Stone forests are in many parts Of the world
A number Of stony trees have been recently
received at the Smithsonian institute from the
west In many cases they are hardened by the
peculiar atmosphere as they stand, and in
others they are buried, the parts being re,
placed by mineral matter. The Little ColOra-
do river in Arizona has long been famous To-
cality for such finds At one place more thar
found by government surveyors. Most OF
them were siliciied Many are feet
or more in diameter, and from 20 to 20 feet
in height Tho greater part of them
have probably been covered in the mari
that originally was 1000 feet thick.
Some Of the trees are changed to jasper, as
Stunning numerous hues, while others resemble
opal, and, when broken open, the core is often
found lined with crystals of the most beau
tiful tints. Louisiana and Ohio are noted
localities for fossil trees In the former state,
several years ago, in turning up the ground
an ancient forest layer was unearthed, and in
succession two others below it; and scientists
Judge, from the size Of the trees, that from
the time of the first layer to the last &C, 600
years must have elapsed. In the remains OF
the glacial drift in Ohio old forests are often
discovered Some have been buried beneath
the water by the sinking of the land. Some CT
the Ohio trees are not entirely changed into
stone being yet soft, while others are found
in all stages from rock to porous sponge
matter.

A Squirrels Fight for Life.

A story so strange that it seems
almost incredible comes from the
geological Garden, but it is never
theless true, and recital of the
facts will give all greater respect
for the weaker animals, whose pluck
and neutrality-suspicious. it may be
called intelligence-triumph over the
strength of their deadly foes. One
afternoon a little squirrel killed a
rattlesnake about to devour it, and
the aggressor became the victim.
1t is customary to place live animals,
such as the rabbit, the rodent or the
squirrel, in the dens of the Shiny
repugnant reptiles who tempted Our
first parent. The snakes, when they
are hungry, with fearful deliberate n
approach their terrified prey and re-
lentlessly devour it. The squirrel
which battled SO bravcly for his life,
and won, crouched tremblingly in a
corner of the snakes abode, and
seemed to understand that it would
soon he food for the disgusting crea-
ture whose fierce, cold eyes began to
glitter in anticipation of the promis-
ed feast. Slowly but surely the
rattlesnakc crawled toward the
squirrel, but the bunne quickly
jumped ON a perch above the deadly
reptiles head. The long, fiat head
was raised upon the perch, and the
forked tongue spat forth its venom.
But the squirrel, with sudden
spring, alighted on the back of the
snake and bit off one of his rattles.
The wounded reptile wheeled quick
ly around and struck the little hero
a fearful blow, breaking the right
hind leg. Brave little fellow, once
more he leaped beyond the reach of
his maddened foe. Another spring,
and the squirrel was triumphant. He
caught the snake behind the head,
and with one firm thrust of his
sharp, white teeth, he dccapitatcd
the Shiny monster and fell exhausted
by the wriggling mass; but the bat
tie had been won and the snake was
dead.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE ID, 1882.
A New Ark.

A few miles below Ohio, Alabama,
there is an old negro named Noses,
who claims he had a revelation from
the Lord, in which he received in
formation that the world would again
be destroyed by water. He was so
convinced that the destruction would
be by water, that he at once began
the work of building an ark. He has
been thus engaged for several
months, and the result Of his labors
may be easily seen from the river.
This ark is very unlike the represen.
tations of the one built by Father
Noah, and would doubtless notwith-
stand any severe gales, such rs
might be expected in a cruise of
forty days and nights. This oddly
constructed vessel or house is placed
on high hill, ready for the rising
water. 1t is composed of several
apartments, about five feet wide and
ten feet long, which are placed OH
top of each other. Each has small
portico, and spires with feathers as
ornaments. Approaching the dwell
ing of the negro, one has to pass
through a very deliberately decorated
arbor, over the entrance of which
are the words: Welcome, Peace,
Rest and Happiness"

ADJOURNMENT
Prospects for n Long Session.

Special DaSpdtch 10 Ne hegSteT.
WASHINGTON, June 26,-The action OF the
Senate to-day, with reference to the ad.
journment resolution passed by the House
on Saturday, served notice on the latter
that the Senate is not going to be pushed
into an adjournment, and that it intends to
take all the time desired for the considera-
ton of the appropriations and other i'm
portant measures. The speeches made by
several members of the Appropriation
Committee indicated that the committee
did not intend to sit at nights to work on
the bills in order to reach an early adjourn
ment. 1t would not be surprising if the
present session of Congress was prolonged
until the lst of August; certainly until
July 26th.
Mr.. Hiscock, of New York, from the Com
mittee on Appropriations, to-day submitted
the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill, which
appropriates about twenty-three millions
of dollars.
Mr.. Kelly Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, made strong endeavor to get
further consideration of his Internal
Revenue bill in the House to-day, but the
Committee on the District Of Columbia,
which had the day by special assignment
refused to give way.

Charles ]. Guiteau, who will, as l believe
be hanged on Friday next. Pray that his,
Guiteau's, mind maybe spiritually and
truly illumed, and that God may have
mercy upon him."
The doctor added that he desired here
and now to enter his solemn and earnest
protest against the blood-thirsty, vindic-
tive, tiendish spirit that seemed to have
taken possession of so large portion OF the
people of the country. He denounced this
almost national clamor for Guiteau's blood
as being not only unchristian, but heathen-
ish and inhuman. 1t is murder under the
cover of protection OF law"
