4 Petrified Forest.

Mr.. Lacey OF Iowa. the chairman Of
the house committee on public lands. Is
advocating the project of setting aside
a certain tract OF land in Arizona as a
petrified forest national park This
forest is one of the greatest natural
curiosities on the American continent
and if properly cared for it Will almost
rival in interest the wonders OF the
Yellowstone, the Yosemite and Mount
Rainier reservations. The petrified
park lies a short distance from the
Grand canyon of the Colorado in
Apache county The trees probably
grew beside some inland sea After
falling. the cell structure of the wood
in the tree was entirely replaced by
silica. One of the most remarkable
features Of the park is natural bridge
fOrtyive feet in width which spans
the canyon. Fifty feet of the tree lies
on one side. so it is visible for nearly
100 feet. The wood is handsome when
polished.

How Birds Migrate.

Mr.. h. NJ Loomis. the California Or
nithologist. who has been studying the
question of bird migration on the Pa
cific coast. concludes that those which
he has observed shape their course by
landmarks, and possess no mysterious
superhuman faculty for determining
direction. such as some persons have
imagined that birds are endowed with.
When a fog prevails the birds are be
wildered and lose their way. In brief
Mr.. LoomiS thinks that bird migration
is a habit evolved by education and in
heritance and owing its origin to the
failure OF food in winter.
