THE PETRIFIED FOREST IN NEVADA
From David RideOut, who mas been engaged
IN preparing a section OF petrified tree for
the centennial exhibition, we learn the fol-
desert OF northwestern Humboldt. On the
plain, about thirty miles west Of the Black
rock range OF mountains, stands one OF the
greatest natural curiositieS ever discovered
10 Nevada. 1t is petrified forest, in which
Inc stumps OF many OF the trees. now
charged into solid rock, are still standing.
There are no living trees or vegetation of any
kind other than stunted sagebrush in the Vi
entity. Some of those ancient giants of a
forest which fourished perhaps thousands of
years ago, when the climate OF Nevada was
undoubtedly more favorable for the growth
of luXuriant vegetation than at present.

Decided in the soil, as when growing, meas
uring from fifteen 10 twenty-six feet in cir
conference; the ground in the vicinity is
strewn with the trunks aud limbs which re-
tain their natural shape and size. Mr.. Ride
out, determined TO secure section of one OF
these trees for the centennial exhibition,
with Two other men spent twelve days in
cutting II from the stump. This was accom-
plished by drilling all around the tree and
separating il with wedges. The specimen IS
three feet high and eighteen feet In circum-
ference. and its estimated weight Is three
tons. 1t stands on the stump from which 10
was severed, ready TO be loaded on a wagon.
Mr.. Rideout does not feel able to incur the
expense OF bringing IL by team 10 the rail-
road, though he had once made arrange
ments TO do so. He is anxious 10 call the at
tenliOn of the centennial commissioners TO
the matter, and see il they will not furnish
the means to get ii TO the railroad. The

matters touching the Intelligent care of
pianos and reed Instruments generally, I'm
