more it makes certain through David

La Toilette must be party idol great

he declared that if elected governor
he should serve out his term and that
he should desire reelection to enable
him to complete the reforms under
taken. That was the effect OF his
statement. No promise was made to
serve out a second term. and now the
claim is made that ne has no intention
of doing so if the senatorship can be
reached. The plan outlined by those

Like an Immense Bowl.

The crater is 700 yards across the
top and 300 yards deep. 1t was a
warm time when this great caldron
was full to the brim with boiling
rock A terrible potful it must have
been, an doubly fearful, says the
Baltimore Sun, when that stupendous
weight burst out the side Of the pot
and poured and roared down the val
ley a food of FIRE. Think of lake
of lava so heavy that it simply tore
out a mountain side 800 feet high and
500 feet thick at the bottom.
The break in the crater is nearly v
shape, 1000 feet across the top, and
over 500 feet from top to bottom. All
that great mass of solid rock, weigh
ing millions of tons, was knocked out
as unceremoniously as though giant
had cleft it with a axe.
II was from this sort of spring that
the rivers of stone had their source
many centuries ago. First above the
soughing of the pines rose deep pent-
up rumblings, and the solid earth
rocked and shivered. Then there was
great explosion, just where that
still brown cone stands today This
great wart was heayed up from the
level plateau, and a vast cloud of
steam and ashes sprang far into the
sky.
Then the molten food Of rock rose
in the graet bowl and brimmed it, and

SEVEN MILES LONG.
CAVE ITS SOURCE
Curious Natural Freaks Found in
Country Astounding in Extinct
Craters-How the Molten Flood
Grows Slowly Cold and Hardens--,
A Natural Refrigerator.

In his interesting book on some
Strange Corners of Our Countrywide
Wonderland of the Southwest, Charles
F. Lummis has a chapter on the vol
canic regions in the Zuni mountains OF
western New Mexico and the rivers
of stone which in former ages flowed
from many volcanoes that are now
extinct"
These volcanoes are not lofty peaks,
but they are in an elevated country
much higher above the sea level than
the submits of many mountains.
There are scores and scores of these
scattered volcanoes, and their lava
flows have overrun many thousands of
square miles. The range, which has
an altitude of 5000 feet, is covered
with magnificent pine forest, parity
growing upon ancient lava flows and
cut in all directions by later ones. In
the picturesque Zuni canon the lava,
too impatient to await outlet by a
crater, boiled out in great waves
from under the bottom of the canon's
walls, which are sandstone precipices,
hundreds of feet high.
The largest crater in this range
rises 500 feet above the plateau. 1t is
great reddish-brown truncated cone,
exceedingly difficult 10 climb The
crater, viewed from the top, is
yawning abyss of dizzy depth and
savage grandeur. A few hundred feet
below the rim under a cliff of roasted
rock little grove of cottonwood trees
fourishese in this gruesome spot,
the roots clutching amid the ashy
rocks and the tops hundreds of feet
below the rim. In the caves of this
dead crater many bears have their
dens.
