priugs together much currJb ratVe evidence
derived from optical AMI chemical ltnce
and from the rec rds. The coucnsl m
reached by hun is that the eruption ul hrska-
,Oa was one of the most impOr ant manltesta-
lions of volcanic forces the world has

1.-THE wall, not the lecture. Most earn
estly do we hope never to hear it again.
1t is unlike any other wall in the Zoo.
When the red man walls it is sign of
grief He is sorry that you are so far
away. And as he walls he tries to edge
up little closer And when you dis
cover that when you get clear down to
your inside record you can only hitch
away at the rate of twelve miles an hour,
while the wailing red man is pashfully
edging up an eighteen mile gait, with
plenty of reserve force still left, there is
in the sobbing cadence of his wall q
longing, a weird, fitful yearning, a wild
thrill of pathos with hair on it, that
makes you recklessly willing to trade off
the whole Cour d'Alene country for just
a ten minutes right of way inside the
