transpirings on the Moore Field
Monday afternoon:
With Burchell in perfect form,
with speed, control and curves of
wide range and perfect adjustment;
with what all thought was the
best team vet placed in a game this
season, although Reynolds is still
little crippled in the leg; with
everybody on the jump-it looked
like a 100 to shot for a Berryville
victory.
The visitors from the Eastern
Normal College piled up three runs
in the first, which were earned, and
that was all Of their earned runs.
In the fifth they secured two more
on errors. In the seventh Robey
made a heart-breaking tumble and
then threw the ball land the game)
away, four runs resulting there
from. Moore was at once sent TO
short, but the fat was in the fire,
and the camel's back had cracked
under the last straw. 1t was
another case of locking the stable
after the horse had flown.
The visitors did not tally another
score.
The locals were blanked in the
first; scored one in the second and
one in the sixth. After Robey
was sent to the tall grass in the
seventh, the team behind Burchell
seemed To take ON new life, hope
and energy, and by judicious
and timely swatting, scored three
in the eighth and two in the ninth,
the side being retired with two
men on bases.
Old Boreas sent a swift wind
down The Valley, and its north
west strength cut across tho dia-
mond with icy keenness. Perfect
play on either side was impossible,
but some remarkably fast plays
were made. Old reliable Butch
Young made some pretty plays
and Burcheil made hair raising
stop of n hot liner as it was passing
high over his head labeled with ,
two-base ticket. Jumping in the
air he pulled it down with hi
pitching hand.
Dalton, who started in to pitcl
for Eastern College. retired at tn,
end of the fifth. and was succeeded
by Peterson, little twirler with
good delivery.
1t is especially remarkable tha
Peterson and Dalton each score,
four Strikeouts, while Burchell ha
fourteen to his credit.
1t was game justly belonging
to Berryville, and only for tn
yellow playing of Robey the scor
would have been at least seven +
tive in favor of the home team.

FOREST PLANTING
For Profit on Waste Lands and Water
 Sheds.


 A variety of causes are awakenins an interest In forest planting on lands owned primarily for some other purpose than the use of timber, but capable Of yielding an added revenue from crops of trees. Coal and railroad companies and other large landowners, including water companies, are taking active steps to utilize waste lands in this way The fact that local supplies of railroad ties. nlire timbers, and lumber are striking, coupled with the realization that the needed timber can well be pro- duced on soil now unproductive. has made forcible appeal to the business mind. In Pennsylvania, especially large forest plantations are actually under way.
 There are enormous areas In PennsyI- vania from which the original timber has been cut, and which are too rous n for profitable farming. -n the coal re- gions both the farm lands and the mountainous areas overlying the coal veins are usually held by the operating companies in order that they may ob- tain full rights to the coal under meath. Much of the land overlying the coal is useless for farming at any time, and it has been found that there is little profit to be derived from the agricul- tural land by any system of tenant or company farming. Both these classes of land may be planted to trees with advantage and the timber used in the mines, the old fields on which farming has been attempted being particularly desirable for planting. In the bitum- inous coal fields it is necessary to se- lect the planting sites with great care so as to avoid the sulphur fumes from coke ovens, which are very destructive to vegetation Watersheds owned to prevent further denudation and the con- tamination of streams and reservoirs rarely yield direct returns to water companies, but if properly planted their water-conserving power would be n . creased, and at the same time future revenue would be in prospect. Waste lands in general throughout the State can be improved and made productive wholly or in part by forest planting
 The possibilities of forest planting have been realized by several large companies, which have applied to the Forest Service for assistance. The service has made plans for the H. c. Prick Coke Company and the Keystone Coal and Iron company. in western Pennsylvania. and IS supervising plant ing and the establishment of forest nurseries this spring. The Pennsylva- nia Railroad Company has secured the assistance of the service in working up a forest policy, and, in order to show what can be done on the lands they already own, a nursery is being start ed and planting along the right of way and also on an important watershed near Altoona, Pa. The Johnstown Water Company Is receiving similar assistance In eastern Pennsylvania the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com many has applied for an examination Of

a .36,OOO-acre tract of the Monroe Water Supply Company. In Monroe County and the preliminary examination Is now under way.
 Planting is feasible on both of these lands, the greatest difficulty being to keep out fire. Chestnut. red oak, nick ory' basswood, white. red. and Scotch pine, and European larch are suitable species, the selection depending on the character of the land and the kind of timber desired.
 By the plan of Government co-opera- ton a technical forester can be sent without charge to make preliminary examination of lands on which planting k contemplated. This determines whether planting is advisable, If the preliminary report is favorable, a de- tailed plan for planting and nursery work can be made at a cost to the owner of the actual expenses of the work Supervision can also be pro- yided under special arrangement.
 Detailed information and application blanks for assistance of this kind can be secured by writing to the Forester, U. S. Department of Agriculture. Wash ington, D. c.

The bright star Autares has a green ish companion but slightly more than three seconds away. In a small tele- scope this is lost in the overpowering brightness of the larger star. It is said that this little attendant was first discovered during an occultation of these two stars by the moon. As the moon swept over the pair, the small star was uncovered first and remained visible for an instant before the large star appeared. This phenomenon has been seen since; the green color of the companion in contrast with the stl- very whiteness of the moon Is very striking.
 The stars at o and R are both doub les. Half way between c and P there is a cluster of stars which Herschei described as the richest and most con- densed cluster in the heavens. It Is visible in small telescope. but a large glass is necessary to fully show It's beauty. Forty-four years ago new star blazed out in this cluster.
 The beautiful cluster of the Beehive is in Cancer at T, Fig. 1, and with a good opera glass the observer may de- tect a. far more difficult little cluster at J. But the most beautiful of all the clusters now visible in the one shown at S, Fig. i, in the constellation Her cules. On dark night this is visible to the naked eye. In a small telescope 1t appears to be little cloud but un- der a high magnifying power 1t Is seen to be made up of thousands of stars, packed closely together.
 What inconceivably vast causes have been at work to group these thousands of stars into such compact masses we can only conjecture. The particles of a drop of water are not more surely in mutual dependence than the parts of these clusters. Many of the groups have radiating streams of stars ex- tending out in every direction from the condensed center; 1t has therefore been conjectured that the material of the clusters is slowly streaming away from or toward the center.
 Each of the star clusters Is of in- conceivably great extent. It is only
The Montgomery advertiser., 1906-05-28

when a star is comparatively near to us that we can measure it's distance, and none of the clusters, so far as 1t Is known. come within the limiting dis tance. If we suppose that the cluster In Hercules is only sixty eight years away, we find that the distance through this cluster Is one and one half million miles. Sight occupies but eight minutes in trayersing the ninety three million million milSs which sepa- rate our earth from the sun, but 1t would require ninety-seven days to pass through this enormous group.
 Were the stars of the cluster uni formly distributed throughout its ex- mHestent, they would me seven hun dred times as distant from one another as the earth is from the sun. The little stars which seem to be so packed together as almost to touch one an- other when viewed in the telescope are therefore in reality very remote from one another. So far are they apart that the general light through out the cluster cannot greatly exceed the giant illumination of a starlight night on the earth. It may be of in terest to add that our sun as viewed from the group would be just too giant to be seen except through a telescope. It is probable that the cluster is in reality far more distant than we have supposed it to be. and that all of it's parts are therefore on corresponding ly vaster scale.
 The Planets.
 Jupiter may be seen for a short time after sunset In the northwest, but 1t has now practically disappeared from the evening sky.
 Venus will throughout the month be the brightest star in the heavens. Tn its eastward motion 1t will move entirely across the constellations Gemi- nj and Cancer. passing above the Praesepe on June 24. As 1t mounts higher in the sky 1t will set continual ly at a later and later hour, and in- crease very greatly in brightness. Throughout the entire month 1t will therefore be a very satisfactory object for observation with the telescope.
