Miss a duck once by gun fire and you get no second chance at him. But where the silent though deadly arrows are used the story is quite Jifferent. Howard Hill, former college athlete and present archery champion, has the habit of turning up in the most unexpected places just in the mick of time. The guess of this writer is that the next heard from him will be in dispatches from Africa, as, in common with other modern bowmen, he cherishes the plan of some day shooting the most dangerous beasts in the world’s wildest wilds with bow and arrow. I there is any American archer qualified to brave the charge of a wild elephant, lion or gorilla, Howard Hill is the one, for he can shoot straight enough and strong enough and he has the hunting courage. Hill has promised to stop off in Washington some day and give an exhibition of his mastery of long bow and arrows. That event will be worth seeing, for the poets tell in verse that there is nothing more beautiful than the flight of an arrow, and when it.comes , .. to artistry with arrows Howard Hill 48 king of. the bowmen. 130 4 CRAFTS JOKES PUZZLES POSERS Now that school is once more in session, boys snd girls are learning new things every day. Perhaps some of the facts you learn in classes will help you answer these posers: 1. What two famous explorers made an ex- pedition into the Oregon eountry during early United States history? 3. How many rows of keys are standard typewriter? 3. What Buropean city has canals for streets? 4. In what ecountry is the city of Brussels Jocated? 5. How many ships dié¢ Columbus have when he discovered America? 6. What is the rate for airmail in the United States? 7. How were city streets illuminated before the cay of electricity? 8. What is the normal temperature of the human body? G ANSWERS. 1. Lewis anéd Clark. 2. Four. 3 Venice 4. Beigium. 5. Three. 6. Five cents for thn first ounce and 10 cemés for each additional ‘ounce. 7. Usually with gas lamps. 8.' 98.6 de- Juggling Act. JUGGLING is great fun and besides being entertaining to other people it serves t: strengthen your eyes and co-ordinate you: muscles. One of the easiest branches of juggling is .” A simple example of this is the eommon balancing of a long fishing pole on or ; pie plate and cheap glasses, so that if yeu slip will be negligible. You easier by pasting a round two sides of the plate so be less liable to ship. division of juggling is with No. 3 (right hand) should just pe starting its upward flight. Do not throw the balls too high. Five or six feet is the limit, and do not think that you must go fast. If you count each ball as you throw it into the air, you will find the going much easier. ‘“Showericg” three balls is a little more diffi- cult. Start with two balls in the right hand and one in the left as in the cascade. Ball No. 1 and ball No. 2 (both right hand) are thrown into the air in quick succession. Bal Ne. 3 (left hand) is then shot down to the empty right hand, which catches it just as the first ball is about to plop inte the left hand. The movement is kept up indefinitely. Cascading and showering four and five balls will come to any boy who will give this excel- lent pastime-sport the proper amount of per- severing practice each day.
