living trees found in the vicinity of the
fossil forests are pines and spruces and
two kinds of cottonwood
The scientific theory concerning the PEE
trifaction is to the effect that after the
forest of pines and cedars was establish
ed the basin, or valley. became lake.
This valley has an area, approximately,
of 100 by 80 miles, and it is surrounded
by extinct volcanoes. These volcanoes
emptied themselves into the lake, and
the trees became soaked with the silic-
eous water. Silica took the place of every
fiber and atom of wood. The colors of
red, brown, yellow, and purple came from
the iron and manganese in solution In
the water. All this took place before the
existence of the Grand Canon of the Col
orado. When nature formed that big ditch
the lake was drained, and the water, in
its rush to the northwest, leveled the
stone trees, breaking them oft as smooth
as If they had been sawed. This sustains
the theory that the trees were petrified
where they grew.
The fact that nearly all the fallen
trunks lie in one direction, and to the
northwest, sustains the theory that the
lake emptied to the northwest and into
the Grand Canon.

At first Mr.. Smith could not understand

went for him first. and but for the fact
that he was not in a position to appreci-

a sight which must have been comical in

strapped to his bicycle, but it might as
well have been a hundred miles away. He
cast his eyes about in order to discover
some place Of retreat so soon as the lions

Three of the Beasts Were After MIR.
Smith.
From the Rhodesia Herald.
1t falls to the lot of but few men to
come so near to a violent death and yet
escape unframed as was the case with
Mr.. ]. A. Smith, who had been working
as a mechanical engineer at the Inez.
Having finished the work for which he
had engaged he left the Inez. intending to
cycle into Salisbury. stopping for a copule
of days at the Great Bear. He left the latter
place for Gadzima. travelling along the
line Of railway extension. On reaching the
spot where the line crosses the Umfull
river he found, as the bridge is not yet
erected, that he would have to go round
by the deviation and cross at the railway
drift. This necessitated wading through
the river and carrying the bicycle. On
reaching the level again he put his ma
chine down in order to resume his boots
and socks. and feeling rather fatigned
after his exertions stayed for a. brief rest
While enjoying the rest his attention was
drawn to a troop OF very fine sable-two
magnificent bulls and three Concentrating
their way up from the other side Of the
river in the direction of fringe Of for
est beyond. Feeling sufficiently refreshed
he picked up his machine, preparatory 10
starting again for Gadzima, which he
wished TO reach before 1t became dark
The next moment MIR. Smith received q
shock which he will not forget for many
a long day. About fifty yards away and
slightly to his right were three lions. so
intent on stalking the sable that they
were not looking in his direction.
il was an awkward position, TO say the
least. and for brief space he stood like
one petrihed, but although his limbs for
moment were numb his mind was ac-
tive enough. The largest of the three
was a huge black NAMED lion, the second
was a lioness, while the third was an
almost full-grown cub. The latter was
the first to observe Mr.. Smith, ana utter

man, who. dropping his bicycle, stayed
not on the order OF his going, but went
for a friendly tree at top speed.
He had just time TO notice that the

their young hopeful. the sight, as may
be imagined, only serving 20 accelerate
