An ExtraoF1inary WendR Wog& - ma
eure In Wyoming.
One Of natures strongest frealrB-one
Of the greatest wonders Of the world
is the DEVILS tower. or as the Sioux In
dams cali it, the Mateo tepee, or tho
bears lodge, which stands on the banln
of the Belle Fourche river, in north
eastern county of Wyoming, says tho
Portland Oregonian. The country for
fifty miles around consists of high table,
land, deep canyons and narrow, fertile
valleys-nothing to indicate the posi-
bic existence of any such freak Of nar
ture.
The tower is . gigantic column, .
monster obelisk of lava, which rises to
height of seventeen hundred and
twenty-seven feet, almost twice the
height of the Eiftel tower. At the base
the huge shaft measures three hundred
and twenty-six feet through in one d.
rection. Huge crystals of the volcanic
rock, measuring one to three feet
through, start at the base and run I'M
broken to the top, giving to the column
. peculiar fibrous appearance, even
when viewed from the tablelands forty
miles away.
How did it get there? How was It
made? Once in awhile in the present
age we have heard how portions of tho
bottom of one of the oceans have been
pushed up by volanic forces, and even .
new island added to the charts. Ages
ON ages ago similar volcanic forces
started Jet of lava up from the bot

would say, in the hole it Rad made
This slow cooling Oh, the gradual loss
of its fiery energy, probably lasted for
many long years, and gave time for the
particles TO arrange themselves In the

ishmcnt to-day.

that the Chile outrage has left sore
