THE BALL SEASON

Gives Promise of Some Fine Playing When
the Boys Become More Accustomed. Aber.

The base ball season on Grays Harbor
was ushered in yesterday by listless
and lingering and not altogether feature
less game between the Champions of
this city and their most ambitious op.
ponents- Hoquiam. The backward and
bashful spring had had some effect upon
the practice of the players and the
usual amount Of ginger that is necessary
to excite the fans to tie stage of forget.
funess OF all other troubles did not ar
rive in time for the opening game. About
500 people saw the Aberdeen aggregation
show their superiority over the Hoquiam
htters to the time OF 13 to 2. The game
for the first three innings was very good
but the final result was settled in the
fourth when three scores were marked
on the Aberdeen side of the board and
three more in the fifth.
HEX Belt was in the box for the locals
but was too much Of japanese puzzle
for willow wlelders of the opponents and

promising youngster was put in to pitch.
Hansen had little touch OF stage fright
and failed to locate the plate until he
had walked three men and flied the
bases, but with the assistance of Brown,
the brairy backstop. he caught sight Of
the rubber and made the next three look

several of the team a place in TIE 800

OF the features Of the big show and
handled the high ones in that direction
in National League manner, as did

HHE Japanese are not only dill
gent students Of the science
which is taught in universities
of the Western world. They are care
full investigators on their own account,
and their scientific men are in close
touch with all scientists everywhere.
Five or six years ago two Of their noted
botanists, Keno and Hirase, announced
a discovery in reference to one of their
favorite trees, which was a subject of
interest throughout the scientific
world. The tree was the one known by
the peculiar name of ginkgo. 1t is a
graceful shade tree, with leaves of an
odd shape resembling the fronds of the
maidenhair fern. 1t is becoming pret-
ty well known in the United States,
where 1t seems to thrive and to retain
its native features. 1t is a cone-bear-
ing tree, belonging to the yew subor-
lder of the coniferal; and no one ap-
pears to have considered it in any way
remarkable from a scientific stand
point until the announcement of the
discovery mentioned above.
The entire scientific world of Eu-
rope and America, within recent dec
AIDES, has accepted of the general
theory of evolution. The descent of
man from the loWer-even the lowest
forms of primeval life upon this
planet is everywhere taught without
question. Not only man, but all the
inferior animals of the modern world
are believed to have descended-or as
cended-from the simplest beginnings
of life in the early geological ages.
An eminent scientist has pointed out
that this belief should enlarge our
sympathies far beyond the bounds of
the human family; that we should see
kindred in the animal world about us,
and remember our relationship to all
that lives when we are tempted to be
cruel to brutes, or even impatient with
them.
A hint Of this feeling is expressed in
Burns address to the field mouse, of
which he had destroyed the nest with
his plow:
I'm truly sorry mans dominion
Has broken natures social union,
And justifies that Ill opinion
Which makes thee startle
AT me. thy poor earth-born companion
And fellow mortal
A suggestion of it is found also in
Bayard Taylor's account of the wolf
with which he slept in cave of refuge
in the night OF danger and storm:
His wet fur pressed against me:
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-05-22

Each of US warmed the other;

That beast and man was brother"
Yet it is not supposed that either
Burns or Taylor even suspected that
the animals which they affectionately
termed earth born companion" "fel-
low-mortal' and brother were really
related to them by blood, as parts Of
one universal family descended from
common ancestry. If the animal world
Of today has descended and differen-
tiated from simple original type, no
less has the vegetable world. In the
succession of geological ages different
types of life evolved. Many Of these
have passed away. The gigantic ferns
of the carboniferous age have disap-
peared, as have the ichtlyasaur and the
pterodactyl. The ferns which remain
have been for ages a most interesting
study. Never until the year 1S48, fifty
six years ago, was anyone able to tell
how they were reproduced. Did any
one ever see fern seed? In the year

MOUNT CHARLES, County Done
gal, Ireland, May 10.-A comical incl
dent happened the other day on board
the Cunarder, which bore from Queens
town to New York the eighty or ninety
young men and women who went to
represent Ireland at the st. Louis ex-
hibition. A few nights after leaving
Queenstown the usual concert was
held, the chair being taken by T. w.
RolleSton, Irish ex-revolutionary and
present holder of q position under Sir
Horace Plunkett's department of agri-
culture. The York Street band of the
Dublin Workmens club lent it's services
to the concert, and as the entertain
ment was about to conclude, Mr.. Rol-
lesion announced that 1.-The band of
the Dublin Workmen's club would now
play God Save the King" Much to
the modification of Mr.. Rolleston, and
the horror of the kings good, loyal
English and Scotch subjects present,
the leader of the band promptly re-
piled: Faith, and the band of the
Dublin Workmens club will now do
nothing of the sort. The band of the
Dublin Workmen's club" the leader
added, will now retire" And the band
retired. Mr.. Rolleston, reformed revo-
lutionist, wanted the boat to sink, but
the boat did not. These boats are very
wooden things.
The Persico Manning Letters.
Something of a sensation has been
created by the publication of the Per-
sico- Manning letters. In the troublous
days of the Land league, at the time of
the issue Of Parnelrs mo rent mani
feSto," the late pope, nagged by secret
ambassadors from England, sent
Mgr. Persico to Ireland to find out
the true state of affairs there. The
Roman Catholic hierarchy viewed the
coming of PerSico with suspicion. They
thought that he came to prove the case
of England. The suspicion, not merely
of the hierarchy, but the people of Ire
land, after a short time grew to belief,
and the belief was to them a certainty
when, after Mgr. Persico had pur-
sued his Investigations for some time in
Ireland, the pope issued the famous re-
script against the plan of campaign,
declaring 1t immoral and calling upon
the bishops to denounce- it forthwith.
Mgr. Persico was then the most
abused man in Ireland 1t is true
the bishops, with a single excep-
ton, ignored the rescript, and the peo-
pie, knowing well that it was a cues
tion of politics. not morality, said: '.Our
religion from Rome, but our politics
from home" and pursued their plan of
campaign as quietly as circumstances
and the government would permit. 1t
is. safe to say that poor Persico got
more bad prayers than good then.
Now at length the memory of Per-
sico is cleared. The United Irishman,
OF Dublin (the most vigorous paper,
ana far and away the best, if the
youngest, paper in Ireland) has unA
earthed the correspondence, which,
when Persleo was in Ireland, passed
between him and Cardinal Manning

any man who suffered Imprisonment
with hard labor. A beneficent coercion
act was passed about the same time to
meet the requirements of this clause in
the local government act, and under
this coercion act a number of honored
and respected men were, for purely po-
litical offenses-offenses created by act
of parliament-committed to prison
with hard labor, thus depriving them
of the right Of being elected district
councillors and county councillors. Just
now, when King Edward was supposed
to have been dropping olive branches
over Ireland, the Irish party intro
duced a bill to amend the local gov
ernment act by removing from politi-
cal Offenders the prohibition and the
stigma which has been placed on them.
The bill was by the Tory members Of
parliament kicked out ""The forgive
and forget" policy that our English
friends, when hard pressed, are wont
to preach seems to be run upon the
plan of "You do the forgiving; we will
keep you busy-and arrange to do the
forgetting, moreover" The bad, bold
Irishman who refused to accept the
era of peace inaugurated upon this
plan is worthy-to quote the words of
an irate Irish judge who some years
ago was laundering denunciations
against political offender-is worthy
ito suffer death to its fullest extent"
The Forests Are Gone.
At not very remote period Ireland
was the Island of Woods and Waters.
We have the waters with us still
both under foot and overhead-but the
woods have all gone up in smoke. We
have great areas of bog, moor and
mountain lying waste, and seemingly
barren, where at one time immense,
great and beautiful forests f1ourished
And there is no reason why great and
beautiful and profitable forests should
not flourish here again. The PROPOSE
tion of the reforesting of Ireland has
been brought up spasmodically
throughout the past sixty years, but
nothing definite done. Amonst other
practical and most useful projects
which the United Irishman has per-
Sistently advocated and at length seen
accomplished, was this reforesting
scheme, which now the department of
agriculture has approved of and given
practical shape to by consenting to the
establishing of school OF forestry at
Avondale, County Wicklow. Half a
century hence, we may hope that the
waving woods Of Ireland will again
add to our country, the beauty of
which 1t has been for some centuries
deprived, and the tall tossing heads of
the proud pines and the waving arms
of the great oaks which at one time
the proofs lie embedded in her bogs-
used to please the eye and delight the
heart of the traveller, may, please God,
toss and wave once more, beckoning
our wide-wandered exiles home again
from many far, strange shore.

The sperm cells, under the micro
scope, proved to be well defined sper-
matozoids. The pollination takes place
as in other one-bearing trees, to- the
ordinary observer. But it was found
that, instead Of mere sperm cells pass
ing down through the tube to the egg,
actual spermatozoids were formed -
living, moving, active little fellows,
that swim down the tube until they
find the egg, and there take up their
abode to develop into new tree.
The discovery was confirmed by
Webster, the American botanist, and
by others. and is a most interesting

for which the Japanese should receive
full credit. Scientists entertain no ap-
