Petrifed Forest in Nevada.

From David Rideout, who has beer
engaged in preparing section Of !
petrified tree for the Centennial Exhi
bition, we learn the following relative
to the petrifed forest in the desert o.
Northwestern Humboldt: On the plain,
about thirty miles west of the Black
rock range Of mountains, stands one ol
the greatest natural curiosities ever dis.
covered in Nevada It is petIifed
forest, in which the stumps of many ol
the trees, now changed into solid rock,
are still standing. There are no living
trees or vegetation Of any kind other
than stuuted sage-brush in the vicinity.
Some of those ancient giants Of forest
which dourished perhaps thousands Of
years ago. when the climate of Nevada
was undoubtedly more favorable for the
growth Of luxuriant vegetation than at
present. rival in size the big trees Of
California Stumps transformed into
solid rock stand in an upright position
with their roots imbeded in the soil as
when growing. measuring from fifteen
to twenty-six feet in circumference the
ground in the vicinity is strewn with
trunks and limbs. which retain their
natural shape and size. Mr.. Rideout,
determining to secure a section of one
of these trees for the Centennial Exhi i
bition, with two other men spent twelve
days in cutting it from the stump. This
was accomplished by drilling all around
the tree and separating it with wedges

ready to be loaded on wagon. Mr..
Rideout does not feel able to incur the
expense of bringing it by team to the
railroad, although he had once made
arrangements to do so He is anxious
to call the attention of the Centennial
Commissioners to the matter. and see
If they will not furnish the means to
get it to the railroad. The country in
which it is situated is an inviting field

by Col. Bomtord. In 1918, Francis C.
Lowell invented numerous important
| improvements in the power loom, nota-
bly, the stop motion for winding on the
beams for dressing. and the double
speeder to regulate the movements Of
the fly frame in filing the spools. The
first important American improvement
in printing presses appeared in 1877.
and was the Columbian press, invented
by George Clymer. of Philadelphia
The power was applied to the platform
by compound lever consisting Of three
simple levers of the second order. The
first transatlantic voyage made by a
steam vessel was accomplished by the
Savannah, in 1919. The vessel was Of
$50 tons burden, and was driven by
paddles. In the year last mentioned.
Jacob Perkins invented engraving on
steel as substitute for copper.
During the period from 1900 to 1922,
Just reviewed, the commerce of the
country passed through season Of
terrible stagnation, owning to the orders
in council Of England and Napoleon's
Berlin aud Milan DEGREES In 1903,
imports fell off to $50. 900. 900 and ex.
ports to $22 43O,59O This decline
continued to 1914, when an extraordi-
nary impulse was given to trade. and
imports went up to amounts excessive
of the wants of the country. Subse-
quenly, the average Of imports and
exports remained uniform at about
S78, ,O0O,0 From 1900 to 1910,
only 1 .0S6 patents were allowed; and
from 1900 to 1920, 1,748. The popu-
lation of the country had. however, in-
creased to $685. .1S1, and with it the
number and extent of manufacturing
industries augmented. thus providing
for the season Of renewed prosperity
which followed.
The rapid growth Of the country in
population, wealth, and culture since
the year 1920 is now just cause for
pride and congratulation; and in our
next issues we shall note the prominent
incidents in this interesting and impor-
tant era. Scientific 44n,ericsu.

LlncOln's Assassination. A

An interesting incident, which
foreshadowed the tragic fate of Presi-
dent Lincoln, but which has never
before found It's way into print, is
vouched for by number of persons,
still in Washington, and w.o were
witnesses of it. On the day when
Mr.. Lincoln was inaugurated the
second time, in 1865, and just as he
had passed from the rotunda Of the
Capitol to tho platform at the east
portico, where his inaugural was to be
delivered, man who was recognized
by several persons to be John Wikes
Booth, pushed hurr'edly through the
passage leading from the Senate
Chamber to the retunda, and in an
excited and determined manner broke
through the line of policemen which
kept the crowd back from the process
sion, and made a desperate effort to
reach the eastern door of the Capitol.
He was discovered by member of
the Capitol Police--Mr J. w West
fall of New York-who on several oc-
casions before, as we'll as since, has
given evidence of his faithfulness and
efficiency, He seized the excited
stranger, and, after a severe struggle,
during which Major B. B. French.
then Commissioner Of Public Build
ings, at the suggestion of Mr.. West
fall, caused the door to be closed and
aid to be furnished, succeeded in fore
ing him back into the crowd. Booth
had already been noticed by at least
two persons who knew him passing
rapidly from the direction of the SEN
ate Chamber toward the rotunda, and
some idea of his determination to
reach the inaugural pla torn may be
formed from the fact that he broke
away from the man who first seized
him. Mr.. Westfall, and but for the
closing of the door. would probably
have accomplished his purpose, what
ever it was
Those who stopped Booth on that
day, and who in all probability pre-
served the Presidents life, were no
aware who the excited stranger was,
but the importance of their action
can hardly be overestimated 1t will
be remembered that at that time the
great work of Mr. Lincoln's life had
nos been accomplished The war
was still going on. By this act ot
MIR Westfall's, the Presidents life
was probably spared for a time, at
least, and he was permitted to see the
dawn of peace. After the assassina-
tion of the President, and when it be-
came known that Wilkes Booths at
tempt to reach the inaug ural platform
had been thwarted by Mr. Westfall,
the latter was promptly promoted to
be a Lieutenant Of the Capitol police
force, position which was created for
him by the Hon. B B. French, then
Commissioner oil Public Buildings and
Grounds, and a devoted friend of Mr..
Lincoln, as a mark of his appreciation
of the great service which Mr.. West
fall had rendered the country. This
postum he held until the meeting of
the XLlVth Congress, since which
time he has been discharged.

Senator Morton.

WASHINGTON, May At was :
strange scene which the Senate wit.
messed yesterday when the War Gov.
ernor of Indiana rose to answer as te
his manner of helping carry on the
war tor the Union, both in the field
and against the Sons of Liberty al
Home, and stranger still that this an
swer was called out by Springer, a
former member of this order The
spectacle Of the Sons of Liberty in
vestigating the conduct Of the War is
now on exhibition at the National
Capitol. The grossness of this attack
on Governor Morton has been the
source of great disgust and annoyance
among many Democrats, and all re.
cognizs in it a most serious blunder.
The full sympathy of every Union
man and every fair man has been ex.
tended to Gov. Morton.
This explanation was not needed,
except to complete the record again st
those who assailed him. There was a
general and hearty indignation, how
ever. over the fact that man who
had contributed so much to suppress
the Rebellion, and did it honestly, as
everybody knows, should be thus ar
raigned by men who, though despe-
rately disloyal, had not the courage to
fight for their belief. Few men in
Washington have ever been so cor
daily congratulated over the manner
in which they have met attacks of this
fort as has Gov. Morton to-day and
tonight.
Senator Anthony followed with the
first pronounced utterance on the floor
of either House in denunciat;on of the
methods pursued by the Democratic
committees. The universal response
to his words showed plainly how keen
ly the gross unfairness of these invcs-
LEGATIONS has taken hold of all classes
here, and how great the disgrace is
deemed to be which they have brought
upon the majority which controls
them.

A DEFENCE OF LARGE FEET.-A

Of beauty. In the first place, this is
lot true. No lady whoi of average
height and weighs $50 ought to wear
smaller shoe than No. B. A
smaller foot than that-at any rate a
shorter toot-becomes personal blem-
ish. Moreover, all this talk is demon

waist of the period" is pore natural

about the necessity of having micro

a couple of preserve bottles vita mar

fruit jelly as filled them within three
inches OF the top. The bottles were
then covered with bladder and set in
a place frequented by rats. Next
morning the covering of each bottle
had small hole gnawed in it, and the
level of the jelly was lowered to an
extent about equal to the length of a
rats tail if inserted in the hole. The
next~experiment was still more deci-
sive. The bottles were reGlled to the
extent of half an inch above the level
left by the rats, disk of moist paper
laid upon the surface, and the bottles
covered as before. The bottles were
row laid aside in place unfrequent-
ed by rats, until good crop of mould
had grown upon one of the moist disks
