When Nihilist, after a rather long
absence, suddenly reaches some city
without previously comforting with those
who have been there recently, mis- posi-
ton is very singular one. Although
he may know he is in the midst of
friends and old companions in arms, he
is absolutely incapable of finding any of
them. Being illegal" people or outlaws.
they live with false passports, and are
frequently compelled to change their
names and their places of abode. To in
quire for them under their old names is
not to be thought of, for these continu-
Gus changes are not made for mele
amusement, but from the necessity, con-
stantly recurring, of escaping from some
imminent danger, more or less grave.
To go to the old residence of Nihillst
and ask for him under .his old name
would be voluntarily putting ones head
into the lions mouth. Under such cir
cumstances Nihilist is put 10 no end of
trouble, aud has to wander hither and
thither in order to find his friends. He
applies to old acquaintance among peO-
pie who are illegal" and peacefll-that is
to say, officials, business men, barristers,
doctors, ETC., who form an intermediate
class, unconsciously connecting the most
active Nihilist with those who take the
least interest in public affairs. In this
class there are people ofall ranks. Some
secretly aid the Nihilists more or less
theoretically.
Others receive them into their houses,
simply as friends, without having any
serious" business with them. Others,
again, see them only casually. but know
from whom more or less accurate in
formation is to be obtained, and so on.
All these people, beingunconnected with
the movement, or almost so, run little
risk of being arrested, and living as they
do "legally"-that is to say, under their
own names-they are easy to be found,
and supply the Ariadne's thread which
enables any one to penetrate into the
Nihilist labyrinth who has not had time
or who has been unable, to obtain the
addresses of the affiliated. Stepniak, in

Petrilied Wood.

The petrified wood which is so abund-
ant in the United States territories of
Arizona, Wyoming and Rocky mountain
region is rapidly beco ming utilized by
the practical American. In San Francis
CO there is now a factory for cutting and
polishing these petrifactionsinto mantel-
pieces, tiles, tablets, and other architec-
tural parts, for which marble and slate
is commonly used. Petrified wood is
said to be susceptible of finer polish
than marble, or even onyx, the latter of
which it is driving from the market.
The raw myterial employed comes most
ly from the forests of petrified wood
along the line OF the Atlantic and Pacific
railway. Several other companies have
also been formed to obtain concession of
different portions of these forests. &C.
ologists will regret the destruction of
such interesting primeval remains, and
so steps ought to be taken to preserve
certain tracts in their original state.
