IA MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Devils Corkscrew' No Longer
Puzzles Scientific Men.
Huge Spinal Columns OF Quarts Rock
tn Nebraska Discovered 10 he
Gigantic FOssIIized Water
Weeds.

The mystery of the Devils cork
screw is solved at last. And the ex-
planation is almost as wonderful as
the puzzle, says the Louisville Cour-
ier-Journal.
For some time past scientific at
tention has been bent upon certain
extraordinary freaks of nature in
the Bad Lands of Nebraska. They
are corkscrew-shaped columns of
quartz, often Is to 20 feet in height,
and are found in great numbers en-
bedded in the sandstone hills of that
region. Always standing perfectly
vertical, and so absolutely sym
.metrical as to challenge comparison
for accuracy of design with any
work of the sculptor's art; they are
numbered literally by millions, being
''weathered out" singly and in rows
from the sides of the cliffs.
For lack of a better name the
spiral columns came to be known as
devils cOTksCTews-a term which
science has accepted. designating the
phenomenon as the "daemOnelix,"
which means exactly the same thing.
The more dignifed title was be-
slowed by Prof. f. H. Barbour, Of
the University of Nebraska, who re-,
Gently headed an exploring expedi-
ton sent out to the Bad Lands by
that educational institution for no
other purpose than to find a solu-
tiOn for the strange problem.
A good many of the corkscrews
were quarried out of the sandstone
rock by the Barbour party, and a
notable part of their structure in

But what for?' he asked
For personal damages. There
should have been a railing or q light,
but there was neither. and my injury
will lay me up for weeks
But don't you know what you es-
capped by falling into the sewer" he
asked.
"'No.'
Then let me tell You that the roof
of the hotel fell in last night and
killed three men, and if you had been
in your bed you would have been
crushed to pulp. You really owe this
town something instead of talking
about damages.
"When able TO get out" continued
the drummer, 81 found that public
opinion was against me and the people
ready to stand a suit. and by advice
of a lawyer l settled the case for $125.
Il didn't even get all that In tum-

each case was found to be a huge
''rott' (if such it might be termed)
attached to the lower end. The root
was sometimes as big around as a
hogshead, and in { large specimen
with a spiral of, say, - feet) the
root would be as much as 20 feet
long.
After a thorough exploration of
the daemoneliX beds" aad after
carefully quarrying ont several hum

cided that the corkscrews were un.

their symmetrical form could be ac.
counted for in no other way. They
were assuredly not animals, and so
must have been plants. If so, what
kind Of plants? The answer 10 this
question was only to be obtained by
reviewing the geological history of
the region.
Now, it appears that all that part
of the country was covered. a million
years ago, by an immense lake,
which occupied the whole of the
vast basin east of the Rocky
mountains. 1t was an inland sea Of
fresh water. on the bottom of which
grew the most wonderful water
weeds that ever existed. Some Of
them were 90 feet or more il height,
and they assumed the form of large
spirals. mathematically exact in
curvature. Quite possibly each of
them was composed of a group of
plants. forming a sort of community,
but this is uncertain.
Anyway. in the course of ages.
vast quantities of mud and such
detritus were poured by the rivers
into the lake. and thus the water
