Superintendent w. G. Hart, of the north
ern division of the Colorado Worlds fair
mineral department, is back in the city,
having returned from a trip to the north
western part of the state. During his abb
sence Mr.. Hart made Investigations lead
ing to one of the most remarkable geological
discoveries ever known in the west. Vast
fish beds, covering hundreds of square
miles in northwestern Colorado, are
brought to light and cannot fail to awaken
a great interest in scientific circles. The
beds, so far as traced by Mr.. Hart, extend
distance of $50 miles in the region of the
Green river country and were traced to
points more than 100 miles toward the in
terror of the state. Scientists have known
of the existence of primeval deposits of fish
in Wyoming, but for the first time a dis
covery of similar character is reported in
this state. The beds are $50 to 200 feet
thick. To the ordinary observer their or
igin would remain forever mystery.
How untold millions of fish could be piled
in distinct layers over a large area of coun-
try which is now 5000 to 10000 feet above
sea level is problem which Night stagger
the most profound geologiSt. After care
full investigation Mr.. Hart has arrived at a
theory which at least appears plausible.
According to his theory, there was Il time
when the region of the fish deposits formed
the shore of a salt water ocean. AS the
tides swept the waters against the rocky
shores, marshes were formed on the oppo-
site side of the rocky barrier The tides
surged against the barrier with such force
as to throw the fish into Uhe shallow waters.
Owing to the heated temperature of the
air, the water in the marshes evaporated
before the tide again returned, leaving the
fish to expire in the mud.
The next flow brought new supply Of
fish, and after many centuries the beds OF
today were formed. The deposit of each
return of the tide is distinctly marked in
the cliffs and on the sides of the canyons
of the mountain streams. The deposit was
raised to its present elevation by the same
hidden forces which formed the mountains

and his words still furnish the best possible
rule in matters OF dress. "Well-dressed

ness with richness, and are at the same time
in accordance with the prevailing fashion.
The styles adopted in the Partisan Fashion
Journals. published by A. Mcdowell d Co.,
West 18th street, New York, are always
neat. rich and correct. II il because of this
fact that these publications have become so
popular that they continue TO make such
rapid headway in the favor of American
women. LA Mode de Paris" contains the
latest and best French styles. "Album des
Mods" gives the styles which are most popu-

A suitable furnace is provided for each
