team during the past week has done
much 10 awaken enthusiasm among
their admirers here and the ability OF
the local team TO play ball was celariy
shown. The series with Fort Wayne
was very interesting. and while the Wis
itors won all three games, il was only
accomplished by nigh class ball playing.
Considering the individual players on
the Washington team it is surprising
that they have done no better than sixth
place. The chief drawback to the team
seems to be determination on the part
of the players to improve their batting
averages whether they win or not. In
Dinsmore, Beadle, Riley and McIlvaine,
the management has secured a quartette
of good pitchers, and all that Is neces-
sary to put the team in the first division
is an improvement in team work. Ritz,
at sort, after his recent lay off. is play
ing fine ball, and Mitchell, the new
catcher recently signed by the manage
ment is first-class man. McKeown is
back at first base after a day or so off,
suffering from lame ankle. From now
on the team bids fair TO improve. and
with very little picking up, it will play
winning ball.
The attendance at the Memorial Day
games would have gladdened the heart
of major league magnate and notwith
standing the long series of games which
have been played on the home grounds.
no complaint has been heard from the
management Of poor attendance.

Planting Lilies In the Fall.

l would always advise fall planting,
writes Ebcn h. Rextord in The Ladies'
Home journal. My experience has been
that lilies kept out of the ground during
the winter season, no matter how much
pains has been taken with them, are sure
to he weakly. They may recover to a GER
tain extent, but seldom make satisfactory
plants until now bulbs have been formed
about tho old ones, and even these, because
of lack Of vitality in their parent, are not
likely to give complete satisfaction. To
have good specimens 1t is imperatively
necessary that you plant strong and vigor-
GUS bulbs, and these you will not find
among those that have boon long out of
tho ground.
/ would advise ordering bulbs very early
in the fall. An early order Is sure of early
attention, and you will be sure 10 get your
bulbs as soon as possible after they reach
the dealer. II you take NY advice about
getting your bod ready as soon as You send
OFF Your order there need be no delay about
getting them into the ground on their ar
rival, and an examination will show you
that your bulbs are plump, juicy and with
a heavy feeling, which indicates liberal
quantity of moisture stored up In the
thick scales. Another reason why early
planting Is desirable is this: If you get
your bulbs into the ground month be-
fore cold weather sets in, they will have
time to form roots and become established
IN their new quarters Late planted bulbs
-annot do this. II you make any delay,
you must not expect very much from them

THE FURY OF vESUvlUS.
-Four Fiery Streams Are Now Flowing
From It's Crater.

lUs CTAters
Since the renewed activity Of the volca-
no Vesuvius changes made by the volcan-
ic forces have become very evident Two
new eruptive craters have opened up on
the northwestern side of the conc below
the former summit. At first only little
lava flowed from the now rents. During
tho first week of July one Of these rents
increased in size until it reached to the
foot of the oindcr cone. From this crevice
lava stream Of nearly 200 feet wide flows
with great rapidity toward the hills of
Crocclla, and has by this time crossed the
road from the observatory to the station of
the cable railway. A heavy rain of ashes
accompanied this eruption, and has con-
tinued ever since.
A great number Of sightseers are com
ing to Naples to admire the wonderful
spectacle of Vcsuvius in activity. The last
reports announce that four fiery streams
are now descending ,ho sides of the volca-
no, of which the - flowing toward Re-
sina has already destroyed two vineyards.
Professor Pamicri of the meteorological
observatory had two immense stone walls
built for the protection of the buildings.
1t Is feared, however, that this protection
will be TOO feeble to withstand tho enor-
nous pressure brought upon 1t by the
stream of lava which is ovornowing the
crater at that point with a thickness Of at
least 20 feet Tho heat is now almost UNI
bcarable. The largest eruptive crater has
formed in the "Atrio del Cavallo," tho
saddle between Vesuvius and tho Somma.
The lava flow from this crater has formed
by this time largo lake between tho
Colo del salvatore and the military rifle
range. Next to this new crater two cones
arc forming and steadily rising. They
omit immense sheaves of Games, which

A peculiar phenomenon, never before OBJ
served, Is tho whistling sound emitted by
one of the cratcrs resembling u locomo-
tive whistle.
1t seems that the seismic forces are not

has formed on the eastern side of the Hna
