 Recently in excavating and quarry ing for a new road along Rock Creek the workmen came upon a number of these petrified tree trunks. Fortunate ly, they were found on government property, by government employees, and have since been transferred to the Ma tional Museum. where they have been on exhibit for the past week. These fossil tree trunks were not converted into agate or chalcedony, as in the Ari- zona specimens, but into a rather hard. yellowish stone, somewhat resembling the sandstone in which the trunks are imbedded The grain of the wood is wonderfully well preserved, better even than the trunks from the Petrified For est of Arizona, and at a short distance cannot be distinguished from real wood.

PETRIFIED TREES
Five Specimens Discovered not Far
 From Washington.

The geological section of the National Museum has just received from the shores of Rock Creek, at the point where that stream flows through the grounds of the National Zoo, several specimens of petrified tree trunks, which are quite as interesting as any of the somewhat similar specimens from the Petrifed Forest of Arizona.
 Washington is situated on the border Of two separate and distinct geological zones, the dividing line running up Rock Creek from south to north. The country to the east, on which the great CT part of Washington is situated, was built up from the sea during the Ter tiary period, while that to the west eX- tending back to the first foothills of the Appalachian range, is of the Jurassic period. the age of the reptiles, dinos aurs, and great palm and cycad forests. At that time the sea extended as far west as Georgetown, the shore line fol- lowing about the same trend as that now taken by Rock Creek.

CATS ON THE PAYROLL.

What is to become of the cat en- ployes of the postoffice department now that Beavers is out2 He had many on the payroll, and there never was a breath of scandal against one of them. They did their full duty. They saved countless letters from destruction by rats and mice. Every postmaster in our larger cities was instructed that he could legally use small sums for the purchase of milk and meat for these cats. We have not yet heard how many postmasters put the money in their pockets and let Tom and Pussy hustle for a livelihood. But that is no reflection on the cats. There is an aged cat in the Bank of England which draws pension, just as there are dogs in Persia fed at the states expense It will surely be a white mark in Beavers favor that he employed cats in the department.-New York Press.

HOME OF SILVER DOLLAR.
Chicago Is the Dividing Line for Paper

The home of the silver dollar is the the west An eastern tenderfoot can always be picked out in a western town by his look of surprise or annoy ance on taking a handful of silver dol lars in change. Out in the wheat sec tion a country merchant carefully scrutinizes a silver certificate to see if it is real money. As a. matter of curi- osity, I once searched an Oklahoma town for a two-dollar silver certificate. discovered one, finally. in a drug shop. It was a very dirty piece of money. and the shopkeeper was glad
 to get rid of it in exchange for two silver dollars. All the way from Chi cago westward to the coast. the silver dollar is the everyday coin of the peo- pie. No enc can blame a westerner for prefering bright silver dollars to the torn. dirty paper money that cir culates beyond the Mississippi. But, as the west comes more in touch with the east. silver dollars are bound to disappear gradually from circulation. When it is considered how common IS the use of silver dollars in the west, the small quantity of silver in circula- tion is amazing. Although there are and the hints are sending out fifteen hundred thousand a month, there are only about 75,O00,000 outside the treas ury. The treasury vaults are glutted with them. The space thus unused silver dollars occupy equals a tunnel seven feet in diameter and mile long. Of this great mass of silver, four hun dred and seventy million dollars are held in trust against silver certificates, practically all of which are in circula-

HOW A NOVEL TAKES FORM
Iarper's Literary Gossip.

Little is known of Mrs. Humphry
Wards methods of composition, but the
following extract from one of her own
addresses at the Passmore Edwards Set
Element will be of interest to readers of
Lady Roses Daughter" who are puz-
zled by the authors development of Julie
LIE Breton. This settlement, be it said,
was founded upon Mrs. Wards own plans
of social reform, and engages her active
assistance as well as that of her daugh-
ter, Miss Dorothy Ward. Mrs. Ward said:
thine passes, and every scheme in
which there is germ of life develops in
ways some expected, some unexpected
and makes its own character. 1t is like
if I may take an illustration from my
own trade-it is like character in
novel. The story-teller plans it in this
way or in that. You scribble down on
your first sheet of paper such and such
incidents. Your hero is to end badly or
to end well. Marriage bells there shall
certainly be!-on that last far-off page
Or, If you are in a sterner mood, you
see all the forces of the pit unclaimed
about your poor puppets A shipwreck-
railway accident-some new disease
with long name-you write it down in
exorably. But then you begin your
work. And after a little while, as your
grip tightens, as your characters come
out of the mist, they begin to make
themselves, to shape their own story
Your idea remains, if it had any virtue.
Often one looks back with strange thrill
to see how near the thought of the end
has been to the thought of the beginning
But on the way it has taken to itself a
score of fresh forms and developments. !"

Edith Thomas, writing of recent poetry
In The Bookman, remarks that "all the
world loves a love song" It is true. A
sweet and touching love song appeals to
the tender side Of the most illiterate Of
human beings. or the most callous and
brutal of them, as we'll as to the most re-
fined. There are certain chords in the
nature of every human being, which swept
by the tender motif of the song and its
musical expression, vibrates responsibility
when they can be touched by no other in

hearts. Many love songs, which have a
somewhat monotonous metrical construc-

eyes of many. There is no accounting for

To Prison.

Minneapolis is certainly doing its part
country an example of severity In deal.
ing with faithless public officials. After
many months the supreme court has af-
firnled the finding Of the district court in
the case against Colonel Frederick w.
Ames, and the former chief Of police has
been taken into custody and now begins
to serve a state prison sentence Of six
years and six months.
There Is remarkable similarity be-
tween the two brothers-the colonel and
the former mayor-in the way in which
each has done his best to overcome
suspicious circumstances and excellent
opportunities. The colonel had the good
fortune to command the Thirteenth Min
,nesota during a part of its stay in the
Philippines. and when the regiment left
Minneapolis he had host Of friends.
But from the moment the door of oppor-
tunity was opened to him he has done
his best to shut It, After the chance he
had in the Philippines he had another
splendid opportunity as chief Of police,
and how he abused that is now an old
story. The public knows too well how
the former mayor has persistently rejected
the numerous overtures fortune has made
to him.
The fate that has overtaken these two
brothers is a warning to all other Offend
ers against the public and an admonish-
ment to young and ambitious men that
best of opportunities may be offset and
the most promising career ruined.

Proud eyes, which did not melt at their

Which feign, but never know tender

White hands, which shall never touch

Sweet breath, which poisons like a stag

Rare hair. which hides serpent in each

Rich lips, with honeyed falsehood to con-

then.
Yet were it given to me to sit above
Your petty world, that might judge your

The penalty incurred by all your blame;
