MONTE CARLO RENTS FOR
100000 A YEAR.

Paris, May 15.-The annual report Of
the Monte Carlo Casino company has
just been issued and shows that there
has been a sufficiently large decrease IN
the net profits to cause a dividend to %.
declared 10 francs per share smaller than
for the preceding year.
This decline in the net profits of the
roulette and trente ct quarante tables
is due not to any falling off in the re-
ceipts, which, indeed, are larger than
those of the preceding II months but to
the enormous increase in the expenses
which the Casino company has to bear.
Most of these additional expenses go into
the pocket of the Prince of Monaco, as
he only consented to renew the conces-
sion to the company for another period
of so years dating from 1900 on the con.

BEAUTIES OF ARlZONA'S
PETRlFIED FORESTS

most beautiful, interesting and de-
cidedly unique exhibit has just been set
up in the Mines building of the Pan
American exposition. 1t is that of the
| agatized wood specimens from Chalce-
dony park, Apache county, Arizona.
| These specimens consist of cross sec
lions of trees polished to high degree
of brillancy, and showing most beauti-
full colors. In some of the specimens
the petrtied bark still surrounds the
section of the tree. This petrified forest
looks more like a stone quarry than
forest. as the prehistoric trees are
mostly strewn around in broken Sec
tions. One picture, however, shows an
almost perfect petrfied tree.
These sections of trees are generally
found projecting from volcanic ash and
lava. which is covered with sandstone
to the depth of 20 to 80 feet and lie
exposed in gulches and basins where
water has Worn away the sandstone.
Many scientific men, whose study of
geology has been all that years of toll
and observation could embrace, have
during the past few years visited this
wonder of wonders. and all seems to be
lost scientifically; their theories are like
the pieces of silicified wood, no two
alike.
1t is. however, generally conceded that
this was a tropical VIVID, transformed
in prehistoric era from living, grow
ing forest to the present recumbent Sec
tions O. inter- blended agate, Jasper, call
eide, jade. amethyst, etc. Although Sill
icified wood is found in many localities,
never before was seen such a variety of
coloring, with sound hearts of large
trees. and sound bark.
While the quantity of material Is
great the sound sections are very linn
tied, and after years of labor in seloc>
ton of material tit for working, and the
erection of costly machinery for cut
ting and polishing. it is, and must ever
remain a rare and costly article, since
in hardness it is only three degrees from
a diamond. Steel will not scratch It,,
nor can it be stained by ink.
M:croscopical examinations reveal a
part of this wood to be the genus Arau-
caria, or the Norfolk island pine of the
Southern Pacific ocean. All the spec!-
mems examined show that the wood was
| undergoing decay before being filled with
the various media which afterwar Is
soldified. On some of the specimens
traces of fungi (mycelium) causing de-
cay, may be plainly seen. The process
OF petrtication possibly resulted from
the tree being submerged by hot geysers
t bearing silicon in solution, the rich oxi-
dies of Arizona inter- mixed with silicon
and the cell tissues of the wood we, :,
! substituted by the silicious solution ana
then solidified.
