NEW LINES SEEN ON MOON
cent Observations Of Great In
terest TO Scientists

A paper by 4. l.. Macdonald. read
before the British Astronomical asso-
clntlon. discusses the appearance OF a
bright border along the dark limb of
the young moon. According TO Mr
Macdonald this luminosity. which IS
not visible In all lunations. has u more
or less llnelike appearance. and is de
cldedly brighter than the ordinary
earthshIne. which always illuminates
the darker part OF the young moon.
The bright border varies In length. not
always extending as far as the horns
Of the lunar crescent and certain
nearly circular swclllngs of intensl
fed brightness have been noted. In
general the border IL most sharply de.
fined when the moon Is 2ls days old,
and II begins to become dlifuse the
third day OF the lunation. BY the sew
enth day II Is barely distingulshable.
Commenting ON these observations.
Mr. Harold Thomson stated that he
had observed the bright border with
the naked eye. but II disappeared In

That young growth In the woods.
known popularity as brush" is some
thing to be rid of. is a prevalent but
mistaken conception since a forest
cannot maintain itself long without re-
production. For the sake Of getting a
scattering of green grass in the spring
1t is the short.sighted practice In hun
dreds Of localities to fire the woods
regularly. This results in killing thou
sands of small trees needed to con
tinue the forest In the future, and also
Injuries a large amount OF marketable
timber. Furthermore such burning de
stroys large amount OF rich vegetable
fertilizer.
Cattle and hogs in hardwood stands.
and hogs in long-leaf pines, keep the
forest from being restocked. Damage
from insects can be reduced by cutting
timber at the proper time OF year and
by utilizing lightning-killed trees with
out delay. since they harbor destruc.
tive pests. Cattle destroy the produc-
tive leaf mulch which keep the trees
growing during long. dry spells. All
large openings where light comes
through into the forest should be allied
with younger trees.
