LARGEST OF HERoNRIEs.
An Important archaeological Discovery
Near Valley Forge, Pa.

Near Valley Forge, Pa.
A very important discovery from an
pathological standpoint was made re
Gently by DR.. William E. Hughes, the
well known ornithologist of Philadel.
phia, who is now with Lieut. Peary's
expedition to Greenland and the Arctic
seas.
DR.. Hughes has found the largest
heFpnry existing within the knowledge
Of any scientist, in Valley Hills, place
near Valley Forge, Chester county, Pa.
1t is certainly much larger than any
heronry ever discovered in this country,
and DIR. Hughes says no book on ornith-
ology that he has been able to peruse,
gives heronry of so many nests
In Isss, DIR. Hughes was on little
scientific expedition through Chester
county. When he passed through VAL
ley Hills he discovered on the trees of a
small copse about 100 heron nests The
nests were rather imperfect and it could
be seen that the birds had just begun to
settle there
In April last DR.. Hughes, accompan-
led by DR.. McCadden. a taxidermist of
Philadelphia, determined to visit the
interesting copse at Valley Hill to see
how the herons were coming along.
Much to his surprise he found the trees
literally covered with nests. Mr.. Nc
gladden. assisted him in counting the
homes of the birds and found they
numbered over coo. In the following
month DIR. Hughes returned to the her
onry and found that the many eggs he
had seen on his April visit had Matched
and the young herons were there in
great quantity.
As far as DIR. Hughes has been able to
ascertain, the greatest number of nests
found in any herony in this country and
given in ornithological books has been
less than 100. 1t was at Blue Rocks,
Berks county. He has therefore made
special study of the Valley Hills her
onry and will soon write paper on it.
1t appears that during the sojourn Of
these birds at Valley Hill between
April and September, they are subjected
to much discomfort. DIR. Hughes found
that turkey vultures eat the young,
while crows pick up the eggs The
trees are also all covered with the lime
of the herons. The immense number of
the birds causes their chattering to be
very noisome continually, and can be
heard distinctly quarter Of a mile
away. The heronry has consequently
been of great annoyance to the farmers
in the vicinity.
Dr. Hughes says these herons belong
to the BLACK Cap" species, so called
from their black heads. They are very
large. Many of them, he says. stands
foot in height. They are beautiful birds
and possess very strange features. He
has taken a number of photographs of
the birds. nests and the locality.-Phila-
delphia Press.

ASTRONOMICAL TRIUMPHS.

Two Discoveries of high Order Due En-
sIreIy to American skill.
The Lick observatory has already be-
come famous from the numerous valu-
able observations which have been
made within the last Few years We
certainly mean no disparagement to its
previous achievements when we say
that they have been altogether cast in
10 the shade by the announcement of
the last discovery which has been made
on the summit of Mount Hamilton. We
fully appreciate the splendid series of
double-star discoveries by Durham
We recognize tae value of the observa-
lions Of Mars, of the beautiful lunar
photographs. of the admira be and in
structive spectroscopic work Of Keller,
but from herceforth It would seem that
the Lei: telescope must be chiefly re-
membereG. not for these admirable Ia
