The Fossil Forests of the Yellow
stone are not yet accessible to tourists,
and as little is known about them the
following particulars, given by s. E..
Tillman, may be of interest. The
principal forest lies on the west rim OF
Lamar River Valley of East Fork of
the Yellowstone, opposite the Soda
Butte Greek. Other forests of the
kind are, however, scattered over the
district; for instance, at specimen
ridge, about six miles east of the juno
ton of Lamar and Yellowstone Rivers,
where the fossil trunks occur on the
upper slope of the south wall of the
Lamar valley. The slope, which
makes an angle of 33 degrees to the
horizon, is about 900 feet long and the
petrified trunks are interspersed with
growing frs and pines of the ordinary
species. 1t might be supposed that
fossil trees grew on the slope as the
living trees grow now, but that would
be a mistake. Professor Tillman
shows that they grew on old level land
surfces made by nine successive layers
of volcanic meterial, one above the
other, which, in course of time, built
up the land through which the river
valley has been excsvated. The fossil
trunks struggling up the slope there
fore mark the successive levels of the
old ground.At least nine, and probably
twelve, forests have been destroyed by
successive eruptions and the trees pet
rified. The diameter of the petrified
trunks vary from one to seven feet, and
the rings of annual growth can bo seen
on making a section. One 3 #. 5 in. in
diameter showed 243 rings, not allow
ing for missing rings at the centre and
the bark. Hence about $50 years may |
be taken as an average of the intervals
between the successive eruptions. The
trees were all supported by shallow,
roots, as though the
soil in which they grew was shallow.
Besides the standing trunks, many are
Iying on the ground, some of which
have petrifed as they lay others before
they fell. Only one standing stump
has branches, perhaps because the VOL
,anic mud did not reach high enough
% preserve them from decay. Speci-
mems of rotton wood, perified bark, the
oorings ofinsects, impressions ofleaves
IF conifers, and two kinds of extinct
leciduous trees have been observed in
he petrifactions. The fossil trees are
also found along Soda Butte Greek and
On the left bank of the Yellowstone,
opposite the mouth of a creek with
very sinister name. The height is there
500 feet; but the highest are found
the mouth of Soda Butte
Creek, at ali altitude of $3.50 feet. The
matter consists of conglom-
crate of stones and mud, with occa-
sional beds of lava, and water seems
to have played part in depositing or
rearranging it.-Cassell's Magazine

Tomato Leaves and Curculio.

1t is not wise to give credence to all
the items which are going the rounds
of the press. But the following which
has appeared in New York paper as
an item from Australia, contains a
suggestion which can do no harm and
is worth trying: 1t appears that a
number of trees in a peach orchard
were attacked by curculio, and the
owner placed tomato leaves around
the trunks and branches to protect
them from the sun. Next day, on Wis
iting the orchard, the man was agree
ably surprised to find that the trees
treated with leaves were entirely free
from insects. Acting on this hint
thus obtained, he stepped a quantity
of fresh tomato leaves in water and
sprinkled the liquor over some peach,
rose and orange trees which had not
previously been protected with tomato
leaves. In two days he was gratified
to find that the numerous insects of
all kinds that infested the trees had
totally disappeared. If further ex-
periments confirm this statement, the
discovery will prove most valuable
one to all fruit growers,--Farm, Field

A Changeable Trade.

Pretty deadly pea-shooters are the
types of magazine guns just adopted
for the army and navy. Old soldiers
and sailors of the Rebellion, who were
familiar with the heavy muskets of
those days, with their half-inch bore,
will be astonished to learn that the
United States Army is to be supplied
with rife Of only thirty-one hun
dredths of an inch calibre, and that
the navy, going still further, has Sc
lected calibre of only twenty-three
hundredths of an inch. To use a ia
miliar comparison, the diameter of
the bore of the new navy rifle will be
less than the diameter of an ordinary
lead pencil, and only very little larger
than the calibre of the common little
vest pocket pistol.
1t was the old idea that a military
rifle bullet had to have a good size
and weight to wound or kill effect
lively. But what these modern pro-
jectiles lack in bulk is more than made
up by their extraordinary velocity,
and the bullets being 80 small and
light, the soldiers cartridge box will
hold great many more rounds of
ammunition. Indeed, small caIibres
in magazine rifles are essential, for
such is their rapidity of fire that the
old-fashioned forty rounds would not
feed them for more than a few min
utes of hard fighting. All the mill
tary rifles of the great war-like ma
tions are now small bore arms. The
calibre OF the French Libel is .3l5, of
the Austrian Mannlicher the same, OF
the German Mannlicher .3l1, of the
English Lee-Speed 1903. But no
power has yet gone so far in reducing
the calibre of its fighting weapons as
the .234 of our navy. Other innoya-
tions which will strike veterans as
odd are the use of a nickel-steel alloy |
for the rifle barrels and of nickel |
plated bullets.

The easiest and safest way to pro-
tect field from an early frost is to
form heaps throughout the lots, of old
rubbish, weeds, hay, litter and tar.
These heaps should be ready at all
times. When the frost is apparent,
set them on fire, and dampen the heaps
so that they will smoke. In half an
hour a dense smoke will hang over
the whole field, and no frost will both
er the plants that night. The smudge
of smoke is a perfect protection.
Another sure way to protect the plants
from an early frost is to drench the
garden after dark with water. The
water. The water in the air will pre-
vent the heat Of the soil from escaping
and in this way save the garden.
Where fields are irrigated it is only
necessary to run the water freely into
the bitches, and sometimes the simple
work of stirring the surface soil will
be snfficient.-Am. Cultivator.

gold product of the United States to be
$33, 600 900, about the average of recent

600 900 ounces, of the commercial value
of $50, $50, 900, falling off of $4,000

amount of silver purchased by the gov
ernment during the year was "a, ,129,S27

"The MacKaye Spectatorium" the ordi-
nary theater stage is that of a babe to a

is the Grand Opera House at Paris and
this has n scenic area of 10000 square
feet, while the area of the scenic de-
partment in "The MacKaye Spectacle

Every inch of this stage room is neces-
sary for the proper manipulation of the
immense spectacular features of the

Every one of the scenes used is novel
and covered by patents issued to the
inventor, Mr.. Steele MacKaye. A $780,

is said, by those who have seen it, to
realize results in art. transcending in
beauty and wonder anything that has

A. B. Ford, an independent salmon
Gamer of Yes bay, Alaska, views with
complacency the recent movement on
the part of the Alaskan Gamers to form
a permanent organization. E'There are
few of us yet,'' ne said recently to an
Oregonian reporter. "who stand upon
an independent basis, and we shall per-
haps do better now than before the
trust was formed. l think the trust is
a good thing, inasmuch as it regulates
the seasons pack and keeps the market
from becoming oveIstocked. The capi-
tai of the new concern is said to be
$500, 900. The trust of last year was
simply an experiment, but it proved to
be such success that now they have all
gone into n permanent organization.
You see, the cost of packing will he
greatly reduced because supplies can be
purchased in such large quantities that
the discount will be heavy. Then a
large number of superintendent, pro-
cessers, bookkeepers, etc, can be done
away with. Probably the biggest saw
ing will be in the shutting down of ex-
pensive canneries and Increasing the
output of those that can be run cheaper.
The Alaskan trust will fix the prices of
their salmon, and really control the
market, although their fish is inferior to
the Columbia river product"
