The site of the pstrifed forest Of
California is about 1000 feet above
the sea level, and has in the same
trend with the Geysers, Mount St.
Helena, and the thermal springs Of
Calistoga. A resent visitor says that,
geologlcally, it is one vast lava bed,
in which the trees lie as they were
thrown, probably thousand of years
ago, by some convulsion of nature.
The trees are in fragments, many of
which have been converted into speci
ments of jet. Where the heart of
tree had decayed, the cavity is filed
with opal, form of lustrous uncrys-
tallized silica, containing water.
chalcedony, another form of the
silica, but clear and limped, is found
in other cavities. No top has been
petrifed, and only here and there
root.

Tar New HAITIAN Consul Errs.

IHE NEW dAYTIAN CONSUL EEEs.
The scale Of fees which the Haytain
Government proposes, on and after
October !, to exact through its con-
sular agents in this country, on all
shipments hence for Haytian ports
appeared in onr advertising columns on
Thursday. Some ofour exporters in
tend to accompany every payment of
these fees with a protest and notice of
reclamation. We have reason to believe
that our own State Department is not
disposed to regard this exaction as
quite in accordance with the spirit of
the treaty, between tho United States
and Hayti. The shipments from this
port to Hayti are valued at some $4,-
100000 annually 80 that the proposed
one per cent ."fee" would amount TO
$4,000, of which lit is said) only Is
per cent, or $6, 1000, will go to the
consul himself. 1t is understood that
most of the goods shipped hence are on
foreign account, so that the tax, after
all wouldprincipally fall on Haytlaus.
