The state Of Wyoming IS a geological
wonderland. for. geoiogically speaking,
it is the newest land on the continent
There are very rich fossil deposits in
the state. the remains varying In size
from little invertebrates 10 the giant
dinosaurs. IN the richest portion there
has been established a fossil quarry,
situated IN the extreme southwestern
part Of Wyoming, near the town OF
kemmeser, at tfs summit Of noun
tain $500 feet above the sea level The
geological formation Is known as the
Green River Tertiary" The sha'e
here Is laminated and carboniferous
and some streaks are bilumlnons, car
rying parafln and oil in large quantl-
ties.
The quarry Is worked exclusively by
hand and there are no blasting opera
tions. The shale is split into slabs.
broken with sledge hammers and
thrown over the bank by hand. From
the top Of the quarry TO the floor, a
few feet below, the shale contains fos-
sils. When the slabs containing the
specimens are cut and taken out they
are very moist and are dried out to
about a third Of their original weight
before the cleaning process begins. It
Is difficult to clean the fossils when
the shale is too dry, for 1t requires the
utmost skin and care to clean the more
delicate specimens Knives and saws
made especially Tor the purpose are
used
A hut or cabin Is situated at the foot
OF the mountain. more than mile
from the quarry, and the workmen
bring the slabs to this place to prepare
them. The specimens when they are
properly cleaned are exceedingly beau
-iful, the fishes with all their bones
yutlined being especially interesting.
The Green river fishes are considered
he finest specimens OF fossil fishes.

The assassination of Hoshi Toru. the
chief Of the liberals at Toyks, is now
said to be traceable to the organization
known as "soshi. consisting OF tur-
bulent patriots who have before now
given the Japanese government much
cause for anxiety. In accordance with
the general topsy-turvydom OF the
country, the ssoshi instead Of being
reyolutionaries, as the western world
knows them, are ultra-conservatives,
who have bitterly opposed foreign in
noYations With a logic which has
commended itself to Europeans and
Americans living IN Japan. they have
seldom offered the "tonjlnsan.' as the

which had existed for centuries. and

abolished and perfeetures established
