DR.. Stevens Lecture on Comets at

DR.. w. LeConte Stevens of Wash

interesting and instructive lecture
last Friday night at the Virginia
Military Institute on comets in
general and HALEY S comet in partic-
ular. The lecture was illustrated by
numerous stereopticon views,
Halley's comet will be visible from
early in May for more than month.
In order to see the comet to best ad-
vantage favorable conditions are
necessary, said DR.. Stevens. For
insts nee, it's beauties cannot be en-
joyod on cloudy nights, nor on
bright moonlight nights. Clear
nights in the dark of the neon will
afford the best opportunities for OBJ
servation.
In early times, said DR.. Stevens,
people regarded the visitation OF
comets with dread and supersti ton
and there is story that the Pope
issued bill communicating the
comet and calling upon the people
to pray for deliverance from the
comet, the Turk and the devil"

NEW POLICY TO BE ADOPTED IN
HANDLING THE FOREST
RESERVATIONS
LESSENING OF EXPENSE
1T WILL ALSO RESULT IN BETTER
PROTECTION or REMAINING
FORESTS FROM FIRE.

Washngton.-Wes members OF
Congress who have talked with Sec
retary Wilson recently regarding for
estry matters in the West have been
assured by him that a new policy OF
dealing with the western people in the
matter of making land entries within
the national forests is gradually being
adopted and put into effect.
Instead.of retard!ng settlement with
in the forests, the forest service in fu-
ture will encourage 1t. The home
steader within forest boundaries is to
be welcomed and aided, instead of be-
ing treated as an interloper
If it can be shown that the lands
can be cultivated after the removal OF
the timber, the forest service will dis
pose of the timber on tracts where the
growth is not needed to conserve wa
ter supply, and then permit the land to
be homesteaded for farming purposes.
The secretary sees many advantages
in such policy, one being the better
protection of the remaining forests
from fires and another a fessening OF
the expense made necessary by main
tanning numerous ranger stations and
large forces of rangers.
Restrictions concerning the use of
timber for domestic purposes are to
be made less binding and the treat
ment generally of settlers living on or
near forests is to be liberalized.
A similar liberal policy, it is said,
will be put in force as regards pros
pecting and the locating of mineral
deposits in forest reserves.
The fact that over $1,000 farming in
dividuals went into Canada from the
United States inside of eleven months
and settled on the agricultural tracts
there undoubtedly has made an inn
preston.
