Trees on Mountain Top.
From the Pueblo Chieftain

A very interesting experiment and one of
great Importance to the people OF the west
will be conducted this summer on Pike s
Peak. A party from the United States for
estry bureau. under charge of one Of the
government experts. will plant a large
number of trees on the slopes of Pike
Peak and the neighboring mountains. The
trees thus planted will not only be of great
benefit to the Pixies Peak region. but the
experiments will be most valuable in solv-
ing general problems relating to forestry in
the west
There are several important reasons why
the selection of the Pixies Peak group for
this experiment Is a wise one. 1t Is a de-
tached mountain mass separated from the
main ranges. 1t is included within the
limits of a forest reserve and therefore sub
ject TO government control. 1t Is drained
by few streams and the con parative meas
urements of it's water discharge are there
fore the more easily made. 1t Is more easily
accessible in all parts than other high
mountain regions of the state. 1t is one
that prevents the most important problems
of western forestry in a compact and def
mite form. And finally there is possibly no
other high watershed in the state where
direct financial benefit than in this one In
the opinion of those who have examined
the Pixies Peak region the forest area was
formerly much more extensive than 1t now
is, and while in some instances the removal
of the trees has resulted In conditions I'M
favorable for forest growth, such, as the
carrying away of SOIL leaving only the bare
rocks, yet there remains plenty of oppor-
tunity for reforestation.

the battalion of midshipmen of the fourth
class is divided have practice drills in sea-
manship on the training ship Chesapeake
at the Naval Academy. The first and third
divisions drill on Monday. Wednesday and
Friday and the second and fourth divisions
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The
drill is a novel experience to the youngsters,
many of whom have never been on ship
board. and who say they experienced an
uncanny feeling when they climbed the
royal yard 100 feet from deck, for the first
time No accidents have yet occurred in
the present class, that numbers an entire
battalion. and the two doctors, always on
hand at the seamanship drills, have so far
had nothing to do. What is considered a
feat in drilling on the Chesapeake Is for a
midshipman to climb the highest mast to
which is attached a lightning rod and run
the rod through his hat as a proof that he
has made the ascent, and then to make the
descent of from 1875 TO 40 feet by means
OF halyard leading to the main truck, a
difficult and dangerous feat which has been
accomplished by five OF the plebes but
only two of the upper classmen for there

earlier than the latter. When Jupiter
comes up with his great light Saturn seems

earlier than the latter. When Jupiter
comes up with his great light Saturn seems
to fade. All astronomers and students of
the stars await with eagerness their annual
view Of Saturn in the east, when nearest
the earth. They hope that somehow his
mysteries will be partly revealed through
some gigantic change in the fiImy rings that
render him the most wonderful object in
the whole heavens.
1t Is quite apparent that the rings are Of
some mineral substance and without atmos-
phere. The mathematician have shown to
their own satisfaction that the rings must
be of finely divided material or they would
go to pieces from tidal distress When the
rings present only an edge to the observer
the edge seems to be a straight line with a
few knots on one side of the planet. These
knots can be seen with a three-inch tele-
scope when the seeing is good. What is
this material that appears white like the
mountains and crags ON the moon under
sunlight? The late Martin w. Cooke of
this city wrote an article to show that the
rings might be composed Of ice particles,
His argument was ingenious but not con-
vincfng. But 1t Is to be assumed that the
rings are composed of an element that is
abundant in the universe of matter and
that is white or nearly white in its CRYSTAL
form. Sodium Is the element that answers
best. and its combination with chlorine to
form chloride OF sodium or common salt, is
the most common.

There has long been speculation about
the character of the white matter which tha
moon exhibits. There are gray plains bu6
where the surface is broken the matter Isl

be some low forms on one crater floor But
no other observer since the telescope was

vegetation impossible.

their favor. They fit the observed condf.l
