NOCTURNAL BASEBALL
SCHEME GETS TRIAL
Garry Hermann Will Test Light
ing System for Night Games
at Cincinnati Park.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Aug. 2O.-Base-
ball at night is the latest project to
be taken up by Garry Hermann. chair
man Of the national commission and
president OF the Cincinnati club
To develop the idea and try out the
proposition a company with $4,000

day by Hermann and several associates.
The idea was suggested by George p.
Cahill, a Philadelphia inventor.
Cahil has devised a lighting system
which he believes viii food a bah park

it possible for games TO be played at

AMATEURS MEETING
TOMORROW EVENING
Captain Edwards Issues Call

Capt c. z. Edwards, president of the

a meeting Of the presidents of the
amateur baseball leagues of Washing
ton to be held tomorrow night in room
u. Center Market ArmOry. 10 discuss
plans for holding the post-sesson cham
pionship series.
Trinity, OF the Marquette League, won
the post-seasOn District pennaHt last
year, and as he is president of the
champion league Captain Edwards oe-
cided 20 call a meeting in order to start
things moving. He said this morning
that 1t had been a case of everybody
holding back waiting for somebody else
to act, and that was the only reason
he decided 10 take the initiative.
In several leagues the pennant race
has been so close that picking the win
ner was mere guess work. which caused
the hesitancy about getting together,
for it was felt that the manager Of the
leagues own champion team should be
at the conferences 10 arrang details
for the big series. Captain Edwards
said he wei understood this feeling, but
thought that the league presidents
should assemble and outline the general
plan OF campaign as soon as possible,
for there has always been a large
amount OF work connected with the
enterprise.

One OF the most important matters
Tor the league presidents 10 decide is
what leagues are TO take part in the

are represented and all play three games

enough To complete such a schedule,
but several OF the new organizations,
such as the Commercial League, are
msistent upon having a hand IN the

by Captain Edwards for tomorrow night
is by uo means zoo early for the dis
cussion OF such important matters.

GARDENING As AN ART.

The ordinary idea of the garden is a
few feet of ground in which is raised
n more or less scraggly assortment Of
cabbages, onions, tomatoes and other
things that the dealers try to initiate
and put into cans AS a matter of
fact, the real garden Is much more
extensive institution 1t includes not
only vegetables, but fruits and flowers.
1t is yet wider The noblest aspect of
gardening is that which concerns the
identifying of the landscape. Unfor-
tunately this highest branch of the sub
ject is not much known in America as
yet The time has come. however,
when it is to be known and when 1T Is
to reach in this land Of magnificent
natural scenery development worthy
Of the country
In England, Germany, France and
other nations OF Europe and even Of
Asia landscape gardening has attain
ed high state of perfection. Many
Of the charms Of these countries have
been artifcially produced. Yet the
work has been so skillfully done that
the miracle of beauty and Of harmon[
Gus effect seems to have been made By
nature
This branch Of gardening, also that
relative to shrubs and flowers. parks
and lawns, is known as the garden
beautiful" That which concerns the
growing of vegetables and fruits is
''the garden bountiful" The two may
be made to overlap and supplement
each other The vegetable garden. the
orchard the grape arbor and even the
berry patches may all be given

Some houses. like some mems faces,
are improved by being concealed In
the case of the male lineaments
bunch of whiskers does the trick; but,
when IT comes to the house, shrub
berry or vines must be resorted to.
And. by the way, it is a mighty good
house that is not improved by an ar
tistic arrangement of vines. Honey
suckle, climbing roses. Crimson Ram
bier and even the quick growing and
old reliable morning glory make an
ugly house beautiful and beautiful
house more charming still.
Plant vines and give them something
to lead them upward in the way they
should go, and Nature will do the rest.
With most beginners in gardening poor
old Nature has to do the most OF the
work anyway. If she were as lazy as
most men, there would be mighty little
vegetation in the world.
An old house that never was pretty
and has not improved with age may
be made as coy and inviting looking
as the most up to date and charming
bungalow, and that simply by the 1u-
dicious placing of a few shrubs and
vines. People might save money from
carpenters, contractors and architects
by investing in a few garden BOOKS
and seeds. After all. Nature is the
best builder and decorator of us all.
AS grass covers the wounds in the
face of earth, so vines hide architec-
tural defects Some houses that seem
utterly out of place when bare are
made to fit" the landscape like a
glove by the magic of honeysuckles and
climbing roses A few shrubs taste

MAMMOTH CAVE.
Il Furnished the SaItpeter For the
War of 1912.

War of 1912.
There is an interesting bit of history
connected with the cave. Few Ameri-
cans are aware that it helped to save
the country in the war of 1912 by fur
nishing saltpeter for the manufacture
of gunpowder, but such is the case.
The powder used by Old Hickory in
whipping the British so handsomely at
New Orleans in 1915 is said to have
been made with saltpeter from Mann
moth cave. AS early as 1900 a Mr..
Fowler obtained, it is said. 100000
pounds of inter from the twenty eight
limestone caverns that had then been
discovered in Kentucky.
In 1906 Dr. Samuel Brown Of Lex
ington rode a thousand miles on horse
back to Philadelphia to lay before the
American Philosophical society, in ses-
sion there, the facts about the pres
ence of inter in these caverns, saying
that the deposits would be especially
valuable in case of war with any for
eign power. Brown did not mention
Mammoth cave by name at that time,
ton asserts, that it was first discov-
cred by whites in 1909 when a hunter
named Houchins or Hutchins entered
1t in pursuit of a wounded bear Bay
ard Taylor says it was first discovered
in 1902, but does not give his author
ity. The only value set on 1t at first
was for the nitrous earth it contained.
For this a Mr.. Mclean paid $40 for
the cave and 200 acres of land around
its mouth. Mclean sold it to a Mr..
Gatewood; he to Messrs. GRAFT and
aWilkins, who derived a fortune from
the saltpeter made there during the
war of 1912. The embargo cut US of
from any other supply, and the output
of saltpeter from this cave enabled our
manufacturers to make sufficient pow
der to carry on the war.-New York
